ARIES (March 21-April 19): For a limited time only, youre in a position to consciously choose your next problems. This is a tremendous opportunity that I hope you wont allow to go to waste. By being proactive, you can ensure the arrival of fun and interesting dilemmas, thereby avoiding the frustrating and draining kind.

Second, maybe you should spend money on enhancing romance, either by taking a workshop to upgrade your intimacy skills or getting creative about fostering togetherness. Another possibility is that you should add imaginative and humorous touches to your love-making, like by doing it in a bed full of money.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I was watching a martial arts competition on ESPN TV. It featured a fierce macho dance-off, in which rivals took turns brandishing their high-octane warrior choreography. At one point the announcer waxed poetic as the eventual winner pulled off a seemingly impossible move: And that was a corkscrew illusion twist rodeo spin! In the coming week, Aries, I urge you to do something like that yourself maybe even a few times. As you seek to take your game to a higher level, unveil your personal version of the corkscrew illusion twist rodeo spin.

ARIES (March 21- April 19): Dont tell me you have nothing to be thankful for, Aries. Your parents could have named you Hooligan or Lightsaber or Flu, and they didnt. There are no photos floating around the internet that show you riding a pig in the nude. No one has ever broken up with you via text message. Now please keep going in the direction Ive pointed you.

In The Devil’s Dictionary, Ambrose Bierce defines history as follows: “an account mostly false, of events mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers, mostly knaves, and soldiers, mostly fools.” Bear that in mind as you interpret what I mean by the following: You won’t make history in the coming weeks.

Obama is the first to acknowledge his bloodline. In the coming weeks, I see you as being in a position with certain metaphorical resemblances to Obama. Youll have the opportunity, though it may be a bit nerve-wracking, to thrive by celebrating a truth that no one before you has been brave enough to take advantage of.

So be like the memoirist Anais Nin: a collector of secrets, a connoisseur of intimacy, a fiercely sensitive alchemist who knows her own inner terrain better than anyone else knows their inner terrain.

But that's only partly useful if you have not yet won the most important struggle for liberation, which is the freedom from your own unconscious habits and conditioned responses. Becoming an independent agent who's not an unwitting slave to his or her past is one of the most heroic feats a human being can accomplish.

Some of them arent very interesting to me like those sought out by people who use cocaine or methamphetamines, for instance while others are states I aspire to inhabit, like lucid dreaming, deep meditation and a visceral perception of the fact that love is the fundamental law of the universe.

Broke. Payday. Broke. Payday. Another said, Oh, no, not again. Again. Again. But the testimony I really wanted to call your attention to is this: I never learned how to swashbuckle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The European Union has had rules banning the sale of ugly carrots with knobby protrusions, cucumbers that are grossly curved and equally unaesthetic specimens of 24 other fruits and vegetables. Recently that changed, however. The stiff standards were relaxed.

Your health is likely to be at its peak, and so will your generosity of spirit. Your senses will bring you a wealth of fresh perceptions and your love of life will expand and intensify. And who knows? This enhanced vigor might help you corral a pile of cash or hot suitors or an upgrade of social status.

Companies like IBM, General Electric, Boeing, and others rake in over $100 billion of subsidies each year. In other words, socialism has been a prominent feature of our so-called capitalist system for a long time.

Our country is at war in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as with a ghostly omnipresent foe known as terrorism. Our national debt is stupendous, our stock market has plunged and many companies once thought to be towers of strength have failed. Meanwhile, right next door, Canada has universal healthcare and a budget surplus.

Our government spends an obscene fortune on its armed forces — almost as much as do all the other nations of the world combined. In fact, we are by far the most weaponized empire in the history of the world, with 761 military bases in over 100 countries. If our military costs were cut down to a more reasonable size — say the same as China’s — we’d have a trillion-dollar bonus to deal with the financial infection that erupted here and sent toxic ripples throughout the world. Keeping that in mind as a metaphor, Aries, make this your hypothesis: By reducing the hostility, combativeness and judgmental ire that you personally generate, you’ll be far more likely to navigate your way toward prosperity.

Your challenge will be to resist the temptation to believe that youre more dung than stars, or more stars than dung. That might be hard, given the fact that practically everyone around you believes they are one or the other. But I promise you that you have the power to do it.

Thank you. Unraveled Taurus. Dear Unraveled Taurus: I love you with all my heart and soul and mind. I have adored you since the beginning of time and will worship your gorgeous genius until eternity changes into infinity. Dear All the Other Tauruses in the World: Everything I just told Unraveled Taurus I now say to you as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):.
