March 39ers ~ Marching Arm-in-Arm

Marching Arm-in-Arm Down the Aisle

It’s so tempting to stagger through the months of a new year … January – New Year’s Day; February – Valentine’s Day; March – St. Patrick’s Day …

Ah yes, March 39ers – we made it to the month when wearing green is cool and Guinness makes more $$ than any other month of the year.

Pensive Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20) and airy Aries 39ers (21^st thru April 19^th) are proud to march through the month to their own drumbeat. But smart couples fresh off the Valentine cruise, will march down the aisle in March and save a small pot o’ gold.

Considered an “off” month for weddings, it was still no surprise when the young couple in our family announced their engagement at Christmas, and impending nuptials in March. Why?

After all, with their most common clan name of Murphy, what better month to share family hugs and lots of Irish kisses? No doubt, the reception will see a Guinness or two toasts, with twisted tongues.

But there is much to celebrate before and after the popular Celtic holiday … feel free to explore …

February 39ers ~ What Color is Love?

Hearts and harps. Sweets and suites. Who can resist Valentine’s Day? 

 In the eyes of retailers, rather than red, its signature color should be gold for the bullions they’ll rake in. Even singles boost sales, scarfing up on the chocolate discounts. Yum! 

Besides dark chocolate, what color is February for you? 

If you’re a February 39er, the color gods paint you in a kaleidoscope of hues – early Feb Aquarian Water-bearers (Jan 20-Feb 18), can dip into the pool of your moods, with turquoise green, bright blue, or purple. 

Walking through the sands of time with Pisces Fish (Feb 19-Mar 20), all shades of green keep you cool. (Not a red heart in sight.)  

And though there are other noble reasons to commemorate February along with Cupid – World Radio Day (13^th), Presidents’ Day (15^th), and Marijuana Awareness Month – for the 39 and Holding Club, February 14^th is also “Grandpa” Jack Benny Day! Why? Why ... he's the reason we're here.

January 39ers Cuddling with Classic TV

Celebs & Classic TV – Cuddle Up!

Reflection is unavoidable in January – so let's think celebs and those innovative classic TV shows 39 years ago! (There is a certain smug serenity about sharing a birthday with a famous personality.)

Since the famous and infamous flaunt their spectacular flair, and their poorly disguised flaws are unceasing news fodder, let's think about why they’re loved or despised, which may offer insight for a review of your personal traits, January 39ers.    
 
Do you share a 39er birthday and the suave Capricorn personality of Patrick Dempsey (50, Jan. 13)? Or are you known more for your talented quirkiness akin to Aquarian Eddie Van Halen (61, Jan. 26)? 

Caps are staunch supporters but often lack emotional attachment (think Mel Gibson, 60, Jan. 3); while Aquarians tend to baffle the world, switching between brilliant and slightly crazy (ala, zany actress Brett Butler, 58, Jan. 30). But about you … 

December 39ers Celebrate with Cheery Spirit!

Fun 39AHC Gifts!

Oh – is it December already? I was having so much fun celebrating my birth month that I didn’t notice we’d whipped around the corner and run full tilt into the Holiday month!

Oh my, I’m so naughty – December UN-birthday fun is very late – please don’t send me a lump of coal!

My procrastination however, does not mean that December 39ers are any less important – in fact, they may be the most important of the year!

December birthdays tend to be hurriedly squished between shopping and anticipation of the New Year Baby – leaving little time for our fave 12th month babes.

November 39ers – Feasts, Fun, and … Gratitude!

A month of thanks and humble gratefulness, the latter part of November leads into the world’s most compassionate season of the year. Sagittarians bring that out in people. First, however …

Tragic & talented Scorpio Vivian Leigh

Hot off All Hallow’s Eve and Samhain, November still casts compelling birthday spells as it segues through the intense Scorpio to party-planning Sag.

It is no accident that the cryptic Scorpion sign includes the extreme realm of Halloween. The Zodiac sign Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov 21) has been awarded its own celebratory day of warning: November 18 is National Married to a Scorpio Support Day. (Hmmmm – was it created by one of my exes??)

39ers' ROCK-tober!

39ers’ “ROCK”TOBER!

October and Rock music have had ghoulish fun together since Rock and Roll Rescued Radio in the mid-1950s. From DJ John Zacherle’s “Cool Ghoul” (name given him by Dick Clark), to the legendary Wolfman Jack, October is just plain fun.

Great 39er Rockers share this month’s limelight, with notable pumpkin-flavored birthdays – keep the beat with Chuck Berry (Oct. 18), explore the inane with Weird Al (Oct. 23), and lead us to temptation, with Otis Williams, last surviving member of The Temptations (Oct. 30).

Best of all, it’s the month when adults get to be kids again and dress up for Halloween. What more could you want?! Ummmm, how about a zombie-style cocktail? Yum-rum!

What’s the Zodiac stirring up this spooky month?

September to Remember

September people are special, indeed. Challenging the Zodiac realm with Virgo’s perfectionism and Libra’s gentle sense of balance, they are both formidable and lovable.

And no wonder you’re confused with your scales of life going up and down!

“September” is derived from the Roman word for “seven” making it the seventh month in the oldest Roman calendar – now, we’re guided by the Gregorian calendar for which the powers that be made September the ninth month.

Sigh, the scales will never balance that way! You’re in famous good company, however, as Librans are famously talented …
