The Shattered Prayer

plurk.com

Its that time again, so here we go:

To best take advantage of the fresh and innocent cosmic forces that are offering themselves up to you, try experiments like the following: eat food you’ve never tried; listen to new music; climb a hill that has always been in the distance; have a down-to-earth conversation with a person who up till now hasn’t been quite real to you; try erotic experiences you’ve wondered about; scrawl graffiti on a wall that has never been written upon; and push yourself to feel positive emotions that you may sometimes be too lazy or cynical to seek out, like playful reverence, intense curiosity, voracious gratitude, and surprised delight.

Well I guess once again I’m searching for enlightenment. There is a mote of truth to Rob’s horoscope for me this week though. I have had an encounter with an ‘innocent’ cosmic force. Pretty hard to explain though, so I’ll just leave it at that.

And for Bas:

“Who has done more good for the planet, Mother Teresa or Bill Gates?” asked businessman John Mackey. “No contest: Gates has helped far more people.” Whether you agree with that assessment or not, Libra, act as if it’s true in the coming weeks. As you express your generous urges, don’t so much model yourself after Mother Teresa, who felt pious feelings and gave mostly symbolic assistance to a few thousand poor, sick people. Model yourself more after Gates, who spends billions of dollars to provide technological resources to schools in the U.S., and to bolster health care and reduce poverty in the Third World. In other words, don’t just be emotionally and spiritually supportive. Be aggressively helpful in the most practical ways.

Write some new songs! That’ll be helpful to me, since I’m supposed to be listening to new music, according to Rob. And maybe you can get R the P a job at your University, so we can all move to the Netherlands. R the P, learn Dutch. Fast.

Mojo’s is kind of accurate:

Read this passage from the Talmud: “When the fetus comes forth into the air of the world, what is closed opens and what is open closes.” I believe that’s an apt metaphor for what’s going on in your life, Sagittarius. You’re leaving behind a situation that has nurtured you even as it has bound you. Ahead of you lies a scary freedom that will flood into you with a pleasurable shock. Welcome to the brilliant shouting mystery of it all!

R the P, you’re going to be pollenating this week:

A flower is in one sense a brilliant advertisement. With its alluring aroma, appealing color, and voluptuous shape, it captures the attention of insects and birds, inviting them in for a visit. It’s not false advertising: The pollinators get to imbibe sweet food at the heart of the flower. But the flower also has a hidden agenda. Its male reproductive material, the pollen, gets stuck to the pollinators’ bodies, and they carry it away to the female organs of new flowers, thereby facilitating the plant version of impregnation. Now imagine that you are a flower, and re-read everything I just said, interpreting it as a metaphor for the approach you might want to pursue in the coming days.

Well…. we all gotta pollenate sometime.

And Shelley’s going to get immersed:

“Dear Rob: I would love to live on the ocean, I mean literally in a floating village, so that I could always sense the pulse of the Mother of Us All. I want the wild revelation of the horizon to be uncluttered before me. I want to smell the tang of salt in the air, to hear the cries of seagulls. No more towers, no more labyrinths of concrete–just breathtaking, incomprehensible expanses of waves. - Piscean Immersion-Junkie.” Dear Immersion-Junkie: Good news! You Pisceans will soon be invited to get tastes of this restless primordial spectacle. It’ll come to you in many ways, including (but not limited to) your dreams, meditations, hot baths, saunas, massages, love-making, music-playing, journal-writing, and sailing.

And now for some real horoscopes:

Venus enters my ninth house tomorrow, and will be there until the middle of June, meaning its a good time for a vacation. Yeah good luck with that.

In my natal chart, theres a tight Mars/Pluto conjunction in my tenth house. In the morning, the moon will be conjuncting that conjunction (conjunction junction, whats your function?). Got no clue what that means, but I’m pretty sure its going to be volatile and tumultuous. Luckily I’ll probably be sleeping through it.

Moon will also be squaring my natal Venus around 10 am. Hmmm…. I think I’d better sleep through that one too.

In the early afternoon, the Moon will be sextile to my natal Neptune. A high psychic period for me so those of you who want tarot readings may want to catch me at that time.

Mojo, you’re gonna be in a frisky mood tomorrow, in the wee hours, with Venus squaring your natal Uranus. Some intense ‘electric’ sexual stuff going on, but you’re also likely to get a little irritable with R the P so tone it down some. Theres the potential for some great sex, but just as much potential for an argument.

Venus trines your natal Mars and heats up this aspect even more. This is the kind of aspect that could wake you up from a dead sleep and send you lookin’ fer some lovin’.

Soon afterward, Moon will trine your natal Venus, so afterplay could be nice. You’ll be in an uncharacteristically snuggly mood.

The Sun opposes your natal Neptune in the early afternoon hours. Avoid confusing circumstances at this time. You’re thinking may be muddled and messy. Irritating problems that have no discernable source may arise. Take a late lunch to avoid such annoyances.

The conflict continues when the Moon squares your natal Sun an hour and a half later, so don’t take just a late lunch, take a long one too. You’ll be argumentative and temperamental during this time, and much more likely to take things personally, so avoid confrontations during the mid-afternoon hours.

Late in the evening, Moon opposes your natal Mars, and squares your natal Jupiter. Go to bed early.

R the P, tomorrow might be a day for weird obsessive thinking. Stuff you thought resolved will keep tumbling over in your head, and the tendency will increase throughout the day. Mercury squares your natal Pluto. Wheeeeee…. don’t get much crazier than that. You might come off as insensitive to others, but your thoughts are in high gear, and though a bit obsessive, they’re going to be incredibly clear. Use your mental energy wisely tomorrow - if you can. Its a good time for making big decisions, the life-changing ones.

These real horoscopes are brought to you by Che. If you want yours included, I’ll need your date and place of birth, and preferably the time, though this isn’t strictly necessary.
