Is it just me, or are things feeling a bit strange right now? I’ve had this conversation with quite a few people recently, and they all seem to agree something is different about this early season. It feels somewhat frantic.
Now, this is only my sixth year in town, so I know we should enlist the lifers to sort this out. Or hello, all you Geminis and Tauruses, can we get a vibe check?
Whatever this is, I’m here to justify it with some astrology. Possibly it’s about Pluto’s retrograde back into Capricorn, or Mercury’s transit into Gemini.
At a time like this, Aquarius, being the innovator of the horoscope, will be looking for a better way to do things. And Capricorn wants a structured approach. Either way, we may all be finding ourselves rethinking things.
I know you want to see every show and every art opening and hit every Tea. But summer is short, so we’ve got to prioritize. What is on the top of your list this year? Whatever it is, do that first. That’s what the stars say this week: eat dessert first.
