I Will Choose Free Will

Who reads the horoscopes every day? That's right. I do. While I am officially an Aquarius, I make a habit of reading other people's horoscopes, too, just to keep track of how they're doing. You know, according to the stars. Do I read yours? If you're reading this, I probably do.

The daily paper runs short ones, which makes it easy for me to catch all the latest on how my planets and yours are aligning. But I especially enjoy Rob Brezsny's syndicated weekly "Free Will Astrology," which acknowledges that a person can shape the meaning as they see fit. (As we do anyway.) The one below, though a week old, seemed like a good point to meditate on while I take a little break from writing:

"You may still be gnawed by a longing for your life to be different from what it is. You might fantasize that you're missing a crucial element that would, if acquired, usher you into a Golden Age. But I've been analyzing the big picture of your destiny, Aquarius, and here's what I see: This year you're being offered the chance to be pretty satisfied with the messy, ambiguous, fantastically rich set of circumstances that you've actually been blessed with. The first half of 2010 should have inspired you to flirt with this surprising truth. The second half will drive it home with the force of a pile of gifts left anonymously on your doorstep." Rob Brezsny, Free Will Astrology

Rob knows me so well! And so do the stars, planets and constellations, which may be aligning as we speak.
