It's The Full Moon - Pink Moon 2019
Dear seekers after truth,
This week, as Notre Dame smoldered, astrologists everywhere were clapping our hands to our forehead.
We should have seen it coming!
Nostradamus tried to warn us over 500 years ago. Ever since Monday’s tragedy, one of his quatrains has been feverishly circulating the internet:
“The head of Aries, Jupiter and Saturn
God External, what changes can be expected?
Following a long century, evil will return
France and Italy, what emotions will you undergo?”
How much clearer could the guy have been?
I take full (if not financial) responsibility for this fire.
At least the stone zodiac adorning the Western façade survived the blaze.
Anyways, here we go:
HOROSCOPES
Aries
An antiquing trip ends with you hanging by your fingernails from a rocky ledge in Maine.
Taurus
A foul ball at Fenway tests your relationship.
Gemini
Your addiction to open houses finally tips into full-on breaking and entering.
Cancer
This month, somehow, some way, you will pet a live goat.
Leo
Retracing your steps all afternoon, you still won’t recover your lost sunglasses, but the universe will reimburse you with a celebrity sighting—think Laurie Metcalf.
Virgo
You take several deep, calming breaths before throwing your work computer through a plate glass window.
Libra
You’ve always found the sound of steam escaping an iron to be oddly comforting, but that will change forever after this month’s “accident.”
Scorpio
A pet psychic will prove to be worth every penny.
Sagittarius
Who knew Easter chocolates could make a hangover so much worse?
Capricorn
The Game of Thrones character you most love, the one you’ve long believed would end up on the Iron Throne, is mercilessly slaughtered before your very eyes.
Aquarius
Seriously, get that toe looked at.
Pisces
A scuffle at a farmer's market lands you before an angry judge who has to decide whether a carrot is a deadly weapon. There simply is no precedent.
WRITING NEWS
This month I was interviewed about Areas of Fog on WVIA’s ArtScene. The interview was bittersweet—it marks the very end of my first book’s prolonged promotional life. From here on out, readers will discover the book by chance—or not. It’s out of my hands.
More radio stuff coming in the near future…
