Yo October Horrendouscope

Yo Libra -

There is more than one way to place the weight

finding balance in extremities

and more than one-way streets in your community ~

Yo Scorpio -

Catch as catch can but can ya? ~

Yo Sagitarrius -

Either send the arrow and/or run your next play

but get your vision corrected and we'll all have a better day ~

Yo Capricorn -

12 o'clock on the Zodiac brings no luck duck but fortune fares

when Mercury stops spinning backwards ~

Yo Aquarius -

A river runs through uncongruous you ~

Yo Pisces -

Your out-of-joint nose is a permanent fixture - try some liver tonic and

genuine laughter ~

Yo Aries -

Airy fairies play beneath your feet but we think you deep ~

Yo Taurus -

When ya wreck the china shop ya gotta stop

and repair - it's only fair ~

Yo Gemini - GEEEZ you two are a handful - get in line please! ~

Yo Cancer - 6 o'clock Is the sweetest spot

unlike the bottom of the pot ~

Yo Leo - meouw wow how now brown cow? ~

Yo Virgo - if we only knew what lurks beneath innocent

playful you ~ ~ ~

Yo April Horrendouscope . . .

Yo Aries -

The air is thick with

Spring birthdays

as naturally you fly highest right now -

but get grounded

somehow !  ~

Yo Taurus -

Your bull-head needs to go to bed !  ~

Yo Cancer -

Sweet though you may be

your cranky side makes you snide and sometimes

hide ! ~

Yo Gemini -

All of us want both of you to

pay attention ! ~

Yo Leo -

Roar !

Roar !

Roar !

Is there something constructive you could do

with the power of all that noise ? ~

Yo Virgo -

A little birdy told me

you've made great strides of late ! ~

Yo Libra -

All things being equal may just

save the day ! ~

Yo Scorpio !

Try to let a wound heal before you 

sting yourself in the back 

again ! ~

Yo Sagittarius -

Your off-the-top postion

requires elbow room

according to the neighbors ! ~

Yo Capricorn -

Hang on to the ground and

listen for the echo up the range ! ~

Yo Aquarius -

You are notoriously mysterious

but try not to be so

delirious ! ~

Yo Pisces -

Yet again you swim in the same ole creek

but

you're learning where not to put your

feet ! ~~~~~~~~~~~

Yo December Horrendouscope . . .

     Yo Mad-cap Capricorn ~

They say it's your birthday !!!

Gonna have a good time !!

Happy birthday to you ! - to all of you

residing at Zodiac twelve o'clock  -

hold onto your hat and holiday humor

but save your serious side for

Mercury's proximity ! ~~~~~~~~~~

     Yo Quirky Aquarius ~

While you're quick to find which way

the river flows -

you're propensity to playfully paddle

puts you in need of swimming upstream

when too many miles from home has

passed by you  ! ~~~~~~~~~~

     Yo Punitive Pisces ~

Lighten up please and thank you -

would it help if somebody

spanked you ? ~~~~~~

     Yo Air-born Aries ~

Take a breath in 2009

and look behind - with pause and awe

at what the wind blew in ! ~~~~~

     Yo Tempestuous Taurus ~

You threaten to

bore us

with your bull-headed single mindedness -

what good is power

with blindness ? ~~~~~~~~~

     Yo Chivalrous Cancer ~

Sweetness and light so become you

but when you are curled up in your shell

with a story to tell -

we can't hear you ! ~~~~~~~~~~

     Yo Grateful Gemini ~

Although you are happy in your dichotomy -

try to remember the rest of us

are perhaps not

dually blessed

and would all y'all

give us a rest ! ~~~~~~~~~~

     Yo Lunar Leo ~

The Man in the December Moon

cools the fire in your Sun sign

beginning next year

but just for a little while and then it's

business as usual ! ~~~~~~~~~

     Yo Virtuous Virgo ~

You are the vast visionary

and late in the month you are riding

like Mercury -

reading right between the

lines ! ~~~~~~~~~

     Yo Leveling Libra ~

The balance comes back

when you know for sure which end is

up - so don't get in a

rut ! ~~~~~~~

     Yo Single-minded Scorpio ~

Your stinger is a formidable weapon but

beware of careless aim -

watch your own back when mad with power or just

mad ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Yo Target-happy Sagittarius ~

So you're good with a bow and arrow -

but what else can you do ?

Be careful where you step with all fours

and watch your tail when closing

doors ! ~~~~~~~~~~

Yo March Horrendouscope Dahlink !

