If you’re a potter, it’s prime time to get a state-of-the-art ceramic saw. If you’re a political activist gearing up for a new direct- mail campaign against corporate corruption, you might consider buying the Utne Reader mailing list. And if you’re none of the above, Taurus, I suggest you acquire whatever tool will help you rise to the next level of professionalism in your chosen field. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When the bearded dragon lizard sits upright and cocks its head toward the heavens, Australian Aborigines know that rain will fall the next day. And when massive buds appear on the queen wattle plants, even the youngest members of the tribe can prophesy with confidence that brushfires will break out soon. I have a different system of signs, just as reliable, that tells me how to read your moods and trends, Gemini. For instance, last night I dreamed my oldest Gemini friend told me, “The bee fertilizes the flower it robs.” Because I have had the very same dream other times over the years, usu- ally late in the month of May, I have come to under- stand its predictive meaning: Many Geminis all over the world will soon commit a benevolent “theft.” CANCER (June 21-July 22): Soon the planet Saturn will enter the sign of Cancer, where it will remain until July of 2005.

You’re entering a phase when the educational possibilities are rich. To take advantage of them, you’ll have to match the high intensity and fertile imagination of your teachers. (P.S.

You’ll find it easier to calm your restless heart and commit yourself to a sin- gle choice out of the hundreds of options that interest you. Say goodbye to mediocre pleasures and mis- aligned priorities, my fellow Crab! In the next two years, you will attract unexpected help any time you stop fiddling around on the peripheries and head straight to the core of the matter. Best of all, you’ll finally figure out beyond a doubt where you truly belong — as opposed to being half-sure of where you sort of belong. pared these gifts to the power of the spoken Hawaiian language to open the heart and eyes of those who hear it. This time I propose several Hawaiian names for you to adopt as your own. They’re all in alignment with your evolving destiny. You are hereby authorized to call yourself Kaohinani, which means “gatherer of beautiful things.” You may also refer to yourself as Makaike, “to see with keen powers of observation;” or E’e’e, “to keep climbing over everything, as an active child;” or Wai-puhia, “wind-blown water, especially the spray of a waterfall.” (Thanks to the book Hawaiian Names, English Names, by Eileen Root.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): In 752 AD, the Japanese Empress Koken wrote a lyrical poem in praise of the eupatorium plant, whose leaves turn a vivid shade of yellow in summer. Recently, scientists punctured the illusion she was under, demonstrating that the lovely foliage of the eupatorium is caused by a disease virus. In my view, though, this shouldn’t diminish our appreciation of either the poem or the plant. I’ve noticed that a lot of the world’s beauty forms in response to a wound. In fact, I expect you’re in the midst of that very process right now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re primed to com- SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. mune much more intimately with the hidden source of 1991, hikers in the Italian Alps discovered the largely power that fuels your life. In fact, you’re close to meeting the requirements defined by visionary poet William Blake. He wrote: “Unless the eye catch fire, God will not be seen. Unless the ear catch fire, God will not be heard. Unless the tongue catch fire, God will not be named. Unless the heart catch fire, God will not be loved. Unless the mind catch fire, God will not be known.” Your eye, ear, tongue, and heart are on the verge of igniting, Leo. Do whatever’s necessary to make that happen, and your mind will burst into flame, too. intact body of a man who died 5,000 years ago. He’d been preserved in a glacier that had recently begun to melt. Since then, many women have asked to be given some of the iceman’s frozen sperm so that they might become pregnant by him. (The director of the museum where his body is kept has so far turned down all requests.) While I don’t recommend that you become one more seeker of this prehistoric insemination, Scorpio, I do suggest you pursue a metaphorically analogous quest in the coming weeks: Try to fertilize yourself through an intimate encounter with the past. VIRGO SAGITTARIUS (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): More than seven centuries before a few European men dared to sail beyond the safe boundaries of their known world, entire Polynesian families crossed vast expanses of the Pacific Ocean in catamarans. The first humans to arrive in Hawaii, they were led by “wayfinders.” These miracle workers navigated the uncharted seas by reading star positions, discerning weather patterns, and interpreting the ocean’s colors and movements. I want to make a connection between you and those pioneering souls, Virgo. In recognition of the brave, exploratory urges now ripening in you, I hereby give you the honorary title of “wayfinder.” (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): My acquaintance Jerry likes to play his guitar for the spinner dolphins that hang around Maui’s La Perouse Bay. They appreciate it. When he runs out of songs, he often joins them for a convivial swim. One day four months ago, a commotion at sea moved Jerry to interrupt his concert. Paddling out for a closer look, he found a woman swimmer surrounded by the dolphins. The normally friendly creatures had hemmed her in, as if herding her. But when their buddy Jerry showed up, they parted their tight circle to let him through, and he was able to escort the woman back to shore. The two hit it off instantly, began dating, and recently got married. Why am I (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Good news, telling you this, Sagittarius? Because I predict that like Libra: You will continue to be the beneficiary of expan- Jerry, you’ll soon receive extraordinary, maybe even sive cosmic energies. In last week’s horoscope, I com- non-human, help with your love life. LIBRA You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your EXPANDED WEEKLY HOROSCOPE: 1-900-950-7700 • $1.99 per minute • Touchtone phone 18 & over • c/s 612-373-9785 18): Our planet is running out of many essential resources, including fresh water and oil. Now the Weekly World News has reported yet another crucial shortage: the global supply of supermodels. “The orig- inal generation of supermodels is fading,” the paper says, “and very few new ones are coming along to replace them. Soon the supermodel as we know it may become extinct.” Can anything be done to avert this catastrophe-in-the-making? I’m not sure. But I do know that many of you Aquarians are exceptionally attractive right now, and likely to become even more so in the coming months. Might you therefore consider launching a career as a supermodel? At the very least, I suggest you look for ways to use your growing beau- ty to help save the world. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A cen- tury ago, the Hawaiian sugarcane industry required a ton of water to produce a pound of sugar. Since then, improvements in irrigation techniques have drastically reduced the excess. The ratio of water to sugar is now 1:1. In a similar development, it used to take me about 2,000 words of exploratory free-writing to arrive at a single 120-word horoscope. These days I typically have to churn out no more than 400 words in the process of distilling your weekly oracle. In yet another related development, Pisces, I predict you’ll soon make a com- parable move towards less waste and greater efficien- cy in your own area of expertise.
