Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology has sure been an amazing influence on my life in the last year. Read his shit regularly, and I think you'll agree that his spirit of looseness and weirdness and fun and magic is worth checking in with. My first 2010 horoscope: help from powerful people! Easier to reach shit! How did Rob know I am only 5'2" and need more accessible blackberry bushes! And a new Blackberry (my old Sidekick is done for following a buried-in-the-beach-sand-incident.)
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
My Taurus friend Jill had a dream in which she stopped by a blackberry bush on a summer afternoon. All the ripe blackberries were too high on the bush, just out of reach. She stood there gazing longingly up at them for a long time. Finally three people in medieval garb came by, as if having stepped out of a deck of Tarot cards -- a warrior, magician, and priestess. "I really want those blackberries," she said to them. "Could you give me a boost?" They stooped down to make their backs available. She climbed up, but still couldn't reach the berries. "Oh well, we tried," she said. "Follow us," said the priestess, and she did. After a while they came to another bush whose blackberries were lower and easy to pluck. Then the four shared the feast. After analyzing the omens for 2010, Taurus, I've come to the conclusion that Jill's dream is an apt metaphor for your best possible destiny in 2010.
