BY SOUP CAN SAM STAFF P S Y C H IC Tears of a Heart by Amanda L.Seaver Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) “One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.” A. A. Milne said that, and he wrote Winnie-the-Pooh. Listen to this advice. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) Sometimes no matter what, things don’t J seem to go our way. Just stand up and tell that cop, “I have a right to be here,” then go on your way. Aries (March 21-April 20) Each one of us is special. Of course, we are more special because we are telling you what to do, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take that job this month. Wait, maybe you shouldn’t. No, we say go ahead. Any job is a good job right now, right? Droplets fall from eyes so sorrow filled. Each one holding a small piece of pain, The cries of her heart sound from within, As she pleads with inner demons that haunt her. Twisted and tormented is her past, Blows, bruises, tears and more, Her life was on the line, To riin without a trace, Was her only choice. Day after day, Shfi wonders where she went wrong, As nightmares sing their torturous song. . . Payers of healing sound inside, But the sting still resides, The marks are no longer there, Yet the memory of it all lives on, From dawn till dusk she battles, To gain her power back. A trail of tears is what she walks, .To search for her soul that was stolen, Her spirit is broken, For nothing is as it once was. Fragile like a crystal ball, She teeters on the edge of breaking, Longing to stand tall and proud, To be her pride filled individual once again. • Taurus (April 21-May 20) Lift up your spirits by indulging in a fantasy this month. Nothing too crazy, and be sure to stay safe. But February is the month of love , so go out th e re a n d g e t so m e Gemini (May 21-June 21 Painting on cardboard by Bernard Patrick This week shoot for the moon. We only learn by tryfrig different things, and then failing at them. Cancer (June 22-July 22) OK, we had said that if you see an iceberg to head for land. This time we say the iceberg is just something larger underneath, go down and investigate. Leo (July 23-Aug. 23) People always look to us for advice. It’s not our fault, we’re just born that way.
