Star signs

Girls' Life, Feb-March, 2005 by Lola Starz

Pisces 2/19-3/20

FEBRUARY School is your primary focus this month, Fish. That makes you wanna cry an ocean of tears? Don't fret! If you put your strong creative spirit to work for you, chugging along on the academic track can actually be fun-packed. Really.

MARCH Make a beeline for the mall because the latest buzz is that it's time to shop, shop, shop! Take some of that birthday money you scored, and buy yourself a bevy of beautiful and fabulous stuff. Stop trying to resist the urge to splurge. You, dah-ling, deserve to shower yourself with lovely gifts.

* COSMIC CRUSH * Lola definitely detects some romance in your aura, but Cupid might not strike quite in time for Valentine's Day. Looks like a crush is likely to come in your direction a few days after the big love event. He'll sneak up on you when you least expect it, but then he'll probably come on pretty strong with way out-there signs of his affection. How sweet it is.

Aries 3/21-4/19

FEBRUARY You've been giving so much of yourself to others, but one person in particular is being neglected. You! Give yourself a little much-needed attention and TLC, Aries girl.

MARCH Man, Ram, you might have to pull off a major juggling act this month. Between teachers, buds, parents and maybe a BF, it might seem pretty much impossible to please everybody! But, strong Aries, if anyone can pull it off, you can.

* COSMIC CRUSH * If you don't already have a guy, you're likely to make a deep emotional connection with someone new. Sorry, no way to predict when you can expect the mystery dude to make his appearance.

Taurus 4/20-5/20

FEBRUARY Your attention to studies is picking up steam, and expect a lot of good to come out of it. You should be seeing one stellar report card, which could lead to extra privileges (or even some reward money!) ... and that could send you spinning into social bliss.

MARCH How about a little forward-thinking finesse? Rather than pushing that not-due-for-a-few project aside, hop to it. If you give it your all now, you won't be scrambling around later in a half-baked effort to just get by.

* COSMIC CRUSH * Patience should be your priority when it comes to the pitter-patter of your heartbeat. Have a BF? He'll grow up ... eventually. No guy? No rush on the crush. And if anybody has what it takes to hold out for the right dude to come around, it's you, stubborn (er, patient) Taurus.

Gemini 5/21-6/21

FEBRUARY School will rule! And not just because good grades are a breeze for you. It looks as if you're likely to be honored in some truly spectacular way. You're a real superstar, Twin girl!

MARCH Oh, your killer confidence and fabulous boldness are revving into high gear, dear. Look out, world! There's a speaks-her-mind Gemini on the scene, and she downright rocks.

* COSMIC CRUSH * Cupid could hit you with his pointy arrow, but you're not about to turn to insta-melt mush anytime soon. You're smart enough to take your time to get to know a dude before declaring full-on fondness for him. As the song goes: "Can't hurry love."

Cancer 6/22-7/22

FEBRUARY Your meager allowance just isn't quite cutting it? Think. How can you rake in more bucks? Apply for a weekend mall stint, or bang some of those beaded bracelets you make assembly-line style and sell, sell, sell. Cha-ching!

MARCH Crab, can you say "hectic"? That about wraps up your month in two simple syllables. Buckle down for some drama, but offset the stress with a little MTV Yoga or meditating or both.

* COSMIC CRUSH * Your social scene should be steaming up, and that could definitely add up to a crush connection. What might start out as a friendship could morph into romance before you even know what hit.

Leo 7/23-8/22

FEBRUARY You're not sitting around waiting for any invites. You're determined to make the party happen! A mane event, if you will. Hey, why not host a boy-girl V Day get-together? Better yet, how about a girls' night in?

MARCH OK, last month was all about partying it up. Now, it's time for more serious stuff. So you might miss out on an all-ages concert or school play. So what? You're savvy enough to know when more important things command your attention, Lioness.

* COSMIC CRUSH * Don't be so darn antsy about meeting a boy. You're not going to find him until you stop looking. A girl who can carry herself confidently, without needing a dude, wins the Most Attractive Award.

Virgo 8/23-9/22

FEBRUARY This is a good month to keep a low social profile and focus more on your super-duper, fabulous self. Hey, it's cold outside so warm up by staying active. Pop in a Pilates DVD, go for a brisk winter walk, or take up a snow sport.

MARCH Don't worry 'bout getting stuck in a rote rut. Changes are happening, and they keep you on a thrill ride. Hang on tight, and enjoy!

* COSMIC CRUSH * Brrr ... The weather outside might be fr-fr-freezing, but your crush prospects are sooo hot and absolutely abundant. Cute/smart/sweet boys should be popping up just about everywhere you go. Take your pick, girl friend.
