Nerdy Horoscope Week of March 10th 2014

Aries A difficult conversation about a situation in your RPG group may be unavoidable this week. Make sure your best friend understands he can’t hog up all the best items and tell your significant other not to try to fight his/her way out of every encounter. Remember WotC is watching…always watching. Are you feeling conflicted about buying a new board game? Insecure about whether or not your group will play the game? If possible wait until Friday to buy the game I hear there’s a big sale coming up on it. If you’ve already bought it, however, and your sweetheart isn’t a fan of that type of game, he or she may become quite vocal about it this week. Hope you saved the receipt. I hate to see buyer’s remorse break up relationships.

Taurus Try not to allow your partner to distract you from pursuing a fabulous career opportunity as a self-publishing board game designer this week. He or she may feel insecure about you spending so much energy focusing on probabilities, talking incessantly about game mechanics, and listening to tabletop gaming podcasts. If you’ve been involved in a casual affair with someone you know you shouldn’t be, Sunday’s Full Moon may prompt your partner to end the relationship altogether via ritual sacrifice. Be particularly wary of suggestions of a sudden Camping Retreat.

Gemini You’ll have the gift of gab later this week to help you out in your LARPing session. These days, with Mars still retrograde in your 5th House of Love, it’s difficult to get a new relationship for your Vampire character. Still, on Friday a gorgeous link between Mercury and Mars will help you to at least open up a dialogue with that special minion you’ve had your eye on. If a relationship isn’t progressing as quickly as you’d like, reflect on this old adage: “All good things come to those who connive and manipulate.”

Cancer A serious, but necessary, discussion with your cosplay costume designer may need to happen on Tuesday. It’s possible that you’re not in agreement about how EVA foam and stretch vinyl resources are being used. Whatever the details, not talking it through will only make things worse. Yes, it will be uncomfortable, but it’s also a necessary step to restore your chances of placing in the Best in Show Category. You’ll feel more optimistic by Thursday, or you won’t.

Leo There may not be much you can do early in the week to convince your partner to see things your way. You may be engaged in a deadlock over a miniatures war game rule interpretation. It’s also possible that you cannot agree on a decision about a potential move, or which orders will best strike fear and dread in your opponents. Try to hold off on giving any ultimatums since that will only frustrate both of you. Wait until Friday and you’ll see a swift change in tactics when your five year old decides to “play with your toys”.

Virgo While others may be in a difficult spot this week concerning relationships, you seem to be one of the lucky few who can enjoy smooth sailing as your copy of Fleet arrives and you design your own solo variant rules for the game. Your most significant partnership energy will be felt on Thursday when the Sun in your relationship sector will be at a fine angle to Saturn, now in your communication sector. You and your imaginary friend will agree on a vital matter that will affect each of you for the long haul. Enjoy the peace of mind while it lasts. Remember, they’re all out to get you!

Libra Communicating about scientific matters is likely to remain a central focus. This week however, you may experience a certain amount of frustration. If you’re not feeling appreciated by your astronomy club, because they never believe you when you say the stars are whispering to you, don’t take it personally. Perhaps an offering of blood and extreme shame will encourage the ancient ones to express themselves to others in the Club. If this happens, rather than gloating, consider making squid hats for everyone. Who doesn’t like crafty gifts? By Friday you may be surprised at how receptive they will all be after the great awakening occurs.

Scorpio You’re one of the lucky few this week who can expect a relatively stress free time of it when it comes to romance. On Thursday, the Sun, now in your romantic dominance sector, will be at a fine angle to Saturn’s moon Titan, which will amplify your strength to super-human levels. Your ability to seize a potential mate by the Firefly T-shirt and push them into a quiet corner for some long-anticipated smootches will be uncanny. By Friday this amplified strength will wane as will your libido leaving you in an existential crisis of doubt and diminished self-worth.

Sagittarius Your social life may feel an extra slump these days. While you may not have an abundance of Raid invitations, this doesn’t have to completely annihilate your potential to meet someone special. On Friday, consider attending an in-game wedding or other special event that one of your Guildies hosts. You may even decide to take your laptop to the coffee shop and play there for an afternoon, of course the derision of staff and hipsters who quit playing the game back before they nerfed all of the cool stuff may incite a rage induced “Leroy Jenkins” scenario for your Raid group.

Capricorn Your thirst for knowledge may be renewed as you and you discover a new LCG (Living Card Game) and decide to focus on learning every strategy, no matter how ineffective or incomplete. Your romantic partner will play the game with you at least a few times out of a show of devotion or they will come to understand the game in ways you could never hope to and dominate you every time you play a card. Sometimes it’s OK to sell a game you just purchased, but at the end of this week you’ll find that the bottom has dropped out of the market and you will be left with a very expensive box of kindling for your fireplace.

Aquarius This week, you might rely on your sweetheart to be a sounding board as you work past any insecurity relating to speaking your mind to the comic shop employee who keeps putting the wrong books in your saver. Run a mock dialogue past your partner before you approach said employee since this will help to build your confidence and avoid that ruthless stutter that has plagued you since adolescence. In other news, on Wednesday the Moon will be in your bargain hunting sector so hit those back issue bins with a vengeance. I hear Iron Fist back issues are going to be worth a mint when the new Netflix series hits.

Pisces If you’re starting a new BBC series that has been remade, your TV time prospects might turn into something more substantial than you had first imagined. You will find yourself testing the limits of personal hygiene, sleep deprivation, and your ability to eat food you’ve lost and subsequently found in the couch as you binge watch 13 seasons of the remake before delving into the 22 series. When you pare down the bare essentials, do you really need that pesky job? This is a question that Sunday’s Full Moon in your career sector will ask. Your week of bliss may end as emergency responders arrive due to complaints of a “corpse-like” smell coming from your apartment.
