nuns that were put to death by guil
lotine during the French Revolu
tion. Specifically, it tells the story
of Blanche de la Force, a semi-fic
tional character who decides to
become a nun because of her fear
of life.
At the Carmelite convent,
Blanche talks to the prioress Mme.
de Croissy who is dying of a fatal
disease. The prioress attempts to
make Blanche understand that the
convent is a house of prayer in
stead of a place to hide from life.
As the revolution reaches the
convent, the nuns take an oath of
martyrdom that frightens Blanche
into fleeing the convent and return
ing to her family home that is in
ruins due to the war. She hides as a
servant rather than face death; yet
seeing her sisters mounting the
scaffold, she decides to join them
in their fate.

By Chris Lundgren
Today’s battles will be
won with wits, rather than force.
Lay down your arms and others
will follow suit.
Taurus: Your usual ability to
charm others with your charisma
may be weakened today. Don’t
rely too much on skating out of
your problems, but concentrate on
actually resolving them.
Gemini: You will find that you
Aries:
have talents you didn’t even know
you had. Learn from the experi
ence and you will dazzle others
around you. Today you’re allowed
to show your spunky side.
Cancer: It’s time to travel some
where far away. The dusty road
beckons you to follow. Give in to
your wanderlust for a time, but
don’t forget your responsibilities
at home. Eventually you must re
turn.
Leo: A series of new experiences
awaits you - if only you will come
out of your shell. Don’t do any
thing rash, but on the other hand,
don’t be afraid simply because
you’ve never tried it.
Virgo: Let the shining of the sun
energize your whole being today.
Be a help to others and spread
your cheer wherever you go.
Watch out for those who will try to
spoil your mood.
Libra; A time of preparation has
come. Store your nuts for a later
date and they will be far tastier. The
magic color for today is red.
Scorpio: Your finances may receive
a nice kick in the pants today, in
vest this newfound fortune wisely
and you will see an even greater
bounty. The same can be applied
to your social life.
Sagittarius: If things aren’t going
well, it’s because you’re the prob
lem. Stop getting in your own way
Resist the temptation to blame others
foryour mistakes.
Capricorn: A dark cloud is looming
on the horizon. This could lead to
disaster if you don’t travel the right
path. Stick to your principles and
don’t let others give you bad advice.
Aquarius: Magic is in full supply to
day, so don’ t be afraid to tap its pow
ers. Whatever you wish for will come
true, so be sure that you wish for the
right things.
Pisces: It’s time to get back to busi
ness. Some midnight oil needs burn
ing, and it seems to have your name