As Mercury in retro-grade began a slow torture

for some signs in the Zodiac

in January -

it has messed with things technological

and electrical and now the other signs

get their turn on its way back ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yo Pisces ~

Cat got your tongue ?

You've paused long enough -

spit it out !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yo Aries ~

When trouble comes you can

cheerfully capitalize on it

but do the boring number shuffle -

promptly and without regret !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yo Taurus ~

You can pick your nose and

you can pick your friends but

you can't pick your friends nose !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yo Gemini ~

You are dually blessed but

your pride comes right before

your nose hits the dirt -

a hand up is not a hand-out !

Calm down - Mercury is coming

back around ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yo Cancer ~

All work and no play

makes you a dull _______ ?

Assume nothing until you gather data !

~~~~~~~~~

Yo Leo ~

Attention to levity serves when

your mirth is at a low

Avoid a tail-chasing episode !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yo Virgo ~

You'll win this month at an aptitude test

and find something better

that you saw as only best !

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yo Libra ~

A loving display and a fabulous feast

counter the wild sway from

Mercurial heat !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yo Scorpio ~

Bend or break with those not strangers

but you'll have to

push beyond your usual parameters !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yo Sagittarius ~

Mercury has you melancholy -

revitalize with honest disclosure

as clarity rules !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yo Capricorn ~

Your notion of literacy project was

ahead of its time -

what else do you have up your sleeve ?

Wait until mercury shifts a little please !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yo Aquarius ~

Remember we're in the Big Schoolhouse here

so take it easy on yourself but

do announce your big plan for the future !

Mercurial waves subside ~

Sign of conception . . .

. . . could perhaps be

important !!!??

I was conceived approximately in the

first week of October -

the same week in which my father died

later on

and shortly before the birth date of

my Libra mother

and I'm not a master in Astrology

or anything

but I think it's kind of

interesting

and among my children -

there are

three born in the same three Aries weeks

conceived in Cancer - a sweet sign

very compatible with me

and one child was conceived

along with my father

in an earthy Taurus week -

a sign I'm most able to

contend with 

if

they're a friendly male

like my son -

so I'm finding this as I calculate

and don't know what to say just yet

but I'll bet

there's more to this than

meets the

eye . . .

Stayed tuned for post:

" Yo January Horredouscope "

cuz it's better late than never !

Yo Horrendouscope

Yo Capricorn ~

Lately you're letting go

of your fantastically domestic notions

in position - open

as Mercury in retro-grade

makes all signs feel

Yin/Yang

commotion thru March ~~~~~~

~~~~~~

Yo Aquarius ~

Your flow has eased

and settled -

release your heavy metals and

tendency to take responsibility personally

It's only life ~~~~~~~~~

~~~

Yo Pisces ~

You cannot hide your

sensitive side - don't bother

as we ghosts gather to your side

as your luck would have it ~~~

~~~~

Yo Aries ~

Aren't you glad to be home ?

