Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)If you’re not careful, your efforts to help someone can actually hurt them by making them essentially helpless, or worse, a parasite. It’s a noble thing to offer a hand when someone’s suffering, but be careful not to cross a line, effectively denying them the opportunity to be independent. Your admirable intentions […]

Sign Language: Lay your traps, Capricorn
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Imagine if you could just give someone a pill and it would make them more patient, spontaneous, or reliable. You could even grind it into powder and slip it into a drink without them ever suspecting. Would you? While both of you might be happier for it, what would it cost you, […]
Sign Language: Your compassion is a strength, Pisces
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)You’ve set the ball in motion for a change, and of course you’re terrified. However, I admire your courage, proceeding despite your fears. Since you can’t know what will happen next, it’s brave of you to go ahead anyway. Just trust your gut. It’s served you well in the past, and things […]
Sign Language: Enjoy the ride, Cancer
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Sagittarians are famously known as the truth-seekers and truth-tellers of the zodiac. Being habitually frank means you can’t always understand (or, occasionally, feel compassion for) those who are deceptive or untruthful in order to get their way, avoid confrontation, or simply for fun. This, however, is one of those situations where you […]
Sign Language: Time to keep it real, Sagittarius
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Do ends justify means? What happens when you discover something someone did, after the fact? You’re more or less pleased with how things ended up, so is it worth getting worked up over exactly how it happened? The unsavory methods used to get to this place are over and done with, […]
Sign Language: Stick with it, Sagittarius!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Sleepwalkers engage in a variety of fairly complex activities and wake up completely unaware of ever having done them. Unfortunately, somnambulism isn’t as much of a get-out-of-jail-free card as you might imagine. Although it’s hardly fair to make someone accountable for things they did while asleep, it’s still likely to make […]
Sign Language: Just block the Fox News fanatics, Taurus
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Being in business with someone you don’t think is on the up and up is never fun. However, we frequently end up in situations where we must interact with people we know don’t have our best interests in mind, like banks, insurance companies, and, well, literally every corporation. Financially, it’s very […]
Sign Language: Time to step up, Capricorn (or no one else will)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) When you were younger, you played games to test your own strength much like the way baby animals playfully enact versions of the activities they’ll require for survival and success later in life, like hunting, chasing, and fighting. At some point, though, part of becoming a mature, compassionate, and conscious Scorpio […]
Sign Language: Don’t worry about the crumbs, Capricorn
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) There are at least seven major cities that are in imminent danger of sinking, including Bangkok, New Orleans, and New York. Rising water levels due to global warming and crappy foundations are mostly to blame. This made me think of you, Scorpio. Why? You may not realize that you’re in danger […]
Sign Language: Don’t be so bloodthirsty, Scorpio
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Sure, you could bake a traditional apple pie, but these particular guests would probably be more excited if, when they cut into that innocuous crust, they discovered bacon and pecans, or avocado and kiwi – something surprising and just as delicious, if not more so. Thinking outside the box isn’t your […]
Sign Language: It isn’t magic, Scorpio
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) What makes you happy? I’m worried that you’ve forgotten three-quarters of a once quite-extensive list. That’s made the remaining items unreasonably important, and it can consequently be devastating when one of them goes missing. Spend some time this week dredging up the rest of your Things That Make Me Happy List […]
Sign Language: Time for new glasses, Scorpio
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Some kinds of bamboo grow so quickly you can almost see it happen. Daily growth is measured in feet, not inches or millimeters. On the other hand, some forms of life scarcely change at all over many years. Your own transformations seem to swing wildly between extremes like these. For years, […]
Sign Language: Keep it short and sweet, Cancer
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) It’s amazing how some people’s stories change when they’re backed into a corner. Why would you trust someone so slippery when they’ve already proven that they’ll reveal some portion of an inconvenient, embarrassing, or shameful truth only when they feel they have no other choice? While it’s important to generally give […]
Sign Language: Rock that ‘fro, Gemini
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Lately, you’ve been craving imperfection. You’ve enjoyed your toast a little burnt, your clothing slightly frayed, and your apartment three degrees away from an ideal temperature. It’s not that you’ve finally accepted that the world isn’t perfect, or that you’ve become that much more appreciative of those imperfections (though you have). […]
Sign Language: Be a wild card, Libra
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Kittens, teenagers, and lovers simply don’t respond well to uninvited discipline, no matter how much they need it. Sucks for you, when you’ve got livid red scratch marks all over your ankles and ego from their rambunctiously playful antics. It’s tragic that they don’t even stop once they’ve drawn blood – […]
Sign Language: Just because it isn’t a sentient robot doesn’t mean it isn’t worth your time, Pisces
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You dream you meet your soulmate, who turns out to be a duck. As they cock their head to allow first one beady eye, then the other, to gaze longingly into your dewy pair, you listen to their tales of the Fowl Revolution. The moment you fervently swear allegiance to their […]
