You may encounter others who are aggressively promoting their philosophy as well, and this is destined to generate conflict as your ideals clash violently. Also, the desire for action and adventure may impel you to undertake an enterprise that is physically or mentally challenging, and possibly dangerous.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
The big questions of life occupy your attention and you may be drawn to study philosophy, religion, metaphysics, or other areas which open up new worlds for you. Mind-expanding studies are likely, and foreign cultures have a strong appeal to you now. You seek new vistas and broader horizons through studying, or reading about new ideas or by seeking out people with greater experience, insight, and knowledge than your own. A teacher or mentor may be particularly important to you now.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Your career, social standing, or reputation is favored at this time, especially by making personal contact with superiors or by socializing and making friendly contacts at work.

Philosophical discussions or studies are also on the agenda. You're thinking about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
The obstacles you face may be very frustrating, and 'hard work' may feel like a euphemism for the strain you are feeling. Try not to become emotionally depressed or angry because of the demands. It is best to take a positive attitude toward the work that needs to be done and realize that there will be other times for more expansive, pleasurable activity. Some people, particularly workaholics with an ascetic streak in them, enjoy the undistracted dedication, perseverance, and effort needed.

- Spencer’s Hunting Grounds will be reopening tomorrow for the 18th annual Reindeer Games, a traditional hunt of Nine Wild Caribou recently shipped from mainland Canada. Tagged with the names of Santa’s Reindeer, each kill corresponds with an additional ‘Bonus Sack’ of additional hunting gear and seasonal prizes. Interest in this sporting hunt was so great that Spencer had to pull twelve lucky hunters from a pool of over 45 registrants. A young aspiring documentarian from Hawthorne University’s film school will also be permitted on the grounds to accompany the hunting party and produce a GloTV special, which will air on Christmas Day.
