Celebrity Horoscope for Karen Carpenter

Because of a certain restlessness and discontent, you're not the most practical person in the world. You may even be a bit spacey. In fact, sometimes you may wonder if you are of this world. Try using a to do list to your advantage. Train yourself to do important things with the force of habit. You may be disinterested in the mundane. As long as stability alludes you, so will a complete and happy life.

TIP: Get the things of the earth into your home.

Add some live plants to your environment. Fill your home with tile, pottery, wicker, ceramics, rocks and crystals. Spend more time in the present moment. Constantly remind yourself to "be here now". Eat more solid foods such as stews, soups, cooked grains and casseroles. Get more into your body. Treat yourself to regular professional massage. Find a sport or exercise regime that you can enjoy. Walk around in your bare feet in the cool dewy grass. Work to acquire a sense of steady rhythm and endurance.

Four or more planets in Air signs
YOUR MIND IS YOUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET

Your mind is your most valuable asset; you could be an intellectual. The world of ideas is important to you. Intellectual companionship, seminars, books, magazines, films, and educational cassettes interest you. Feeding your mind is just as important as feeding your body. School can be the place for you.

TIP: In the words of Robert Anton Wilson, "You need to learn more about everything, including how to learn more."

People fascinate you and you tend to regard them in a detached manner. Consequently you enjoy teamwork and social interactions more than most folk. Sentimentality does not figure highly in most of your relationships.

You can excel in any field that requires negotiation skills. Sales and writing may be avenues of pursuit. You have an affinity for abstract reasoning, codes of law and ethics - you're very good at perceiving, comparing and communicating. You are much more objective than most people, and probably more liberal in your thinking.

Your weakness is not foolishness so much as it is indecisiveness. Too much thinking can result in lost opportunities. There is a time to get out of your head and make a decision. If you find that you can't sleep because your mind is racing, get up and work with your ideas. Get ideas down on paper, onto index cards, into a word processing machine or up and out into the airwaves.

Consider getting a brain machine and taking "smart drugs." Learn speed reading and typing. To avoid overstimulation, cut back on the use of artificial sweeteners and sugar. To the same end, you might take a mineral supplement and kelp tablets.

Five or more planets in Fixed signs
YOUR FORCE OF HABIT IS STRONG

More than likely, you're determined, purposeful and persistent. You could also be more introspective, strong-willed, slow and deliberate than most people. Before you act, you like to turn things over and over. Maybe you're more than a touch inflexible and stubborn. At any rate, you are not easily pushed, pulled or pressured. Once you've made up your mind, you stand your ground with firm conviction.

Once you make up your mind and are willing to pay the price, you usually get what you want. It may take time, and you may have to overcome obstacles, but that is no matter. If you are committed, you are a powerhouse. After you overcome inertia, you're persevering, steady and stable.

The Pisces sun sign is two fish, thus, essentially, there are two of you. One fish is more kind, loving, tolerant and long-suffering than most people. The other fish can bite with shark's teeth. You don't want to hurt people, unless you are feeling righteous and need to punish the guilty.

It's fair to say that you're imaginative, a dreamer, and even mystical. You certainly seem to absorb and drink in your surroundings more than most people. You have your mood swings and can benefit from live music and dance.

TIP: Break the chains of fate and destiny.

The future can be for those who take it and those who make it. More than most people, you are a product of your beliefs as much as your disbeliefs. As Henry Ford said, "Whether you think you can or you can't, you are right."

You're a tiny bit proud and perhaps a little bit stubborn. When you're under stress, you get dramatic.

No matter what your class, there is something regal and aristocratic about you and your bearing. You are status conscious and hunger for prestige and social privilege. You want to be recognized as someone special. When you become confident, you will become an effective leader.

Friendship, social contacts and freedom matter to you. You have more than a usual appreciation for things modern and progressive. You find the concept of newness greatly appealing. For more sex appeal, get more high tech appeal.

Teamwork can be the right thing for you. You have a strong urge to form associations. Paradoxically, you please others to please yourself. Once you find the right partner, you have plenty of energy.

Tolerance contributes to your prosperity. You may espouse some rather grand and progressive ideas. Bring them to life. Get involved with humanitarian causes. Join your kind of service club and social organization. You can do big things with your originality.

You can be practical, exacting, hardworking, moral, orderly, conscientious, and a perfectionist. For you to get past your limits you must learn efficiency, accuracy and precision. However, you must pay some dues before you learn to distinguish trivial pursuit from what is necessary to success.

To become yourself it may be necessary to make a break away from your home and family. Your personal life is unsettled. Probably you're fond of electronic devices. You get a 7-year itch to free yourself from restrictive domestic situations.

You're here to find yourself, be yourself and express yourself. The hell of it is that jealousy and power struggles are issues you must squarely face. Jealousy is not necessarily a trait of yours. However, you'll have to deal with the jealousy of your peers and in business.
