She testified, "I was the shyest human ever invented, but I had a lion inside me that wouldn't shut up." If you have a sleeping lion inside you, Virgo, I expect it to wake up soon. Life was a challenge when she was growing up, though. She was intelligent, talented, and beautiful. 22: Virgo actor Ingrid Bergman (1915–1982) won the most prestigious awards possible for her work in films, TV, and theater: Oscars, Emmys, and a Tony. I'm telling you this, Leo, because I think the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to claim a healthy dose of divine intoxication.

So the truth is that divine intoxication is crucial for the common good. In fact, the rational world grows stale and begins to decay without these interludes. I agree that we all have an instinctive longing for divine intoxication, but I believe that the rational world needs us to periodically fulfill our longing for divine intoxication. Good is based on common interest, which entails consideration of the future." I'm going to dissent from Bataille's view.

LEO: July 23 – August 22: Philosopher Georges Bataille wrote, "The lesson of Wuthering Heights, of Greek tragedy and, ultimately, of all religions, is that there is an instinctive tendency towards divine intoxication which the rational world of calculation cannot bear. Your assignment is to nurture your psychological and spiritual health by letting go. But that's not for you to worry and wonder about right now. Maybe in a few weeks you will have gained so much relaxed new wisdom that you'll be inspired to make fresh attempts at holding together and controlling. "Tired of trying to control what cannot be controlled." Here's good news for her and all Cancerians: You have cosmic permission to surrender - to no longer try to hold things together that can't be held or try to control what can't be controlled. I think you should be like the tiny old woman: Ask life, fate, people, spirits, and gods to bring you all of their most wonderful toppings.ĬANCER: June 21 – July 22: "I am tired of trying to hold things together that cannot be held," testifies Cancerian novelist Erin Morgenstern. But given the current astrological omens, I'll make an exception for you in the next three weeks. It's almost always preferable to be very specific in knowing what you want and asking for it. GEMINI: May 21 – June 20: A blogger named Valentine Cassius reports, "A tiny old woman came into the deli where I work and ordered a 'wonderful turkey sandwich.' When asked what she wanted on the sandwich other than turkey, she said 'all of your most wonderful toppings.'" Here's my response to that: The tiny old woman's approach usually isn't very effective. (P.S., Cesar Chavez said: "You are never strong enough that you don't need help.") It's the resource-gathering phase of your cycle. I encourage you to also seek out other kinds of help and guidance and stimulation that you'd benefit from. If you were ever going to acquire such an ally, the coming weeks would be prime time to do so. TAURUS: April 20 – May 20: Here's the definition of an emotional-support animal: "a companion animal that provides therapeutic benefit to a person with a mental or psychiatric disability." I don't mean to be flippant, but I think every one of us has at least one mental or psychiatric disability that would benefit from the company of an emotional-support animal.

When you speak, you could be more beautiful than silence as much as 80 percent of the time. You're primed to be extra expressive and interesting. But here's a nice surprise: You could exceed that benchmark during the next three weeks. Even at our very best, when we're soaring with articulate vitality, it's hard to be more beautiful than silence for more than, say, 50 percent of the time. ARIES: March 21 – April 19: "Open your mouth only if what you are going to say is more beautiful than silence," declares an Arab proverb.
