BY ROB BREZSNY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): What do you typically do just before you
fall asleep and right after you wake up? Those rituals are important
for your mental health. Without exaggeration, you could say they are
sacred times when you’re poised in the threshold between the two
great dimensions of your life. I’ll ask you to give special care and atten-
tion to those transitions in the coming week. As much as possible, avoid
watching TV or surfi ng the internet right up to the moment you turn off
the light, and don’t leap out of bed the instant an alarm clock detonates.
The astrological omens suggest you are primed to receive special rev-
elations, even ringing epiphanies, while in those in-between states.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Have you ever gazed into the eyes of
goats? If you have, you know that their pupils are rectangular when
dilated. This quirk allows them to have a fi eld of vision that extends
as far as 340 degrees, as opposed to humans’ puny 160-210 degrees.
They can also see better at night than we can. Goats are your power
animal in the coming week, Taurus. Metaphorically speaking, you will
have an excellent chance to expand your breadth and depth of vision.
Do you have any blind spots that need to be illuminated? Now’s the
time to make that happen.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the animated fi lm The Lion King, two
of the central characters are a talking meerkat named Timon and a
talking warthog named Pumbaa. Their actions are often heroic. They
help the star of the tale, Simba, rise to his rightful role as king. The
human actors who provided the voices for Timon and Pumbaa, Nathan
Lane and Ernie Sabella, originally auditioned for the lesser roles of
hyenas. They set their sights too low. Fortunately fate conspired to
give them more than what they asked for. Don’t start out as they did,
Gemini. Aim high right from the beginning -- not for the bit part or the
minor role but rather for the catalyst who actually gets things done.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “He who is outside his door already has
a hard part of his journey behind him,” says a Dutch proverb. Ancient
Roman writer Marcus Terentius Varro articulated a similar idea: “The
longest part of the journey is the passing of the gate.” I hope these
serve as words of encouragement for you, Cancerian. You’ve got a
quest ahead of you. At its best, it will involve freewheeling exploration
and unpredictable discoveries. If you can get started in a timely manner,
you’ll set an excellent tone for the adventures. Don’t procrastinate.

(July 23-Aug. 22): You’re so close to fi nding a fresh perspective
that would allow you to outmaneuver an old torment, Leo. You’re on
the verge of breaking through a wall of illusion that has sealed you off
from some very interesting truths. In the hope of providing you with
the last little push that will take you the rest of the way, I offer two
related insights from creativity specialist Roger von Oech: 1. If you get
too fi xated on solving a certain problem, you may fail to notice a new
opportunity that arises outside the context of that problem. 2. If you
intensify your focus by looking twice as hard at a situation that’s right
in front of you, you will be less likely to see a good idea that’s right
behind you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Thirty-two carrier pigeons were awarded
medals by the United Kingdom for their meritorious service in the
World Wars. Of course, they probably would have preferred sunfl ower
seeds and peanuts as their prize. Let that lesson guide you as you
bestow blessings on the people and animals that have done so much
for you, Virgo. Give them goodies they would actually love to receive,
not meaningless gold stars or abstract accolades. It’s time to honor
and reward your supporters with practical actions that suit them well.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The caterpillar-to-butterfl y transforma-
tion is such an iconic symbol of metamorphosis that it has become
a cliche. And yet I’d like to point out that when the graceful winged
creature emerges from its chrysalis, it never grows any further. We
human beings, on the other hand, are asked to be in a lifelong state of
metamorphosis, continually adjusting and shifting to meet our chang-
ing circumstances. I’ll go so far as to say that having a readiness to
be in continual transformation is one of the most beautiful qualities a
person can have. Are you interested in cultivating more of that capac-
ity, Libra? Now would be an excellent time to do so. Remember that
line by Bob Dylan: “He who is not busy being born is busy dying.”
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This would be an excellent time
to round up a slew of new role models. In my astrological opinion,
you need to feel far more than your usual levels of admiration for
exceptional human beings. You’re in a phase when you could derive
tremendous inspiration by closely observing masters and virtuosos
and pros who are doing what you would like to do. For that matter,
your mental and spiritual health would be profoundly enhanced by
studying anyone who has found what he or she was born to do and is
doing it with liberated fl air.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): WD-40 is a spray product that
prevents corrosion, loosens stuck hinges, removes hard-to-get-at
dirt, and has several other uses. Its inventor, Norm Larsen, tried 39
different formulas before fi nding the precisely right combination of
ingredients on his 40th attempt. The way I understand your life right
now, Sagittarius, is that you are like Larsen when he was working with
version number 37. You’re getting closer to creating a viable method
for achieving your next success. That’s why I urge you to be patient
and determined as you continue to tinker and experiment. Don’t keep
trying the same formula that didn’t quite work before. Open your mind
to the possibility that you have not yet discovered at least one of the
integral components.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A person who emits a huge angry
shout produces just .001 watt of energy. Even if he or she yelled con-
tinuously 24/7, it would still take a year and nine months to produce
enough energy to heat a cup of coffee. That’s one way to metaphori-
cally illustrate my bigger point, which is that making a dramatic show
of emotional agitation may feel powerful but is often a sign of weak-
ness. Please take this to heart in the coming week, Capricorn. If you
do fall prey to a frothy eruption of tumultuous feelings, use all of your
considerable willpower to maintain your poise. Better yet, abort the
tumult before it detonates. This is one time when repressing negative
feelings will be healthy, wealthy, and wise.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Jeep vehicles always feature seven
slots on their front grills. Why? For the manufacturer, it’s a symbolic
statement proclaiming the fact that Jeep was the fi rst vehicle driven
on all seven continents. Let’s take that as your cue, Aquarius. Your
assignment is to pick an accomplishment you’re really proud of and
turn it into an emblem, image, glyph or talisman that you can wear or
express. If nothing else, draw it on dusty car windows, write it on bath-
room walls, or add it to a Facebook status update. The key thing is that
you use a public forum to celebrate yourself for a signifi cant success,
even if it’s in a modest or mysterious way.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A sign outside the Apostolic Bible
Church in Bathurst, New Brunswick invited worshipers to meditate on
a conundrum: “Why didn’t Noah swat those two mosquitoes?” After
all, if the builder of the Ark had refused to help the pesky insects
survive the fl ood, we’d be free of their torment today. (Or so the
allegorical argument goes.) Please apply this lesson to a situation in
your own sphere, Pisces. As you journey to your new world, leave the
vexatious elements behind.
