I urge you to look for opportunities to pare down and refi ne. On the other hand, don’t go too far. Be careful that you don’t truncate, desecrate or annihilate. It’s not an easy assignment, Taurus. You will have to be skeptical about any temptation you might have to go overboard with your skepticism. You will have to be cautious not to allow your judicious discernment to devolve into destructive distrust. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Why did people start drinking coffee? Who fi gured out that roasting and boiling the bitter beans of a certain shrub produced a stimulating beverage? Historians don’t know for sure. One old tale proposes that a ninth-century Ethiopian shepherd discovered the secret. After his goats nibbled on the beans of the coffee bush, they danced and cavorted with unnatural vigor. I urge you to be as alert and watchful as that shepherd, Gemini. A new source of vibrant energy may soon be revealed to you, perhaps in an unexpected way. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Hello Dear One: My name is Lorita. I am a beautiful heartfelt woman from Libya. I was browsing online through the long night when I came across your shiny dark power, and now I must tell you that I am quite sure you and I can circle together like sun and moon. It would give me great bliss for us to link up and make a tender story together. I await your reply so I can give you my secret sweetness. — Your Surprise Soulmate. Dear Soulmate: Thank you for your warm inquiry. However, I must turn you down. Because I was born under the sign of Cancer the Crab, I have to be very careful to maintain proper boundaries; I can’t allow myself to be wide open to every extravagant invitation I get, especially from people I don’t know well. That’s especially true these days. We Crabs need to be extra discriminating about what infl uences we allow into our spheres. 34 SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 EUGENE WEEKLY im 22 years old I have tattoos and piecings I skate im down to earth lookin for a girl who is honest and wont cheat.

Me: Man. #902600 BY ROB BREZSNY (March 21-April 19): For every trillion dollars the U.S. government spends on the military, it creates about 11,000 jobs. That same expenditure, if directed toward education, creates 27,000 jobs. Personally, I’d rather have the taxes I pay go to teachers than soldiers — especially in light of the fact that the U.S. spends almost as much money on its military as all the other nations in the world combined spend on theirs. I suggest that in the coming months you make a metaphorically similar move, Aries. Devote more of your time and energy and resources to learning, and less to fi ghting. Ironically, doing that will ultimately diminish the fi ghting you have to do. As you get more training and wisdom, you’ll become more skilled at avoiding unnecessary confl icts. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Questions and more questions! Will the Sorry I hit you with a frisbee, your hair just got me to stare, I was wondering who did your do, would have been fun to hang out with you! When: Thursday, September 13, 2012. Where: Pretty Lights. You: Woman. Me: Woman. #902611 AARON DACTYL You tag over intricate graffiti art and get violent when it happens in retaliation. Battling is a foun- dation of graffiti, violence towards fellow artists is not. You are no artist. When: Thursday, January 1, 2009. Where: The yards. You: Man. Me: Man. #902609 monkey on your back jump off, at least for a while? Will the sign of the zodiac that you understand least become an X-factor in the unfolding plot? Will a cute distraction launch you on what seems to be a wild goose chase — until it leads you to a clue you didn’t even know you were looking for? Will a tryst in an unsacred space result in an odd boost to your long-term fortunes? The answers to riddles like these will be headed your way in the coming weeks. You’re at the beginning of a phase that will specialize in alluring twists and brain-teasing turns. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Want to submit a letter to the editor of a major newspaper? The odds of you getting published in the infl uential Washington Post are almost three times as great as in the super- infl uential New York Times. The Post has a much smaller circulation, so your thoughts there won’t have as wide an impact. But you will still be read by many people. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’re in a phase when you should be quite content to shoot for a spot in the Post. Please apply that same principle to everything you do. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to the Asian spiritual tradi- tions of Tantra and Taoism, it’s unhealthy for a man to have too many ejaculatory orgasms. Doing so depletes his vital energy and can lead to depression and malaise. But medical researchers in the West have come to the exact opposite conclusion: The more climaxes men have, the better. According to them, frequent sex even promotes youthful- ness and longevity. So who to believe? Here’s what I think: Every man should fi nd out for himself by conducting his own experiments. As a general rule, I recommend the empirical approach for many other questions as well — and especially right now for Libran people of all genders. Rather than trusting anyone’s theories about anything, fi nd out for yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The 19th-century Norwegian play- wright Henrik Ibsen was an iconoclast who relished exposing the hypocrisy and shallowness of conventional morality. While working on one of his plays, he kept a pet scorpion in an empty beer glass on his desk. “Now and again,” he testifi ed, “when the creature was wilting, I would drop into the glass a piece of fruit, which it would seize upon in a frenzy and inject with its poison. It would then revive. Are not we poets like that?” Keep these details in mind during the coming weeks, Scorpio. You will probably have some venom that needs to be expelled. I hope you’ll do it like Ibsen writing his brilliantly scathing plays or the scorpion stinging some fruit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “There is nothing more diffi cult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose,” said French artist Henri Matisse, “because before he can do so he has fi rst to forget all the roses that were ever painted.” I’d love to expand this principle so that it applies to everything you do in the coming week. Whatever ad- ventures you seek, Sagittarius, prepare for them by forgetting all the adventures you have ever had. That way you will unleash the fullness of the fun and excitement you deserve. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Where do you belong? Not where you used to belong and not where you will belong in the future, but where do you belong right now? The answer to that question might have been murky lately, but the time is ripe to get clear. To identify your right and proper power spot, do these things: First, decide what experiences you will need in order to feel loved and nurtured between now and your birthday. Second, determine the two goals that are most important for you to accomplish between now and your birthday. And third, summon a specifi c vision of how you can best express your generosity between now and your birthday. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are you excited about your new detachable set of invisible wings? They’re ready. To get the full benefi t of the freedom they make available, study these tips: 1. Don’t attach them to your feet or butt; they belong on your shoulders. 2. To preserve their sheen and functionality, avoid rolling in the muddy gutter while you’re wearing them. 3. Don’t use them just to show off. 4. It’s OK to fl y around for sheer joy, though. 5. Never take them off in mid-fl ight. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You know that leap of faith you’re con- sidering? Now would be a good time to rehearse it, but not do it. How about that big experiment you’ve been mulling over? Imagine in detail what it would be like to go ahead, but don’t actually go ahead. Here’s my third question, Pisces: Have you been thinking of making a major commitment? My advice is similar to the fi rst two issues: Research all of its ramifi cations. Think deeply about how it would change your life. Maybe even formulate a prenuptial agreement or the equivalent. But don’t make a dramatic dive into foreverness. Not yet, at least. This is your time to practice, play, and pretend. HOMEWORK: In your imagination, visit the person you’ll be in four years. What important messages do you have to convey?
