Mardi Gras may be on March 5th, but it’s always Mardi Gras somewhere. With Beads, King Cakes and ruckus, what do the Signs do during Mardi Gras Season?

The planet Mercury reaches greatest eastern elongation of 18.1 degrees from the Sun on February 27th. This is the best time to view Mercury since it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the evening sky. Look for the planet low in the western sky just after sunset.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18: they enjoy being around intoxicated people, though they aren’t big drinkers. Where else would they go, then, besides New Orleans, where they could spend the day building Habitat for Humanity houses for hurricane victims.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20: they love a party and everything that goes with it.

Aries

March 21 – April 19: They love a party, but they love a challenge even more. If Mardi Gras beads are getting handed or tossed out, this horoscope sign will go to great lengths to get them.  

Taurus

April 20 – May 20: They love getting their hands dirty and decorating, so putting together parade floats for the big day would give them a thrill.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20: They are going to be where the biggest party is this Fat Tuesday. As long as there are plenty of people to chat with.

Cancer

Sagittarius
