June Design Horiscopes

Gemini

Ignore that annoying little voice inside your head that's telling you to update your resume this month. Just because all your regular meeting times were changed without your knowledge; and your name plate outside your office door is gone; and you cannot access your company e-mail; and your auto-unlock device no longer permits building entry, doesn’t mean you're being let go. But maybe that little voice in your head isn't so annoying.

Cancer

Being intuitive and imaginative does not always work in your favor. Spending your weekends this month researching and doing surveys for the book you're writing on the favorite styles and sizes of type among teens just doesn't sound worthwhile or remotely interesting. And whoever came up with that title, "The FONTain of Youth," must have character issues.

Leo

Co-workers become increasingly concerned about you this month. You've developed a noticeable germ phobia. You avoid physical contact with them, especially handshaking. You begin each day using an anti-bacterial spray on your phone, keyboard, doorknob, chair and sometimes even your shoes. You can alleviate their concerns by hugging and kissing them each morning or you can just show up at work wearing a full Hazmat suit that includes self-contained breathing apparatus.

Virgo

Virgo, you certainly have an excellent eye for detail but sometimes you are so meticulous, you neglect to see the larger picture. All those days you spent diligently designing a Web site using primarily greens and reds for a non-profit organization, only to realize too late that the organization was for people with Dyschromatopsia … more commonly known as 'Color Blindness.' Sure was a pretty color red on your face though.

Libra

As summer approaches, concentration on your job takes quite a forced effort as vacation fantasies dance in your head. Staring at your computer screen every day is making you bleary eyed. Your mind wants to travel to exotic locations; your body wants to lather in ocean spray; your spirit wants to escape office confinement; and your design director wants you to complete 10 projects by the 15th. Reality bites.

Scorpio

Your designs are hot this month and a couple of delighted clients might approach you for some after hours libation. Tread lightly if you accept. You know how a crazy night out can sometimes end in shameful regret. Bounced out of a bar; an unwanted head tattoo; or a noisy, violent clash with police. It could lead to your next design project: jail cell makeovers.

Sagittarius

June is a hot month for you but not because of any stellar designs you've created. The heat is the result of an air conditioning malfunction in the office. Give it an all-out effort as you attempt to concept in humidity. Then pray that your building maintenance person fixes the problem before a 'clothes are optional' heat alert is issued.

Capricorn

Capricorns are patient and reserved, so you're the perfect choice to become a fellow designer's personal confidant. However, it's up to you to not let the situation get out of control, otherwise your work area could become a sordid confessional. Co-workers might get in line to divulge their innermost turmoil and you'll have to resist the delicious temptation to create the juiciest blog on the Internet.

Aquarius

Your creative abilities will reach a dizzying peak this month. Being able to easily and quickly concept outstanding designs is making your co-workers think you're a genius. You're 'wowing' clients with amazing regularity and the word is out that you are THE go-to person for effective ideas. Even management is convinced it has a design hotshot in its fold. Maybe you should get away from all this exciting attention and take a dull, boring vacation.

Pisces

Your firm is planning an employee golf outing/competition this month at a championship golf course. You'd really like to go but being a sensitive Piscean, you're very concerned that you've never played and passionate golfers take their game seriously. You fear that a first-time golfer, who interrupts others' concentration, might be clubbed to death. Politely ask the organizers if they can change the location from a professional course to one that has those cute, little windmills.

Aries

Believing that exercise helps keep your creative juices flowing, your design director is putting the design team through group stretches and jumping jacks twice a day. A few things to keep in mind during these physical activities: don't wear tight clothes; watch out for flailing arms and legs; and never, ever stretch or jump up and down right after a big, spicy lunch. Surely you don't want to be the embarrassing cause of a building evacuation.

Taurus

Being a resentful Taurean, you're thinking of smoking cigarettes so you can take hourly breaks like the smokers do. No need to take on such a risky habit for equal downtime. You can get up and walk aimlessly around the office for awhile. Better yet, just sit totally still at your desk with your eyes closed and hands at your sides. However, don't stay that way for longer than five minutes or someone might call a coroner.
