ASTROLOGY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Spencer Silver was a co-inventor of Post-it notes, those small, colorful pieces
of paper you can temporarily attach to things and then remove to use again and again. Speaking about the
process he went through to develop this simple marvel, he said, “If I had thought about it, I wouldn’t have done
the experiment. The literature was full of examples that said you can’t do this.” I’d like to make him your patron
saint for the next few weeks, Aries. Like him, you now have the chance to make practical breakthroughs that
may have seemed impossible, or at least unlikely. Ignore conventional wisdom — including your own. Trust
your mischievous intuition.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The axolotl is a kind of salamander that has an extraordinary capacity for regener-
ating itself. If it loses a leg in an accident, it will grow a new one in its place. It can even fi x its damaged organs,
including eyes, heart and brain. And get this: There’s never any scar tissue left behind when its work is done. Its
power to heal itself is pretty much perfect. I nominate the axolotl to be your power animal in the coming weeks,
Taurus. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you now have an extraordinary ability to restore any
part of your soul that got hurt or stolen or lost.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the coming months, I hope that you will get sweet revenge. In fact, I predict that
you will get sweet revenge. Keep in mind that I’m not talking about angry, roaring vindication. I don’t mean you
will destroy the reputations of your adversaries or reduce them to humiliating poverty or laugh at them as they
grovel for mercy while lying in a muddy gutter. No, Gemini. The kind of revenge I foresee is that you will achieve
a ringing triumph by mastering a challenge they all believed would defeat you. And your ascent to victory starts
now.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): I would love to speak with you about your hesitancy to fully confront your diffi cul-
ties. But I will not speak forthrightly, since I’m pretty sure that would irritate you. It might even motivate you to
procrastinate even further. So instead I will make a lame joke about how if you don’t stop avoiding the obvious,
you will probably get bitten in the butt by a spider. I will try to subtly guilt-trip you into taking action by implying
that I’ll be annoyed at you if you don’t. I will wax sarcastic and suggest that maybe just this once, ignorance is
bliss. Hopefully that will nudge you into dealing straightforwardly with the unrest that’s burbling.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): One of my spiritual teachers once told me that a good spiritual teacher makes an
effort not to seem too perfect. She said some teachers even cultivate odd quirks and harmless failings on
purpose. Why? To get the best learning experience, students must be discouraged from over-idealizing the wise
advisors they look up to. It’s crucial they understand that achieving utter purity is impossible and unrealistic.
Being perceived as an infallible expert is dangerous for teachers, too; it makes them prone to egotistical grandi-
osity. I bring this up, Virgo, because it’s an excellent time to reduce the likelihood that you’ll be seduced by the
illusion of perfection.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Drama is life with all the boring parts cut out of it,” said Leo fi lmmaker Alfred Hitchcock.
By that criterion, I’m guessing that your experience in the coming week will have a high concentration of magic
and stimulation. You should be free from having to slog through stale details and prosaic storylines. Your word
of power will be succulence. For best results, I suggest you take active control of the unfolding adventures. Be
the director and lead actor in your drama, not a passive participant who merely reacts to what the other actors
are doing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This would be a good week to talk to yourself far more than you usually do. If you’re
the type of person who never talks to yourself, this is a perfect time to start. And I do mean that you should
speak the words out loud. Actually address yourself with passionate, humorous, ironic, sincere, insightful
comments, as you would any person you care about. Why am I suggesting this? Because according to my
interpretation of the astrological omens, you would benefi t from the shock of literally hearing how your mind
works. Even more importantly: The cheerleading you do, the encouragement you deliver, and the motivational
speeches you give would have an unusually powerful impact if they were audibly articulated.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the fairy tale “Beauty and the Beast,” a grotesque human-like creature hosts
the heroine in his home, treating her like a queen. She accepts his hospitality but rejects his constant requests
to marry him. Eventually, he collapses from heartache. Moved by the depth of his suffering, she breaks into
tears and confesses her deep affection for him. This shatters the spell and magically transforms the Beast back
into the handsome prince he originally was. Your life may have parallels to this story in the coming months,
Scorpio. You might be tested. Can you discern the truth about a valuable resource that doesn’t look very sexy?
Will you be able to see beauty embedded in a rough or shabby form?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you thoroughly shuffl e a deck of cards, the novel arrangement you create
is probably unique in all of human history; its specifi c order has never before occurred. I suspect the same prin-
ciple applies to our lives: Each new day brings a singular set of circumstances that neither you nor anyone else
in the last 10,000 years has ever had the pleasure of being challenged and intrigued by. There is always some
fresh opportunity, however small, that is being offered you for the fi rst time. I think it’s important for you to keep
this perspective in mind during the coming week. Be alert for what you have never seen or experienced before.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I wish I could do more than just fantasize about helping you achieve greater

freedom. In my dreams, I am obliterating delusions that keep you moored to false idols. I am setting fi re to the
unnecessary burdens you lug around. And I am tearing you away from the galling compromises you made once
upon a time in order to please people who don’t deserve to have so much power over you. But it’s actually a
good thing I can’t just wave a magic wand to make all this happen. Here’s a much better solution: You will clarify
your analysis of the binds you’re in, supercharge your willpower, and liberate yourself.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In his book Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Tom Robbins talks about a gourmet
who “gave up everything, traveled thousands of miles and spent his last dime to get to the highest lamasery in
the Himalayas to taste the dish he’d longed for his whole life, Tibetan peach pie. When he got there ... the lamas
said they were all out of peach. ‘OK,’ said the gourmet, ‘make it apple.’” I suspect you’ll be having a comparable
experience sometime soon, Aquarius. You may not get the exact treat you wanted, but what you’ll receive in its
place is something that’s pretty damn good. I urge you to accept the gift as is!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Having ‘a sense of self’ means possessing a set of stories about who we are,”
according to William Kittredge in his book The Nature of Generosity. He says there are two basic types of stories:
The fi rst is “cautionary tales, which warn us” and therefore protect us. The second consists of “celebratory”
tales, which we use to heal and calm ourselves. I believe that you Pisceans are now in a phase when you
primarily need celebratory stories. It’s time to defi ne yourself with accounts of what you love and value and
regard as precious.
