KEEP REFRIGERATED
Star Gays
by Mania Proba
May 15-31
There are messages out that May 23rd could be a
day of catastrophic events, particularly in California.
Astrologically, the Quarter Moon opposes the Sun as
the Moon enters Virgo, an earth sign. Venus goes
retrograde that day as well. Proba
predicts a later happening.
GEMINI You may find it difficult
to express those enthusiastic
intellectual yearnings you feel after the
22nd because four planets are retrograde. Mars in
Pisces doesn't help, either. This is a time for being
laid-back - trv indulging in sexual fantasies.
CANCER The Sun in your 12th
house after the 22nd suggests that
you may be involved in secret
personal matters, especially on the
29th. Don't kiss and tell.
LEO Communicate with your friends
and neighbors after the 21st, but don't
expect openness. The Moon stays in
your sign for parts of four days this
period, so take it easy on yourself
from the 20th through the 23rd.
VIRGO After the 21st, the Sun
shines on your popularity and
career. Be very careful on the 23rd
when Quarter Moon in Virgo with
five planets retrograde suggests you
talk things over before acting. Above
all, do not be aggressive.
LIBRA On the 26th and 27th your
thoughts may turn to the spiritual.
With Uranus moving retrograde into
Sagittarius, liberation from old ways
is on your mind. Share your
inspiration with a Gemini.
SCORPIO The 31st is not a good
day for you for anything but
transplanting chrysanthemums
(Jupiter's flower). The Sun in Gemini
after the 21st points you toward joint
money concerns - a Leo could be prominent here.
SAGITTARIUS Uranus continues
retrograde and moves into your sign
on the 27th. With Venus in
opposition, do not do anything
romantic with a Gemini. Full Moon
in Sagittarius on the 31st turns your fire energy
inward-enjoy.
CAPRICORN Until the 27th, three
planets retrograde in your sign
cause seeminly endless delays and
maze-like procedures from external
sources. Venus direct in Cancer until
the 22nd suggests you establish a loving,
understanding relationship with your
mate.
AQUARIUS ItU be confusing,
but after the 22nd, you should find
a successful romantic attachment Be
loving and patient with a young person after 8 p.m.
on the 25th.
PISCES After the 22nd, beware of
coming on too strong as Mars enters
your first house. On the other hand,
take advantage of the opportunity to
express your hidden feelings as the Moon is in
Scorpio on the 29th.
ARIES Take care of legal and
Pavel matters on the 27th. If you
wait till the 31 st, you’ll only go in
circles - all the wrong circles. The
Sun suggests educational ventures after the 22nd
would be interesting with a Gemini.
TAURUS Mars makes you want
to be in groups after the 22nd, but
watch your health during this period.
An alliance (or dalliance) with a Cancer
on the 19th needs to be handled with tact and
patience.
Dear Nadisa
Dear Nadisa;
lam dating a woman who is an Orthodox Jew. Iam not
a Jew and our relationship is experiencing difficulties
because of cultural differences. I love her and am willing to
do anything necessary to be a part other life. WhatcanI
do?
The first step you cm take is to understand that her
religious devotion is a prescribed way of life that may not
permit compromise. You must respect her obligations and
rituals even to the point of your own exclusion. It may help
you to do some reading. Try Nice Jewish Girls-A Lesbian
Anthology by Evelyn Torton Beck; The Tribe ofDina-A
Jewish Women's Anthology by Melanie Kaye Kantrowitz
and Irena Klepfisz; A New Haggadah: A Jewish lesbian
Seder by a woman with the last name of Stein; Triangles
(fiction) by Ruth Geller; Purim Megillah and A Jewish
Lesbian Chanukah, both by Stein
Cultural dissimilarities do not have to be an obstacle to
understanding another person; however, they do indeed
pose a challenge for growth. You failed to specify what in
particular is creating a problem. Cultural influences cm
determine not only the flavor of one's meal and the way one
makes love, but one’s sense of personal style. The whole
point is to have the patience to TALK THROUGH your
differences. Learn as much as you cm about the woman
you are dating and share as much as you cm about
yourself with her.
If your dissimilarities are such that you find them
insurmountable, I see no reason to date her any further.
Dear Nadisa;
My girlfriend wears a scent that I find, well, nauseating.
How can I break the news to her?
I am assuming you are referring to a cologne, an
essence or oil that your gb friend wears. I am also hoping
it is not her ONLY scent or her FAVORITE scent of all
time. For now, let's refer to it as "the nasty stuff"
Your approach to this problem will depend on the
sensitivities of your girlfriend. If she is forthright and
appreciates the same from you, I would simply tell her that
the nasty stuff (and you had best know it BY NAME) does
not appeal to you and you would prefer something else.
Have a specific suggestion, preferably a scent she already
has that you like better. Make sure it is NOT the scent a
previous gir friend wore and you think your present
girlfriend has forgotten.
If your girlfriend has more lender sensibilities, go out
and buy a small quantity of scent that you really like and a
single flower or piece of candy. After dinner, go get the
nasty stuff and place pur gffts next to it on a table. Draw
her attention to them both, then say, "Honey (or her
favorite pet name), I need to talk with pu If pu were to
choose one of these, would pu choose 'A '-a fragrance that
causes me to crave pu in a thousand ways instantly, or
'B '-a scent that makes me want pu in some ways but only
after certain soup commercials?" If she chooses the nasty
stuff, you have a bigger problem than you thought, my
friend. And if she sits there silently and quizzically, pu
may have to work a bit harder at it. Otherwise, pu may
be able to open up a discussion leading to a happy solution
for both of pu.
Dear Nadisa;
My lover is 34,1 am 36 and we have a poblem. On
major holidays, each of us is expected to spend the holiday
with our respective families. During the past 4 years, we
have done exactly that; however, this has caused hard
feelings on bofh sides. 1 think we should invite both sets of
parents over. My lover strongly disagrees. What do YOU
think?
You might try examining the EXPECTATION that each
of you must spend major holidays with families instead cf
with ONE ANOTHER. Spending time together during a
holiday validates the fact that the two ofpu share a
relationship worthy of recognition and respect. Stop
acting like spinster sisters.
You both have been the good daughters during the past
4 years, so pat purselves on the back. Now realize that
one cf the advantages of reaching adulthood is having the
c-h-o-i-c-e to live pur own life. Ifpu have anything to
gain by having both sets cf parents over, consider it.
However, I am assuming you and your lover are "out" to
pur families and have visited them as a couple, that the
atmosphere during these times was amiable or at least
bearable. If my assumption is incorrect, I would suggest
an honest look at what could come out cf such a holiday
dinner.
Think about spending the next holiday with one another
without family. Work toward easing those hard feelings.
Don't let them escalate into an irreconcilable problem.
