thank you, rob brezny!

this week's horoscope. Oh mysterious ones, shower me with the blessings of an open heart.. shower me with the blessings of an awakened heart.

I will drink it in.


AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "The question of evil," writes psychologist
James Hillman, "refers primarily to the anaesthetized heart, the heart that
has no reaction to what it faces, thereby turning the variegated sensuous
face of the world into monotony, sameness, oneness." Your assignment in
the coming week, Aquarius, is to triumph over this kind of evil in yourself.
By whatever ingenious and imaginative means you can dream up, you
must awaken your heart fully to the unpredictable, ever-shifting beauty
and ugliness you encounter. Drink it all in like a thirsty wanderer who has
just emerged from a long trek lost in the desert. [The source of Hillman's
quote is his book *The Thought of the Heart and the Soul of the World.*]

shower the blessing of things opening

here's the blessing that may be coming - thanks, rob brezny!


AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): While riding my bicycle through a quiet
neighborhood this afternoon, I saw two girls fiddling with the gate of a tall
wooden fence. They were frustrated because it wouldn't open and let
them inside. One kicked the gate. The other tried unsuccessfully to climb
up to reach down over the top to the latch on the other side. Finally, the
younger girl put her hand under the gate and managed to free some
obstruction on the other side. The gate opened. "I got it! I got it!" she
yelled, jumping up and down with exhilarated triumph. I foresee those
words and that emotion flying out of you soon when you, too, finally open
a metaphorical door that has been stuck.
