I worked a twelve-hour day today. Ugh. Thus, all the things that I had planned to do this afternoon are yet undone. Now I just want to read and go to bed.
Sometimes my Brezsny-scope is so very ridiculously timely:
“The only way to get a difficult feeling to go away is simply to love yourself for it,” says author Christiane Northrup. “If you think you’re stupid, then love yourself for feeling that way. It’s a paradox, but it works. To heal, you must . . . shine the light of compassion on any areas within you that you feel are unacceptable.” While I personally believe this is a crafty strategy, I suggest adding a twist in order to double its effectiveness: As you’re loving yourself for your difficult feeling, literally laugh out loud at how crazily worried and wound up you are about it.

HA! I think this is good advice for you! Mine? Well, the Taurus is always good, but if we’re reading my ascendant too, get this:
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to Harper’s Index, 97 percent of us
believe that following our own conscience is a sign of a strong character.
On the other hand, 92 percent of us think that obeying authorities shows
strong character. What that apparently means is that most of us feel we
can and should heed the dictates of our own conscience *and* please the
people who control things. In the coming weeks, I think that might be
possible for you to do once or twice. But most the time, I suspect you’ll
have to decide between being either an impeccable rebel or loyal devotee.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some people skip to the end of a book and
read the last few pages while they’re still in its early stages. They want to
know what will ultimately happen without going through the steps that
lead up to it. While it’s harmless to prematurely peek at how a book’s
story resolves, trying a similar approach could cause problems if you do it
with your life in the coming weeks. Distortions might arise from trying to
“time-travel” to a future date and foresee the outcome of a process
you’re in the middle of. It could sap your ability to carry out the work
you’ll need to do. Or it may fill you with false expectations that cause you
to misjudge your allies. Be patient.
And! I have to read my ascendant in relation to Sake Boy, because we are the same sign, so this, in this instance, more relevant. FU, Brezny, for knowing me so well.

Hmmmm. My ascendant is as follows:
In Terry Pratchett’s book Wyrd Sisters, there’s a passage in which he talks about how the sun conspires with the forest to pump millions of gallons of sap hundreds of feet from the ground up into the sky. And it all happens “in one great systolic thump too big and loud to be heard.” That’s the kind of activity I recommend for you in the coming weeks, Virgo. Collaborate with the source of all life — the physical sun, if that’s your preference, or God or Goddess, if that works better for you — to pull off a huge movement of lifeblood that brings sustenance from below to above.
Yeah.
