Be the book…

The joke goes like this: “Why is a math book so sad? Because it has so many problems.” But of course that’s a distortion of the truth. In fact, the math book loves its problems. Its problems are its reason for being. Besides that, all of its problems are interesting challenges, not frustrating curses. Best of all, every problem has a definite answer, and all the answers are provided in the back of the book. Now here’s the most excellent news of all, Cancerian: I think you’ll be like a math book in the coming weeks.

I know it.  I feel it.  The answers are right there, I just need to get to the back of the book.  I feel on the edge of the edge and the view is beautiful.  It’s already here, I just have to wait for the time/space continuum to sync up.

Buster Posey

Cancer this week:

Buster Posey is an up-and-coming baseball player for the San Francisco Giants. The poetic incongruity of his name is so apt a symbol for your imminent future, I’m making him your patron saint. According to my reading of the omens, you’ll be called on to be like a “Buster” — a macho, pushy, no-nonsense dude who gets things done — but you will also find power in being as delicate and lovely and innocent as the small flower bouquet known as a posey. Sometimes it’ll make sense to be one or the other. On other occasions, you’ll benefit from being in both modes simultaneously.

Now that sounds challenging.  I’m certainly capable of either but simultaneously.  Whoa.  I’m hoping that I’m an up and coming employed person just like Buster that’s for certain.  I’m qualified but also up and coming.  I am a no-nonsense dudette but hopefully I’ve curbed the macho pushy bit.  I suspect, however, that the requirement for being a buster and a posey will actually be on the home front as we deal with Dad’s up and coming issues.

Don’t know how or where but I’m game!

Cancer this week:

What I’d really like to see you do in the coming weeks is party harder and party smarter than usual. In my astrological opinion, you’re most likely to attract life’s maximum generosity by shedding some of your social inhibitions and cultivating the pleasures of free-form networking. Believe me, I know how important it is for you to maintain the kind of strict boundaries that protect you from being overly influenced by other people. It’s what keeps you in close touch with your intuition. But for the foreseeable future, I think you’ll thrive on the unexpected blessings that come from giving yourself to the intelligence of the crowd.

Edit: Oooh, Beltaine! Really looking forward to Beltaine. Being outside, seeing friends I haven’t seen over the winter, hot tub and swimming pool, maypole, circle, vendors, hanging out (hopefully in the sun on the grass)… Fun fun fun. Can hardly wait.

Cancer for the week

Scientists and fundamentalist Christians don’t share much common ground, but one thing most of them agree on devoutly: There’s no such thing as reincarnation. Now I’m pleased to be able to offer you the chance to rebel against their dogmatic delusion. You see, Cancerian, it’s an excellent time to try out the hypothesis that you have lived many times before and will live many times again. For one week, act as if it were true, and see how it changes the way you feel, think, and act. What if everything you do has repercussions forever?

And there is where we part. While I believe in reincarnation, I do not believe in karma. I believe that what we put out comes back but I don’t believe in the Scorekeeper of the Universe, taking names and numbers and making you make it up for all eternity.

I’m not even sure I believe in the law of three. I certainly believe that every action creates an equal and opposite reaction. But I’m more concerned about making sure what I do resonates in a right and positive way for me in THIS lifetime. Not that it will hit me in the back of the head three lifetimes from now.

I’m in quest of new role models. There’ve been some good ones in my life, and I’m grateful for how they’ve awakened me, but right now I need fresh heroes worth emulating. Know any? I’m not dogmatic about what I’m looking for, and am willing to be surprised, but here are a few qualities I admire: compassion combined with unpredictability, high integrity mixed with an intense commitment to creativity, and self-discipline blended with playfulness. I like smart talkers who are also savvy listeners, and people who have a balance of open-minded objectivity and emotional intelligence. By the way, what’s true for me is true for many of you, my fellow Cancerians: You could use a new role model, too, and it’s an excellent time to go in search of one.

Well, well, well. I am ALL those things. From this day forth, I’m going to be my OWN Role Model. So there.
