HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEMINI (May 21-June 20) “A finished person is a boring person,” writes author Anna Quindlan. I agree! Luckily, you are quite unfinished, and thus not at all boring—especially these days. More than ever before, you seem willing to treat yourself as an art project that’s worthy of your creative ingenuity—as a work-in-progress that’s […]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEMINI (May 21-June 20) According to novelist Octavia E. Butler, “Positive obsession is about not being able to stop just because you’re afraid and full of doubts.” That’s what I wish for you in the coming weeks, Gemini: positive obsession. It’s also what I expect! My analysis of the astrological omens suggests that […]
You’ve got the power to shatter mysterious barriers, Scorpio
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEMINI (May 21-June 20) “It’s OK to live a life others don’t understand,” writes author Jenna Woginrich.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEMINI! (May 21-June 20) “The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for,” writes author Barbara Kingsolver. “And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.” According to my […]
Love is a superpower you can use to make practical miracles
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAURUS! (April 20-May 20) Of all the signs, Tauruses are among the least likely to be egomaniacs. Most of you aren’t inclined to indulge in fits of braggadocio or outbreaks of narcissism. (I just heard one of my favourite virtuoso Taurus singers say she wasn’t a very good singer!) That’s why one of […]
Use the Global Healing Crisis to discover what’s absent in your life, Aquarius
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAURUS! (April 20-May 20) “The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious,” says businessperson and entrepreneur John Sculley.

It’s time to give yourself permission to ask dumb questions, Sagittarius
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAURUS! (April 20-May 20) Is there an area of your life where you would like a do-over?

The coming weeks will be an excellent time to prepare—not to actually take the leap, but rather make […]
Have compassion for your failures and weaknesses, Leo
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAURUS! (April 20-May 20) Renowned Taurus composer Johannes Brahms (1833–1897) completed his first symphony when he was 43 years old—even though he’d started work on it at age 22. Why did it take him so long? One factor was his reverence for Ludwig van Beethoven, the composer who had such a huge impact […]
Don’t do boring stuff, Cancer
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIES (March 21-April 19) Aries artist Vincent van Gogh got started on his life’s work relatively late. At ages 25 and 26 he made failed attempts to train as a pastor and serve as a missionary. He didn’t launch his art career in earnest until he was 27. During the next 10 years, […]
Prepare for the future that comes after the COVID-19 crisis, Libra
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIES (March 21-April 19) Moses did 40 years’ worth of hard work in behalf of his people, delivering them out of slavery in Egypt. Yet God didn’t allow him to enter into the Promised Land. Why? At the end of his travails, he made a minor mistake that angered God beyond reason. Petty? […]
Having sex six times a week is about right for Virgo
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIES! (March 21-April 19) “If all the world’s a stage, where the hell is the teleprompter,” asks aphorist Sami Feiring. In my astrological opinion, you Aries are the least likely of all the signs to identify with that perspective. While everyone else might wish they could be better prepared for the nonstop improvisational […]
