Oh! Yes, wisdom of the ages! Stars and planets please tell us what to do! kozmickev@sunset.net…

Aries
Other people can make or break a relationship. You are dynamic, motivated and attractive. Your powers of persuasion are good provided you don’t hit people over the head with a point. Hard work is what’s going to get things done. Show that you’re committed to sticking to a job ‘til it’s finalized and complete.

Taurus
Love is hard work. Lust is easy, and love is hard. Recent circumstances at work seem to have you stretched to your limit. Your health may feel compromised. People call out of nowhere asking you to help with a charitable cause. When you combine fun with a serious goal you get things done with ease.

Gemini
Family and loved ones are what it’s all about this week. If you’ve been through a dry spell creatively speaking, get ready for the floodgates to open up once more. Thursday and Friday look especially blessed with the moon in your ninth house of luck and exotic experiences. Be cautious with power tools.

Cancer
Where do you fit in your local community and what role do you play? It’s the friends you hang out with, the information you digest, and the place where you live. Parents and older relatives can be of some help. Find ways to nurture yourself. Find a new and exciting way to communicate. Continue to expand comfort zones.

When Neil Diamond performed in Columbus Ohio at Ohio state University and sang a less than stellar set due to laryngytis, he soon after relayed through his spokesperson that anyone requesting a refund before 9/5 will get one. He also posted a sweet message on his site.

From NeilDiamond.com:

MESSAGE FROM NEIL TO COLUMBUS FANS

Dear Fans in Columbus,
Please give me a few days to figure out a way to make it up to you. I haven’t let you down before and I wont let you down now. Until you hear from me again remember, You are the sun. I am the moon. You are the words. I am the tune. Forgive me. I love you. Neil.

Classy move, sir.

Taking advertising to a whole new level: Rolling Rock is putting their logo on the freakin’ moon. Haha, can you imagine if this takes off (no pun intended)? Next thing you know, Diddy will be all up on that shit.

Check the Rolling Rock site for a countdown and keep your eye on the sky. Oh, I think I’m supposed to say you must be 21 or older to click that link. If you’re only 20, don’t you DARE go to that site. You’ll be arrested and confined in a 4-person jail cell until you’re of age.

Are there really large, nearly-invisible glass objects hiding in the background of some classic NASA shots from the Apollo missions? According to infamous scrutinizer of the cosmically inscrutable Richard C. Hoagland, why yes, yes there are.

Attention all West Coast Werewolf ass motherfuckers. Tonight when you walk out of the bar at last call, you will be looking at some cosmic gangsta shit. Recognize.

Astronomers say the eclipse should be a beauty, but only people willing to stay up very late or set their alarm clocks for long after midnight will see it. It will last for a full hour and a half, and during that time, the moon’s color could be anything from a dull and dusky red-brown to a reddish or even orange glow, depending on how much dust, pollution and mist is in the atmosphere.

For the wide-awake, a partial eclipse will start at 1:51 a.m. Tuesday and become total starting at 2:52 a.m. By 4:22 a.m., the total phase will be over, but then as the moon begins to emerge from Earth’s shadow, another partial phase will begin. The eclipse will end at 5:24 a.m., just as the sky lightens at dawn.

I’m scared. Hold me.
