Meanwhile, my acupuncturist’s cousin, also an Aries, is hoping to become the first full-time clown in Antarctica; he has a patron who works for a British survey team there. Another Aries I know is a psychotherapist who’s seeking to donate his services in the civil war-torn Congo. I nominate them all to be your role models. It’s time for you to consider plying your best skills in places you’ve never imagined might need them. a gorgeous spring day a few weeks ago, my companion acci- dentally left her purse beneath the Western world’s biggest Buddha statue at a serene Buddhist mission near a Maui beach. Whoever found it chose not to return it. In contrast, on a chilly night last January, I lost my wallet on a litter-strewn street in a San Francisco slum. The woman who found it spent an hour on the phone until she tracked me down, then drove 20 miles to deliver it to me personally. The moral of the story, as far as it applies to you in the coming week, Cancerian: It’s preferable to lose something of value in a poor, homely place than in a rich, beautiful place. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ancient Hawaiians had a sport they called “Lele Kawa,” in which they dived off cliffs into the ocean. “Pu’u Keka’a,” a tall volcanic cinder cone in West Maui, was a perfect place from which to jump, but everyone avoided it. Legend held it was a taboo place: “the leaping place of the soul,” where the souls of the recently dead left the earth and ascended into the spirit world. But that all changed one day in the 19th century when a great warrior, King Kaheliki, climbed to the top of Pu’u Keka’a and plunged into the sea, shattering the taboo and mutating the myth. Since then, hundreds of other divers have tried it. By my reck- oning, Taurus, you now have the courage and daring to make a comparable shift in the way things have always been done in your sphere. Ready to shatter a taboo and mutate a myth? GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Mokuola is a small island off the coast of the big island of Hawaii. In the old days it was reputed to have curative powers. Seekers who went there in quest of healing had to help stir up the magic, though; they couldn’t just lie back and expect the spirits of the place to do all the work. One way a visitor could ensure a long life, according to legend, was to swim underwater around the island three times. This emphasis on a participatory style of healing parallels a situation in your life, Gemini. Although you’re now within reach of a rejuvenating influence, you’ll have to collaborate with it aggressively in order to coax out its full benefits. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Even on Hawaii’s most elegant beaches, the water can be wild. Rip currents and rogue waves come out of nowhere, sweeping swimmers out to sea. Local inhabitants echo what the travel guides warn: Never turn your back on the ocean. In general, it’s a good idea to observe simi- lar caution when dealing with any elemental force of nature. Having said that, though, I’ll note that this is one of those rare times when you Leos could actually get away with turning your back on the ocean, metaphorically speaking. Maybe that’s because you yourself are, at least for now, an elemental force of nature. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your sense of mission should be heating up, Virgo. Your tribe needs you more than usual. Your potential is ripening at the same time it is becom- ing most useful to your cohorts. But wait: That doesn’t mean your path will be effortless in the coming weeks. There will be adversaries and agents of confusion you’ll have to outwit. In order to be a radiant instigator of beauty and truth for your allies and a cagey master of strategy when dealing with your competitors, I recommend the paradoxical approach Jesus described: Be as pure and harmless as a dove and as wise as a serpent.

She loves the sensuous things in life: good wine, good food. She has an ear for good conversation. Also, loves music from jazz to a bit of disco, ‘cuz the girl can dance! Looking for SPM, 40-50, with sim- ilar likes. NS, ND. Flexibility and warm spirit a must. ☎ 8263 IN YOUR FACE I’m looking for a face with: smile lines from belly laughs, crow’s feet from compassion, forehead lines from deep thinking & lip creases from extraordinary amounts of kissing. Spirituality = extra points. I’m small, smart & sexy. ☎ 8261 scope in Maui, where I’ve fallen in love with the Hawaiian lan- guage. It doesn’t matter that I don’t understand the literal meaning of many Hawaiian words. Their melodious, expansive rhythms have a magical effect that’s both soothing and stimu- lating. While listening to a native speaker, I find myself per- ceiving my surroundings more vividly. My defense mechanisms subside, my heart opens, and I relax into a more receptive relationship with the whole world. I predict that a similar mood will soon bless you, Libra, whether or not you hear Hawaiian. Expect a long surge of empathetic curiosity. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I know a sailor who was aboard a submarine that bombed Iraq with cruise missiles last March. He said that in the days leading up to the attacks, the crew’s regular entertainment hour featured a steady diet of porn videos authorized by the top brass. The sailor figured this was a weird form of motivational psychology meant to pump up the testosterone levels of his fellow war- riors as they prepared to unleash America’s destructive fury. He felt terribly conflicted about it. While he believed then and still believes that the war on Iraq was the right thing to do, he hated this pathological approach to psyching up the troops. He refused to watch the porn and tried to talk other sailors into boycotting it. In the spirit of his integrity, Scorpio, I urge you to renounce the philosophy that the end justifies the means. You can’t afford to do bad things while following your heart. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Many of you Sagittarians have a tortured relationship with dis- cipline. You know you need it if you hope to fill your life with epic adventure. But you sometimes resist planning ahead and marshalling your resources, feeling that would interfere with having a more immediate, short-term fun. Trouble is, though, when you avoid planning and marshalling, the short-term fun you get caught up in is often trivial and unsatisfying. That’s the bad news. Here’s the good news: You’re in a phase when you can make a dramatic shift in your relationship to discipline, ren- dering most of what I just said irrelevant. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Suggested reading list for the coming weeks: 1. Dealing with People You Can’t Stand: How to Bring Out the Best in People at Their Worst, by Rick Brinkman and Rick Kirschner. 2. Never Be Lied To Again, by David Lieberman. 3. Cut the Clutter and Stow the Stuff, by Lori Baird. 4. Everything You Know Is Wrong, by Russ Kick. 5. You’re a Genius — And I Can Prove It!, by Kimberly Kassner. 6. Journal entries or notes you wrote to yourself between March and May, 2001. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re entering puberty again! Congrats! It’ll be on a higher octave than last time, so you’ll have more savvy to deal with the hor- monal rush. To facilitate this unpredictable foray into serious goofiness, I’m happy to present you with the wisdom of sixth grade girls I know, gleaned from sayings they’ve scrawled on their backpacks and binders. Enjoy. Understand the groove. Learn as if you’ll live forever. Explain yourself wildly, not care- fully. Wake up — but not too fast, or you might hurt yourself. Question authority, including the authority that told you to question authority. It’s all so funny — how can you not be laughing? When you shout “halaluya,” never spell it right. Live the freakiest truth. Give me chocolate or I’ll scream. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A German woman who recently died bequeathed her nephew $275,000. Trouble is, he’s a homeless man who wanders around a lot. Executors of the woman’s will have not yet been able to locate him. This resembles a situation in your own life, Pisces. Even now, a rich source of blessings is trying to track you down and attract your attention. So far you’ve been oblivious. Let’s hope you wake up to the presence of the gift very soon. Homework: Make a list of your five top pleasures, then go out and find a brand new one to be number six. Testify at www.freewillastrology.com.
