Gemini: Temptations are all around you: be it money, food, or possible romances. Beware, my friend: they’re all red herrings, mere distractions! Use your self satisfaction as a transitional object.

Cancer: Monday just isn’t your day, but only if you let it get to you. But don’t despair, regression is always one step back backward and two step forwards. Tuesday will be coming and with it a replenishing of narcissistic supplies.

Aquarius: You will be spending this month in the living room. Just like last month. Sorry to break it to you. Take your shoes off, settle in, and enjoy some well-deserved home time. Consider taking up gardening or another polymorphously perverse hobby.

Pisces: Be careful! There are problems and agressions projected on you from the news lately, but don’t identify with the projections! Instead, try to be content with the discomfort and then move on.

Aries: The energy you radiate is ever present, numinous, and oceanic. Keep cheerful, share your “O” with loved ones, and present a seemingly positive false-self to the world until your denial wears out.

Taurus:  Rejoice! The stress you’ve been experiencing lately will soon be gone before summer borderline histrionics take over. Psychical inertia will be replaced by pure, unadulterated mania.
