That's the tallest sunflower that's ever grown in my backyard. It's about 12 feet tall, if you can imagine that. The head has been getting bigger these past few days; I only wonder how big it'll get eventually.

Wow, that is a tall sunflower!

it's a mammoth. That's gonna be my sunflower spot next year.

With the outer planets still retrograde and the moon shifting this weekend from wise Pisces to impulsive Aries, it feels a bit like the parental universe has left for the weekend, giving us over to the care of a teenage babysitter. The urge to horse around, play jokes, eat too much sugar and play loud music may be too strong to resist.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Beating yourself up over the littlest mistake has become second nature to you. Bad habits aren't always easy to break, but kicking this one will feel a lot better than kicking yourself.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're not working for money. You're working for a successful outcome for your company, your project, yourself. With this in mind, you'll make your mark. Capricorn and Virgo people are supporters.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You look forward to connecting with a special someone and have every confidence that your expectation of the relationship will be happily met. That's why tonight's events go so well.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Transformation requires power. How much? Enough to complete the change. So plug into new sources if you must, but don't give up now. You're more than halfway through. Keep going until you see the change.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The stars are loving your largesse. Thinking huge has obvious benefits, too. If your attitude is big enough and your plans are big enough, your outrageous goals suddenly don't seem so outrageous at all.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Love is your area of expertise now. Apply yourself there and win. As far as your financial life goes, shiny things are everywhere, and yet, you've seen better. Hold out for the really primo merchandise at the right price.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The stars suggest this is a day of extremes -- or extreme feelings, at least. If you're not in the center of the drama, it seems to you that you're at the outer edge of the earth, where at least there's quiet.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). RE: status quo. The statistics and averages may point to the fact that you're doing fine. You're worth more than fine, and you know it. The brave thing is to ask for it. Consider a major purchase, like a new car or home.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know better than to wait for things to happen. You're the reason and the cause of "things" happening. A relationship heats up when you create romantic situations. Expand your horizons: learn, travel or invest.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No matter how you did things before, this is a new day, and you could potentially become an entirely different person, with new habits and, it follows, new results.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your open-minded approach to health brings healing. Medicine isn't magic, and magic isn't medicine, but the two could combine to inspire a miracle.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). No one has ever stood exactly where you're standing now, nor seen what you see in this moment. That's why different experts use the same information to draw vastly different conclusions. Your way is a good way. Believe in it.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: It isn't unreasonable to ask that your partner not criticize or tell you how to do things at all. TAURUS: Call the people you haven't connected with in a while -- in an indirect way, it brings heat to your love life. GEMINI: A like-minded individual helps you unravel mysteries about yourself. CANCER: Your secret is safe, as long as you keep it. The hidden part of you is an attraction magnet. LEO: Beautiful connections with fellow fire signs (Sagittarius and Aries). VIRGO: There's no bee in the room -- that buzz you hear is people talking and thinking good things about you. LIBRA: You're successful in love when you take a "show, don't tell" approach. SCORPIO: Sometimes, it's easy to forget that everyone is human, with weaknesses and needs. Love means tolerating this in a partner and in yourself. SAGITTARIUS: Romantic entanglement spurs creativity, but be careful. It's your heart on the line. CAPRICORN: Whether it's the gym, a hiking club or a cooking class, you'll meet others there with the same values as you. AQUARIUS: You're lucky in love when you base your fantasy life in reality, and vice versa. PISCES: Traditional expectations in the world of love get turned upside down.
