When you obsess on your adversaries, you risk becoming like them. The more you shape your life through your responses to things you don’t like, you invite them to define your destiny. You’ll have to be on guard against falling prey to this mistake in the coming weeks, Aquarius. While I don’t suggest that you totally ignore the forces that oppose you, neither do I recommend that you regularly wake up in the middle of the night and spend hours plotting your next ten moves against them. Confine your scheming to a circumscribed period– say every Saturday between 11:30 a.m. and noon–and devote the rest of your time to creating what you love.

The most difficult phase of life is not when no one understands you;
It is when you don’t understand yourself.

I woke up this morning in the middle of a field filled with sunflowers and daisys. The scorching sun felt like heaven on my leaves. I wanted to be a tree and I got it in my dream. All alone in the middle of a field with nobody else to answer to. It’s true trees have other trees surrounding them, in my dream it’s my tree all alone.
Come visit my tree, but I don’t have to talk to you if I don’t want to. Beautiful birds chirping, cool breeze flowing, spiders, butterflies, earthworms all come by to say hi. So many “friends” but still the need and want to be alone and to have privacy?
Loved by so many, many love so much, much I don’t love anymore.

Ever had one of those days where you just feel like running away and hiding? Maybe find a corner where you close your eyes and pretend you’re just part of the furniture and maybe nobody will notice?
Sometimes I wish I was a tree, the only thing I’d have to worry about is getting water and some sort of disease which could potentially eat up my roots. I have to be careful of this sort of thing being human anyway right? At least I won’t have to deal with anyone but my branches and leaves.
Today is one of those days.

During an outdoor concert, ’80s pop star Cyndi Lauper experienced a rare event that every singer dreads. As she belted out a long, booming note, a bird flying overhead dispensed a blob that zoomed into her wide-open mouth. Lauper’s grandmother later assured her that this was a stroke of good luck, and the singer herself referred to it as “God’s little joke.” I predict you will soon enjoy a metaphorically similar visitation.

Artist: Linkin Park Lyrics
Song: Numb Lyrics
i’m tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
i don’t know what you’re expecting of me
put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
every step that i take is another mistake to you
i’ve
become so numb
i can’t feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
i’m becoming this
all i want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you
can’t you see that you’re smothering me
holding too tightly
afraid to lose control
cause everything that you thought i would be
has fallen apart right in front of you
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
every step that i take is another mistake to you
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
and every second i waste is more than i can take
but i know
i may end up failing too
but i know
you were just like me
with someone disappointed in you

The group Reporters Without Borders evaluates how well the world’s nations respect freedom of the press. Finland, Iceland, and the Netherlands are the top three, while North Korea, Cuba, and Burma are at the bottom. Canada is ranked tenth. The U.S. is 137th (of a total 167) in terms of the press freedom that it fosters outside of its own borders, although it’s 44th in its own territory. In this spirit and in response to current astrological omens, I inventoried the freedom of expression you have carved out for yourself, Aquarius. I also appraised your skill at creating an environment in which other people feel free to express themselves to you. You’re doing great in the first category–number one in the zodiac!–but you could use some work in the second. Now is a perfect time to work harder to extend to others the spaciousness you enjoy.

As far as the astrological powers-that-be are concerned, you have permission to play hooky. Whether their authorization will carry any weight with your boss and the people who depend on you, I can’t say. But the pure cosmic fact of the matter is that you should devote as much time as possible in the coming days to avoiding responsibility, following your whims, and indulging in sweet pleasures that in no way serve the values of the cold, cruel workaday world. It’s time to wander out into a field of wildflowers and chase butterflies. Or something similar.
