Madame Deevine apologizes profusely to the throngs of readers who wondered why her update is so late this month, but she has been busy for the last two weeks stewing her famous Southwest Tomato Pepper Hot Sauce in the kitchen of her estate in Ecton, Calif. Her garden yield has been amazing considering this year’s drought conditions, but unfortunately she cannot accept any new customer orders at this time. On a brighter note, her predictions for this month are quite fresh and quite free. And her mailbox remains open for analysis of your dreams by writing to madamedeevine@aol.com.

Here are the Madame’s observations for this month:


Aries (March 21-April 19) You are not convinced of all the merits of going to war. Thought that slipped your mind remains irretrievable until such time as something triggers your memory. It is mentioned that many movies in the last 7 or 8 years contain the word “American,” and you try to recall how many of those titles are familiar.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Notice a greater prevalence of commercials and sitcoms unafraid to resort to the old “dog humping the person’s leg” sight gag. Do not pal around with huge celebrities.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) Temptation to strike enemy while their back is turned is halted by your recognition that such would be the behavior of a cowardly ratfink. Go ahead and slap them in the face while they are looking, and then get the hell out of there if they are physically superior.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) Disagreement brings forth some opposing views. A delicate balancing act may involve your checkbook. Leo can’t help but look up here because a) he saw the name and type and was so drawn; b) he thinks everybody else’s horoscope is his business too.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Devious pop-up ad leads to a chain unsought banner messages while browsing online. Return of a warm, sunny string of days after a much cooler period is likely referred to by some as an “Indian Summer.”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Just when you think you’ve shaken loose your ties to the Mafia, they keep pulling you back in. Cast changes on late Saturday night ensemble shows take some getting used to.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) It turns out that Eddie Money is not necessarily your all-time favorite recording artist. A great burden is lifted by a crane involved in the construction of a new downtown building.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Sigh.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Resurgence of “Pong” is not to be realized in the crowded and ever-growing video game market. Your random act of kindness goes virtually unnoticed. What, did you expect to be rewarded with a cookie or something?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Supervisor may not immediately recognize the humor or the cultural reference when you pull your shirt up over your head and put your hands in the air and announce “I am the Great Cornhulio, I need T.P. for my bunghole.”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 16) Referee signals for the chains to determine whether ball has advanced far enough forward for the “first down.” Observe that there is very little difference between Nestle’s Crunch bar and Hershey’s Krackel.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Baseball team once slated to be victimized by league contraction makes a feisty case for its continued existence with an aggressive stretch into the postseason.  Do not take Bon Jovi so literally, you really DON’T give love a bad name – it’s just that sometimes you can act like a weenie. 

Madame's Mailbag

Dear Madame,

It's night. crickets are singing their disturbing evening lullaby. Two horses approach from the north (I can tell by the moss on the side of my face). One horse carries a mouse in a velvet cape, who is singing a Madonna medley, and the other horse is riderless, but occasionally rises up on hind legs, then bends to one knee exclaiming "bella noche", then bowing deeply, revealing a bald or maybe shaven spot, where in blue sharpie marker is scrawled "Who hemmed the hee haw?"

What is this dream telling me?

Signed:

Can't see the Forest through the Horses

Dear Forest Stumped,

Most times, dreams are not what they seem. This is one of those times, though, when dreams are nearly what they seem. The key words here are “Hee Haw” and the answer to the Sharpie-scrawled riddle is not, as you’d expect, Minnie Pearl, but rather, Catherine Bach, aka Daisy Duke of “Dukes of Hazzard” fame. For you see, many fans of that show often wished the younger, perkier Bach would have crossed over to “Hee Haw,” and some are quite certain that the show would still live on to this day if said move had been made. There was, however, no hope for the “Dukes” once Bo and Luke left and those other stand-in cousins arrived. Bach, therefore, “hemmed” Hee-Haw’s fate by failing to join the show. The other imagery you described is merely the subliminal resurfacing of your likely past readership of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy along with disturbing visual cross-references of various Disney flicks and the amazing Madonna-Aidan Quinn-Rosanna Arquette film “Desperately Seeking Susan.” As for “bella noche,” that simply conjures up your memory of a date with amazing potential a long time ago at a wonderful Italian restaurant. And you’re wondering, why didn’t anything ever come of that relationship? The mossy face gives away the answer: your date thought you smelled like pee that night, when in fact it was their own sweaty shoes that reeked all along.

Madame believes she hit the nail right on the head once again, did she not, Stumpy?
