NS, ND. ☎ 7928 FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): America’s invasion of Iraq CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s Freethinkers LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your idealism is one of will unleash far-reaching consequences that profoundly affect every one of our personal lives. In the coming months, we’ll encounter events that require us to revise our understandings about the very nature of reality. Our imaginations will have to be ingenious and our hearts alert in order to keep up with the exotic changes. To locate truth amidst relentless waves of propaganda, we’ll have to be fiercely disciplined and tenderly hate-free. To avoid being infected by popular delusions, we’ll have to cultivate compas- sionate lucidity, humble courage, and a determination to rouse beauty everywhere we go. You, Aries, are the logical choice to serve as a supreme role model for the approach I’ve just outlined. Week, a holiday created especially for you Cancerians. To cele- brate this liberating grace period, indulge in any of the following festive acts: 1. Declare your independence from anyone who tries to tell you, either subliminally or directly, who you are or how you should live your life. 2. Declare your independence from your past, especially memories that oppress your sense of possibility and self-images that inhibit your urge to explore. 3. Declare your independence from peer pressure, groupthink, and conventional wisdom. 4. Declare your independence from your previous con- ceptions of freedom so that you’ll be free to come to a completely fresh understanding of it. your greatest assets, but it can also be a liability. Driven to seek beauty and harmony, you sometimes become blind to the messy truth. That’s why I was so pleased to get the following oracle when I consulted the ancient Chinese book of divination, the I Ching, on your behalf: “It is only when you have the courage to face things exactly as they are, without any self-deception or illu- sion, that a light will develop out of events by which the path to success may be recognized.” I interpret this to mean that you are about to temporarily suspend your idealism in order to see the messy truth, which will in turn lead you to an opportunity to prac- tice your idealism on a higher level. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The ancient Egyptian LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s prime time for you to acquire SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In their book An Incomplete Education, Judy Jones and William Wilson list the favorite colors of famous poets. T.S. Eliot loved eggplant, sable, and mustard. Wallace Stevens preferred vermilion, chartreuse, and wine, while Ezra Pound liked ivory and jade. In light of cur- rent astrological omens, which are nudging you in the direction of greater subtlety and precision, I urge you to draw inspiration from these poets’ lyrical tastes. Refine your definitions of your favorite everything, Scorpio: colors, smells, feelings, tastes, phys- ical sensations, tones of voice, types of wind, qualities of light — everything. creator god Ptah was regarded as a miracle worker, though sometimes he used unconventional means to accomplish his amazing feats. For example, legend held that he defeated a legion of Assyrian marauders with an army of rats. Waiting ’til the enemy soldiers were asleep, Ptah sent the rats into their camp to gnaw through their bowstrings and shield handles, rendering them defenseless. Can you imagine a way in which you might draw inspiration from the Egyptian god’s methods, Taurus? How could you win a great victory by summoning the help of an influ- ence you usually regard as a pest? GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Self-anointed “debunkers” rail against astrologers’ predictions, acting as if speculating about the future was a crime against rational thought. Meanwhile, economists, meteorologists, sportscasters, trend analysts, and political pundits are out there regularly mak- ing bad prognostications based on dubious data. In my opinion, they spread more delusion and cost people more money than those of us who divine cosmic omens. For example, the National Weather Service’s forecasts fail to anticipate more than half of all tornadoes and flash floods. But do debunkers denounce them as quacks? Never. Sorry for the rant, Gemini, but I have a prophetic point to make: Every single hypothesis about the future that you are aware of now and that you hear about in the next four weeks will be wrong — except, of course, this one. a pair of lucky pants. How will you know they’re lucky? Because they’ll endow you with an intuitive sense of where to walk in order to have adventures that’ll inspire you to see the big picture. It will also be a favorable week for you to rummage around in thrift stores until you find a pair of magic X-ray specs that’ll give you the power to perceive the secret motives of everyone you gaze upon. Wait! There’s one more piece of spooky good news. I predict you’ll soon have a vivid dream in which you explore what’s hidden below the tip of the iceberg. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I love it when I’m so energized and purified from riding my bike up Mt. Tamalpais that I experience a lightning bolt of realization about some crucial truth I’ve been hiding from myself. I love it when I’m walking through the city’s trash-spattered concrete jungle and am suddenly blessed with the fresh smell of dirt from a renegade garden. I love it when the pathological decisions of bad leaders inspire my tribe to redouble its commitment to fight for outrageous peace, ingenious love, and wild understanding. What about you, Virgo? Where do you look for your breakthroughs and redemptions? It’s time to be on high alert. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): During a 15-month-long period in 1888 and 1889, Vincent van Gogh churned out more than 200 works of art. In one 10-week stretch he produced an average of a picture a day. I predict that you will soon slip into a comparable phase, Sagittarius. Original ideas will come surging up into your awareness with such relent- less exuberance that you’ll be hard-pressed to catch them all. Quick: Decide where you want to channel all that prolific creativi- ty; don’t let it leak out wastefully. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Prize- winning gardener R.J. Harris has no interest in astrology or New Age notions. And yet, like generations of his family before him, he carefully monitors lunar cycles. Practical observation, not super- ACTIVE & GENUINE 39 y.o. independent femme/jock seeking slender, active, attractive partner-in-crime. 35-50 y.o. for possible LTR.

In his book, R.J. Harris’s Moon Gardening, he suggests sowing the seeds of below-ground crops right after the new moon. (Like now, for instance.) In the early days of the second quarter, he advises, plant seedlings and above-ground crops. (April 9-12.) At the outset of the fourth quarter (April 23), add fer- tilizer to the soil. Prune later in the fourth quarter. (April 28-30.) I happen to believe, Capricorn, that these same principles apply to your own growth. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’ve been following the progress of a patch of ground a mile from where I live. A year ago it was a grubby gully, a no-man’s land between two suburban McMansions. A ruined shack, long abandoned, stood at the bottom, imprisoned by thick underbrush. Six months ago, bulldozers arrived to clear away the thickets and raze the rotting wood structure. Three months ago, another crew arrived to contour the land and create a level spot for construction. Metaphorically speaking, Aquarius, that’s where you are in your life right now. Your next step is to do the equivalent of what hap- pened this past week, when the foundation was poured for a new home on the land that was once a grubby gully. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In accordance with astrological omens, I have selected two words that convey the role you’re best suited for in the coming week. The first is the Yiddish term tummler, derived from tumlen, to make a racket. A tummler stirs up a commotion, makes things happen, and incites people to action through his or her affectionate agitation. Clowning and pranks may be part of a tummler’s repertoire. Your second word of power, Pisces, is the Iroquoian ondinnonk. It has two related meanings: 1. a secret wish of the soul; 2. the angelic part of our nature that longs to do good deeds. Now here’s the punch line of your oracle: Let your ondinnonk guide you as you carry out your mission as a tummler. Send your visions and prophecies about the best imaginable out- come of the predicament we’re in. www.freewillastrology.com You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your EXPANDED WEEKLY HOROSCOPE: 1 - 9 0 0 - 9 5 0 - 7 7 0 0 • $1.99 per minute • Touchtone phone 18 & over • c/s 612-373-9785 34 APRIL 3, 2003
