Did you know that before

color TV was invented, 75% of people claimed to dream in black and white? Now 82% of people dream in color. The remaining,

stubborn 12% refuses to get with the times, most likely trying to emulate those golden years of churned butter and smallpox.

Pisces - - You’re in some need of inspiration this week,

Pisces! Although it’s Pisces season, you may be feeling out of the blue this

week, as you seem to regret decisions having to do with school and your

future. You may rekindle a relationship with an old friend this week. Use

this new relationship to help you gain self-confidence and inspiration

Aries - Last week was full of stress and tension from school to

extracurricular activities. Nevertheless, don’t worry, you work best under

pressure Aries. This week, for all your hard work, is full of rewarding

experiences and opportunities. Be sure to enjoy it and savor every moment

as it lasts.

Libra - Many people don’t understand why you meddle

into their problems. Although it is usually for the best reasons, try to

explain to them your intentions and hopefully any problems regarding

this will clean themselves up. A dear friendship may also be tested this

week, Libra. If you two are truly friends, you guys will persevere.

Virgo - While last week may have been stressful, this week,

try to laugh it off Virgo. You need calm and relaxation so don’t take on

too many responsibilities this week. This week, also be sure to explore a

new field that may seem strange to you at first. Maybe, you’ll end up

loving it.

Taurus - Last week’s positive vibes are rolling in this week

as well, Taurus. As this week offers lots of new ventures and experiences,

be sure to stay grounded to your true personality. Also, as more and more

opportunities come your way, be sure to plan your time accordingly and

only commit to the activities that you will truly benefit from.

Gemini - This week, you may encounter someone

extremely different from you and any of your friends. Don’t shy away

from this new relationship as you will learn things about yourself that you

never knew existed with this person. Keeping this in mind, you may also

be involved in some sort of group project this week. Don’t shy away from

being the leader, you’re really good at it!

Scorpio - Early this week may entail of uncovering past

problems, making this an extremely emotional time. Don’t worry

Scorpio, this was long coming. By the middle week, new opportunities

at school or work will change you mindset and you’ll be back to your

hardworking, cheerful self in no time.

Leo - This week is all about exploring new opportunities. As

you explore the range of activities that you could pursue, keep in mind that

trying something new and different may uncover a hidden passion or talent

of yours. This week, also remember to have faith in yourself. With that, you

could do just about anything.

Cancer - You may feel like the world in coming down on

you this week, Cancer. But remember that everything will turn out the

way you want it to be; you may just need to experience a few bumps in

the way to get there. This week, a new friendship may grow as well. While

this may seem extremely fast, this relationship will be extremely

influential and beneficial for your future.

Aquarius - You may be feeling extremely insecure this

week as you begin to realize your differences in personalities and hobbies

in comparison to the people you surround yourself with. No one is pushing

you to change and you shouldn’t change regardless. It’s good to be

different and to express your own voice The differences between you and

your friends are the driving forces behind your strong relationships.

Sagittarius - This week is full of new beginnings. You

may start being friends with a previous “enemy”. Don’t be so quick to

judge. This person hold many good qualities that you may want

yourself to have as well. This week also calls for the creation of new

patterns and routines and the breaking of bad, old habits. Change is

good, Sagittarius.

Capricorn - This week is all about hopes and dreams,

Capricorn. As you try to imagine your future and goals, be sure to

make to-do lists that will help you and guide you. Although it may not

seem beneficial now, setting some time aside now for your long terms

will work extremely in your favor. This way, you’ll have head start.

This week we introduce Mr. October, Kevin Joseph, Mr. November, Jared Borja and Mr. December, Christian Ossa.

MR. JPS

I’m Kevin Joseph, Mr. October, and I’m the god of the sun, Helios. My hobbies include hanging out with

friends and watching movies. My mom tells me I shine as bright as the Sun like Helios. Don’t confuse me for that wanna be Apollo who tries to claim he is the Sun god. Get ready to see me ride my golden chariot and dust my opponents, because not only am I going to shine on stage, but I am also going to outshine my

competitors.

Apollo, the ACTUAL god of the Sun (unlike that oldie Helios), likes to relax in the moderate temperatures of November and sizzle in the winter snow (cuz he’s just

so hot). A senior at JP, Mr. November isn’t afraid to use his god’s given talent to woo the ladies and have the men battle him in a jealous rage. As the god of the

arts, Apollo flaunts his talent in the JPS Choir, Theatre Company, Yearbook, and Film Studio. Put all of this

together and you have a god that can’t be beat.

I’m Cristian Ossa, Mr. December, a senior at JP Stevens, and Hades, god of the underworld, all at once! When I’m not found balling on the streets with the bois that means I’m probably singing something loudly and annoying someone or other. During my free time I love

playing with my younger siblings and defending my Mario Kart title :3. Come to Mr. JPS for a hell of a time!
