Huh. I wonder if I (and any interested Facebook hiveminders -- meaning you!) can glean any interesting insights from a full listing of my freewillastrology horoscopes for the week . . . Sun (Cancer in the 5th): No other structure on the planet is longer than the Great Wall of China, which stretches 3,945 miles. Its not actually one unbroken span, though. Some sections arent connected, and there are redundant branches that are roughly parallel to the main structure. It reminds me of your own personal Great Wall, which is monumental yet permeable, strong in some ways but weak in others, daunting to the casual observer but less so to those who take the time to study it. Now is an excellent time to take inventory of that wall of yours. Is it serving you well? Is it keeping out the influences you dont want but allowing in the influences you do want? Could it use some renovation? Are you willing to reimagine what its purpose is and how you want it to work for you in the future? Rising (Pisces): At age 80, author Joan Didion has published five novels, ten works of non-fiction, and five screenplays. When she was 27, she wrote, I have already lost touch with a couple of people I used to be. That wasnt a good thing, she added: We are well-advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the minds door and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. I recommend her counsel to you in the coming months, Pisces. Get reacquainted with the old selves you have outgrown and abandoned. Moon (Aries in the 1st): Lord Byron (1788-1824) was an English poet who loved animals. In the course of his life, he not only had dogs and cats as pets, but also monkeys, horses, peacocks, geese, a crocodile, a falcon, a crane, and a parrot. When he enrolled in Trinity College at age 17, he was upset that the schools rules forbade students from having pet dogs, which meant he couldnt bring his adored Newfoundland dog Boatswain. There was no regulation, however, against having a tame bear as a pet. So Byron got one and named it Bruin. I think its time for you to find a workaround like that, Aries. Be cunning. Try a gambit or two. Find a loophole. Mercury (Cancer in the 4th): No other structure on the planet is longer than the Great Wall of China, which stretches 3,945 miles. Its not actually one unbroken span, though. Some sections arent connected, and there are redundant branches that are roughly parallel to the main structure. It reminds me of your own personal Great Wall, which is monumental yet permeable, strong in some ways but weak in others, daunting to the casual observer but less so to those who take the time to study it. Now is an excellent time to take inventory of that wall of yours. Is it serving you well? Is it keeping out the influences you dont want but allowing in the influences you do want? Could it use some renovation? Are you willing to reimagine what its purpose is and how you want it to work for you in the future? Venus (Gemini in the 3rd): Through the scientific magic of grafting, a single tree can be altered to grow several different kinds of fruit at the same time. One type of fruit salad tree produces apricots, nectarines, plums, and peaches, while another bears grapefruits, lemons, oranges, limes, and tangelos. Im thinking this might be an apt and inspiring symbol for you in the coming months, Gemini. What multiple blooms will you create on your own metaphorical version of a fruit salad tree? Mars (Libra in the 7th): Even if you are not formally enrolled in a course of study or a training program, you are nevertheless being schooled. Maybe youre not fully conscious of what you have been learning. Maybe your teachers are disguised or unwitting. But I assure you that the universe has been dropping some intense new knowledge on you. The coming week will be an excellent time to become more conscious of the lessons you have been absorbing. If you have intuitions about where this educational drama should go next, be proactive about making that happen. Jupiter (Scorpio in the 7th): You now have a special ability to detect transformations that are happening below the threshold of everyone elses awareness. Anything that has been hidden or unknown will reveal itself to your gentle probes. You will also be skilled at communicating your discoveries to people who are important to you. Take full advantage of these superpowers. Dont underestimate how pivotal a role you can play as a teacher, guide, and catalyst. The future success of your collaborative efforts depends on your next moves. Saturn (Libra in the 7th): Even if you are not formally enrolled in a course of study or a training program, you are nevertheless being schooled. Maybe youre not fully conscious of what you have been learning. Maybe your teachers are disguised or unwitting. But I assure you that the universe has been dropping some intense new knowledge on you. The coming week will be an excellent time to become more conscious of the lessons you have been absorbing. If you have intuitions about where this educational drama should go next, be proactive about making that happen. Uranus (Sagittarius in the 8th): Harper Lee was born and raised in Alabama. At the age of 23, she relocated to New York City with hopes of becoming a writer. It was a struggle. To support herself, she worked as a ticket agent for airline companies. Finding the time to develop her craft was difficult. Seven years went by. Then one Christmas, two friends gave her a remarkable gift: enough money to quit her job and work on her writing for a year. During that grace period, Lee created the basics for a book that won her a Pulitzer Prize: To Kill a Mockingbird. I dont foresee anything quite as dramatic for you in the coming months, Sagittarius. But I do suspect you will receive unexpected help that provides you with the slack and spaciousness you need to lay the foundations for a future creation. Neptune (Sagittarius in the 9th): Harper Lee was born and raised in Alabama. At the age of 23, she relocated to New York City with hopes of becoming a writer. It was a struggle. To support herself, she worked as a ticket agent for airline companies. Finding the time to develop her craft was difficult. Seven years went by.

But I do suspect you will receive unexpected help that provides you with the slack and spaciousness you need to lay the foundations for a future creation. Pluto (Libra in the 7th): Even if you are not formally enrolled in a course of study or a training program, you are nevertheless being schooled. Maybe youre not fully conscious of what you have been learning. Maybe your teachers are disguised or unwitting. But I assure you that the universe has been dropping some intense new knowledge on you. The coming week will be an excellent time to become more conscious of the lessons you have been absorbing.

True Node (Cancer in the 4th): No other structure on the planet is longer than the Great Wall of China, which stretches 3,945 miles. Its not actually one unbroken span, though. Some sections arent connected, and there are redundant branches that are roughly parallel to the main structure. It reminds me of your own personal Great Wall, which is monumental yet permeable, strong in some ways but weak in others, daunting to the casual observer but less so to those who take the time to study it.

Could it use some renovation? Are you willing to reimagine what its purpose is and how you want it to work for you in the future? Chiron (Taurus in the 2nd): Whenever I lost one of my baby teeth as a kid, I put it under my pillow before I went to sleep. During the night, the Tooth Fairy sneaked into my room to snatch the tooth, and in its place left me 25 cents. The same crazy thing happened to every kid I knew, although for unknown reasons my friend John always got five dollars for each of his teeth -- far more than the rest of us. I see a metaphorically comparable development in your life, Taurus. It probably wont involve teeth or a visit from the Tooth Fairy. Rather, you will finally be compensated for a loss or deprivation or disappearance that you experienced in the past. I expect the restitution will be generous, too -- more like Johns than mine.