And where does air go from

here ?   See answer at the

end of the year ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~

Yo Taurus ~

Your bully is woolly and

softens this spring

but the Mercury motion is

felt into summertime ~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~

Yo Gemini ~

The two of you do well to

get together

gathering force in oneness of

dichotomous gesture ~~~

~~~

Yo Cancer ~

Crabs sequestered are just some kind of

rocks

Come out - come out ! ~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~

Yo Leo ~

Your rule escapes the jungle

at the edges and the shore

as you snore thru Mercurial

storm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~

Yo Virgo ~

Will you never stop playing -

and when will you stop to play ?

Be grateful for your blessedness

and share ~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yo Libra ~

The scale is stopped at tip

but with a helping hand

could balance out

again -

direct the wind ~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~

Yo Scorpio ~

With a stinger left in

you can't go far

pull it out

of your back

tell the truth and

go on ~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~

Yo Sagittarius ~

We could not drop it all to

help with your new toy -

put your bows and arrow away

for a day ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~

YO Horrendouscope is late this time

depending on whose

deadline

and definition

of how things should be done

and personally I'm interested more in watching

Mercury go and come

I'm just sayin . . .

Yo November horrendouscope

Yo Sagittarius ( Targets Everything )

You have the answer to

closure versus fence-walking

Pull a picket and create

a gladiator sword for your free self ~

Yo Capricorn ( Boat Goat )

Paraphrased like Patrick Henry stated:

' I may not agree but I'll

fight for your right to disagree '

Give in to your graffiti urge

Read - Your God is Too Small ! ~

Yo Aquarius ( Playfully Pouring )

Remember when your

' 15  minutes ' comes

popularity can bring scandal

multiplied ~

Yo Pisces ( Marshmallow Tank )

Un-freeze the resources

Humor front and center ~

Yo Aries ( Windy Leader )

Riddles and contradictions

should not be painful schisms but rather

mysterious unifications ~

Yo Taurus ( Bully in/out )

As you

"get" an opponent

to aid and abet your cause

your yin and yang

will help create the new

order of things ~

Yo Gemini ( A + B = C )

Since you are both hanging from

chandeliers in separate rooms

get together and find

the question

that will catalyze your evolution ~

Yo Libra ( See-Saw )

Walk through fear of

your honest desire

Transform something annoying until

it pleases

Go back to the defeat and

render it irrelevant ~

Yo Cancer ( Crabby Charmer )

You are blazing blooming

from barely having a pulse

and open to an influence

that was not a good place

previously for

your passion ~

Yo Leo ( King Paper Kitten )

In your peaceful rebellion

find the word meaning

' the force which is born of

truth and love '

( It's in Sanskrit - kit ! ) ~

Yo Virgo ( Nobly Naive )

Care well for yourself and

all else becomes better

Find the error in a notion

you support -

beyond blind loyalty ~

Yo Scorpio ( Self Stinger )

Give yourself to loving

all you see to

attract

the alignment you desire

and be kinder to your back ~

Once upon a Peony's birthday

When you were ten

a wide-smiling bud

of a beauty

you were a handful according

to your Mother

I've had no reason to question

her remembrance

and for me it confirms

you were a child once

just like I was

and I remember she loved you

can't forget

don't know why ~

~~~~~

At twenty you were my Mother

I could have no other

And I adored you

so did he

I was a cutie and

you were a

beauty and

a new sister joined us

she was cute too

and I remember you loved us

don't forget

how could I ? ~

~~~~~

By the time you were

thirty

you were Gorgeous George

flirty

looking great

in a very short skirt

I was terribly twelv-ish

approximately

peevish

and by now two more cuties

showed up

He was gone

you were strong

I remember you tried

can't forsake

sixth grade eyes ~

~~~~~

Forty sculpted the fabric

of your life like no other

He'd been back so perhaps

thank you both for

our Brother

I had bucked through your thirties

while you canvassed your mind

I ran wild

I remember you learned

can't unsketch

your fine lines ~

~~~~~

Degreed Grama at fifty

you were still  looking nifty

turning heads in your suit

at the pool

All your cuties were

Mommies

and our babies we prized

as we loved you a bushel

pecked and hugged around

your neck and a barrel

and a heap had us

talking in our sleep

about you

about . . .

I remember you lovely

no mistake

how time flies ~

~~~~~

At sixty you surprised me

with your boundless energy

You've been a long time coming

you'll be a long time gone

(Where is she now ?)

East West

somewhere in the atlas

holed up in Wyoming

with another bunch of canvas

Busting sod

moving rocks

I remember you stunning

can't erase

your green eyes ~

~~~~~

Do Libra's pause at

seventy

to balance out the scales ?

to gather up refining time

and smooth out all details ?

I'll never know

I'm Capricorn and

only fifty-two

all because of you

you gave me guts

you know

I remember you always

can't forget

how could I ~

Puberty again

12 O'clock on the Zodiac

gets a second

childhood

Great - if the first one

was rudely interrupted

with violence and

adult responsibilities

Newly-born near mid-nite

near half a century

and now puberty

once again

Oh Joy !

Oh Boy !

Awkwardly  mis -fitting

still

Not so willing

to shave off the edges

of the square peg

anymore

but forwardly looking

at all potential in what

is left of life

sans the strife

Goat - boating all the way

stepping surely into life's

water 

swimming  with ease

thru the uphill stream

eating tin cans of life's harshness

for lunch

Revitalized rather than repelled

empowered

in fierce determined

Capricorn style

to never again become

what I hate !

not this time

And practically speaking

emotional conservation

would be ideal

at this stage of development

were I not free

to feel

so I do

with wild adolescent abandon

able to name it now

not unsure of my

every utterance

but meaning all I say

Those who chose

to pick a word

a phrase

not contextual with the rest

believe they hold a truth

but

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE WRONG ?

I didn't get to finish my sentences

much less convey where

I'm coming from

I simply disagreed

Then they left me alone to

puberty in peace

Thank You !
