Aries: March 21 - April 20
There are days full of sunshine, and days seemingly tormented by dark storm clouds. Your soul needs a little of both on its journey.
Taurus: April 21 - May 21
When you find yourself stressing the little things, try finding even bigger things for which to be grateful for.
Gemini: May 22 - June 21
It's OK to stop walking sometimes, and take a little time off to just smell the flowers. After all, that's why they're there.
Cancer: June 22 - July 22
Stop making excuses for the journeys you haven't taken yet. Your heart is ready, take that leap of faith... and take a friend with you!
Leo: July 23 - August 22
Spend some quiet time with yourself to recharge your soul. You've been all over the world lately, it seems, but there's nothing wrong with enjoying simple moments of simple nothings.
Virgo: August 23 - September 22
Nature can be a powerful, and endless source of energy for you. Go dance in a rainstorm, or go play the drums. Do it naked. Reconnect with that primal force within you.
Libra: September 23 - October 23
Why do you fear experiencing joy? Why don't you think you deserve it? You are entitled to a beautiful, light-filled life. Create it. Enjoy it. Live it. Be it.
Scorpio: October 24 - November 22
Pain and heartache are not permanent parts of life, unless we choose never to release them.

The only true obstacle to your the dreams you posses is yourself and the limits you unjustly place upon your capabilities.

Aquarius: January 21 - February 19
It's fine to play the sidekick every once and awhile, but make sure you
get your fair share of the spotlight when the time comes!
Pisces: February 20 - March 20
Dreams are like beautiful rivers eventually leading to a great ocean of fulfillment, but you'll never get there if you don't start rowing.

Horoscopes: 08.19.13
Aries: March 21 - April 20
Your journey is mercurial, so you should be too. Don't live in the "you" you've always known. Redefine yourself every moment.
Taurus: April 21 - May 21
All your roads have had deep cracks in them, and your hardships have never been few... but you're still here. You are not broken.

There is a reason that a lion's family is called a "pride". Draw strength from those who have never failed you.
Virgo: August 23 - September 22
You have the power to accept or completely redefine your "now". Be fabulous. Be fierce. Be free. Be powerful. Be beautiful. Be now.
Libra: September 23 - October 23
If others can see you as a pillar of great strength and a lighthouse across a dark storm... why can't you?
Scorpio: October 24 - November 22
Life often leads us down dark roads so that we may learn to see the light when we think there is none about...
Sagittarius: November 23 - December 21
Fellow Sags, we often believe ourselves to be fountains of great insight and wisdom, so why do we never listen to ourselves?

Pisces: February 20 - March 20
You have to live your life to change your life. Wishes without action only remain wishes.

Red for Filth...
Alaska Thunderfuck in "Red for Filth" at the Laurie Beechman Theatre
August 10, 2013
I had no idea what to expect from Alaska Thunderfuck, but I figured that as long as I had a steady supply of apple martinis I'd have a blast regardless. Brighton and I had gotten tickets for her show, "Red For Filth", on this past Saturday in New York a few weeks back cause I really wanted to get a taste of all three of my favorite Rupaul's Drag Race comedy queens (Pandora Boxx and Jinkx Monsoon being my other two). I seriously did not know Alaska could sing! She was magnificent. Truly. From her crimson-chic sashay onto the stage to her bloodied tumble off of it... she was dangerous... flawless... and absolute genius.

New Moon
In astronomy, the New Moon is the first phase of the Moon, when it lies closest to the Sun in the sky as seen from the Earth. More precisely, it is the instant when the Moon and the Sun have the same elliptical longitude. The Moon is not normally visible at this time except when it is seen in silhouette during a solar eclipse.
The original meaning of the phrase New Moon was the first visible crescent of the Moon, immediately after conjunction with the Sun. This takes place over the western horizon in a brief period between sunset and moon-set, and therefore the precise time and even the date of the appearance of the New Moon (by this definition) will be influenced by the geographical location of the observer. The astronomical New Moon, sometimes known as the Dark Moon to avoid confusion, occurs at the moment of conjunction in elliptical longitude with the Sun, when the Moon is invisible from the Earth. This moment is unique and does not depend on location, and in certain circumstances actually coincides with a solar eclipse.
The New Moon in its original meaning of first crescent marks the beginning of the month in lunar calendars such as the Muslim calendar, and in lunisolar calendars such as the Hebrew calendar, Hindu calendars, and Buddhist calendar. But in the Chinese calendar, the beginning of the month is marked by the Dark Moon.
Although the new moon is typically depicted as a black circle, its actual phase is a very thin crescent, because the moon does not pass directly in front of the sun (except during an eclipse).
People generally wait for new moon to start new works as it is symbolic of new beginnings.

You are your worst critic and your best friend all wrapped into one. Find the middle road between them and serenity will surely follow.

Your integrity and strength of character easily draws others to your cause. Use your powers for good... or not.

Sometimes the journey chooses the tourist. Let yourself be pulled on random adventures. Your soul is hungry for something new.
Scorpio: October 24 - November 22
A scorpion's venom is deadly, but where's the fun in keeping everyone at tail's length?

Music and magic often go hand in hand. Make one, and perhaps you'll unexpectedly make a little of the other as well.
