Wherever you are, Taurus, I suggest you use this as an excuse to achieve new levels of mastery in the art of partying. Of all the signs of the zodiac, you’re the one that is most in need of and most deserv- ing of getting immersed in rowdy festivities that lead to maximum release and relief. To get you in the right mood, read these thoughts from literary critic Mikhail Bakhtin. He said a celebration like this is a “temporary liberation from the prevailing truth and from the estab- lished order,” and encourages “the suspension of all hierarchical rank, privileges, norms, and prohibitions.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When Bob Dylan fi rst heard the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, he only made it through the fi rst few tunes. “Turn that shit off!” he said. “It’s too good!” He was afraid his own creative process might get intimidated, maybe even blocked, if he allowed himself to listen to the entire masterpiece. I suspect the exact opposite will be true for you in the coming weeks, Gemini. As you expose yourself to excellence in your chosen fi eld, you’ll feel a growing motivation to express excellence yourself. The in- spiration that will be unleashed in you by your competitors will trump any of the potentially defl ating effects of your professional jealousy. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Jungian storyteller Clarissa Pinkola Estes says one of her main infl uences is the Curanderisma healing tradition from Mexico and Central America. “In this tradition a story is ‘holy,’ and it is used as medicine,” she told Radiance magazine. “The story is not told to lift you up, to make you feel better, or to entertain you, although all those things can be true. The story is meant to take the spirit into a descent to fi nd something that is lost or missing and to bring it back to consciousness again.” You need stories like this, Cancerian, and you need them now. It’s high time to recover parts of your soul that you have neglected or misplaced or been separated from. (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ve been pretty smart lately, but I think you could get even smarter. You have spied secrets in the dark, and 38 MARCH 3, 2011 EUGENE WEEKLY Need to be inspired, challenged, educated! Cave diving in the Caribbean? Rock hunting? Comic-con’s, LARP Games!

Me: Woman. #901986 BY ROB BREZSNY (March 21-April 19): “The most fundamental form of human stupidity is forgetting what we were trying to do in the fi rst place,” said Friedrich Nietzsche. So for instance, if you’re the U.S. government and you invade and occupy Afghanistan in order to wipe out al-Qaeda, it’s not too bright to continue fi ghting and dying and spending obscene amounts of money long after the al-Qaeda presence there has been eliminated. (There are now fewer than 100 al-Qaeda fi ghters in that country: tinyurl.com/forgetwhy.) What’s the equivalent in your personal life, Aries? What noble aspiration propelled you down a wind- ing path that led to entanglements having nothing to do with your original aspiration? It’s time to correct the mistake. LEO ~WOLFRIDER CHIEFTESS/ INDIE-PUNK~ EASYGOING CHRISTIAN. TIME FOR ADVENTURE Interest in women for the first time and would like to explore/ Making friends, I love to meet new people.

When: Saturday, January 22, 2011. Where: eweb. You: Man. Me: Woman. #901992 teased out answers from unlikely sources, and untangled knots that no one else has had the patience to mess with — and yet I suspect there are even greater glories possible for you. For inspiration, Leo, memorize this haiku-like poem by Geraldine C. Little: “The white spider / whiter still / in the lightning’s fl ash.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I wouldn’t try to stop you, Virgo, if you wanted to go around singing the Stone Roses’ song “I Wanna Be Adored.” I wouldn’t be embarrassed for you if you turned your head up to the night sky and serenaded the stars with a chant of “I wanna be adored, I deserve to be adored, I demand to be adored.” And I might even be willing to predict that your wish will be fulfi lled — on one condition, which is that you also express your artful adoration for some worthy creature. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In his parody music video, “Sick- est Buddhist,” comedian Arj Barker invokes a hip hop sensibility as he brags about his spiritual prowess. Noting how skilled he is when it comes to mastering his teacher’s instructions, he says, “The instruc- tor just told us to do a 45-minute meditation / but I nailed it in 10.” I expect you will have a similar facility in the coming week, Capricorn: Tasks that might be challenging for others may seem like child’s play to you. I bet you’ll be able to sort quickly through complications that might normally take days to untangle. (See the NSFW video here: tinyurl.com/illBuddhist.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The sixth astronaut to walk on the (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The difference between the right word and the almost right word,” said Mark Twain, “is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.” Because the difference between the right word and the almost right word will be so crucial for you in the coming days, Libra, I urge you to maintain extra vigilance towards the sounds that come out of your mouth. But don’t be tense and repressed about it. Loose, graceful vigilance will actually work better. By the way, the distinction between right and almost right will be equally important in other areas of your life as well. Be adroitly discerning. moon was engineer Edgar Mitchell. He asserts that extraterrestrials have visited Earth and that governments are covering up that fact. The second astronaut to do a moonwalk was engineer Buzz Aldrin. He says that there is unquestionably an artifi cial structure built on Phobos, a moon of Mars. Some scientists dispute the claims of these experts, insisting that aliens are myths. Who should we believe? Personally, I lean towards Mitchell and Aldrin. Having been raised by an engineer father, I know how unlikely it is for people with that mindset to make extraordinary claims. If you have to choose between competing authorities any time soon, Aquarius, I recommend that like me, you opt for the smart mavericks instead of the smart purveyors of conventional wisdom. SCORPIO PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If I were you, Pisces, I’d make interest- LIBRA (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Dear Rob: In your horoscopes you often write about how we Scorpios will encounter interesting opportu- nities, invitations to be powerful, and creative breakthroughs. But you rarely discuss the deceptions, selfi sh deeds, and ugliness of the human heart that might be coming our way -- especially in regards to what we are capable of ourselves. Why do you do this? My main concern is not in dealing with what’s going right, but rather on persevering through diffi culty. — Scorpio in the Shadows. Dear Scorpio: You have more than enough infl uences in your life that encourage you to be fascinated with darkness. I may be the only one that’s committed to helping you cultivate the more undeveloped side of your soul: the part that thrives on beauty and goodness and joy. ing fun your meme of the week. According to my reading of the as- trological omens, you will be fully justifi ed in making that your modus operandi and your raison d’etre. For best results, you should put a priority on pursuing experiences that both amuse you and captivate your imagination. As you consider whether to accept any invitation or seize any opportunity, make sure it will teach you something you don’t already know and also transport you into a positive emotional state that gets your endorphins fl owing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Acupuncturists identify an energetic point in the ear called the spirit gate. If it’s stuck closed, the spirit is locked in; if it’s stuck open, the spirit is always coming and going, restless and unsettled. What’s ideal, of course, is that the spirit gate is not stuck in any position. Then the spirit can come and go as it needs to, and also have the option of retreating and protecting itself. I’d like you to imagine that right now a skilled acupuncturist is insert- ing a needle in the top of your left ear, where it will remain for about 20 minutes. In the meantime, visualize your spirit gate being in that state of harmonious health I described.
