ASTROLOGY
BY R O B B R E Z N Y
ARIES (March 21-April 19): James McNeil Whistler was an influential painter in the latter half of the 19th century.
He advocated the “art for art’s sake” credo, insisting that the best art doesn’t need to teach or moralize. As far as he
was concerned, its most important purpose was to bring forth “glorious harmony” from chaos. But the immediate
reason I’m nominating him to be your patron saint for the coming weeks is the stylized signature he created: an
elegant butterfly with a long tail that was actually a stinger. I think you’ll thrive by embodying that dual spirit: being
graceful, sensitive, and harmonious and yet also feisty, piquant, and provocative. Can you manage that much
paradox? I think you can.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Renowned author George Bernard Shaw was secure in his feeling that he did good
work. He didn’t need the recognition of others to validate his self-worth. The British Prime Minister offered him a
knighthood, but he refused it. When he found out he had been awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature, he wanted to
turn it down but his wife convinced him to accept it. The English government also sought to give him the presti-
gious Order of Merit, but he rejected it, saying, “I have already conferred this order upon myself.” He’s your role
model for right now, Taurus. Congratulate yourself for your successes, whether or not anyone else does.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Aha!” is your mantra for the coming weeks, Gemini. Keep it on the tip of your tongue,
ready to unleash. This always-ready-to-be-surprised-by-inspiration attitude will train you to expect the arrival of
wonders and marvels. And that will be an effective way to actually attract wonders and marvels! With “Aha!” as
your talisman, all of your wake-up calls will be benevolent, and all of the chaos you encounter -- or at least most of
it -- will be fertile.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do you chronically indulge in feelings of guilt? Do you berate yourself for the wrong
turns and sad mistakes you made in the past? These behaviors may be sneaky ways of avoiding change. How
can you summon enough energy to transform your life if you’re wallowing in worries and regrets? In presenting
the possibility that you might be caught in this trap, I want you to know that I’m not sitting in judgment of you. Not
at all. Like you, I’m a Cancerian, and I have periodically gotten bogged down in the very morass I’m warning you
against. The bad news is that right now you are especially susceptible to falling under this spell. The good news is
that right now you have extra power to break this spell.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the TV comedy-drama Jane the Virgin, the fictional character known as Rogelio de la
Vega is a vain but lovable actor who performs in telenovelas. “I’m very easy to dress,” he tells the wardrobe super-
visor of a new show he’ll be working on. “Everything looks good on me. Except for peach. I don’t pop in peach.” What
he means is that his charisma doesn’t radiate vividly when he’s wearing peach-colored clothes. Now I want to ask
you, Leo: What don’t you pop in? I’m not simply talking about the color of clothes that enable you to shine, but ev-
erything else, too. In the coming weeks, it’s crucial that you surround yourself with influences that make you pop.

While running/walking I may have seen you.
5/10/15. You were standing in place but defi-
nitely felt the connection. Your poetic prose
surprises me. Is this you?
Toshis girl, you are my world, your David
Bowie hair warms the hair, when you bring
my noodles I love you oodles, I want to give
you something spicy because you are so
sweet to me. - dj redbull Ferrari
We chatted in the check-out line, about the
weight of oranges, fruit trees, and flower
buds. Would love to brunch with you...... Hope
to see you again
I SAW YOU TAKE THAT FIRST STEP.
Toward making a change in your life. I know
it isn’t easy. It’s hard and it hurts. It can be
hard to remember why you’re even doing it.
Remember, you’re doing it for YOU
MARK!
Congratulations!!! All your hard work paid off
and we couldn’t be more proud of you. The
next big adventure is up to you! We know
you’ll succeed in whatever you do

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Are you willing to entertain an outlandish possibility? Here’s my vision: You will soon
be offered unexpected assistance, either through the machinations of a “guardian angel” or the messy blessings
of a shape-shifting spirit. This divine intervention will make it possible for you to demolish a big, bad obstacle
you’ve been trying to find a way around. Even if you have trouble believing in the literal factuality of my prophecy,
here’s what I suspect: It will at least come true in a metaphorical sense — which is the truest kind of truth of all.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Glory” is the theme song of the film Selma. It’s an anthem about the ongoing struggle
for equal rights by African Americans. I want to borrow one of its lines for your use in the coming weeks: “Freedom
is like a religion to us.” I think those will be good words for you to live by. Are you part of a group that suffers
oppression and injustice? Are you mixed up in a situation that squashes your self-expression? Are you being
squelched by the conditioned habits of your own unconscious mind? It’s high time to rebel. The quest for libera-
tion should be your spiritual calling.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you’re planning on breaking a taboo, sneaking into a forbidden zone or getting
intimate with an edge-dweller, don’t tell boastful stories about what you’re doing. For now, secrecy is not only sexy;
it’s a smart way to keep you safe and effective. Usually I’m fond of you telling the whole truth. I like it when you
reveal the nuanced depths of your feelings. But right now I favor a more cautious approach to communication.
Until your explorations have progressed further, I suggest that you only discuss them sparingly. As you put your
experiments in motion, share the details on a need-to-know basis.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There are many possible ways to create and manage a close relationship.
Here’s one of my favorite models: when two independent, self-responsible souls pledge to help each other activate
the best versions of themselves. If you don’t have a partnership like this, the near future will be a favorable time to
find one. And if you already do have an intimate alliance in which the two of you synergize each other’s quest for
individuation, the coming weeks could bring you breathtaking breakthroughs.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s a challenge to drive a car through Canada’s far north. For example, if you
want to get from Dawson in the Yukon Territory to Inuvik in the Northwest Territory, you take Dempster Highway.
It’s gravel road for the entire 417-mile trip, so the ride is rough. Bring a spare tire and extra gasoline, since there’s
just one service station along the way. On the plus side, the scenery is thrilling. The permafrost in the soil makes
the trees grow in odd shapes, almost like they’re drunk. You can see caribou, wolverines, lynx, bears and countless
birds. Right now, the sun is up 20 hours every day. And the tundra? You’ve never seen anything like it. Even if you
don’t make a trip like this, Capricorn, I’m guessing you will soon embark on a metaphorically similar version. With
the right attitude and preparation, you will have fun and grow more courageous.
MT. PISGAH FLOWER GIRL Wild Flower Show,

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author James Joyce wrote Ulysses, one of the most celebrated and
influential novels of the 20th century. The narrative is both experimental and tightly structured. Its chaotic
stream-of-consciousness passages are painstakingly crafted. (Anyone who wonders how the astrological sign
of Aquarius can be jointly ruled by the rebellious planet Uranus and the disciplinarian planet Saturn need only
examine this book for evidence.) Joyce claimed he labored over Ulysses for 20,000 hours. That’s the equivalent
of devoting eight hours a day, 350 days a year, for over seven years. Will you ever work that hard and long on a
project, Aquarius? If so, now would be an auspicious time to start.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The English writer and caricaturist Max Beerbohm moved away from his native land
when he was 37 years old. He settled in Rapallo, Italy, where he lived for much of the rest of his life. Here’s the
twist: When he died at age 83, he had still not learned to speak Italian. For 40 years, he used his native tongue in
his foreign home. This is a failing you can’t afford to have in the coming months, Pisces. The old proverb “When in
Rome, do as the Romans,” has never been so important for you to observe.
