Capricorn Horoscope for week of June 1, 2006 from Free Will Astrology

"Race car drivers say that if you're heading toward a wall," writes philosopher Jonathan Zap, "don't look at it. Instead, look at where you want to go." That's good advice for you in the coming week, Capricorn. It would be crazy for you to concentrate all your attention on what you don't like and don't need and don't agree with. Rather, you should briefly acknowledge the undesirable possibilities, but then turn the full force of your focus to the most interesting and fulfilling option.

The Golden Rule is a decent ethical principle, but it could be even better. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" presumes that others enjoy what you enjoy. But that's wrong. There are many things you'd like to have done unto you that others would either despise or be bored by. Here's a new, improved formulation, which we call the Platinum Rule: Do unto others as they would like to have you do unto them.

Using this improved formula is not just a virtuous way to live, but is also the best way to ensure the success of your selfish goals. The rituals and spells of various occult orders purport to be supercharged techniques for imposing your personal will on the chaotic flow of events, but I say that practicing the Platinum Rule outstrips all of them as an exercise to enhance your power and happiness.

I think it may be time to leave the easy road and embark upon the search for what it is I know I am really looking for in this life. Even though it may be hard.
Earlier tonight, before I went out, I felt inspired to write the following. Maybe it's somehow connected.

Tonight I will let lose all my pent up love that I don’t even know I have because I’ve suppressed it so long it seems like this is the real me. But it’s not! There are huge possibilities, beyond my wildest dreams, and tonight I will tap into the real me, and the soul of the earth. I will tap into the divine. To the god that is chosen for me on this night.

Probably a diluted message there, but perhaps what I really mean shine through stronger than it has before.

Tomorrow Never Knows -- The Beatles


Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream,
It is not dying, it is not dying

Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.

Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being

Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing

And ignorance and hate mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing

But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving

So play the game "existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning

"...redeeming the darkness not by avoiding it but by exploring it armed with light..."

"you're alive becuase of love"

Feel Flows -- The Beach Boys

Unfolding enveloping missiles of soul
Recall senses sadly
Mirage like soft blue like lanterns below
To light the way gladly
Whether whistling heaven's clouds disappear
Where the wind withers memory
Whether whiteness whisks soft shadows away
Feel flows (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)

Unbending never ending tablets of time
Record all the yearning
Unfearing all appearing message divine
Eases the burning
Whether willing witness waits at my mind
Whether hope dampens memory
Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side
Feel flows (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)

Encasing all embracing wreath of repose
Engulfs all the senses
Imposing, unclosing thoughts that compose
Retire the fences
Whether wholly heartened life fades away
Whether harps heal the memory
Whether wholly heartened life fades away
Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side
Whether whiteness whisks soft shadows away
Feel goes (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel flows (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feelings to grow (White hot glistening shadowy flows)

White hot glistening shadowy flows
White hot glistening shadowy flows
White hot glistening shadowy flows

"It matters not what we search for, or in what road we alone find heart and purpose, but rather it is the integrity of the search itself, and an unwavering faith that we can, indeed, find and become our own ideal—in our lives, in our actions, in the world around us. It is simply up to oneself to bring it about."
--Subtle Being

"Let the mind be warned that though the flesh be bugged, the circumstances of existence are pretty glorious." - Jack Kerouac

I am Who I am
Who I am
is growing roses
at my feet
I belongto the howling wind
to the singing water,

to the shining sea within me.


--Ana
