ASTROLOGY Week of August 7
ROB BREZSNY’S
(March 21-April 19): Fifty years ago
prophets believed we’d all be working no more than 32
hours a week by now. Some predicted we’d have as many
as 220 days off a year, devoting just 145 to earning our
daily bread. What went wrong? Most of us are putting in
more hard labor than our grandparents did. But if you
want to be faithful to current astrological mandates,
Aries, you will spend the next few weeks doing every-
thing you can to bring your life into closer alignment
with the old prophecy. The naked fact of the matter is
that you need more playtime.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “You may

enjoy this movie if you shut down enough brain cells. I
turned off all except the ones needed to remember
where I parked my car.” This observation comes from a
critic’s evaluation of the first Charlie’s Angels film, but
I’ve read similar comments in many other reviews.
Indeed, it’s an approach that many intelligent people
employ routinely in response to all the loud, shiny
garbage our culture foists on us. What about you,
Taurus? Do you assume you have to make yourself
dumber in order to have fun? Has the blaring inanity of
the world caused you to shut down your smart sensitivi-
ty? If so, work hard to reverse this trend in the coming
week. You’ll receive help from unexpected sources if you
do.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You and I and
everyone else in the world talk to ourselves constantly.
The conversation is mostly silent and covert, however.
As a result, we get away with abusing ourselves; we
assail ourselves with mean thoughts that we’d be far
less likely to fling if we actually spoke them aloud. The
astrological omens suggest that now is a perfect time
for you to break this bad habit. In fact, I’m going to offi-
cially declare that it’s Speak More Kindly to Yourself
Week. For best results, shun the usual telepathic com-
munion with yourself. Instead, say every word aloud as
you carry on your dialogues. (P.S. You may want to con-
sult the book What to Say When You Talk to Yourself, by
Shad Helmstetter.)
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Dear Rob:
In a recent column, I think you mentioned a book that
dealt with making everyday tasks more spiritual. I’m
gung-ho to do exactly that: give thanks before I eat,
wake up laughing, bless the ground I walk on, notice
with joyful appreciation the divine bounty that overflows
in ordinary moments. Can you direct me to the book in
question? — Grateful Crab” Dear Grateful: You must
have dreamed it. Not since I touted Thomas Moore’s
Care of the Soul in 2000 have I made reference to any
such a book. To tell you the truth, though, you don’t need
authorities to guide you right now. Your intuition will lead
you unerringly in your quest to find sacred mojo in the
smallest details.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I advise you to avoid
ingesting rocket fuel in the coming days. That means you
should be careful about eating lettuce grown in Southern
California. Much of it contains high levels of perchlorate,
a main ingredient of rocket fuel. (The Environmental
Working Group says it’s because defense contractor
Lockheed Martin has been dumping the stuff in the
Colorado River.) In any case, Leo, you won’t even need
metaphorical rocket fuel. Cosmic forces are conspiring
to boost your physical energy and mental agility to
record levels.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Mata
Amritanandamayi is one of India’s most beloved gurus.
Also known as Amma, she preaches no doctrine but
believes all religions lead to the same goal. Her renown
has grown largely through the power and quantity of her
embraces. She travels from city to city doling out hugs,
often more than a thousand a day. Since she launched
her mission as a young girl, she claims to have hugged
21 million people. Amma is your role model for the com-
ing week, Virgo. The astrological omens suggest you’ll be
most likely to thrive if you suspend all your spiritual the-
ories and ideological opinions and become a pure chan-
nel for unconditional love. Try to hug at least 20 people.
For extra credit, do 40.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): George Washington
was afflicted with smallpox, malaria, pleurisy, consump-
tion, amoebic dysentery, rotten teeth, and Kleinfelter’s
syndrome. That didn’t stop him from accomplishing feats
that earned him a place in the history books. I suggest
you make him your patron saint in the coming weeks,
Libra. Draw inspiration from his heroic ability to overcome
personal discomfort. You’re in a prime position to render
months of suffering irrelevant with a decisive triumph.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1914,
the science magazine Nature found that 30 percent of the
world’s top scientists believed in God. In a second survey
in 1934, the number dropped to 15 percent, and by 1998
it was seven percent. From these data, we can speculate
that it’s getting harder for smart intellectuals to com-
mune with the Divine Wow the way we smart mystics do.
That’s a damn shame. Luckily for you, though, Scorpio,
you’re now in an unusual phase in which there’s no con-
tradiction between cultivating both rigorous critical think-
ing and an intimate relationship with the nine-tenths of
reality that is hidden from our five senses.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
The most venerated object in Islam is the Kaaba, a large
cube in a mosque in Mecca. Lodged in a corner of the
Kaaba is its most sacred part, a black stone surrounded
by an oval silver structure. Muslims kiss it at the climax
of their pilgrimage to Mecca. Astrologer Caroline Casey
points out that this holy of holies has the shape of a
vulva, and suggests that it reveals Islam’s unconscious
yearning for the Goddess. That’s ironic for a male-domi-
nated religion, which, like Judaism and Christianity, has
suppressed the feminine aspects of the divine. I offer
this vignette as a starting point for this week’s medita-
tions, Sagittarius. What feminine aspects of the divine do
you unconsciously long for and need? How can you bring
more of their influence into your life?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Frank O’Hara’s poem “Meditations in an Emergency” is
mostly a meandering, self- indulgent mess, but it con-
tains three lines that should inspire you for weeks. I sug-
gest you regard them as pithy teachings. Here they are.
1. “Each time my heart is broken it makes me feel more
adventurous.” 2. “I am the least difficult of men. All I
want is boundless love.” 3. “It is easy to be beautiful; it
is difficult to appear so.” By the way, Capricorn, O’Hara’s
poem is a microcosm of your immediate future, when
small but valuable treasures will be embedded in heaps
of useless nonsense.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Last
year Nigerian women launched a new form of protest
against the U.S.-owned oil company that wreaked envi-
ronmental havoc in their country: They threatened to get
naked in public. During the invasion of Iraq, several
groups of American women, inspired by the Nigerians,
registered their dissent through mass nudity. More
recently, Mexican farmers stripped to their underpants
during a demonstration against their government’s poli-
cies. From an astrological perspective, it’s a perfect time
for you Aquarians to further develop this new tradition.
Take off your clothes to those you oppose! Or if that’s too
extreme, try the metaphorical equivalent: Disarm your
adversaries not by attacking them but by expressing your
vulnerability.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Every Thursday
night I roll my trashcan to the curb so that the sanitation
engineers can pick it up next morning. Usually it’s three-
quarters full of garbage bags and requires no special
treatment. But on some weeks I generate more than my
normal share of refuse. To fit it in, I have to become a
human trash compactor. I grab a low-slung branch from
the persimmon tree, pull myself up, and lower myself
down inside the trashcan, jumping up and down to com-
press the load and make room for more. I hope I can
serve as an inspiration for you this week, Pisces. By my
astrological reckoning, you should gather, compress, and
throw away at least six months’ worth of outworn junk,
including both the psychic and physical varieties.
