ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re at the peak of your
CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the weeks leading
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you believe there is such
ability to explore the mysteries of shapeshifting. If you’re of a mysti-
cal or shamanic bent, I encourage you to try out a variety of animal
identities in your meditations and lucid dreams. If you’d prefer an
earthier approach, you could incorporate the wild intelligence of a
favorite creature into your daily behavior. How about a fox? Its influ-
ence could assist you in cultivating sly ambition, a worthy project for
you in the coming days.
up to the Academy Awards ceremony, Oscar nominees are called on
to talk about themselves endlessly. Because of the nonstop parties
they attend, they must cultivate a tolerance to extreme levels of inter-
esting fun. Maybe most challenging of all, they’ve got to flaunt their
stylish charisma with almost superhuman intensity. In the three
weeks before the big night this year, for instance, actress René
Zellweger wore 40 different dresses. And what does this have to do
with you? Although you normally have little in common with film stars,
that should change in the coming days. You have astrological license
to talk about yourself far more than usual, experience a high degree
of fascinating fun, and array yourself in a variety of vivacious clothes.
a thing as the human soul? If not, you should stop reading right now;
I’ll talk with you again next week. But if you do believe, how would
you define it? More importantly, what does your own soul feel like? I
suggest that in the coming week you make frequent attempts to tune
in to that elusive essence. Use all your ingenuity and persistence as
you try to create a stronger bridge between your everyday aware-
ness and your heart source, your seed code, your eternal song.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Esquire magazine
quoted a renowned astronomer’s surprising idea about the origin of
the cosmos. “The big bang is so preposterous,” said Allan Sandage,
“and the chain of events it set off so unlikely, that it makes most
sense when thought of as a ‘miracle.’” For the sake of argument,
Taurus, let’s assume Sandage is right. If the beginning of the uni-
verse itself was a miracle, then everything in it is impregnated with
the possibility of smaller but equally marvelous miracles. All of which
is apropos for your life in the coming week. I believe you’re now
primed to birth an amazing feat that your rational mind might find
hard to believe.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The task you have ahead
of you, Gemini, has a resemblance to — well, wait a minute; before I
go on, I should warn you that the following reference is rather
graphic. Proceed only if you’re not easily offended and have a supple
sense of humor. Anyway, as I was saying, the task ahead of you has
a resemblance to carrying out the artificial insemination of a rhinoc-
eros. “But it’s impossible to artificially inseminate a rhino!,” you may
be saying. Well, no, it’s not. In fact, with the help of a tool invented by
scientists, zookeepers all over the world are regularly doing it nowa-
days. Likewise, you have a new metaphorical tool that will make it
feasible — not easy, but feasible — to do the metaphorical equiva-
lent.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): Many scholars believe the original
Garden of Eden was where Iraq stands today. Though remnants of
that ancient paradise survived into modern times, many were obliter-
ated recently. One of my spies who lives near the confluence of the
Tigris and Euphrates Rivers has kept me posted on the fate of the
most famous remnant: the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Until
a few weeks ago, it was a gnarled stump near Nasiriyah; but today a
crater is all that remains. This can serve as an evocative symbol for
you as you tackle your big assignment for the rest of 2003, Leo:
Completely demolish your old ideas about paradise so that you can
conjure a fresh new vision of it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): One of my early astrology
teachers, Isabel Hickey, had a favorite saying: “Before you can give
yourself away, you have to have a self to give.” This should be your
seed meditation for the foreseeable future, Virgo. I am not implying
that you don’t have a self. But you do have a lot of work to do to
define and strengthen your sense of who you are. In the coming
weeks, I’d love you to visualize a flame in your heart growing steadily
bigger and brighter and hotter.

SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In my astrological
opinion, it’s a perfect time to introduce more experimentation into
your most promising relationship. To stimulate your imagination, here
are a few ideas you and your companion might want to try together.
1. Go outside just after midnight, wail five loud cock-a-doodle-doos,
then run back inside before you’re caught. 2. Describe to your friend
or partner a detailed vision of his or her best possible future. Ask for
the same treatment in return. 3. Borrow the approach of the reli-
gions that have rituals of eating their gods. Buy a pastry that makes
your mouths water, perform a ceremony in which you invite a divine
spirit to enter into it, then slowly devour it while gazing in each
other’s eyes.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A
month ago my Sagittarian friend adorned her car with her first-ever
bumper sticker, “Give Yourself to Love.” While proud of announcing
her compassionate philosophy to the world, she was also nervous.
Hadn’t she raised the pressure on herself to live up to her noble
ideals? A week later, she snapped. A guy gabbing on a cell phone in
an SUV cut her off in traffic, and road rage moved her to give him a
middle-finger salute. Next day she added a new bumper sticker to
the left of the first: “Get In, Sit Down, Shut Up, Hold On.” When I
asked her about the contradiction, she confessed, “I’ve just accepted
that I’ve got a split personality.” Today brought a further develop-
ment. She pasted the word “and” to the space between the two
stickers, to create a new thought: “Get In, Sit Down, Shut Up, Hold
Week of April 24
On, and Give Yourself to Love.” She called to tell me the good news:
“I’m whole again!”
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are
other people luckier than you? If so, you can do something about it,
according to psychologist Richard Wiseman. His book, The Luck
Factor, presents research that proves you can learn to be lucky. It’s
not a mystical force you’re born with, in other words, but a habit you
can develop. How? For starters, be open to new experiences, trust
your gut wisdom, expect good fortune, see the bright side of chal-
lenging events, and master the art of maximizing serendipitous
opportunities. I mention this, Capricorn, because you’re now in a
phase when you can make tremendous progress in enhancing your
capacity to attract luck.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This may sound
strange and improbable, but my inside sources swear it’s true: If
you’d like to stay out of hot water, metaphorically speaking, you
should literally immerse yourself in hot water more than usual in the
coming week. In other words, you can stir up a protective, benevo-
lent magic by taking a lot of long baths, soaking in hot tubs, and play-
ing around in warm swimming pools. And if there’s any way you can
get away to a hot spring for a day or two, you’ll virtually ensure that
trouble won’t be able to find you.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): On certain occasions, I
encourage you to sacrifice your own needs for the sake of others’, or
try to heal their wounds before you attend to your own. But this is
not one of those times. It wouldn’t be in alignment with the cosmic
mojo. What, then, would be the most righteous course of action?
Here’s what I think: Rouse your most imaginative brilliance as you
dream up ways to be really good to yourself. Shower yourself with
gifts, treats, and blessings. Take all that tender loving care you’re so
skilled at administering to others, and bestow it on yourself.
Tell how America’s invasion of Iraq made you a better person.
