The advice he gives below, which is in accordance with your astrological omens, is designed to help you avoid the fate he warns against.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

I have a Piscean friend who does modern-day cave paintings. She hikes out to underground caverns and abandoned gold mines, where she creates murals on stony walls. Only a few friends know about her unusual hobby. She shows us photos of her work, but otherwise keeps it secret. She says it’s a pleasurable spiritual practice […]

Cartoon character Homer Simpson is on record as saying that whenever he learns something new, it pushes some old stuff out of his brain.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Take what you really need, Capricorn, but don’t take what you just sort of want. That’s my advice to you. Haggle with life, yes, but insist only on the specific essentials and forgo irrelevant goodies. A similar principle applies as you seek the information you crave: Formulate precise questions that will win you the exact […]

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

I don’t mean to sound melodramatic, and I certainly don’t want to encourage you to do something foolish, but if you’ve been pondering the possibility of storming the castle, this would be a good time to do so. What exactly am I implying with the phrase “storming the castle”? Well, anything that involves a brave […]
