August 25, 2004 | Issue 40•34

Aries March 21 - April 19

Your love is dead, but dead love is not like a dead person. All the car batteries, radioactive injections, and monkey extract in the world won't bring it back.

Taurus April 20 - May 20

Certain factors beyond your control—albeit not beyond your comprehension—will prevent you from being initiated into the Sapphic mysteries.

Gemini May 21 - June 21

You always thought ghosts could fly, walk through walls, and commune with those yet living, but you'll just have to be content with knocking over the occasional teacup.

Cancer June 22 - July 22

You've always considered yourself something of a shutterbug, but that's certainly not what the Interpol agents who confiscate your hard drive will call you.

Leo July 23 - August 22

They say beggars can't be choosers, but to hell with them—you don't feel like going to the soup kitchen.

Virgo August 23 - September 22

You really shouldn't let the weather get you down—unless, of course, you call a rain of house-sized asteroids "weather."

Libra September 23 - October 23

People are fond of saying that teaching a pig to sing will just waste your time and annoy the pig, once again undervaluing the importance of education.

Scorpio October 24 - November 21

Your "nationwide rollout" of a new women's razor will make headlines, but it certainly won't be in the business section.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21

Brave men and women of the revolution will sacrifice their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to free you from your chains, but their music really sucks.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19

There may not even be an NHL season this year, so it won't make a ripple when you nearly kill a guy with a hockey stick.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

They say poetry is the unwatered wine of life, but regular old watered wine has always been good enough for you.

Pisces February 19 - March 20

The stars usually concern themselves with your future, but they just wanted to remind you that at this time last year, you were "very seriously" considering law school.
