(Scene: a poorly lit Mexican bar. A telenovela plays on the television screen but no one is watching, which is just as well because it is inaudible over the accordion and tuba music playing out of the speakers on the ceiling. The only customers are the SUN, MOON, and MERCURY, who sit at a relatively…

This week’s horoscope is going to be just a little bit different from the usual. Normally I would be breaking down the effects of the upcoming week’s transits for everyone, and sorting them by Sun Sign.
