as “heat,” but in the yogic tradition it means “essential energy.” It
refers to the practice of managing your life force so that it can be
directed to the highest possible purposes, thereby furthering your
evolution as a spiritual being. Do you have any techniques for ac-
complishing that — either through yoga or any other techniques? This
would be a good year to redouble your commitment to that work. In
the coming months, the world will just keep increasing its output of
trivial, energy-wasting temptations. You’ll need to be pretty fierce if
you want to continue the work of transforming yourself into the Aries
you were born to be: focused, direct, energetic and full of initiative.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Live out of your imagination, not
your history,” says Stephen Covey, author of The Seven Habits of High-
ly Effective People. While that’s always true, it will be especially crucial
for you to remember in 2012. This is the year you can transcend stale
traditions, Taurus — a time when you can escape your outworn habits,
reprogram your conditioned responses, and dissolve old karma. You
will be getting unparalleled opportunities to render the past irrelevant.
And the key to unlocking all the magic will be your freewheeling yet
highly disciplined imagination. Call on it often to show you the way
toward the future.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Comedian Steven Wright says his
nephew has HDADD, or High Definition Attention Deficit Disorder. “He
can barely pay attention, but when he does it’s unbelievably clear.” I’m
predicting something like that for you in the coming week, Gemini. You
will encounter more things that are dull than are interesting, but those
few that fascinate you will awaken an intense focus that allows you to
see into the heart of reality.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): As I contemplate the most desirable
fate you could create for yourself, I’m reminded of a lyric from one
of my songs: “We are searching for the answers / so we can destroy
them and dream up better questions.” Here’s what I’m implying by
that, Cancerian: This is not the right time for you to push for com-
prehensive formulas and definitive solutions. Rather, it’s a favorable
moment to draw up the incisive inquiries that will frame your quest for
comprehensive formulas and definitive solutions. That quest is due to
begin in two weeks. For now, raise your curiosity levels, intensify your
receptivity, and make yourself highly magnetic to core truths.
(July 23-Aug. 22): “A writer — and, I believe, generally all per-
sons — must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource,”
said author Jorge Luis Borges. “All that happens to us, including our
humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us
as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art.” I agree that

this advice isn’t just for writers, but for everyone. And it so happens
that you are now in an astrological phase when adopting such an
approach would bring you abundant wisdom and provide maximum
healing. So get started, Leo: Wander through your memories, reinter-
preting the difficult experiences as rich raw material that you can use
to beautify your soul and intensify your lust for life.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Poetry is the kind of thing you have to
see from the corner of your eye,” said the poet William Stafford. “If
you look straight at it you can’t see it, but if you look a little to one
side it is there.” As I contemplate your life in the immediate future,
Virgo, I’m convinced that his definition of poetry will be useful for you
to apply to just about everything. In fact, I think it’s an apt description
of all the important phenomena you’ll need to know about. Better
start practicing your sideways vision.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A Swedish man named Richard Handl
decided to conduct a scientific experiment in his kitchen. Would it
be possible to split atoms using a homemade apparatus? He wanted
to see if he could generate atomic reactions with the radioactive
elements radium, americium and uranium. But before he got too far
into the process, the police intervened and ended his risky fairy-tale.
I bring this to your attention, Libra, as an example of how not to pro-
ceed in the coming weeks. It will be a good time for you to experiment
around the house — refining your relationship with your roommates,
moving the furniture around, and in general rearranging the domestic
chemistry — but please avoid trying stuff as crazy as Handl’s.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1878, Thomas Edison perfected
the phonograph, a machine that could record sounds and play them
back. There had been some primitive prototypes before, but his
version was a major improvement. And what were the first sounds
to be immortalized on Edison’s phonograph? The rush of the wind in
the trees? A dramatic reading of the Song of Songs? The cries of a
newborn infant? Nope. Edison recited the nursery rhyme, “Mary Had a
Little Lamb.” When you make your own breakthrough in communica-
tion sometime soon, Scorpio, I hope you deliver a more profound and
succulent message.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I suspect you may soon find
yourself in a situation similar to the one that 19th-century President
Abraham Lincoln was in when he said the following: “If this is coffee,
please bring me some tea. But if this is tea, please bring me some
coffee.” In other words, Sagittarius, you may not be picky about what
you want, but whatever it is, you’ll prefer it to be authentic, pure, and
distinctly itself. Adulterations and hodgepodges won’t satisfy you, and
they won’t be useful. Hold out for the Real Thing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Last summer, before the football
season started, sportswriter Eric Branch wrote about a rookie running
back that San Francisco 49er fans were becoming increasingly excited
about. The newbie had made some big plays in exhibition games.
Would he continue performing at a high level when the regular season
began? Were the growing expectations justified? After a careful
analysis, Branch concluded that the signs were promising, but not
yet definitive: “It’s OK to go mildly berserk,” he informed the fans.
That’s the same message I’m delivering to you right now, Capricorn.
The early stages of your new possibility are encouraging. It’s OK to go
mildly berserk, but it’s not yet time to go totally bonkers.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In summer, the pickleweed plant
thrives in the saltwater marshes around San Francisco Bay. In many
places, bright orange patches of the dodder plant intermingle with the
pickleweed’s sprightly jade green, creating festive displays that sug-
gest nature is having a party. But there’s a secret buried in this scene.
The dodder’s webby filaments are actually parasites that suck nutri-
ents from the pickleweed. In accordance with the astrological omens,
Aquarius, I’ll ask you if a situation like that exists in your own life. Is
there a pretty picture that hides an imbalance in the give-and-take
of energy? It’s not necessarily a bad thing — after all, the pickleweed
grows abundantly even with its freeloader hanging all over it — but it’s
important to be conscious of what’s going on.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “That in a person which cannot be
domesticated is not his evil but his goodness,” said the writer Antonio
Porchia. I invite you to keep that challenging thought close to your
heart in the coming days, Pisces. In my astrological opinion, it is an
excellent moment to tune in to your wildest goodness — to describe
it to yourself, to cherish it as the great treasure it is, to foster it and
celebrate it and express it like a spring river overflowing its banks.
