CAPRICORN
Seduction, fantasy, illusion:
what do these bestow?
Not one link of sausage,
and hunger grows.

AQUARIUS
You sit and rue what you might have been:
a grandee paid tribute with drums and brasses.
Yet still you insist that women were born
to say "no" with their mouths but "yes" with their asses.

PISCES
Confusion yields to pleasure,
and you'll not rest one moment,
for what was once your torment
is now your greatest treasure!

ARIES
What good is a match without a flame?
Yet it often transpires
that it takes four or five strikes
to light a fire.

TAURUS
Oh florid spring! All creatures join in celebration!
But don't neglect, my sweet, to guard your reputation!

GEMINI
Your fancy takes flight—how high! how fleet!
A good time to air the mattress and wash the sheets!

CANCER
Everything beckons, both pain and tenderness;
hope flowers and you forget which way is which,
lost in an overpowering sweetness,
or in the scratching of a nagging itch.

LEO
"I've waited for you all my life," you'll hear the murmur
and your loins will tremble under tender touches.
As it now is, you'll wish it might always be.
In a single moment, the weight of time is lifted;
in the next, the earth, the sun, the sea.

VIRGO
This quarter you'll be master of the reign of passion.
Mars will shine most hotly in your house, after his fashion.

LIBRA
Talent recognized! The resolution of a nagging doubt!
To that which has no meaning:
give it comma, period, rest.
But to that which might have been:
give it whatever you deem best.

SCORPIO
Though Destiny be mocked, one should always strive
to scale the highest mount.
It takes movement, focus, application,
and a hale and hearty bank account.

SAGITTARIUS
Don't be disconsolate, let your eyes shine!
Your lips will taste the sweetest honey in due time.
There will be change and growth,
and in an instant you'll grasp firmly what you desire most!
