BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Wabi-sabi is your guiding principle this week, Aries. It’s a Japanese term for a kind of beauty that’s imperfect, transitory, and incomplete. In his book Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets and Philosophers, Leonard Koren says wabi-sabi differs from the Western notion that beauty resides in things that are “monumental, spectacu- lar, and enduring.” It’s about “the minor and the hidden, the tentative and the ephemeral: things so subtle and evanescent they are almost invisible at first glance.” Be calmly eager for these small wonders, Aries. Let wabi-sabi be a magic spell that opens up the secret joys con- cealed within the passing moments of your everyday routine. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you’ve gone to college in the U.S., you’ve taken the SAT, a standardized test administered to high school students. Is it an accurate measure of intelligence? In a recent analysis, the Princeton Review determined that if the great Taurus writer, William Shakespeare, had submitted his “All the world’s a stage” speech for the essay section of the SAT, he would have flunked. Its language is too colorful. I suspect that you, too, may soon be judged or evaluated by one-dimensional minds, Taurus. Don’t take it personally. They’re simply not able to recognize and accommodate a soul as weighty as yours. Take their off-kilter response as a sign that you need to work harder to situate yourself in environments that fully appreciate you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I love my regular hikes to the top of idyllic Mohawk Hill. Green hills cascade in every direction. Horses graze in a nearby pasture. Red-tailed hawks soar overhead. But there is one blight: a gray metal storage structure surrounded by barbed- wire fence. At the climax of my ascent today, I rejoiced to find that this monstrosity had been improved. Artistic vandals had paid a visit, covering it with bright graffiti. The yellow, blue, and red designs were mostly indecipherable except for one patch that clearly said “Test Your Strength.” That brings me to the point of this week’s horoscope, Gemini. Your assignment is to carry out a legal version of what the vandals did: Bring dynamic, interesting disruption to a sterile, ugly scene, thereby testing your strength. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your symbol for the next four weeks will be the Great Wall of China. Centuries ago, it was a 4,000-mile-long defense system. In that respect, it was an apt metaphor for the formidable barriers you’ve built around yourself. But the modern version of the Great Wall is only one-third the size it once was, having been reduced over the centuries by people appropriating its stones for new building projects. This reduced state, I hope, is an apt metaphor for the way you’ll be dismantling your defense mechanisms between now and June 20. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I knew that my God was bigger than his,” bragged U.S. Army Lt. General William G. Boykin as he derided a Somalian guerrilla leader. “I knew that my God was a real God, and his was an idol.” I can’t vouch for the accuracy of Boykin’s assertion, but I do know this, Leo: According to my analysis of the cosmic omens, your Supreme Being really is stronger, sweeter, and sexier than everyone else’s Supreme Beings, at least temporarily. Frankly, your God could kick all the other Gods’ asses. I don’t advise you to sic Him on anyone, though — not even on the jerks who seem to deserve it. There’d be hell to pay later if you did. On the other hand, if you and your God show extra mercy and generosity in the coming weeks, you will accrue tremendous karmic credit, which you’ll be able to harvest beginning in August. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Can you wait a while to receive your vindication, recog- nition, and reward? I hope so. If you insist on your prize immediately, it will be unfinished, like a garland made of flowers that were picked before they bloomed. If you’re patient, on the other hand, fate will be able to fashion you a riper and more useful blessing. Do you need fur- ther motivation, Virgo? Here’s some. One of the weak spots in your mastery of the game of life has been a lack of good timing, but lately you’ve been getting better at sensing the arrival of the perfect moment. Let this growing skill grow a little more. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I don’t want to encourage you to be a lazy, crazy, hazy drifter who careens from chance encounter to chance encounter without any specific intention in mind … but I do want to invite you to be an adventure-chasing, dream-intoxicated, passion- awakening wanderer who glides from experiment to experiment armed with the goal of open- ing your mind as far it can safely go. Head in the direction of the best smells and most intrigu- ing mysteries, Libra. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your fresh dilemma is actually a twisted old predicament in disguise. It’s a bit prettier than it was the last time you saw it, but just as knot- ty. Please don’t underestimate it. If you imagine you can force it to disappear overnight, you’ll make bumbling decisions and awkward moves. If, on the other hand, you assume you’ll need steady, prolonged effort, you will attract excellent luck and unexpected help. Be a humble war- rior motivated not by hatred for the problem but by love for yourself. Desiree’s Escorts Without a doubt Eugene’s SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Let’s talk about repression and suppression. When you repress a difficult feeling or thought, you drive it so deeply into your unconscious mind that you forget about it. In effect, you hide it from yourself out of fear. And yet because this exiled material is of crucial importance, it refuses to remain buried. It ulti- mately re-emerges in disguise, often as an addiction or obsession, sometimes as an illness. Suppression, on the other hand, is a healthier mechanism. It involves you moving the problem- atic feeling or thought away from the center of your attention, but remaining aware of it. You’re not motivated by fear, but by the intention to deal with the challenge at a time of your choosing. In the coming week, Sagittarius, you’ll have to decide between repression and sup- pression. I hope you’ll pick the latter. HOTTEST GIRLS! 541.431.7065 PROFESSIONAL GENTLEMEN PREFERRED www.desireesescorts.com\ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Professional handicappers say the Sweet and Discreet odds are a billion-to-1 that any particular person will ultimately achieve sainthood, but a mere 70,000-to-1 that someone will be possessed by Satan. According to my reading of the cosmic signs, however, those figures won’t apply to you Capricorns in the coming weeks. I estimate that the odds of you flirting with diabolical forces will be 900 million-to-1, while the odds are 5- to-1 that you will perform services and bestow blessings that qualify you for sainthood. Are you ready to explore the frontiers of ingenious, over-the-top benevolence? Goodness is your superpower. An eXX X Xperience you won’t forget! FREE TRIAL MOST ★ LOCAL ★ WOMEN AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In his book Weird Ideas That Work, busi- ness consultant Robert Sutton advises companies to have as much commitment to creativity as to stability. That’s why, in his opinion, they should hire a few free thinkers who enjoy bucking the status quo and are willing to fight for their unique ideas. I think everyone would benefit from heeding that advice; we all need people in our lives who regularly push us to question our assumptions. You Aquarians especially need this influence right now. Do you know any good troublemakers you can call on to get your dogmas disrupted? If not, find one. Eugene 541-683-2999 Find Your Local Number PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It has taken eight centuries, but the Dutch people have added 3,000 square miles to their country. They accomplished this feat not through the conquest of neighboring nations but by building dikes and moving great amounts of water, gradually transforming parts of the sea into livable land. Their dogged effort is a good metaphor for the work I propose for you, Pisces. Think of your unconscious mind as the sea and your conscious mind as the land. Can you imagine what it would entail for you to turn some of those watery depths into solid ground where you can take a stand? Can you imagine the satisfaction of becoming fully aware of feelings and dreams and desires that are now hid- den from your view? 1-800-2 10-10 10 FREE Trial ✆ Code 3220 Homework: What good thing would you have to give up in order to get a great thing?
