ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’ve been a big fan of yours since the summer of ’82. My college buddies and I used to sit in the cafeteria and read your column to one another. When you wrote extended birthday horoscopes, we would cut them out on our birthdays and put them in our wallets. Once ever few months, we’d pull them out and consider how accurate you’d been. You were always very accurate, and I have many stories about how the columns came true. The one I love telling the most is the day when I was feeling blue, and you said, "Scorpios could use some whoopee cushion therapy." I had never seen anyone use that term in a horoscope before. I began chuckling and soon realized you were right. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that while many horoscopes show me the forest, I count on you to show me the trees! So, a Scorpio born on Nov. 1, 1962, says thank you very much for the guidance you’ve given me and my friends over the years!"
You’re welcome, but the pleasure has been mine. By the way, Scorpios born in your year are headed for a fertile summer, so whether it’s children, artistic work or brainchildren such as an invention or novel, June will start the birth process. Good luck with your endeavors.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Kurt Russell could be the toast of the Sundance Film Festival in 2003 if he takes an opportunity to helm an indie vehicle that’s practically custom-made for him. He’ll investigate paths that are far from mainstream. He might do well to hang out more with Ed Burns or the Wilson brothers, Owen and Luke. With Mercury, Venus and Mars traveling in Aries, he will be driven to win. His success stories will be a blast to listen to.
