The Dawning of Aquarius!

...
I think today is the first day of Aquarius, that astrological sign, highly romanticized by the musical Hair and the subsequent hit by The Fifth Dimension of the same song from the same musical. Why is it that I have so many good friends who are Aquarians? Is it that Aquarians and Librans are both air signs? Maybe. I like air. Is it because this time period is about 9 months from MayDay--which is just so fresh and left of center, involving communists wrapping poles with gaily colored thingies? I don't know, Babs, but I do know this...your uvula is on the fritz. It would behoove ya to care for your uvula!

So, in the spirit of welcoming all the great birthdays in our very near future, Aquarians, here is your Freewill Astrology horoscope for the week beginning the 21st of January!

(Be warned it involves scary things like a Jonas Brother, unripe states, and abstinance until marriage!)

AQUARIUS:

One of the musical Jonas Brothers got married last month. Up until then, 22-year old Kevin Jonas was a virgin, having long ago pledged himself to abstinence until his wedding day. At Huffingtonpost.com, humorist Andy Borowitz reported that when Jonas and his bride returned from their honeymoon, he had some shocking news. "To be honest, sex was not worth the wait," Borowitz quoted Jonas as saying. "After we did it, I was kind of like, that's it?" I haven't been able to verify that Jonas actually said what Borowitz claims, but if it's true, I must protest. How could Jonas reach such a definitive conclusion based on so little experience? Wouldn't it be wise to consider the possibility that over time he might uncover secrets and plumb mysteries that are unknown to him in his unripe state? Learn from his apparent mistake, Aquarius. In the coming weeks, cultivate a humble, innocent, curious attitude not just about sex, but about everything.

Cue the Peggy Lee:

Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friend, then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all
there is.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AQUARIANS!

cheers!
