POETIC LICENSE: Horoscopes, Oct. 8-14

Critical Mass welcomes devoted poet/avid concert-goer/nerd-grrrl extraordinaire Jane Cassady to the fold; her weekly horoscopes will run in this space every Friday morning.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 21): Oh, darling. You need a good, bossy wife, someone to keep the fridge full of nutrients, let you spend what you need to, make you sleep regularly, to check if you're taking actual lunch breaks at work, which should preferably be spent reading. Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 22): Parents whose children have achieved YouTube fame should leave well enough alone. I don't need to see "Kittens Inspired By Kittens Girl Explains World War II" or "Deleted Scenes from Jessica's Affirmation." Let the kids go outside, already. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22): Make yourself a mix called "Positive Expressions of Negative Emotions." You may want to include "I Don't Love Anyone" by Belle and Sebastian, which includes: "I met a man today/And he told me something pretty strange/There's always somebody saying something/He said, 'The world was as soft as lace.'" Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20): At the end of this week's Mad Men, Dr. Faye has sold herself out for the good of Don's company. She lays her head on his shoulder and "Welcome to my World" plays over the credits. Influence is real. Avoid snuggling up to handsome shapeshifters. Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19): I'm bothered by the Lifetime-ization of this season's Project Runway — you can hardly tell its promos from Reviving Ophelia's. Let's leave aside the broken heroines and get back to the sewing, please. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): Rumi wrote: "Each has to enter the nest made by the other imperfect bird." Collect your twigs and ribbon, your delicate detritus, your molted feathers. Use your little mess to decorate someone's heart. Aries (March 21-April 18): It's GBLT History Month! Celebrate by visiting "It Gets Better," Dan Savage's YouTube channel where LGBT grown-ups post videos encouraging our youth to hang in there. The wife and I are gonna make a video for it, just as soon as we clean the house. Taurus (April 19-May 18): In the immortal words of Tracy Jordan: "I lost my mood ring and I don't know how I feel about it." Gemini (May 19-June 21): I went and visited my childhood home last week. The latest owners had fixed it up so nice and cheerful. It was freshly painted and expanded, and they added more trees, a pond, and a carriage house — fancy! Seeing it that way made my soul feel refurbished. Cancer (June 22-July 23): See how many versions of "I Can't Stand the Rain" you can find. I think you'll discover that not only are you super fly, but you are, in fact, super duper fly. Leo (July 24-Aug. 23): The radio edit of Cee Lo Green's "Fuck You" sounds really boring. While redubbers-of-'80s-movies-for-TV may disagree, "Forget" is not a synonym for "Fuck." Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23): I'm having trouble thinking up any slogans to put on a placard for my trip down to Jon Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity — I think maybe that's because I am immoderate. Oh well, emotional lefties change the world all the time for the better.
