HAPPY BIRTHDAY Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18) You may sometimes be drawn to people or places or ideas long before they can give you their gifts. Although you sense their potential value, you might have to ripen before you’ll be ready to receive their full bounty. Here’s how author Elias Canetti expressed it: “There are books, […]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18) The birds known as mound-builders are born more mature than other species. As soon as they peck themselves out of their eggs, they are well-coordinated, vigourous enough to hunt, and capable of flight. Right now I see a resemblance between them and many of you Aquarians. As soon as […]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21) Garnets are considered less valuable than diamonds. But out in the wild, there’s an intimate connection between these two gemstones.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21) The coming year will be a favourable time for you to nourish a deeper devotion to truth, beauty and goodness.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21) “Like all explorers, we are drawn to discover what’s out there without knowing yet if we have the courage to face it.” Buddhist teacher Pema Chödrön said that, and now I’m telling you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21) From the dawn of civilization until 1995, humans catalogued about 900 comets in our solar system. But since then, we have expanded that tally by over 3,000. Most of the recent discoveries have been made not by professional astronomers, but by laypersons, including two 13-year-olds. They have used the […]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21) Some athletes think it’s unwise to have sex before a big game. They believe it diminishes the raw physical power they need to excel. For them, abstinence is crucial for victory. But scientific studies contradict this theory. There’s evidence that boinking increases testosterone levels for both men and women. […]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21) Elsie de Wolfe (1859-1950) was a pioneer in the art of interior design. She described herself as “a rebel in an ugly world.” Early in her career she vowed, “I’m going to make everything around me beautiful,” and she often did just that. In part through her influence, the […]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21) Is it possible to express a benevolent form of vanity? I say yes. In the coming weeks, your boasts may be quite lyrical and therapeutic. They may even uplift and motivate those who hear them. Acts of self-aggrandizement that would normally cast long shadows might instead produce generous results. […]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21) I expect you to be in a state of continual birth for the next four weeks. Awakening and activation will come naturally.
