MAY 2009 � ARIES (21 Mar - 20 Apr) Got handholds? If your love life hits rough seas at this time, you will be pushed to and fro emotionally, so hang on tight! � TAURUS (21 Apr - 21 May) Finish any creative boat projects you started last month. Do this before the 21st when the sun sails into Gemini and takes inspiration with it. � GEMINI (22 May - 21 Jun) The sun cruises into Gemini on the 21st. Complete any onboard jobs you’d like to finish by using this energizing aspect to full advantage. CANCER � (22 Jun - 23 Jul) Minor irritations might distract you from the usual calm and serenity of the master cabin. Don’t let them get to you; they’re not important. � LEO (24 Jul - 23 Aug) The very aspect that means headwinds for Aries and Cancer will blow romance into your sphere. Enjoy it! � VIRGO (24 Aug - 23 Sep) Business, which has been languishing at anchor, will get new winds in its sails after the 17th. � LIBRA (24 Sep - 23 Oct) Your love life will be in irons this month and no matter which tack you try you will meet with confused seas. Take a short solo sail until romantic aspects improve. � SCORPIO (24 Oct - 22 Nov) You will find it difficult to proceed in any creative projects you attempt and crewmembers will be argumentative, which will not help your mood. Just ease your mainsheet and the way you have on will carry you through. � SAGITTARIUS (23 Nov - 21 Dec) Hey, Archers — don’t waste the arrows in your quiver this May; they will all be off the mark. This aspect will blow away on the 31st. � CAPRICORN (22 Dec - 20 Jan) Concentrate on any creative cruising leanings you feel and leave romance tied up at the dock for now. � AQUARIUS (21 Jan - 19 Feb) Take time off. Leave boat projects on the hook and enjoy yourself. � PISCES (20 Feb - 20 Mar) Boat business aspects are negative, so go ashore for a while and spend time with friends to get your mind off your worries.

We feel we’ve been forgotten. We children sleep in the stern cabin, With lack of space and air, While back at home, we’d our own beds, With lots of room to spare. My brothers like the PS2, They really go quite hectic, “But sorry, boys,” my daddy says, “I’m afraid there’s no electric!” At home we had a lot of pets, We thought we’d take them, too, But when we asked our dad, he said, “That simply will not do!” Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all bad, There’s things that make it fun, Like swimming pools and golden sand, And a shining yellow sun. And visiting new places, There’s a lot to be explored, And also finding many friends, It’s hard to be too bored! —Shelly Mullan Shelly, age 13, and her family are cruising the Caribbean aboard the yacht Wendreda. parlumps marooned CARE FOR THE SEA We need to care for the sea; Help keep the sea litter free. Don’t throw plastics in the sea Because it affects all creatures from A to Z! The sea has so many purposes: Swimming, sailing, and it also supports us. Many use the sea to earn a living, So stop all the littering! When we litter, it’s marine life we’re killing. When the marine life is gone, where’s the income for living? Let us work together to care for the sea — Help me as I pledge to keep the sea litter free. — Dillon Ollivierre PARLUMPS@HOTMAIL.COM Island Island Poets Poets WILFRED DEDERER fact-oids MAY 2009 CARIBBEAN COMPASS PAGE 33
