February ~ 2002

Brought to you in pieces and parts by the Coconut Joe Publishing Co.


In the song “Obvious Child” by that brilliant musician Paul Simon, he so eloquently asks, “Why deny the obvious, child?” Unfortunately, in a world of so many possibilities, the frightening truth is that nothing is obvious – EVER! That’s why the Madame is here, using her vast understanding of the cosmos to bring you a clear picture of what is in store for you. The inherently wise people in this world already accept that astrology is a science far above medicine, physics and chemistry and could even someday surpass marine biology in importance as well. So don’t underestimate this priceless gift that the Madame brings to you as a public service.

Here are the Madame’s observations for this month:


Aries (March 21-April 19) Oncoming driver blinking his headlights could be trying to tell you that either your own headlights aren’t on or there is a speed trap ahead. The “what’s under there?” gag from second grade is a surprise hit with the folks gathered around the coffee maker.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Amorous sentiments are in the air; sweets and greeting cards will be widely available for purchase if you choose to join in the seemingly universal celebration. But here’s the kicker: You will be seeing red.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) Try to convince friends that the title of the Nazareth song is "Heir of the Dog." If they challenge you on this, construct an argument from the words of the chorus, "Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch."

Cancer (June 22-July 22) Special sales will be associated with a day of commemoration for all those who have ascended to the Oval Office. Sublimely try to determine which co-worker has recently applied pungent cream for soothing muscle soreness.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Brainstorming could produce some fresh ideas. Furry creature from the rodent family is sought for important role in predicting near future’s meteorological patterns. You could be the one to put the “fun” into funeral.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) These letters could figure prominently into your big picture: V, I, R, G and O. If you are a famous historian, freely borrow passages from colleagues’ work without properly attributing the material. Credit card number is needed for online purchase.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You will see five rings, each a different color, interconnected in a design showing three in a top row and two in a bottom row. Where there’s a will, there’s a person who knows he is going to croak someday.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Someone will "rip" someone else "a new one." Automobile’s value follows a steady pattern of depreciation. Double exclamation marks liven up your writing!! Tell that special somebody that they are blocking your view of the TV.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The date dial on analog wristwatch may require some adjusting at the end of this month. Hangnail could be your secret weapon in a thumb-wrestling match. Stress provides ammunition your digestive needs to create ulcers.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Extinction remains the less preferable option for endangered species. Decline several invitations to enjoy great savings on calling plans in which you are not already enrolled. Pull my finger.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 16) The word "rhinoplasty" is an inadequate description of the sum of all your fears. Try being a part of the problem instead of part of the solution. Local athlete may be touted as the next big name in the sporting world.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, but you're not doing your teeth any favors if you know what I mean. The numbers 4 and 0 loom large. You aren’t likely to encounter belly dancers, stray giraffes or falling pianos any time soon.
