ARIES

(March 21 - April 20)
Have you been questioning
your own intentions lately? Time to do some
deep soul-searching (and I mean deep).
This is the kind of week that can only bring
change—it’s up to you to make it positive or
negative.

 

TAURUS

(April 21 - May 21)
What a whirlwind! Venus
retrograde brought you big changes. The
only thing left is to pick up the pieces. What's
the one thing you've been neglecting? Do
that, then re-evaluate.

  

GEMINI

(May 22 — June 22)

Oh, Gemini. Sometimes

getting into your own head takes you too far

away from the present. Think of something

to ground you—seeing a friend, relative,

or even doing something by yourself. Your
feelings are valid!

lately? It’s no surprise! Sometimes emotions
really stack themselves up, especially with
your alignment to Jupiter this month.

Just remember to not take anything too
personally—it’s okay to let things go.

(July 24 - Aug 23)
The latest full moon brings
great energy to you, Leo! Though it might

mind. Working towards a goal can be more
rewarding than immediate gratification!

Tsk, tsk, Virgo. You've been

letting yourself go! Venus retrograde meets

CAPRICORN

(Dec 22 — Jan 20)

Feeling burnt out? Don’t

try and self-diagnose, Capricorn. I think

you and | both know the culprit: Stress.

Thanks to your alignment to Neptune this

month, you might feel obligated to take

it personally. Try to laugh it off—it’s all in
your head!

AQu ARIUS

(Jan 21 - Feb 19)
If you thought you were safe
from Neptune's wrath, think again. You're
no stranger to feeling jittery and anxious.
This time, however, try focusing on artistic
channels. Draw, paint, sculpt—any form
of creative expression will help you work
yourself out!

 

PISCES

(Feb 20 - Mar 20)
= Scorpio season is
kryptonite for sensitive Pisces. Don’t let
anyone steal your energy this week! A
friend or family member’s drama can
distract you from your own path. Keep
your head down and explore your feelings
without acting out of haste.

George Vancouver's great-great-grandson
looking for new Halloween costume

» ‘Think John A. MacDonald, but sexy’

wis Vancouver has had quite

enough. “This Halloween, I want to
dress up for me,” said Vancouver at a press
conference last Wednesday.

Throughout his childhood and
teenage years, the great-great-grandson of
Captain George Vancouver always dressed
up like his great-great-grandfather every
Halloween. However, this Halloween
Vancouver is hoping to do something
different.

“Growing up in England, I had a
smashing and dashing time dressing
up like my great-great-grandpappy. My
parents and friends told me that I simply
had to wear a Royal Navy costume to
remind everyone about my great-great-

grandpa Captain George Vancouver—the
captain who explored the Pacific Coast.
The very man that Vancouver is named
after! I had a jolly time dressing up like
Geepa. That’s what we called him, you
know. But now that I'm studying and living
in Canada, I’m feeling quite adventurous.

I want to showcase myself as another
influential Canadian figure.”

Reporters began shouting out
the names of other notable Canadian
politicians, from Wilfrid Laurier to Pierre
Trudeau.

Vancouver shook his head
emphatically. “I was thinking of going ina
different direction. I’ve heard much about
this Justin Bieber—perhaps he would be
popular enough to win some costume
contests. I don’t think I can commit to
the hairstyle, but a wig would suffice. Or
maybe I'll dress up like Ryan Reynolds’

Deadpool. He’s local, you know. I'm also
thinking about a tribute to the rockstar
Bryan Adams. I'm sure all the black leather
will be a big hit with the ladies.”

A reporter from the Vancouver
Sun asked if Vancouver was planning
on dressing as anything even remotely
political, but Vancouver seemed to not hear
the question.

“L also like the idea of dressing up as
Michael Buble, or Mike Myers,” Vancouver
said. “Quite the sex symbols, they are. I
think Geepa would approve! And thanks
to our local vocal hero Seth Rogen, I'll
have many other costumes to choose from.
The Green Hornet, for one. Or Frank the
sausage from Sausage Party. Although that
might be a tad risqué, eh?”

Reporters asked Vancouver if he
planned to keep his costume based on
famous Vancouver locals.

“Absolutely not!” Vancouver shouted.
“IT can always look to the east—to London,
Ontario. So much happens in Ontario:
the House of Commons, Parliament Hill...
and, most important of all, Ryan Gosling’s
birthplace. He was simply stunning in La
La Land and Blade Runner 2049. Certainly
one of the most influential films of 2017.
Yes, I’m a big fan of Ryans.”

When Vancouver was reminded there
were only scant days until Halloween, he
brushed the words aside.

“Ah well, Halloween comes every year.
I hate admitting it, but if I don’t make a
decision, there’s always the boring old
standby that everybody uses,” he said. “Tt’s
a bit old hat, but it’s a classic last resort.

It’s Richard Clement Moody, the founder
and first Lieutenant-Governor of British
Columbia. But I’m sure nobody will want to
see that.”
