Next Week in Review
16 May 2011
TAURUS
As screwed
up as you have been lately, maybe you can finally stop running and turn
around and face your...what shall we call them...your adversaries?
That’s exactly what they are. People who are calling your behavior to
account and demanding a complete ethical transformation of your whole
life. Is it just a setup? Are people really conspiring to mess your
whole scene up when you are such a nice person? Or is there something to
learn from all this?At last you’re coming back to consciousness.
Starting in June 2011 and through the next several months,
Jupiter in Taurus and the Nodes in Mutable signs can bring greater prosperity and more options along with a skitzy madness.

GEMINI
either going out of your freakin’ mind every fifteen minutes over the
fortune you are amassing or losing, or you are turning out to be just
another impractical visionary who deep down doesn’t really give a damn
about anything but living for the moment in the brief instant you are
still alive. Problem is, when your projects or dreams are tied to what
other people require of you, you can’t just waltz off into an imaginary
golden fantasy. Or can you?

Try Again |

Sometimes it happens that you become one, in some rare moment. Watch
the ocean, the tremendous wildness of it--and suddenly you forget your
split, your schizophrenia; you relax. Or, moving in the Himalayas,
seeing the virgin snow on the Himalayan peaks, suddenly a coolness
surrounds you and you need not be false because there is no other human
being to be false to. You fall together. Or, listening to beautiful
music, you fall together. Whenever, in whatsoever situation, you become
one, a peace, a happiness, a bliss, surrounds you, arises in you. You
feel fulfilled. There is no need to wait for these moments--these
moments can become your natural life. These extraordinary moments can
become ordinary moments - that is the whole effort of Zen. You can live
an extraordinary life in a very ordinary life: cutting wood, chopping
wood, carrying water from the well, you can be tremendously at ease with
yourself. Cleaning the floor, cooking food, washing the clothes, you
can be perfectly at ease--because the whole question is of you doing
your action totally, enjoying, delighting in it.
Osho Dang Dang Doko Dang Chapter 3
Commentary:
This figure walking in nature shows us that beauty can
be found in the simple, ordinary things of life. We so easily take this
beautiful world we live in for granted. Cleaning the house, tending the
garden, cooking a meal--the most mundane tasks take on a sacred quality
when they are performed with your total involvement, with love, and for
their own sake, without thought of recognition or reward. You are
facing a time now when this easy, natural and utterly ordinary approach
to the situations you encounter will bring far better results than any
attempt on your part to be brilliant, clever, or otherwise
extra-ordinary. Forget all about making headlines by inventing the
latest widget, or dazzling your friends and colleagues with your unique
star quality. The special gift you have to offer now is presented best
by just taking things easily and simply, one step at a time.
Tomorrow's full moon looks like a doozie, for those astrologically-inclined.
