Me: Woman. #902402 A MAN, 59, BY ROB BREZSNY people to know that not all Native American tribes have the same traditions. In the Cherokee belief system, it’s Grandmother Sun and Grandfather Moon, which is the opposite of most tribes. There are no Cherokee shamans, only medicine men and women and adawehis, or religious leaders. They don’t have “pipe carriers,” don’t do the Sun Dance, and don’t walk the “Good Red Road.” In fact, they walk the White Path, have a purifi cation ceremony called “Going to Water,” and perform the Green Corn ceremony as a ritual renewal of life. I suggest you do a similar clarifi cation for the group you’re part of and the traditions you hold dear, Taurus. Ponder your tribe’s unique truths and ways. Identify them and declare them. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the coming weeks, the activity going on inside your mind and heart will be especially intense and infl uential — even if you don’t explicitly express it. When you speak your thoughts and feelings out loud, they will have unusual power to change people’s minds and rearrange their moods. When you keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself, they will still leak all over everything, bending and shaping the energy fi eld around you. That’s why I urge you to take extra care as you manage what’s going on within you. Make sure the effect you’re having is the effect you want to have. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Artist Richard Kehl tells the story of a teenage girl who got the chance to ask a question of the eminent psy- chologist Carl Jung. “Professor, you are so clever. Could you please tell me the shortest path to my life’s goal?” Without a moment’s hesita- tion Jung replied, “The detour!” I invite you to consider the possibility that Jung’s answer might be meaningful to you right now, Cancerian. Have you been churning out overcomplicated thoughts about your mission? Are you at risk of getting a bit too grandiose in your plans? Maybe you should at least dream about taking a shortcut that looks like a detour or a detour that looks like a shortcut. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An old Chinese proverb says: “My barn hav- ing burned to the ground, I can see the moon.” The speaker of those 38 MARCH 8, 2012 EUGENE WEEKLY not sure if i heard you or you heard me??? i’m a 6’2” red- headed,glasses-wearing,weird- on-the-outside,heart-on-the- sleeve guy. if we discussed about ‘single’ cigs and “the corner” then its one of you When: Wednesday, February 8, 2012.

It’s agony. But everyone has agony. The difference is that I try to take my agony home and teach it to sing.” I hope this little outburst inspires you, Ar- ies. It’s an excellent time for you to harness your hysteria and instruct your agony in the fi ne art of singing. To boost your chances of success in pulling off this dicey feat, use every means at your disposal to have fun and stay amused.

The building may have been gone, but as a result he or she had a bet- ter view of a natural wonder that was previously diffi cult to observe. I don’t foresee any of your barns going down in fl ames, Leo, so I don’t expect you’ll have to make a similar redefi nition under duress. How- ever, you have certainly experienced events like that in the past. And now would be an excellent time to revise your thinking about their meaning. Are you brave enough and ingenious enough to reinterpret your history? It’s fi nd-the-redemption week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” Numerous websites on the internet allege that Greek philosopher Plato made this state- ment, which I regard as highly unlikely. But in any case, the thought it- self has some merit. And in accordance with your current astrological omens, I will make it your motto for the week. This is an excellent time to learn more about and become closer to the people you care for, and nothing would help you accomplish that better than getting together for intensive interludes of fooling around and messing around and horsing around. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves,” said Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl. His advice might be just what you need to hear right now, Libra. Have you struggled, mostly fruitlessly, to change a stagnant situation that has resisted your best efforts? Is there a locked door you’ve been banging on, to no avail? If so, I invite you to redirect your attention. Reclaim the energy you have been expending on closed-down people and moldering systems. Instead, work on the unfi nished beauty of what lies closest at hand: yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In this passage from Still Life with Woodpecker, Tom Robbins provides a hot tip you should keep in mind. “There are essential and inessential insanities. Inessential insanities are a brittle amalgamation of ambition, aggression, and pre-ado- lescent anxiety — garbage that should have been dumped long ago. Essential insanities are those impulses one instinctively senses are vir- tuous and correct, even though peers may regard them as coo-coo.” I’ll add this, Scorpio: Be crazily wise and wisely crazy in the coming weeks. It will be healthy for you. Honor the wild ideas that bring you joy and the odd desires that remind you of your core truths. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I don’t think you will need literal medicine this week. Your physical vigor should be good. But I’m hoping you will seek out some spirit medicine — healing agents that fortify the secret and subtle parts of your psyche. Where do you fi nd spirit medicine? Well, the search itself will provide the initial dose. you drinking at the bar, me in the dish pit. sometimes we’d make out after work. but i never did get to play with your toys!

I see you there! :) When: Thursday, February 23, 2012. Where: right now. You: Woman. Me: Woman. #902391 ARCADE BEAUTY 2 am, walked behind you without enough nerve. Newcomers hug- ging in the middle of Blair. Be there next Saturday or anywhere we could share another hug “Hello!” before then? When: Sunday, February 19, 2012. Where: Blair Alley. You: Woman. Me: Woman. #902390 Here are some further ideas: Expose yourself to stirring art and music and fi lms; have conversations with empathic friends and the spirits of dead loved ones; spend time in the presence of a natural wonder; fan- tasize about a thrilling adventure you will have one day; and imagine who you want to be three years from now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Each of us is the star of our own movie. There are a few other lead and supporting actors who round out the cast, but everyone else in the world is an extra. Now and then, though, people whom we regard as minor characters suddenly rise to prominence and play a pivotal role in our unfolding drama. I expect this phenomenon is now occurring or will soon occur for you, Cap- ricorn. So please be willing to depart from the script. Open yourself to the possibility of improvisation. People who have been playing bit parts may have more to contribute than you imagine. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The “cocktail party effect” refers to your ability to hear your name being spoken while in the midst of a social gathering’s cacophony. This is an example of an important prac- tice, which is how to discern truly meaningful signals embedded in the noise of all the irrelevant information that surrounds you. You should be especially skilled at doing this in the coming weeks, Aquarius — and it will be crucial that you make abundant use of your skill. As you navigate your way through the clutter of symbols and the overload of data, be alert for the few key messages that are highly useful. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Shunryu Suzuki was a Zen master whose books helped popularize Zen Buddhism in America. A student once asked him, “How much ego do you need?” His austere reply was “Just enough so that you don’t step in front of a bus.” While I sympathize with the value of humility, I wouldn’t go quite that far. I think that a slightly heftier ego, if offered up as a work of art, can be a gift to the world. What do you think, Pisces? How much ego is good? To what degree can you create your ego so that it’s a beautiful and dynamic source of power for you and an inspiration for other people rather than a greedy, needy parasite that distorts the truth? This is an excellent time to ruminate on such matters. HOMEWORK: Name your greatest unnecessary taboo and how you would violate it if it didn’t hurt anyone. FreeWillAstrology.com.
