Weekly Fortunes

CAPRICORN
Remember the strength of the night blossoms. I'm not saying that you should stay up all night. In fact this week it is important to follow Ben Franklin's advice of early to bed and early to rise.

AQUARIUS
You could have had them if you wanted them but you mustn't have wanted them enough. Move on.

PISCES
Don't waste time in anyone who hasn't got your back. That lesson you learned the hard way. Destiny calls and with that call comes duty to honesty and compassion.

Underneath it all you know you judged too harshly. Instead of beating yourself or anyone else up about it, move on. You have a chance to be happy. Help yourself. Bloom.

Gossip and other people's opinions of someone should not influence you. People gossip and keep an eye on people who intimidate and attract them for some reason. This friend is good and you know it.

( I took these fortunes from a poetry anthology from 1890. When I do fortunes from a book I use the ancient I-Ching type method of closing my eyes and letting Providence guide my to the right page and line for each sign.)

Weekly Fortunes

CAPRICORN
When people used to listen to records they had to get up and flip the record to hear the whole album. In life no one flips records for us. Every person has to do this for themselves. If you don't feel like getting up to flip the record, do it anyway. Get up and flip it if you want a new song. Rock on!

AQUARIUS
"Daisy Daisy Give me your answer true I'm half crazy over the love of you!" Let's focus on the mid section of that old song "give me your answer true." When someone asks for your true feelings this week give them the truth, even if it is an inconvenient truth.

LEO
Nothing is perfect. You have the experience and insight to help someone move in the right direction.

VIRGO
Remember running in the dark of night? You ran not from something but just for the sake of feeling that night air and the freedom of no one knowing where you were. Take a trip by yourself in the night.

LIBRA
It doesn't matter if you are a model citizen if you hate other people. It would be better to litter and to love people than to pick up trash and think you are superior to others. The one rule is to love your neighbor as yourself. That doesn't just mean the neighbors you like or agree with or who never hurt you.. that means all your neighbors even the assholes and the ones who broke your heart.

SCORPIO
What does the moon look like? We have seen pictures but unless we have been there we just don't know. The same goes for other people's lives. You could watch someone all day but unless you are in their head and heart you just don't know, So don't think you do. That would be foolish.

SAGITTARIUS
Tender is every night if you make it so.
