Stress may build up on the job, but the secret is to let Pluto do with you what it will. It can lead you to an entirely new line of work. lEO (July 24 - Aug. 23) If fun takes on an in- tense, over-the-edge immediacy, blame pluto in Sag. Proud Lions are not content to simply sidle up to the nearest T bar and snowplow down the bunny slope. Fun has to entail a helicopter drop down some ravine where they'll find you during the spring thaw (or maybe not ... ) Make good useof this burst of creativity through 1997, but don't cut off an ear to show your devotion. VIRGO(Aug. 24 - Sept. 23) Have an urge to reliveyour childhood? No, but Pluto in Sag will drag you there anyway. (So why not go in drag?) Gay Virgins may face a power strugglewith parents, but this will prove to be cathartic and affirming. You simply can- not go on compromising your life because of Mom and Dad. Look deep down into your heart and soul and you'll realize that personal happiness is an all-out imperative. LIBRA(Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) Pluto in Sagit- tariusforces you to examine how you com- illl municate with others this year. Diplomatic queer Libras find that their words can move mountains, so be prepared to have a mountain move on top of you. On the bright side, this is the perfect time to raise the rainbow banner high and proclaim our freedom. As long as you're moving moun- tains,move one onto Washington. SCORPIO(Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Even the most pernicious, proud Scorps will see their loot wrenched from their grasping hands this yearas Pluto in Sag runs amok with their fi- nances.Maybe it's a good thing; you don't want to be accused of worshiping the almightydollar at the expense of your self- esteem (or do you ... ?). 1997 will be re- membered as the year that you get your valuesin the proper priority. SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 23 - Dec. 22) Expect a complete rebirth and regeneration with Plutotransiting your own sign. Gay Archers canexperience a change of personality or appearance and feel the lift of total free- dom and affirmation during this period. If there was ever a time to step out and be Yourself,this is it. Anyway, Pluto can't stand the hidden or repressed; you'll be shoved Outof that closet ready or not!
