ARIES (March 21-April 19): You wouldn’t expect a five-year-old child to paint a facsimile of Picasso’s Guernica
or sing Puccini’s opera, La Boheme. Similarly, you shouldn’t fault your companions and you for not being perfect
masters of the art of intimate relationships. In fact, most of us are amateurs. We may have taken countless
classes in math, science, literature and history, but have never had a single lesson from teachers whose area of
expertise is the hard work required to create a healthy partnership. I mention this, Aries, because the next seven
weeks will be an excellent time for you to remedy this deficiency. Homework assignments: What can you do to
build your emotional intelligence? How can you learn more about the art of creating vigorous togetherness?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to slow down and create a
wealth of spacious serenity. Use an unhurried, step-by-step approach to soothe yourself. With a glint in your eye
and a lilt in your voice, say sweet things to yourself. In a spirit of play and amusement, pet and pamper yourself
as you would a beloved animal. Can you handle that much self-love, Taurus? I think you can. It’s high time for
you to be a genius of relaxation, attending tenderly to all the little details that make you feel at ease and in love
with the world.
IT’S FREE TO PLACE AN
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “If an angel were to tell us something of his philosophies, I do believe some of his
propositions would sound like 2 x 2 = 13.” So said the German scientist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-
1799). Now maybe you don’t believe in the existence of angels, and so you imagine his idea doesn’t apply to
you. But I’m here to tell you that an influence equivalent to an angel will soon appear in your vicinity. Maybe it’ll
be a numinous figure in your dreams, or a charismatic person you admire, or a vivid memory resurrected in an
unexpected form, or a bright fantasy springing to life. And that “angel” will present a proposition that sounds like
2 x 2 = 13.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Unless you have an off-road vehicle, you can’t drive directly from North America to
South America. The Pan-American Highway stretches from Prudhoe Bay in northern Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina
— a distance of about 19,000 miles — except for a 100-mile patch of swampy rainforest in Panama. I’d like to
call your attention to a comparable break in continuity that affects your own inner terrain, Cancerian — a grey
area where two important areas of your life remain unlinked. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to close
the gap.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Based in Korea, Samsung is a world leader in selling smartphones and other information
technology. But it didn’t start out that way. In its original form, back in 1938, it primarily sold noodles and dried
fish. By 1954, it had expanded into wool manufacturing. More than three decades after its launch as a company,
it further diversified, adding electronics to its repertoire. According to my reading of the astrological omens, the
next ten months should be an excellent time for you to do the equivalent of branching out from noodles and
dried fish to electronics. And the coming six weeks will be quite favorable for formulating your plans and planting
your seeds.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In my opinion, you’re not quite ready to launch full-tilt into the rebuilding phase. You
still have a bit more work to do on tearing down the old stuff that’s in the way of where the new stuff will go. So I
recommend that you put an “Under Construction” sign outside your door, preferably with flashing yellow lights.
This should provide you with protection from those who don’t understand the complexity of the process you’re
engaged in.

pasted me in the breezeway and whispered
to me (you have paint on your pants).

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’re a good candidate for the following roles: 1. a skeptical optimist who is both dis-
cerning and open-minded; 2. a robust truth-teller who specializes in interesting truths; 3. a charming extremist
who’s capable of solving stubborn riddles; 4. a smooth operator who keeps everyone calm even as you initiate
big changes; 5. an enlightened game-player who reforms or avoids games that abuse beauty’s power.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Actress and author Carrie Fisher wrote three autobiographies. Speed skating
Olympics star Apolo Anton Ohno published his autobiography at age 20. The rascal occultist Aleister Crowley
produced an “autohagiography.” To understand that odd term, keep in mind that “hagiography” is an account of
the life of a saint, so adding “auto” means it’s the biography of a saint penned by the saint himself. I’m bringing
up these fun facts in hope of encouraging you to ruminate at length on your life story. If you don’t have time to
write a whole book, please take a few hours to remember in detail the gloriously twisty path you have trod from
birth until now. According to my reading of the astrological omens, the best way to heal what needs to be healed
is to steep yourself in a detailed meditation on the history of your mysterious destiny.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you go to the Historical Museum of the Palatinate in Germany, you will
see a jug of wine that was bottled in 1687. In accordance with astrological omens, Sagittarius, I suggest that you
find a metaphorical version of this vintage beverage — and then metaphorically drink it! In my opinion, it’s time
for you to partake of a pleasure that has been patiently waiting for you to enjoy it. The moment is ripe for you to
try an experience you’ve postponed, to call in favors that have been owed to you, to finally do fun things you’ve
been saving for the right occasion.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If a late-night TV talk show called and asked me to be a guest, I’d say no. If
People magazine wanted to do a story on me, I’d decline. What good is fame like that? It might briefly puff up my
ego, but it wouldn’t enhance my ability to create useful oracles for you. The notoriety that would come my way
might even distract me from doing what I love to do. So I prefer to remain an anonymous celebrity, as I am now,
addressing your deep self with my deep self. My messages are more valuable to you if I remain an enigmatic
ally instead of just another cartoony media personality. By the way, I suspect you’ll soon face a comparable
question. Your choice will be between what’s flashy and what’s authentic; between feeding your ego and feeding
your soul.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A Canadian guy named Harold Hackett likes to put messages in bottles that
he throws out into the Atlantic Ocean from his home on Prince Edward island. Since he started in 1996, he has
dispatched over 5,000 missives into the unknown, asking the strangers who might find them to write back to
him. To his delight, he has received more than 3,000 responses from as far away as Russia, Scotland and West
Africa. I suspect that if you launch a comparable mission sometime soon, Aquarius, your success rate wouldn’t
be quite that high, but still good. What long-range inquiries or invitations might you send out in the direction of
the frontier?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Intensify” is one of your words of power these days. So are “fortify,” “reinforce”
and “buttress.” Anything you do to intensify your devotion and focus will be rewarded by an intensification of
life’s gifts to you. As you take steps to fortify your sense of security and stability, you will activate dormant
reserves of resilience. If you reinforce your connections with reliable allies, you will set in motion forces that will
ultimately bring you help you didn’t even know you needed. If you buttress the bridge that links your past and
future, you will ensure that your old way of making magic will energize your new way.

Sophie is a sweet
and calm older gal.
She enjoys spending
time with humans
getting lots of love
and attention, as well
as some alone time
to nap and stare out
windows. Sophie has
had a hard time with
other cats and would likely prefer to be the only animal
in the home. No need to worry though because she has
a lot of aff ection to give. Sophie’s energy level is on the
low side and she is looking for a quiet home where she
can get a lot of time to relax. Sleeping on laps and in
those awe-inspiring sun beams are also preferred.
