COMPUTER UPDATE: Y. apologizes to kind readers in that her iMac is still out of commission. However, a kind friend is taking a look at it, and hopefully fixing it, on Thursday evening. Hopefully that'll do the trick. Y. thanks kind readers for their patience.

The virtuous Virgo energy that rules our sky now could persuade you, with impeccable reason, to do what would be most beneficial to your future self. However, as the Scorpio lunar energy takes hold, you may have your doubts. Who'll win? The answer is held in the most mysterious parts of your psyche.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your friends in other parts of the world figure into the scenario. Whether you miss them a lot or a little, their presence is felt in influential ways now. This is even truer if your distant friend is a Virgo.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some of the habits that make you feel happy only take five minutes -- like reading an inspirational article or doing sit-ups. Then again, when you're in a rebellious mood, rebelling is the thing that really makes you happy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It's on you to stay connected with your top people. It's also on you to know who those top people are and give them priority above the rest. Luckily, you also take pleasure in handling such responsibility.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even the most loving friendships hit pockets of weirdness from time to time. Find a fun distraction. Take your focus off of an awkward situation and let it work itself out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Spontaneous acts of generosity become the best feeling you get can for a few bucks. With your creativity, you shouldn't find it too hard to come up with the perfect way to surprise someone and make him or her feel special.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The conventional wisdom is not to burn your bridges, but if no bridge were ever burned, you'd be stuck with old, decrepit bridges and no room to build new ones.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You and Taurus people share a strong attraction to opulence. As your signmate the late, great Oscar Wilde said, "Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination."

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Absurd ideas waft across the sky of your consciousness like puffy, cartoon clouds. The most absurd thing of all is that one of them will quickly solve your problem.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll get great news! Although, you may not be able to recognize it as such. You could think it's just simply "news" and learn in a few weeks why it's really so great.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes when you focus on "the one," you could miss out on the wonderful offerings of "the many." It's a fine day to start your own private outreach mission and form some loose, but fascinating, new ties.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you do automatically is done without conscious choice -- or rather is probably a conscious choice you made long ago that's now unconscious. The secret to change is to wake up.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Money can't buy style. In fact, sometimes it hinders style by making something uncreative but expensive a viable option. You'll use your imagination to do what no amount of money could facilitate.

Venus and Pluto spark up an interesting astrological conversation concerning the nature of love. Venus suggests that love is a form of attention, and Pluto seconds the motion, but adds that the intensity of attention can make up for its infrequency. In other words, loving someone completely in one moment can absolve myriad oversights.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What you're looking for is a simple acknowledgement of a job well done. You'll get it, too. Of course, you may have to ask for it. Contrary to what some think, it's totally OK to ask for what you need.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know better than to let upsetting things stick in your mind. Tease it out in your journal. What? You don't have a journal? Start one, or renew your commitment to that old notebook you wrote in long ago.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). One book can make a difference. Or even one sentence in one book -- or a phrase in one sentence. You don't have to go looking for the catalyst, but do be open to finding it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Love's not complicated. Love's simple. When you feel caught between many interrelated dramas and emotions, there's some kind of power struggle or infatuation at the root, and that's not love.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your powers of perception are heightened. The motives of those around you are transparent -- their intentions, crystal clear. Make phone calls tonight when you're in a friendly mood.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll love a situation the way it is, and then, for some inexplicable reason, try to make it different. Maybe nothing is perfect, and maybe everything is. Knowing where to put your energy on days like this requires genius.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What makes sense to you is jabberwocky to someone else. Know your audience. You'll make a breakthrough when you're able to speak on the level of the person you're trying to reach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're at the crossroads again -- either you do or you don't. You could even issue an ultimatum in order to help your decision-making process speedily along.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The person you're mad at probably has no idea why you would be. That's even more maddening! This'll blow over faster when you speak up. Note: Insults are best when artful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You know just the people you need to know in order to get your project off the ground. You've yet to tap into the resources of your team, though. This is the time to do it!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your sunshiny morning is interrupted by urgent business that must be handled. Putting out metaphorical fires may not be what you planned, but it does focus you in an interesting way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A general review of the relationship situation will lead you to a conclusion -- a positive action to take immediately. This is no time to go on autopilot. Your heart is at stake.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: Sagittarius lunar energy ignites an adventurous and romantic spirit. ARIES: You could entangle yourself in tawdry mystery just for fun, or, perhaps wisely, take the slightly less-thrilling high road. TAURUS: Your solid nature attracts people less grounded, but you're strong enough not to mind much if others lean on you. GEMINI: There's hardly anything romantic worth doing that isn't worth overdoing. CANCER: You're feeling chatty, spontaneous and flirtatious all weekend. LEO: Trust your own sense of forward motion. VIRGO: Get swept up in the moment tonight. Let go. Let love in. LIBRA: Your charm is unstoppable. It's no wonder you clean up on the romantic front. SCORPIO: Love hits like a dizzy spell just when you were trying to walk a straight line. SAGITTARIUS: Those who know you well put you in your very best light. That's why it's wonderful to go on double dates with old friends. CAPRICORN: You choose to make your private romantic thoughts slightly more public by sharing them with at least one other person. AQUARIUS: Be vulnerable. Beautiful new relationships are born from a personality crisis. PISCES: Loved ones become fans of yours all over again.

