So what if you woke up the day after St. Patrick’s Day and your hair was green (all over your body). The dye isn’t that permanent, you'll just have to shave yourself bald and wait for it all to come back.

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.

Capricorn .

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.

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.

Libra

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