PREGNANCY THROUGH POST-PARTUM
BY ROB BREZSNY
ARIES
(March 21-April 19): One of the most exu-
berant poets of the 20th century was James Broughton. “I
pray every night to wake up crazier,” he wrote. By that he
meant he wanted to become increasingly receptive to unpre-
dictable joy and pleasure. His knack for having a good time
didn’t mean he dodged the hard times, though. “Suffering
can’t be avoided,” he told interviewer Jack Foley. “The way
to happiness is to go into the darkness of yourself. That’s the
place the seed is nourished, takes its roots and grows up,
and becomes ultimately the plant and the flower. You can
only go upward by first going downward.” That’s the perfect
prescription for you in the coming days, Aries. (For more
Broughton and Foley, see
www.alsopreview.com/foley/jfbroughton.html.)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your word of
power this week is yua. It’s a term the Yupiit people of
Alaska use for the spirit that inhabits all things, both animate
and inanimate. A rock, for instance, has as much yua as a
caribou, spruce tree, or human being, and therefore merits
the same measure of compassion. If a Yupiit goes out for a
hike and spies a chunk of wood lying on a frozen river bank,
she might pick it up and put it in a new position, allowing its
previously hidden side to get fresh air and sun. In this way,
she would bestow a blessing on the wood’s yua. Try living
your life like this in the coming days, Taurus: as if absolutely
everything is alive, has a soul, and deserves your loving kind-
ness. (Thanks to Earl Shorris, “The Last Word,” Harper’s,
August 2000.)
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): “Goodies” is your
word of power this week, Gemini — though it could also be
your word of weakness. To ensure that it’s more the former
than the latter, meditate on the following three inquiries. 1.
Of all the goodies you want, which are the two most impor-
tant ones? 2. Do your flirtations with second-tier goodies
tend to undermine your pursuit of the first-tier ones? If so,
are you willing to wean yourself from those flirtations? 3. Do
you have any doubts about whether you truly deserve the
very best goodies? If so, what can you do to render the
doubts irrelevant?
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): In accordance
with the astrological omens, I’ve assembled a host of snappy
one-liners for you to wield in the coming week, Cancerian.
Sooner or later, it will make sense for you to utter every one
of them. 1. “It only seems kinky the first time.” 2. “Even if
the voices in my head aren’t real, they still have some good
ideas.” 3. “To make your prayers come true, you have to get
off your knees.” 4. “I’m the good kind of bad.” 5. “It’s not
really a party till something gets broken.” 6. “Shut up and
dance.” (P.S.: I don’t anticipate there’ll be any messy conse-
quences if you cultivate the attitude I’m suggesting here. But
in case there are, invoke this disclaimer: “I didn’t do it. You
can’t prove it. Nobody saw me.”)
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): Have you ever been burned
by bad religion? This is the week you could start getting rid
of the scorch marks. Have you ever been abused by an
authority figure who made you feel helpless? This is the time
to correct for the distortions that jerk wreaked in your psy-
che. Are you feeling tyrannized by a habitual response that
was once quite useful but isn’t appropriate any more? This is
a perfect moment to dissolve it.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Thirty-three-year-old
pop star Jennifer Lopez earned $29 million in 2003.
Presumably she shares some of her wealth with her mom,
Guadalupe. Cynical observers might therefore regard it as a
sign of divine favoritism that Guadalupe recently won a jack-
pot of $2.4 million while playing a slot machine at an Atlantic
City casino. I suspect you may be less hasty to jump to that
conclusion, though, since many of you Virgos are currently
being visited (or soon will be) with an equally ridiculous
amount of good luck. Don’t feel guilty about your blessings in
the least, please, even if they seem way beyond your fair
share. Lap them up.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): For years, Salt Lake
City was undisputed Jell-O champion on the world, with the
highest per capita consumption. But in 1999, Des Moines,
Iowa catapulted into the lead. In response, chef Scott
Blackerby staged a “Take Back the Jell-O Title” Recipe
Contest at his restaurant in Salt Lake, and thousands of
Utahans signed petitions that helped make Jell-O the official
snack of the state. Soon the city had retaken the top spot,
where it remains to this day. I hope this story serves to moti-
vate and inspire you in the coming days, Libra. It’s time for
you to reclaim a lost title or crown that you once possessed
and that really should belong to you again.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): On your bad
days, Scorpio, you’re like a swamp that serves as a weird
oasis in the midst of frozen tundra. On your good days, the
physical feature you correspond to most is an underground
river winding in a serpentine course beneath green, fertile
hills. But in the coming weeks you’ll be like a place you’ve
rarely resembled before: an unspoiled tropical beach where
the warm wild ocean meets the foot of a towering mountain.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Shopping for a new mission, Sagittarius? Or perhaps a new
branch of your old familiar mission? You should be. This is one
of those pivotal moments when heaven comes all the way
down to earth; when invisible allies from the other side of the
veil make an appearance; when age-old secrets briefly show
what they’re really made of. To aid your quest to glimpse your
best possible future, here’s advice that the sorcerer Don
Juan gave to his student, Carlos Castañeda: “Look at every
path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you
think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one
question. ‘Does this path have a heart?’ If it does, the path is
good; if it doesn’t, it is of no use.”
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In
ancient Greece, Apollo was a great sun god. Ruler of music
and healing, he had the power to vanquish darkness from the
human soul and transform chaos into energy. Pilgrims trav-
eled from afar to seek oracles at his main temple in Delphi.
Inscribed above the entrance of the temple was the maxim
“Know thyself.” No other words of wisdom are more impor-
tant for you to heed in the next six weeks, Capricorn. Getting
to know yourself better will be the best way to rouse your
own inner Apollo, thereby allowing you to tap into the fertility
of your unconscious chaos and harness the beauty of your
soul’s darkness.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I didn’t
feel your passion in my secret garden,” a celebrity judge told
an aspiring diva after her less-than-perfect singing perform-
ance on “The WB’s Superstar USA,” an “American Idol” paro-
dy. I’m afraid I’m going to have to borrow his words to
describe your recent efforts, Aquarius. All of us occasionally
fail to live up fully to our potential, and the recent past has
been your time of missing the mark. Now please don’t waste
your energy getting mad at me for delivering this knock.
Instead, channel that emotion into making sure you don’t
keep missing the mark. Conjure up the breakout passion that
we who love you will feel in our secret gardens.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): Here’s one of the
few universal truths I know: Everyone has a piece of the
truth, even those you disagree with. According to my reading
of the astrological omens, though, you are now in possession
of a giant piece of the truth — bigger than what you usually
have and bigger than everyone else’s piece. That’s exactly
why you should proceed cautiously. Your deep understanding
and authoritative knowledge might tempt you to dismiss the
tiny slivers of truth that other people are holding, and that
would be a mistake.
