ARIES (March 21-April 19): Try to ignore what's going on around you; focus on travel, having fun, love, and adventure. A change is heading your way, so follow your heart now, while you still have the chance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can make some important changes at home that will help you feel more comfortable and will free up some of your time. An older friend or relative will help you make a decision. You can make a career change or just move from one job to another.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Love may be able to conquer all, but make sure you take care of business first. Don't share accounts or mix money and assets with someone just because you are head-over-heels in love. A serious development will change the way you view your current situation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do something nice for the people to whom you owe emotional support. An older friend or relative will give you something to help you out. Discussions about property renovations or even redecorating can result in a difference of opinion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Money is likely to come to you from a very unusual source. You can make an interesting observation regarding a product or service that would be helpful for families. A new direction will give you greater freedom.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You'll be intrigued by someone you meet while helping others, attending an event, or getting involved in a networking/dating service. Don't spend too much on your home or family. Unnecessary purchases will leave you short of cash.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don't let love stand in the way of a good career decision. You can make a change that will guarantee success by taking a course, apprenticeship, or expanding the knowledge you already have. Don't force your will on friends or family.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An opportunity is available, but if you hesitate, you may miss out. Take the trip to see someone face-to-face if you have something important to share. It will be worth your while to push your ideas, projects, or anything else you want to do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A change in your luck, finances, a settlement, or a legal matter looks positive. You can move forward with some of your plans without worrying about depending on too many other people to help you. Love is reaching new heights.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Everything is looking favorable. You are in the driver's seat and should remain there as long as you don't let an emotional issue with a partner stand in the way or cloud your vision.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Think more about your future and what you can do to put yourself in a more entrepreneurial position. Finding something useful to the average person you can do on the side will take off. Set a new trend, or offer a service.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A chance to have some fun, meet new people, or get together with someone you've been eyeing for some time is in the stars. Take a unique approach to life, love, and the things you like to do. You will attract someone who will help you achieve your goals.

Jesuses (Jesi?) on permanent display in my parents' house

by Andrew Juhl


• No. 1, on a plastic crucifix. This is supposed to look wooden and "primitive," taking after some African art traditions. My parents don't actually like African art, but it's a crucifix, and that's what counts.

• No. 2, in a framed postcard depicting "Laughing Jesus." In reality, it looks more like J.C. is belting out "MacArthur Park" in a tulip patch.

• No. 3, in the black-and-white drawing titled "Compassion." Jesus is crying in this picture but still looks pretty stern, like somebody just told him about Pearl Harbor, so he's sad … yet determined to seek bloody vengeance. (Note: Jesus' actual views on war may differ.)

• No. 4, on a metal crucifix in the hallway. It's thoroughly unremarkable, except … no, wait, it's got … nope, sorry; thoroughly unremarkable.

• No. 5, on another plastic crucifix. This 'fix is designed to look like ivory and is trimmed with "gold," because if Christ taught us anything, it's that appearance is everything.

• No. 6, in an old-school prayer card. This particular Jesus is praying while resting his hands on the world's smallest mesa. He may very well be praying for a slightly bigger mesa.

• No. 7 (?), in a statue in the living room. It could be Jesus, but it could also any number of other bearded, long-haired Biblical dudes. There ought to be conventions to tell them apart: St. Peter is always blond, St. Matthew always has a Fu Manchu, etc.
