I’ve got so many things I want to say but I can’t seem to find the words so I’ll be relying on those of others.
We must never stop reaching for each other, he told me once. And we never have. No matter how sad or tired or frustrated or anxious or scared or angry or despairing, I have reached for him, as he has for me. Compliments of navel gazes.
You know that dreamy look of deep, soulful love you’ve sometimes seen in the eyes of another as they gazed into your own, dara?
Expect a lot more of it. Compliments of The Universe.

Gemini:
Even if (for some baffling reason) you aren’t able to make it past Monday night’s (May 19) full moon without making a fool of yourself, there’s still no need to be concerned. Over the course of the week, both the Sun and Venus will move into your sign, Gemini… giving you a decisive advantage when it comes to turning over a new page in the story, holding their interest, and/or furnishing them with whatever persona you feel would best suit their tastes. As for any potentially stressful topics you might be cornered into dealing with, you should feel free to use your humor to tread delicately—both acknowledging the ‘something’ that’s there and showing ’em you’re willing to let it all go, with a big relief-filled laugh at your own fumbles or ineptitudes. Likewise, with that smile planted firmly on your face, you’ll be able to playfully push people’s buttons without suffering any unfortunate payback. While you may faintly detect a countercurrent in the air, pulling certain people’s moods down into heavier territory (though it’s not really necessary to dwell on every possible angle of every single issue, is it?), you’ve got enough self-possessed desire for keeping things entertaining to compensate. When in doubt, crack another stupid joke.
Saggitarius:
In considering your week overall, Sagittarius, I’m getting the sense that you’re due to tie up some loose ends and clear off your plate (or at least a nice portion of it)… so that you can, once again, make yourself available for some meaningful one-on-one exchanges with the guy(s) or girl(s) for whom you’re holding a soft spot in your heart. You’ve been so damned good at looking after all your worldly worries lately, you’ve earned a few moments of leaving ’em all behind. Plus, your recent hoop-jumping and task-mastering has probably kept you too busy for much quality interpersonal time. Adopt this horoscope to refer to your spouse or boy/girlfriend, your best pal, your creative muse or anybody who usually expects a sizable chunk of your attention but hasn’t been receiving his/her typical share. Now, you have a brief opening in which to create more space for that special individual (or two, maybe three). For this span of precious pause, all that’s important is appreciating each other while you’re together. Everything else will handle itself, sooner or later. And in case you got temporarily confused, let me be clear: This is not an obligation, but pure joy.
Free Will:
Gemini:
Giuseppe Rebaudi and Silvie Basain started dating in 1952. This year they finally decided to take the next step. After a 56-year courtship, the 101-year-old Italian man wed his 98-year-old girlfriend. I predict that a comparable event will bless your love life in the second half of 2008, Gemini. Some romantic development that has been in the works for a long time will finally ripen into its full expression. Expect news about this soon.
Saggitarius:
During America’s first war on Iraq in 1991, I prophesied that one day there’d be a Disneyland in Baghdad. It was a surrealistically sardonic send-up of my native country’s imperialism. But now, 17 years later, my absurd prediction is coming true. The same American company that designed the original Disneyland has announced plans to build the Baghdad Zoo and Entertainment Experience. If workers survive bombing, looting, and sniper fire, the first part of the 50-acre amusement park will open this year. While I question whether building a monument to fun is a good idea in an actual war zone, it’s an excellent metaphor for you to apply to your personal life. Even if you can’t extinguish a certain conflict that has been raging, try to introduce a spirit of play into the proceedings.
