ASTROLOGY
BY R O B B R E ZN Y
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “They are trying to make me into a fi xed star,” complained religious leader Martin
Luther a few centuries ago. “I am an irregular planet.” I invite you to use that declaration as your own in the com-
ing weeks. You have every right to avoid being pinned down, pigeonholed and forced to be consistent. According
to my reading of the astrological omens, you need abundant freedom to mutate your identity. You deserve a
poetic license that allows you to play a variety of different roles and explore the pleasures of unpredictable
self-expression.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The Star-Spangled Banner” is America’s national anthem. It features the lyrics of
a patriotic poem written by Francis Scott Key. But the melody itself is entirely lifted from a bawdy old song that
celebrates Bacchus, the ancient god of wine and ecstatic dancing. I love it when things are repurposed as dra-
matically as that. Do you? The coming weeks will be prime time to repurpose stuff with creative abandon. Make
the past useful for the future, Taurus. Turn good old ideas into fantastic new ones. Don’t just recycle; transform.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’m guessing that in the coming weeks you will be receiving a multitude of
inquiries, invitations and temptations — probably more than you feel capable of responding to, and certainly
more than you should respond to. A few of these opportunities might be appealing and lead to interesting
adventures. But some will be useless, diversionary, or trivial. Will you be able to tell the difference? That’s your
big challenge. If you’d like help dodging unwanted solicitations, give out this phone number as your own: (212)
479-7990. It’s a free service provide by “The Rejection Line” at Rejectionline.com. People calling that number
will be politely told you aren’t available.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): For millennia, the plant known as the yellow avalanche lily has thrived on moun-
tain slopes and meadows throughout western North America. It blooms early in the spring, just in time for broad-
tailed hummingbirds that migrate from Central America to sip the fl ower’s nectar. But now there’s a problem
with that ancient arrangement. Due to global warming, the lily now blossoms 17 days earlier than it used to. But
the hummingbirds haven’t made an adjustment in their schedule, so they’re barely showing up in time to get
their full allotment of nectar. I suspect this is a metaphor for a shift you may be facing in your own life rhythm.
Fortunately, you’ve been forewarned, and you can adjust better than the hummingbirds.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In our calendar, there is no special holiday devoted to honoring the joy and power of re-
bellion. This oversight confounds me. All my experience tells me that the urge to revolt is a fundamental human
need. Every one of us has a sacred duty to regularly rise up and overthrow a stale status quo that is oppressing
us — whether that’s an organized group effort we’re part of or our own deadening routine. I’m telling you this,
Leo, because it’s an excellent time to celebrate your own Rebellion Jubilee. Your vitality will soar as you shed
numbing habits and decaying traditions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Recently you’ve had resemblances to an 8-year-old kid wearing the pajamas you
loved when you were 5. Your bare arms are jutting out beyond where the sleeves end, and there’s a similar thing
going on with your legs. The fabric is ripped here and there because it can’t accommodate how much you’ve
grown. You’re feeling discomfort in places where the overly tight fi t is squeezing your fl esh. All of this is some-
what cute but mostly alarming. I wish you would wean yourself of the past and update your approach.
wink
of them make a sound that resembles a long snore or a rapid chuckle. But over the years, biologists have also
detected a third type of frogly expression: a clipped, repetitive croak. Just this year, they fi nally fi gured out that
this belonged to an entirely distinct species of leopard frog that they had never before identifi ed. It’s still so new
it doesn’t have a name yet. I expect a metaphorically similar development in your life, Libra. You will become
aware of a secret that has been hiding in plain sight. You will “fi nd” something that actually revealed itself to you
some time ago.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Tom Tolbert is a sports talk show host on San Francisco radio station KNBR. I am
amazingly neutral about him. Nothing he says fascinates me or mirrors my own thoughts. On the other hand,
he never makes me mad and he’s not boring. I neither like him nor dislike him. I simply see him for who he is,
without any regard for what he can do for me. He has become a symbol of the possibility that I’m able to look at
a human being with complete impartiality, having no wish for him to be different from what he is. In the coming
week, I suggest you try to achieve this enlightened state of mind on a regular basis. It’s prime time, astrologi-
cally speaking, to ripen your mastery of the art of objectivity.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you say “rabbit rabbit rabbit” as soon as you wake up on the fi rst day of
the month, you will have good luck for the next 30 to 31 days. At least that’s how reality works according to a
British superstition. But judging from your astrological omens, I don’t think you will have to resort to magic tricks
like that to stimulate your good fortune. In the next four weeks, I suspect you will be the benefi ciary of a fl ood of
cosmic mojo, as well as a surge of divine woowoo, a shower of astral juju, and an upwelling of universal googoo
gaga. If it would give you even more confi dence to invoke your favorite superstitions, though, go right ahead.
Even scientists say that kind of thing works: tinyurl.com/SuperstitiousBoost

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): According to Greek myth, Perseus cut off the head of Medusa. She was the
creature whose hair was composed of snakes and whose gaze could turn a person into stone. The immortal
winged horse Pegasus was instantaneously born from Medusa’s blood. He ultimately became an ally to the nine
Muses, and Zeus relied on him to carry thunder and lightning. I predict that while you’re sleeping, Capricorn, you
will have a dream that contains elements of this myth. Here’s a preliminary interpretation of that dream: You
are undergoing a transition that could in a sense give you the power of fl ight and a more abundant access to a
muse.
Let Your Imagination
Go Wild?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s time for you to be leader of the pack, Aquarius; to take your gang to the
next level; to make sure the group mind isn’t suppressing innovation and enforcing peer pressure but is rather
inspiring every member of the tribe to be as creative as they dare to be. And if it’s not realistic for you to wield
that much power, then do whatever you can to synergize the alliances that hold your posse together. Build team
morale. Gossip constructively. Conspire to animate an infl ux of fresh magic.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you’re a food company that wants to sell chicken in the shape of a chicken wing,
it must have actual chicken wing meat in it. Otherwise, the law says you’ve got to call your product “wyngz.” I’ve
always thought that there’s a lot of information the media presents as “news” that is really as fake as wyngz.
That’s why I advocate calling the bogus stuff “newzak” (rhymes with “muzak”). Your assignment in the coming
weeks, Pisces, is to make sure you’re not putting out any wyngz- or newzak-like stuff in your own chosen fi eld.
The fates will help you rather dramatically if you put a high premium on authenticity.
