BY ROB BREZSNY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The astrological omens
say it’s a favorable time for you to seek greater exposure and get
yourself noticed. But there are relatively bad ways and good ways
to proceed. Do not, for example, distribute nude photos of your-
self over the Internet, proclaim your mad love for an unavailable
genius in a full-page newspaper ad, or bust up a meeting with a
screaming tirade about how brilliant your ideas are and how stu-
pid everyone else’s are. Instead, try this: Spruce up your physical
appearance, stoke your charisma, improve your packaging, and
hire a marketing consultant.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): Sixty-six-year-old
Taurus actor Jack Nicholson is a paragon of receptivity. “I’m dying
to have my mind changed,” he told Esquire magazine. “I’m proba-
bly the only liberal who read Treason, by Ann Coulter. I like listen-
ing to everybody. This is the elixir of life.” Nicholson’s refreshing
declaration should be your words to live by in the next couple of
weeks, Taurus: It’s your astrological season of expansion and
experimentation. Don’t just grudgingly agree to open your eyes
and have your theories challenged. Learn to love the uncanny
stretching sensation.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I believe you should
draw your inspiration this week from the British graffiti artist
Bansky. He bought an unremarkable landscape painting at a flea
market and glued a police “Do Not Cross” tape onto it. Then, dis-
guised as a shuffling old man, he smuggled it into London’s presti-
gious Tate Museum and managed to hang it on a wall, where for a
while it was regarded as a legitimate work of art by visitors and
staff alike. Is there some place in your life that needs a compara-
ble touch of prankish levity, Gemini? Any overly dignified or formal
environment that could use the healing touch of a gentle lam-
poon?
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): The oldest woman
to have a number one pop song was Deborah Harry, born under
the sign of Cancer. She conquered the UK charts with “Maria”
when she was 53 years old. The world’s oldest astronaut was
another Crab, John Glenn, who flew on the space shuttle when he
was 77. Now you, too, have a chance to make history through suc-
cess in an activity that most people might regard as impossible or
inappropriate for someone your age. Don’t let anyone shame you
into shrinking from the challenge, whether you’re 25 and thinking
of entering a bubble-gum blowing contest or 65 and considering
the possibility of windsurfing down the Amazon River.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I really like a lot about “Suga
Suga,” a song by hip-hop artist Baby Bash. The rhythm is crafty,
the lead guitar line tasty, and the chorus melody infectious. I love
Baby Bash’s sinuous rap cadences and Franky J’s gorgeous
singing. The lyrics of “Suga Suga,” on the other hand, are vapid
and vulgar. And the video of the song is morally idiotic, depicting
men leering at a succession of surgically sculpted women who
dress and preen like android porn stars. Is there anything in your
life that you both love and hate, as I do “Suga Suga,” Leo? I’m
betting the answer’s an intense “yes!” What should you do about
it? Try to ignore the part you’re allergic to, or else abandon the
entire enterprise altogether? Don’t make a decision until at least
Feb. 1.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Pope Jean Paul II has
canonized 477 new saints, exceeding the total of the last 86 popes
combined. His secret? Previously, candidates had to have per-
formed three miracles, whereas now it’s two at most. Other saint-
makers have been inspired by the Pope’s example. The Church of
the Subgenius is creating an average of 2,100 new saints per year
(non-Catholic variety), while the Discordians are close behind with
1,875. I’m embarrassed to say that my own faith, the Temple of
Sacred Uproar and Rowdy Blessings, has been lagging far behind
— until now, that is. In honor of the miraculous feats of beauty,
truth, and love that “Free Will Astrology” — reading Virgos have
been pulling off lately, I hereby bestow sainthood on every one of
you. You may hereafter put a “St.” in front of your name.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Accountants are experts
about money that doesn’t belong to them. A scholar may read the
texts of mystical spiritual traditions but not be able to enter into
the sublime states of consciousness described therein. Please
refrain from getting into a relationship like this with the resources
you need, Libra. Don’t just study them; own them. Seek up-close
experiential immersion, not conceptual understanding from a dis-
tance.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Creativity comes
in a wide variety of forms, from the unruly originality of an avant-
garde music composer to the brilliant tactics of a four-year-old
manipulating his parents into buying him more toys. The creativity
you will specialize in during the coming weeks, Scorpio, is a cross
between that of an engineer building a bridge over a steep gorge
and a gadfly who prods two ancient enemies into sitting down to
talk. It will fit the description articulated by writer William Plomer:
“Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected.”
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Sagittarian Pudge Rodriguez is one of the best catchers in profes-
sional baseball. Last October, he played a major role in helping the
Florida Marlins win the World Series. His contract expired at the
end of the season, however, and he was insulted when the
Marlins proposed a future salary of only $8 million per year, a 20
percent reduction from the $10 million he earned in 2003. He
rejected the Marlins’ offer, and made his services available to
other teams. Though I admire his fierce pride, I urge the rest of
you Sagittarians to be less demanding. If you’re offered 8 million
of anything — hugs, gold stars, M&Ms, dollars — instead of the
10 million you wanted, definitely take the 8 million.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Following Castro’s revolution in 1959, 11-year-old Carlos Eire was
exiled forever from his beloved homeland of Cuba. Raised in
America, he became a Yale professor, but never lost his yearning
for paradise lost. His recent memoir, Waiting for Snow in Havana,
recounts his cherished memories. “In the past 38 years,” he
wrote, “I’ve seen 8,917 clouds in the shape of the island of Cuba.”
What’s your equivalent, Capricorn? A missing treasure you’re
reminded of whenever you gaze upon the ripples in a lake? A fugi-
tive dream that floats across your mind’s eye as you’re falling
asleep? I predict you will be united with it in 2004. A crucial point-
er will arrive soon. Watch the clouds.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In a recent
speech, “Boondocks” comic strip creator Aaron McGruder said
that if liberals want to regain power in America, they’ll have to
learn to be meaner. Leftist singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco echoed
the theme in an interview in Indie Culture magazine. “It’s our job
to help and inspire each other,” she mused, “but I don’t think that
all my songs have to be about nature and children and love and
hugging. There are ways of helping people by expressing anger.” I
almost always advise you to err on the side of compassion and
kindness, Aquarius. But this is a perfect moment to take
McGruder’s and DiFranco’s words to heart. It’s crucial that you
find ways to creatively and constructively channel your sacred
rage at what’s wrong in your world.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): In hopes of helping
you fully claim the rising levels of goodies and self-confidence that
are now available, I urge you to sing or chant the following rant
ten times a day for the next two weeks. “All I ever wanted in life
was to make a difference, be worshipped like a god, conquer the
universe, travel the world, meet interesting people, find the miss-
ing link, fight the good fight, live for the moment, seize each day,
make a fortune, know what really matters, end world hunger, van-
quish the dragon, be super popular but too cool to care, be mas-
ter of my own fate, embrace my destiny, feel as much as I can
feel, give too much, and love everything.” (Thanks to Tatsuya
Ishida at www.sinfest.com for dreaming up this set of affirma-
tions.)
