ASTROLOGY
BY ROB BREZSNY
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) : During the coming weeks, everything that needs to happen will
indeed happen only if you surprise yourself on a regular basis. So I hope you will place yourself
in unpredictable situations where you won’t be able to rely on well-rehearsed responses. I trust
that you will regard innocence and curiosity and spontaneity as your superpowers. Your willing-
ness to change your mind won’t be a mark of weakness but rather a sign of strength.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) : In the animated kids’ film Over the Hedge, ten talking ani-
mals come upon a massive, towering hedge they’ve never seen. The friendly group consists of
a skunk, red squirrel, box turtle, two opossums and five porcupines. The hedge perplexes and
mystifies them. It makes them nervous. There’s nothing comparable to it in their previous ex-
perience. One of the porcupines says she would be less afraid of it if she just knew what it was
called, whereupon the red squirrel suggests that from now on they refer to it as “Steve.” After
that, they all feel better. I recommend that you borrow their strategy in the coming weeks. If a
Big Unknown arrives in your vicinity, dub it “Steve” or “Betty.”

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) : I urge you to locate a metaphorical or very literal door that
will give you access to a place that affords you more freedom and healing and support. Maybe
you already know about the existence of this door—or maybe it’s not yet on your radar. Here’s
advice from Clarissa Pinkola Éstes that might help. “If you have a deep scar, that is a door,” she
writes. “If you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much
that you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life,
that is a door.”
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) : Musician Carole Kaye is the most famous bass guitarist you’ve
never heard of. Over the course of five decades, she has plied her soulful talents on more than
10,000 recordings, including gems by Frank Zappa, Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, Simon and
Garfunkel and the Beach Boys. Twenty-seven-time Grammy winner Quincy Jones has testified
that Kaye has written “some of the most beautiful themes I’ve ever heard in my life” and that
she “could do anything and leave men in the dust.” I trust this horoscope will expand the number
of people who appreciate her. I also hope you’ll be inspired to become more active in spreading
the word about the gifts that you have to offer the world. It’s high time to make sure that people
know more of the beautiful truth about you.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) : Born under the sign of Libra, Ivan Kharchenko (1918–1989) was a
military officer and engineer for the Soviet army. His specialty was disarming explosive devices
before they detonated. Over the course of his career, he defused an estimated 50,000 bombs
and mines. Let’s make him your patron saint for the coming weeks. Why? Because I suspect you
will be able to summon a metaphorical version of his power: an extraordinary capacity to keep
volatile situations from blowing up. You’ll be a virtuoso at waging peace and preventing strife.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) : There was a time, less than a century ago, when pink was
considered a masculine color and blue a feminine hue. In previous eras, many European men
sported long hair, wore high heels and favored clothes with floral patterns. Franklin D. Roos-
evelt, one of America’s most prominent twentieth-century presidents, sometimes wore skirts
and feather-bedecked hats as a child. With these facts as your keystone, and in accordance with
astrological omens, I encourage you to experiment with your own gender expressions in the
coming weeks. It’s prime time to have fun with the way you interpret what it means to be a man
or woman—or any other gender you might consider yourself to be.
the sixth and ninth centuries as we do about other eras. Compared to the times that preceded
and followed it, cultural and literary energies were low. Fewer records were kept. Governments
were weaker and commerce was less vigorous. But historians don’t like to use the term “Dark
Ages” to name that period because it brought many important developments and activities,
such as improvements in farming techniques. So in some ways, “Lost Ages” might be a more
apropos descriptor. Now let’s turn our attention to a metaphorically comparable phase of your
own past, Capricorn: an era that’s a bit fuzzy in your memory; a phase about which your under-
standing is incomplete. I suspect that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to revisit that
part of your life and see what new evidence and insights you can mine.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) : Why do some American libraries ban certain books, ensur-
ing they’re unavailable to local readers? The reasons may be because they feature profanity
or include references to sex, drug use, the occult, atheism and unusual political viewpoints.
Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis is one of the most frequently censored books. Others are Maya
Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Beloved, by Toni Morrison and The Kite Runner,
by Khaled Hosseini. In my astrological opinion, these are exactly the kinds of books you should
especially seek out in the coming weeks. In fact, I suggest you commune with a variety of art and
ideas and influences that are controversial, provocative and intriguing.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) : At the age of 97, Piscean cartoonist Al Jaffee is still creating
new material for the satirical Mad magazine, where he has worked since 1964. There was one
63-year stretch when his comic stylings appeared in all but one of Mad’s monthly issues. I nomi-
nate him to be your role model during the next four weeks. It’s a favorable time for you to access
and express a high degree of tenacity, stamina and consistency.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) : According to estimates by population experts, about
109 billion humans have been born on planet Earth over the millennia. And yet I’m quite sure
that not a single one of those other individuals has been anything like you. You are absolutely
unique, an unmatched treasure, a one-of-a-kind creation with your own special blend of quali-
ties. And in my prophetic view, you’re ready to fully acknowledge and celebrate these facts on a
higher octave than ever before. It’s high time for you to own your deepest authenticity; to work
with extra devotion to express your soul’s code; to unabashedly claim your idiosyncratic genius.

tention to the first brick or stone that is laid in the earth to initiate the construction of a future
building. It’s called a cornerstone or foundation stone. All further work to create the new struc-
ture refers back to this original building block and depends on it. I’m pleased to inform you that
now is a favorable phase to put your own metaphorical cornerstone in place, Virgo. You’re ready
to begin erecting a structure or system that will serve you for years to come. Be sure you select
the right place for it, as well as the best building materials.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) : “When you want happiness, what are you wanting?” asks aphorist
Olivia Dresher. The repeat of an event that made you feel good in the past? A sweet adventure
you’ve thought about but never actually experienced? Here’s a third possibility. Maybe happi-
ness is a state you could feel no matter what your circumstances are; maybe you could learn
how to relax into life exactly as it is and feel glad about your destiny wherever it takes you. In
my opinion, Leo, that third approach to happiness will be especially natural for you to foster in
the coming weeks.
