AstroDyke April 2007 horoscope

Herscope_cover How foolish will we be this April? Three “outer” planets retrograde and send us into various tizzies. But take heart; the fates find ways to lead us to where we need to be once the dust settles. Keep your feet on the ground and your head above the fray, if you can.

ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Lambda Rams lose their heart in a faraway place this April. You take a chance on someone you don’t know well or fall head over heels for an exotic stranger. Either can change the course of your life in unintended ways. If you keep your wits about you, it might wind up to be just another breezy (or is it blowsy) affair that tousles your locks but keeps your head attached.

TAURUS   (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
April showers keep sapphic Bulls closer to home than usual. Make up an excuse to hang around the house, kick up your feet and just relax. But don’t become so sedate that you spend hours in front of the tube vegetating. Lovergrrls and gal pals yearn for a bit of your company (among other things). Plan a few soirees and festivities that plant you in the epicenter of the party plot.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Girl-girl Twins usually know just what to say to get what they want.  Don’t be surprised if you find yourself searching for the right words to fully express the range of your zesty desires this April. Relationships need some sprucing up. Instead of hearing yourself talk, plan a romantic getaway that says it all. Partners need more than a stale wind to fill their sails.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Time is money this April so don’t waste excess energy on wasteful pastimes. If your budget is tight, try to think of profitable alternatives. If you are a bit more flush than usual, think of new ways to bake your dough and let it rise. Lesbian Crabs are constant worriers. Put aside your fears and forge ahead. Focus and prepare to act in May to become well endowed.

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Life may be a series of false starts this April. You are raring to go, go, go but plans may have to be put on hold. Poor Proud Lionesses want to be recognized for the artistic geniuses they are (or think they are...) but the jaded world is asleep. So what? Dance your dance, play your music, be your own supporter and the  world will eventually catch up to you. And then what??

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Queer Virgin gals pine for peace and quiet but have trouble finding it this April. No sooner do they settle in for a comfortable evening at home than the immediate neighborhood comes aknocking. Why ask why? Enjoy the convivial company. There will be someone in particular who will pique your interest, among other things. Be sure to practice safe piquing.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Lesbian Libras with something to say should say it proud and queer this April. You are encouraged to keep certain things in the background. You will be told that the frank and honest way will not get you what you want. “They” will tell you that it is easier to attract more flies with honey than with vinegar. But do you really want to attract all those flies...?

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Buff your corporate star this April and don’t succumb to the temptation to take the easy route to success. The fates will not allow slackers to glide by on oily charm. Proud Scorps who delegate the garbage tasks to underlings face a revolution but those who have put in the sweat equity reap the accolades and financial gains. Are you a diva or a doer? 

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Prioritize your projects this April. Some are time wasters. Yet, life presents you with such a great array of possibilities that it is hard for you to choose. Amazon Archers improve their chances for success by getting out and expanding their current circle of contacts. Dive into a few new social pools and see who swims by. Lets hope its not another worm on a hook.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Rather than sit home alone and count your money, why not share your goodies with a certain goodie or two this April? Someone Out there may capture your heart. Pink Caps could wind up falling in love with love and be swept off their feet. Assorted wilde passions could eventually cost much more than you think. But what a way to go!

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Ornery Aqueerian gals create conflicts between pals and partners this April if they are not careful. Demands from both sides  encourage you to sit on the fence. Speak honestly, passionately and from the heart might help overcome any hurt feelings this April. You want what you want and be adored for who you are but reality may bite. Will you bite back or chew it for a while?

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Guppies would rather sit and daydream or meditate or even medicate. Actually they would really prefer to do anything else beside putting their nose to the grindstone at work this April. Don’t be lazy. Get the job done and don't fall into temptation. Hard work and perseverance are rewarded. At least that is what I am led to believe.

Rainbow Clouds!

Rainbowfire_big

I have been told that these Rainbow Clouds are very rare and since I have never seen them, I am inclined to agree. Apparantly this photo was taken on the Idaho / Washington border (not sure exactly when but probably in the last couple of months) and lasted about an hour. Clouds have to be cirrus, at least 20k feet in  altitude, with just the right amount of ice crystals and the sun has to hit the clouds at precisely 58  degrees.

They are circumhorizontal arcs according to National Geographic News.

I wonder if this is a Proud message from the Heavens or someone with a good grasp of photoshop ....?

Stories for Enlightened Parents

Ryanbook It seems that kids can watch the same movie over and over and listen to the same bedtime story night after night -- they never tire of the repetition, although it may make you want to strangle yourself into a catatonic state.

Movies aren't quite so problematic because by the age of two any child knows how to pop in a DVD and press "play" and you can leave them on their own to watch it ad infinitum. Stories in books have to be read and most adults have had enough by the third reading, even when it is a great story like And Tango Makes Three (which I love).

So if your selection of diversity-friendly books needs to be replenished you will be thrilled to learn about Nickname Press, a Canadian independent publisher dedicated to publishing books that embrace open-minded, diversity-friendly subjects such as gay and lesbian parenting, surrogacy, adoption and bi-racial families. They recently released their first publications which include: "Ryan's Mom is Tall," a lesbian-positive story, and "Monicka's Papa is Tall," a gay-positive story, both suitable for ages 3-6. Both books are beautifully illustrated and are available at their online bookstore. We can only hope that they have many more books in the pipeline . . .

Oh, and speaking of books, keep in mind my book (yes, another shameless plug): “HerScopes; A Guide To Astrology For Lesbians” it's an international sensation but not appropriate for children. Buy it at Amazon and you'll have something to read after you get the little ones to sleep. Read it ad infinitum and consult it often.

Gay Spray: A new chemical weapon?

I'd have to file this one under "truth is stranger than fiction." 

I read in PinkNews and Servicemembers Legal Defense Network that in 1994 the US Air Force proposed developing a gay conversion chemical weapon. This non-lethal chemical was supposed to cause homosexual behavior that they assumed would adversely affect discipline and morale in enemy ranks. This also implies that gay opponents are somehow less effective in combat.

While the Pentagon confirmed the report they insist the proposal was never implemented. Remember folks, this is from the same government who paid and sponsored a study on cow farts.
