Call For Submissions – Fiction Anthology

Contribute to a fiction anthology for a good cause

Pisces

Great prospects in your house of romance this week. The Sun and Venus bring luck in a way most Signs only dream about. Intuition and following hunches help you meet the person who is right for you. If you’re already in a relationship, you may be showered with attention and affection. Good news is on ...

Aquarius

Although you may not have recovered from your latest escapade, you have plenty of offers to go off on another one. Are you biding your time, waiting for the situation/romance/haircut that makes your heart go pitter-patter? If so, Jupiter in your domestic sector may make life at home so comfortable that you’re not rushing out ...

Capricorn

Capricorns are philosophical, practical, and not always esoteric. If you are, however, you usually like to keep that part of yourself private – at least until you know you won’t be seen as less than down-to-earth. Yearning for powerful connections and a private estate is not always a bad thing, though this week you can ...

Sagittarius

Sagittarians are going through a testing time, although as you do so, you might not realize it. Neptune is just square to your Sign, meaning your personal power comes from aligning with a spiritual force greater than yourself. A surprise romance is trying desperately to get your attention, if only you’ll take the barricades down! ...

Scorpio

You can know something well, and then discover there’s so much more to it. That’s not because you haven’t paid attention. Changes happening everywhere, including yours, are unprecedented. You are here to make a difference. And that can be hard work! You aren’t alone. Slowing down and noticing the little things are a route to ...

Libra

Feelings of walking through treacle lift over the weekend, picking up speed as Monday dawns. Thoughts, dreams, and plans which moved in several directions can now be assessed. The asteroid goddess, Juno, is a companion giving you protection and sustenance. She resides in your solar twelfth house of secrets and self-undoing. Sticking to the straight ...

Virgo

Prophetic dreams, or dreams that enlighten, make yours an interesting week. Mercury in this sector acts as a guide, even if you’re the type who doesn’t remember dreaming, or used to but right now cannot! There’s a planetary shift that is huge, monumental, for you. Neptune opposite your Sign creates an emotional current, revealing the ...

Leo

Leos are powerful beings, and for that reason you’re given much to be responsible for. At the same time, there need to be breaks in your busy schedule. As you relax, you can consider how much you want to take on. Mercury is in Leo. Expressing your thoughts leads to new resolutions. Secret friends and ...

Cancer

You’re a home-based Sign, meaning you may work from home, take care of others at home, or look forward all day to going home. In your case, it really is where the heart is. If you’re far from home, or in between, be assured this is still a wonderful week for you. Both the Sun ...

Gemini

With ambitious Mars in your Sign and sweet Venus and the Sun in your finance sector, you can’t miss out this week. Running around with friends, appreciating what you have and adding to your bank balance is easy enough to enjoy. You’re also a powerhouse in communications – a font of information, as they say. ...

Taurus

Neptune makes pleasant aspects to your Sign, but it can still make you spacey. That goes for everyone, but as an Earth Sign, you may feel it the most. Everything may appear to have a similar priority so careful on overextending yourself. Listen to the friends you trust, communication is heartfelt at this time. You’re ...

Aries

Aries is pure heat and fire. You can warm the coldest stone. You can burn through impossible obstacles. At the same time, your Sign is opposite Libra, which is about balance. To be the Aries you truly are, you need time to chill and regroup. Why not invest in yourself, nourishing the part of you ...

I Am Number Four

The reason this flashy, witless, Michael Bay-produced action/adventure/romance/sci-fi/teen drama/superhero/monster movie manages to cram in so much is that it’s cobbled together from the best bits of a dozen better movies. Mainly Twilight, substituting moody teenage aliens for moody teenage vampires. Yet still it fails. Mysterious hunk (of wood) Alex Pettyfer, the new guy in school, ...

Azemichi no Dandy

The appearance of a young, exciting filmmaker is something that film critics live for, especially if the auteur exhibits a unique vision and fresh energy that makes film art so enjoyable.
