So what if you woke up the

Scorpio
The stars tell me that you
have been foolhardy this
weekend while celebrating
St. Patrick’s Day and that you
will continue to act like an
idiot for the next few months,
but take comfort, they say
that love will do that to you
(just don’t get too carried
away).

Taurus

They're always after me lucky
charms (and yours too)!

Gemini
By today the idea of feahg a
leprechaun tattoo has lost it’s
novelty, but look on the bright
side, at least you didn’t end
up with one of Toucan Sam.
On a side note, you should
avoid all tropical luaus for the
next three years.

Sagittarius

Over the weekend a goblin
will have taken over the
processes within your com-
puter and will be quickly eat-
ing all the files that you hold
dearest. The only thing to do
is to go out and find a fairy or
a leprachaun to help you get
it out before it does any more
damage.

Cancer
The Irish accent was cute on
St. Patrick’s day, but if you
don’t drop it soon, someone
will drop kick you into next
week. I’m not kidding, it’s
really annoying.

Get down off your high horse
and come in out of the rain.
Your Irish stubborness witll
get you seriously injured one
of these days.

Leo

The excuse that you've
“kissed the Blarney Stone”
isn’t going to hold up any
longer. You’re going to have
to confess and tell the truth at
some point. Especially since
you lie like a rug.

Remember, when you go out
to spend the pot of gold you
found on St. Patrick’s Day, be
careful. Don’t go waving it
around. | see muggers,
thieves, and all those people
you owe money to in your
future.

Virgo
Be mindful of the wee folk
this week, as they are still in
high spirits from St. Patrick’s
Day. They may just mistake
you for one of them and take
you away (not that it wouldn't
be nice).

Pisces
Ever since you slipped and
hit your head on St. Patrick’s
Day you have been seeing
leprachauns floating through
the air. This will not clear up
until you make peace with
the weefolk.

Stand up for what you believe
in this week. Make your
beliefs heard. Even if it

is just that you believe there
