ARIES
(March 21-April 19): Sad but true: A lot of people seem to be
perpetually in a state of wanting what they don’t have and not wanting
what they actually do have. I’m begging you not to be like that in the
coming weeks, Aries. Please? I’ll tell you why: More than I’ve seen in a
long time, you will have everything going for you if you want precisely
what you do have — and are not full of longing for what’s unavailable.
Do you think you can you manage that brilliant trick? If so, you will be
amazed by the sublimity of the peace that will settle over you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Of all the signs of the zodiac, Tauruses
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): “Publishing a volume of poetry is like drop-
ping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo,”
said author Don Marquis, speaking from experience. Something you’re
considering, Leo, may seem to fi t that description, too. It’s a project or
action or gift that you’d feel good about offering, but you also wonder
whether it will generate the same buzz as that rose petal fl oating
down into the Grand Canyon. Here’s what I think: To the degree that
you shed your attachment to making an impact, you will make the ex-
act impact that matters most. Give yourself without any expectations.
are the least likely to be arrogant. Sadly, in a related development,
they’re also among the most likely to have low self-esteem. But your
tribe now has an excellent opportunity to address the latter problem.
Current cosmic rhythms are inviting you rather loudly and dramati-
cally to boost your confi dence, even at the risk of careening into the
forbidden realm of arrogance. That’s why I recommend Taurus musi-
cian Trent Reznor as your role model. He has no problem summoning
feelings of self-worth. As evidence, here’s what he confessed when
asked about whether he frequents music social networks: “I don’t care
what my friends are listening to. Because I’m cooler than they are.”
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Comedian Louis CK told a story about his
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “If Mark Twain had had Twitter,” says
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I stumbled upon an engineering textbook
for undergraduates. There was a section on how to do technical writ-
ing, as opposed to the literary kind. It quoted a poem by Edgar Allan
Poe: “Helen, thy beauty is to me / Like those Nicean barks of yore /
That gently, o’er a perfumed sea, / The weary way-worn wanderer
bore / To his own native shore.” Then the book gave advice to the
student: “To express these ideas in technical writing, we would simply
say, ‘He thinks Helen is beautiful.’” Don’t take shortcuts like that, Libra.
For the sake of your emotional health and spiritual integrity, you can’t
see or treat the world anything like what a technical writer would.
humorist Andy Borowitz, “he would have been amazing at it. But he
probably wouldn’t have gotten around to writing Huckleberry Finn.”
I think you’re facing a comparable choice, Gemini. You can either get
a lot of little things done that will serve your short-term aims, or else
you can at least partially withdraw from the day-to-day give-and-take
so as to devote yourself with more focus to a long-range goal. I’m not
here to tell you which way to go; I just want to make sure you know
the nature of the decision before you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You now have a special talent for
helping your allies tap into their dormant potentials and latent energy.
If you choose to use it, you will also have a knack for snapping lost
sheep and fallen angels out of their wasteful trances. There’s a third
kind of magic you have in abundance right now, Cancerian, and that’s
the ability to coax concealed truths out of their hiding places. Person-
ally, I’m hopeful that you will make lavish use of these gifts. I should
mention, however, that some people may resist you. The transforma-
tions you could conceivably set in motion with your superpowers
might seem alarming to them. So I suggest that you hang out as much
as possible with change-lovers who like the strong medicine you have
to offer.
young daughter. She had a fever, and he gave her some Tylenol that
was bubble gum fl avored. “Ewwww!” she complained. Louis was exas-
perated. “You can’t say ‘ewwww,’” he told her. What he meant was that
as a white kid in America, she’s among the most privileged characters
in the world — certainly far luckier than all the poor children who have
no medicine at all, let alone medicine that tastes like candy. I’m going
to present a similar argument to you, Virgo. In the large scheme of
things, your suffering right now is small. Try to keep your attention on
your blessings rather than your discomfort.
LIBRA
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you ready to start playing in
earnest with that ri ddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma? Are
you looking forward to the rough-and-tumble fun that will ensue after
you leap into the middle of that sucker and start trying to decipher
its impossibly interesting meaning? I hope you are primed and eager,
Scorpio. I hope you can’t wait to try to answer the question that
seems to have no answer. Be brave and adventurous, my friend — and
be intent on having a blast.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Lessons could come to you
from unforeseen sources and unanticipated directions during the next
few weeks, Sagittarius. They will also come in expected forms from
all the familiar infl uences, so the sum total of your learning could be
pretty spectacular. To take maximum advantage of the opportunity,
just assume that everyone and everything might have useful teach-
ings for you — even people you usually ignore and situations that
have bored you in the past. Act like an eager student who’s hungry for
knowledge and curious to fi ll in the gaps in your education.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “The consuming desire of most
human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of
some other person,” said British writer Quentin Crisp. If you harbor
even a small tendency in that direction, Capricorn, I hope that in the
coming days you will make a concentrated effort to talk yourself out
of it. In my astrological opinion, this is a critical moment in the long-
term evolution of your healthy self-suffi ciency. For both your own sake
and the sake of the people you love, you must fi nd a way to shrink
your urge to make them responsible for your well-being.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you go to California’s Yosemite
National Park this month, you might get the chance to witness a red-
dish gold waterfall. Here’s how: At sunset, gaze up at the sheer east
face of the rock formation known as El Capitan. There you will see
what seems to be a vertical river of fi re, also known as Horsetail Fall.
I nominate this marvel to be your inspirational symbol for the coming
weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will
have the power to blend fi re and water in novel ways. I encourage you
to look at the photo here — bit.ly/fl uidicfi re — and imprint the image
on your mind’s eye. It will help unleash the subconscious forces you’ll
need to pull off your own natural wonder.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): After singer Amy Winehouse died,
actor Russell Brand asked the public and media to scale back their
derisive opinions about her struggle with intoxicants. Addiction isn’t a
romantic affectation or glamorous self-indulgence that people are too
lazy to overcome, he said. It’s a disease. Would you mock a schizo-
phrenic for his “stupid” propensity for hearing voices? Would you
ridicule a victim of multiple sclerosis for not being vigorous? I’m of
the opinion that all of us have at least one addiction, although it may
not be as disabling as Winehouse’s weakness for liquor and narcotics.
What’s yours, Pisces? Porn? Sugar? Internet? Bad relationships? The
coming weeks would be a very good time to seek help in healing it.
