I don't follow horoscopes, but every now and then I read one that resonates. A few weeks ago, my horoscope said something about how challenges and opportunities can be a peninsula rather than an island. You don't always have to swim through choppy water, sometimes you can just walk. What a lovely image, and what a concept. Life doesn't have to be difficult.

Sorting through some papers the other day, I found a horoscope that I clipped out of the paper last April. I don't know whether it "came true" at the time, but I like it:

In The Book of Thoth, Aleister Crowley says that for Capricorns, the impulse to create can be so strong that it transcends logic, ignores tradition, and eschews foresight. It might even be "divinely unscrupulous, sublimely careless of result." Why is this urge so wild? The formula for Capricorn, he writes, is "the complete appreciation of all existing things...rejoicing in the rugged and barren no less than the smooth and fertile." While his assessment might be a bit extreme, it does contain far more than a few grains of truth -- especially as it applies to you in the coming weeks. Given the current astronomical omens, I believe your will to create will be relentless, majestic, and primordial.
