Taurus(April 20 - May 20)
It's not an easy day for you Bulls [duh!]. It could seem like there is one too many things pulling you in at least one too many directions [maybe that's why I'm so tired]. You just cannot bend in all the ways being asked of you [contortionist I am not]. You'd like to make it work, but it feels like hidden forces [deep] from other dimensions are at play and you are now sailing directly into the winds of fate [that cannot be good]. Don't waste too much energy fighting it [does this mean give up, or issue only a token protest?]. The winds will change again and you will become the master of your own ship [denoting that I am not in control now. but does this mean that the someone that supposedly is will no longer be? and how will that one work?].

General Daily Overview
Scorpio [doh!] is a fixed water sign. Astrologically, water symbolizes emotions [hence the careful application of eye make-up to hide the smudgies and pudgies]. And the intensity of Scorpio's fixed passion is legendary [feh. where is selfish in all of that?]. Today, with the Moon traveling through Scorpio, we can each become somewhat compulsive about expressing what we need [although not necessarily to the one we need it from, no?]. The Sun is now in Aquarius -- another fixed sign [grrrrreat]. And Mars is now moving through Taurus, which is yet a third fixed sign [three strikes, I'm out!]. These energies are creating an incredible amount of resistance to change [darn tootin'. It's my life, for what it's worth, and though not perfect at least I'm familiar with it.] -- but something will have to give [uh oh], for things are surely changing [sigh....I guess I'll wait and see what changes, although I doubt I'm gonna like it].

After the morning's altercation with a certain 2-legger over a certain 4-legger [and that's all the details I'm giving right now] I just about predicted this astrological forcast. Now, it's one thing when you read a horoscope and say, 'Yeah, well, I suppose I could stretch that to relate to situation x-y-z, but it's reaching,' and--based on your theory that the cosmos is dumping on you today--turn all Delphic Oracle, without the benefit of the happy gas the oracle's were on even.
Yes, I get my horoscope in my in-box everyday. Why? Mostly for fun, just to see how vague they can get, how all-encompassing the indicators can be. Today, though, today was one of the pin-pricks of "what if there's something to that" that puts the heebie-jeebies into a body. There's irony somewhere in here, but its thin and hidden deep in my own psyche. But this still doesn't explain why the astro-gremlins had to mess with the printer this morning as well? Or why I was slightly surprised at the massive, sequentially-numbered-no-more broohaha that ensued. Or that it ensued, rather; I should have known. If there are no ellipticals available at the gym tonight I'll take it as a sign to buy that 4-pack of mudslides I put back on Saturday and get silly--I'll deserve it by then!
