ASTROLOGY Week of August 21
ROB BREZSNY’S
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Warning! The
following statements may pop into your head with
annoying frequency in the coming week: “Nobody
sees me for who I really am.” “Life is a bitch.”
“Sooner or later, everyone will find out how I’ve
been faking it all these years.” “I’ll never have
enough money.” “I’m afraid to change even when I
know the change will be good.” Now listen closely,
Aries: All those ideas are dirty lies. I don’t believe in
the devil, but if I did I’d say it was he who planted
them in your mind. How can you fight back? Wage a
ferocious campaign of positive self-talk. Barrage
yourself with uplifting affirmations like these: “I
face my fears with joyous courage.” “I turn appar-
ent setbacks into juicy opportunities.” “I answer
every criticism with a vow to be my best.” “I am an
amazingly gorgeous genius with unimaginable tricks
up my sleeve.”

REIKI & MASSAGE
Reiki energy comes through the practitioner’s hands when put
on strategic places on the body such as organs and glands.
Through day to day stress these areas become overheated and
overactive, leading to anxiety and or illness. Reiki can also
assist the energy field in the body with proper
movement. A luxurious full body massage is
included in the Reiki treatment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I’m not
necessarily suggesting you need a new soul mate.
But if you do, this is the perfect astrological moment
to go in search of one. Where should you look? I
suggest you hang out in unfamiliar territory where
you will be fresh and curious — frontier zones
where you’re likely to uncover secrets about who
you really are. For fastest results, visit the Costco
Soulmate Trading Outlet www.thespoon.com/cost-
co/, a clearinghouse for soul mates at the Burning
Man festival in the Nevada desert from Aug. 25-31.
It offers “quality name-brand and private-label soul
mates at substantially lower prices than can be
found through conventional wholesale sources.” P.S.
If you’re happy with your existing soul mate, infuse
your bond with a concentrated dose of smart, loving
creativity. It’s a perfect moment to propel your-
selves into the next phase of your evolution together.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Robust
singing skill is correlated with a strong immune sys-
tem in songbirds. Male birds with the most exten-
sive repertoire of tunes also have the largest
spleens, a key measure of immune system health.
No studies have yet been done on humans. But if
there is a similar link, I expect you will be crooning
with unrivaled beauty and power in the coming days.
The astrological omens say you are currently at the
peak of your ability to fight off bugs and adversaries
of all kinds, including both the physical and psychic
varieties.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): So begins
the information-gathering phase of your yearly cycle,
Cancerian. You’ll align yourself with the cosmic ebb
and flow whenever you engage in activities that
excite your love of learning and enhance your skills
as a student of life. Here’s a gem from poet Heather
McHugh to inspire your quest: “The knowledge I’m
interested in is not something you buy and then have
and can be comfortable with. The knowledge I’m
interested in keeps opening wider and wider, making
me smaller and more amazed, until I see I cannot
have it all — and then delight in that as a freedom.”
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Please muse a minute
on the title of a book by Susan Harrow: Selling
Yourself Without Selling Your Soul: A Woman’s
Guide to Promoting Herself, Her Business, Her
Product, or Her Cause with Integrity and Spirit. I
suggest you either consult this invigorating set of
instructions, which works for men, too, or else cre-
ate your own version of it. The astrological omens
reveal you’re primed to receive fresh intuitions
about how to make money from doing what you love.
(P.S. I don’t know Harrow personally and have no
financial stake in her book.)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “You have to
recognize the demons or else they’ll annoy you like
mosquitoes,” poet James Broughton told interview-
er Jack Foley. “But if you acknowledge their exis-
tence, if you say, ‘All right, here’s a cookie, go sit in
the corner,’ then you can go about your work and
you don’t have to go into depression because of it.”
I suggest you follow Broughton’s advice, Libra.
Neither ignore nor over-indulge those pesky voices
in your head.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Big
Texas Steak Ranch restaurant in Amarillo, Tex., has
a standing offer to its customers: If you can eat its
four and a half pound steak in an hour without get-
ting sick, the meal is free. Oh, and you’ve also got
to finish the side dishes — salad, shrimp cocktail,
baked potato, and roll. Only about one in six brave
souls succeeds at the test. Given your tribe’s cur-
rent astrological omens, however, I think five out of
six Scorpios could win the bet this week. Your
appetite — not just for food, but for pleasure, wis-
dom, adventure, and self- transformation — is gar-
gantuan.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): History is littered with the stories of people
who didn’t have sufficient funds to manifest their
brilliant ideas. Mahlon Loomis was one. Guglielmo
Marconi is known as the inventor of the radio, but
Loomis created a wireless telegraph system two
years before Marconi was even born. Unable to get
financial backing, however, Loomis could not devel-
op his innovation, and it remained a virtual secret.
I’m hoping, Sagittarius, that this story will prod you
into realizing how important it is to feed your own
dreams with all the money they deserve. Don’t let
them languish in the realm of fantasy.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
This Saturday I’ll leave for a visit to my version of
paradise: the Burning Man festival in the Nevada
desert. For eight utopian days, I’ll need no money
and see no advertisements or TV. Exuberant works
of art, erected in abundance throughout the seven-
square-mile expanse, will feed my imagination.
Half-naked dancing revelers who share my political
and spiritual views will greet me everywhere I go.
I’ll do workshops and performances for people who
appreciate my peculiar brand of crazy wisdom. I
bring this up, Capricorn, because I think you would
benefit from a similar escape. It’s a perfect
moment to make a pilgrimage to the place you con-
sider heaven on earth.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Bach’s “St. Matthew Passion” is one of the most
highly regarded musical compositions in history. Yet
the score disappeared and the work was never
played for many years after Bach’s death in 1750.
In 1829, composer Felix Mendelssohn rediscovered
the long-lost manuscript being used as wrapping
paper in the estate sale of a deceased cheese
salesman. He arranged for a public performance of
the piece, and its revival began. In the coming
week, Aquarius, I predict you’ll have a taste of the
amazed and confounded joy Mendelssohn must
have experienced. In an unlikely place with seem-
ingly low value, you will find a neglected treasure.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your
thought for the week comes from French writer
Alexander Dumas. “If you give the impression that
you need something, you will get nothing,” he said.
“To make money you have to appear to be rich.”
The best way to get what you desire, in other
words, is to be confident that you deserve it. Don’t
dwell on how needy you are; don’t let yourself
become a morass of aching deficiency. This doesn’t
mean you should water down the intensity of your
longing. Indeed, passionate yearning is essential
for bountiful satisfaction. But make sure your
intense longing is propelled by a certainty that you
will ultimately be fulfilled.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Question: What
form of entertainment would be most likely to cure
your brain cramps? Answer: watching the demolition
of an old building. Question: What lucky break could
ensure you won’t keep missing the forest for the
trees? Answer: finding a bird’s nest. Question: What
soul medicine would be most effective in giving you
access to your repressed intuition? Answer: reading
mythic tales of resurrection. Question: What is the
hardest yet most rewarding possible lesson you
could learn right now? Answer: how to whistle with
two fingers. Question: Where can you find a portal
to another dimension? Answer: in your bedroom.
