HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your oracle comes from Aries poet Octavio Paz: “The path the ancestors cleared is overgrown, unused. The other path, smooth and broad, is crowded with travellers. It goes nowhere. There’s a third path: mine. Before me, no one. Behind me, no one. Alone, I find my way.” APRIL FOOL! […]

Rob Brezsny helps us all get through with a special COVID-19 edition of the horoscopes.
W e interrupt your regularly scheduled horoscopes to offer insights about the virus-driven turning point that the whole world is now experiencing. As you’ve probably guessed, all of us are being invited to re-evaluate everything we think we know about what it means to be human. I refer to this unprecedented juncture as The Tumultuous […]
Make productive mistakes, Libra
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PISCES (February 19-March 20) I suspect your fantasy life will be especially potent in the coming weeks. Your imagination will have an enhanced power to generate visions that could eventually manifest as actual events and situations. On the one hand, that could be dicey, because you can’t afford to over-indulge in fearful speculations […]
You are at a turning point, Virgo
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PISCES (February 19-March 20) In 1637, renowned English poet John Milton wrote “Lycidas,” a poetic elegy in honour of a friend. Reading it today, almost four centuries later, we are struck by how archaic and obscure the language is, with phrases like “O ye laurels” and “Ah! Who hath reft my dearest pledge?” […]
Seek out direct contact with the past, Leo
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PISCES (February 19-March 20) If you’re like most of us, you harbour desires for experiences that might be gratifying in some ways but draining in others. If you’re like most of us, you may on occasion get attached to situations that are mildly interesting, but divert you from situations that could be amazingly […]
Make do with what you don’t have, Aquarius
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PICES ( January 20- February 18) In 1908, British playwright W. Somerset Maugham reached the height of success. Four of his plays were being performed concurrently in four different London theatres. If you were ever in your life going to achieve anything near this level of overflowing popularity or attention, I suspect it […]
You are capable of a heroic feat of love, Gemini
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AQUARIUS ( January 20- February 18) Aquarius(Jan 20-Feb 18) Aquarian author Derek Walcott had a perspective on love that I suspect might come in handy for you during this romantic Valentine’s season. “Break a vase,” he wrote, “and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry […]
Seek inspiration from Picasso, Scorpio
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AQUARIUS ( January 20- February 18) According to my analysis, the year 2020 will be a time when you can have dramatic success as you re-evaluate and re-vision and revamp your understanding of your life purpose. Why were you born? What’s the nature of your unique genius? What are the best gifts you […]
Not every bridge must be burned, Sagittarius
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AQUARIUS ( January 20- February 18) Please don’t imitate or repeat yourself in the coming weeks. Refrain from relying on formulas that have worked for you before. Resolve to either ignore or rebel against your past as you dream up fresh gambits and adventures. Treat your whole life like an improvisatory game that […]
Claim all that you deserve, Taurus
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) I’m a big fan of self-editing. For example, every horoscope I write evolves over the course of at least three drafts. For each book I’ve published, I have written but then thrown away hundreds of pages that I ultimately deemed weren’t good enough to be a part of the […]
Think less of others’ opinions, Cancer
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPRICORN (December 22- January 19) “I love to be surprised by something I have never thought of,” declares Capricorn actor Ralph Fiennes. According to my analysis of the astrological aspects, you’ll be wise to make that one of your top mottoes in 2020. Why? First, life is likely to bring to your attention […]
Ditch the troublemakers, Cancer
CAPRICORN (December 22- January 19) Let’s get 2020 started with a proper send-off. According to my reading of the astrological omens, the coming months will bring you opportunities to achieve a host of liberations. Among the things from which you could be at least partially emancipated: stale old suffering, shrunken expectations, people who don’t appreciate […]
