Can you feel it in the air? There’s an electric buzzing — of anxiety, frustration, joy, confusion and raving madness — in the clouds. Your faithful guide to the stars thinks a lot of this has to do with all the fun goodies that come along with the end of the semester and the year. It’s been a crazy town banana pants of a year, let me tell you. After a semester of interpreting tea leaves, star charts, lectures on modernist theory and planetary movements, your guide has gone a little of the rails. Perhaps he began speaking to a log in his backyard. Perhaps that log started speaking back to him. Perhaps the log possesses an unearthly wisdom your guide utilized for his last set of horoscopes.

With the end of 2014 upon us, I calibrated my algorithms in order to deliver the Top 10 Albums of 2014 According to a Deeply Biased Perspective On the Realm of Music. I offer no “objectivity” in my selections, and I cried for all the albums I just couldn’t find room for in this aggressively hierarchized list.

With all this yammering about the capitalist orgy of Black Friday and Thanksgiving yams in the crisp autumn air, your head is probably spinning. Don’t fear, dear reader, your guide to the stars is here with a special dose of mysticism to guide you through the long weekend.

I’m sure you’re all busy toiling away in the intellectual trenches as the end of the semester looms, but the stars (and your faithful guide) are here to offer some respite. There’s a new moon happening on Saturday (not of the Stephenie Meyer variety) that will hand out new beginnings and good vibes the way that Oprah tosses out bees — but only if you’re willing to relinquish the past’s hold on you. The whole zodiac chart is about to debauch upon a newer, mightier world, and I’ve provided the songs and sage advice to assist in your transit.

Let’s get two things out of the way in the discussion of “romeo&juliet/VOID,” the latest play to take the stage at the Galvin Playhouse on the Tempe campus: (1) this is not a blasé rehashing of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet;” it’s an entirely different beast and (2) a straightforward narrative isn’t something you should expect from School of Film, Dance & Theatre faculty associate Chris Danowski’s play. You should expect to get lost — in the best possible way.

In the past, the Norwegian pop duo Röyksopp has been accused of being “house for people who don’t like house;” the innocuous soundtrack of Volkswagen Jetta-driving, soy candle-lighting thirty-something folks who find their music at a Starbucks.

Now that Mercury is finally out of retrograde (the choir rejoices!), your humble guide to the stars has returned to his trusty star charts to interpret what message the stars, planets and the space-time continuum have in store for you.

According to the stars — such hopeless things, the stars — Mercury is “technically” still in retrograde (it’s called “shadow retrograde” and will hang around until Nov. 10), which is just a bummer extraordinaire. Communication towers remain toppled, and no one can see the complete truth, so your humble guide thought to himself: Why not throw out the star charts and tea leaves for a bit and rely on some good ol’ fashioned fortunetelling for a week? You’re still getting a song to match the thematic overtones of my trusty predictions (I would never short you on that), but I’m opting for a more optimistic reading of the future — courtesy of what the Internet calls a whirlybird, cootie catcher, flapdapper and bumbledumpling. You could just call it a paper fortuneteller, too. I’ll pull out my star charts next week, when Mercury has drifted out of retrograde to pick on other celestial beings.

You will not find a “Please Don’t Touch” sign posted anywhere at "Strat-o-graphic," the 14th annual exhibition put on by A-Buncha-Book-Artists of handmade and commercially printed books made by students and local artists. In fact, the exhibit practically demands that the casual exhibit-goer embrace his or her sense of touch when wandering among the dozens of meticulously crafted books on display in the Harry Wood Gallery at the Tempe campus.

Sparkle Motion, this week’s Bandcamp gem, was mined in chilly Flagstaff. Geewhiz, is it one heck of a kaleidoscope of dream pop/slightly psychedelic/chillwave vibes.

Your guide to the stars is here with a general prescription for every sign of the zodiac: cool your heels this week. There’s a solar eclipse happening on Thursday, which has a tendency to veil the truth with misunderstandings. Reality is, like, super difficult to interpret on a normal day, but it’ll be even more of a challenge this week — according to the ever-faithful tea leaves. Don’t rush to any conclusions or make any snap decisions. Consider just listening to the music deemed thematically appropriate for your zodiac and r-e-l-a-x.

A group of queer revolutionaries in post-apocalyptic Phoenix are at the forefront of “The Hungry Woman: A Mexican Medea,” but we solved the queer problem by legalizing gay marriage, right? Wrong.

This week’s Bandcamp gem — the local babes of desert pop outfit, Diners — is served with a hearty side of summertime vibes and wistful lyrics.

Read on for everything you need to know about how last week’s lunar eclipse probably threw things for a loop and left a great many of you wandering around in a dreamy haze.

Last week, the stars were just abuzz with Mercury’s movement into retrograde. This week, the headlines scrawled in tealeaves are all about the lunar eclipse happening on Oct. 8. Lunar events send superstitious folks clamoring to subscribe meaning to things like full moons and lunar eclipses, but the zodiac work your guide is deals in is scientific fact, basically. Yes, the lunar eclipse will affect each sign — just in varied and exciting ways! Some of you may find yourselves embroiled in a love triangle, uncovering shocking secrets about your lovers or confronting your subconscious desires! It’s a fun week. Read on to uncover what the lunar eclipse will mean for you, but remember, your guide to the stars does not accept legal liability for the accuracy of these claims — no matter how scientific his processes of interpretation are.

A lone figure paces across an expanse of white sand that carries on into the distance, talking into a cassette player. “There are these moments, these gestures that are intangible, very slippery,” he says. He grasps at an elusive idea, failing to capture it with words.

The stars have spoken, and your guide has faithfully translated the implications of all this planetary movement and zodiac mumbo jumbo — and given you a song to match. While a great many of you are guaranteed good vibes for the month of October, Mercury is slipping into retrograde on Saturday, which is just bound to bring a sense of unease, stagnation and miscommunication into the atmosphere. Not to worry, though; the planets are always moving, so it’ll pass.