You know, this is just like those tv commercials with the loser middle-management guy saying "I'm a PC" and the super cool hipster guy saying "I'm a Mac", except in this version, the Mac guy would just be laying motionless on the floor for two straight weeks.

Two weeks without ypsidixit sucks. I think you should go to the library and post an update. Maybe some of us have some computer parts you could use?

Posted by: Sandy at 10 september 2006 11:37

Y.D., post home?

And this is where I swoop in and steal all of Laura's readers.

Hello. Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Maynard and I blog too.... This week, at my fully functional site, we've got a fantastic line-up...

[this was, of course, a joke... please stay where you are]

Posted by: Mark Maynard at 11 september 2006 00:08

I have an iMac (blueberry) that you may use, Laura. I love it but I want you back more. The Ypsisphere is empty without you.

Posted by: Eric 3.0 at 11 september 2006 00:19

Please, call me if you want the computer. I'm in the phone book. - e

Posted by: Eric 3.0 at 11 september 2006 00:20

Please get your computer fixed soon. A day without Ypsidixit is like a day without sunshine.

(taken aback) why, what sweet and thoughtful comments. I'm quite touched.

Thanks also to kind readers who emailed. I have a friend coming over Tues night for triage. Then I have to re-set my modem-connection-thingie, hopefully on Wed night. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Eric: I am humbled by your unbelievably generous offer. I saw one at the Kiwanis sale, too, for $140. Thought I'd try wrestling with mine first. I will keep your amazing and generous offer in mind, though. Thank you so much.

Posted by: Laura at 11 september 2006 14:33

Listener, thank you for your kind comment.

Mark: eek! a sneak attack! OK, now I'm motivated to git this bicycle outta the shop...

Posted by: Laura at 11 september 2006 14:53

I am astonished you were offended by my post. It was simply a 'play' on the title of a beloved American play titled "Come Back Little Sheba". Truly, I very much missed your blog and am glad to have you back!

Addiann: Oopsie, did I delete a comment of yours by mistake? I was whacking out huge swathes of spam this morning. I hope I did not erase a comment of yours in error! I hasten to assure you I certainly was not offended, and even if I were, I'd never delete a comment of yours. Please accept my apologies.

Posted by: Laura at 13 september 2006 10:52

Brett": I have to laugh. Things have righted themselves, thankfully.

Posted by: Laura at 13 september 2006 10:53

Cool. I was a bit stunned. Thin-skinned, you know.

Posted by: addiann at 13 september 2006 11:04

I'm sorry, Addiann. I am glad to read your comments once more. No harm.
