Free Will astrology week!
Jan. 3rd, 2007 11:40 amI still remember the first time I read one of Rob Brezny's horoscopes. I was messing around with the internet features on my cell phone at lunch on a thursday with my supervisor and the other retail coordinator, and I idly read the one for Libra.
It was the most screwed up thing I ever read. I should adopt the Hawaiian name of Kaohinani, the gatherer of beautiful things? or maybe even Makaike, to see with keen powers of observation?
I started laughing. Naturally, my lunch partners wanted to know what I was laughing at, so I read it to them. and they laughed and said, "But it's true. you gather beautiful things every day, and you do see with keen powers of observation." why, so I did. I worked with lepidoptera, and my job was to observe them keenly. wasn't it?
and then they wanted me to read theirs, and so I did. and we puzzled over them, discussed them, tried to find a meaning in them.
It became a tradition - on wednesday at lunch, I would read the Free Will horoscope at lunch - mine and theirs. I had no idea if the astrologer was actually coming up with this stuff because of the position of planets in the sky, or if he was just using that as a blind to come up with some really neat stuff to be open to, and after a while it didn't matter how he did it. they were just offerings, and we could do what we wanted with them. they were these always caring, always positive, and sometimes incredibly spooky little paragraphs.
and since I'm still in New Year's week, I give you Libra Horoscope for week of January 4, 2007
I predict that sometime in the coming year two rich attorneys will offer you $20,000 if you'll deliver a cursed diamond to their shaman in Brazil for exorcism. But you will demand that they not only give you the money, but also introduce you to their good friend Angelina Jolie. They'll balk at that, and the deal will fall through. But then you'll write a movie script based on your fantasy of the experience you might have had if you had actually done the deal, and you'll sell the script to a producer who gets Angelina Jolie to be one of the stars. And if that exact scenario doesn't happen as prophesied, Libra, I bet you'll have a comparable adventure or two that will revolve around the power of your imagination, your determination to hold out for exactly what you want, and a rich harvest of poetic justice.
Nice, isn't it? and it just smacks of Year of Opportunity, so I'm keeping it.
