Free Will Astrology


Every week I read my horoscope in the Weekly (Boise Weekly, now Eugene Weekly). It’s always “Free Will Astrology with Rob Brezsny”. This week’s horoscope made me really stop in my tracks… and I was at Burrito Boy, if that tells you anything. So seriously, read it:

“In Salman Rushdie's story "The Prophet's Hair," a greedy man intentionally cripples his four sons when they're young, hoping to turn them into beggars who elicit profound sympathy and large cash donations. The plan is successful. His sons earn him a good income. Later, however, he comes into possession of a potent talisman -- a strand of hair from the prophet Mohammed -- and it magically heals the sons' ailments. They're no longer able to pull in big bucks, and grief descends upon the family. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I think there's a variation on these themes at work in your own life. A "magic charm" is available that could reverse or at least neutralize an old handicap. Do you have the pluck to surrender the questionable rewards that your impairment has brought you?”

If you want to read yours, just click on the title of the blog, that is, after you pick up your jaw after reading mine.

  2. Okay mine's not a cool as yours but I'm gonna share anyway!

    Don't whine and complain just because your guardian angel seems to be driving hard bargains lately. You're actually on better speaking terms now than you've been in some time. Before the sweeter talk can begin, though, the two of you still have to work out kinks left over from previous miscommunications. Besides, there's a method in your guardian angel's madness, a reason why she or he is driving hard bargains: She or he is testing you to see if you're willing and able to stretch your imagination to accommodate the rowdier blessings you'll soon be tempted with.

    Can I hope a rowdier blessing comes in the form of time to write again!?!?! :)

  3. I don't know, that's pretty cool. Rowdier blessings? It's something to think about... Now you have to follow this every week. I put a link on the right on my blog.
