Taurus Horoscope for week of September 8, 2005

From the window of my office I look down on a blackberry bush whose
berries are now ripening. In the last 20 minutes, I've watched a
sparrow figure out the best way to feast. At first the bird tried to
land on the flimsy branches of the bush, but after a few tries it
realized they couldn't hold its weight. Its revised strategy was to
grab a single berry in mid-swoop and alight on the branch of a nearby
apple tree so it could relax with its meal. It did this ten times. I
recommend a similar approach to you, Taurus. According to my
astrological analysis, you won't be able to enjoy your treats in the
place where you find them. You'll have to pluck them, fly away, and
savor them at a distance. Like the sparrow, you should keep returning
for refills.

We will ignore the cult of doom and gloom and embrace the cause of
zoom and boom. We will laugh at the stupidity of evil and hate, and
summon the brilliance to praise and create. No matter how upside-down
it all may temporarily appear, we will have no fear because we know
this secret: Life is crazily in love with us—wildly and innocently in
love with us.

Pronoia means that even if we can't see and don't know, primal
benefactors are plotting to emancipate us. The winds and tides are on
our side, forever and ever, amen. The fire and rain are scheming to
steal our pain. The sun and moon know our real names, and the animals
pray for us while we're dreaming. Do you believe in guardian angels
and divine helpers? Whether you do or not, they're always wangling to
give you the gifts you don't even realize you want. Can you guess how
many humble humans are busy making things for you to use and enjoy?


Gemini Horoscope for week of September 8, 2005

America's first President George Bush, a Gemini who reigned from 1988
to 1992, had almost as quirky and paradoxical a mind as his son, who
is the current leader of the free world. "I have strong opinions of
my own," Bush the First once said, "but I don't always agree with
them." Let that quizzical gem be your watchword in the coming days,
Gemini. Disavow three strong opinions you've been proud of in the
past, but which you no longer agree with. Try to get it through your
beautiful head that you're not the person you were when you first
acquired those old beliefs, and it's time to leave them behind.

The poet Muriel Rukeyser said the universe is composed of stories,
not of atoms. The physicist Werner Heisenberg declared that the
universe is made of music, not of matter. And we believe that if you
habitually expose yourself to toxic stories and music, you could wind
up living in the wrong universe, where it's impossible to become the
gorgeous genius you were born to be. That's why we implore you to
nourish yourself with delicious, nutritious tales and tunes that
inspire you to exercise your willpower for your highest good.

Astrologer Caroline Casey offers an apt metaphor to illustrate how
crucial it is for us to hear and read good stories. She notes that if
we don't have enough of the normal, healthy kind of iodine in our
bodies, we absorb radioactive iodine, which has entered the food
chain through nuclear test explosions conducted in the atmosphere.
Similarly, unless we fill ourselves up with stories that invigorate
us, we're more susceptible to sopping up the poisonous, degenerative
narratives.
