Horoscopes by Rob Brezsny


Week of August 23rd, 2007

♒ AQUARIUS

(January 20- February 18)
"The chemo treatments burned out all the math skills in my brain, which were already pretty meager," said Risa, a friend who survived cancer a few years ago. "On the other hand, they awakened my ability to feel perfectly at ease while in the midst of paradoxical situations that everyone else finds maddening and uncomfortable. The chemo also made me ridiculously tolerant of people's contradictions, sometimes even their hypocrisies, and freed me to enjoy life as an entertaining movie with lots of interesting plot twists rather than as a pitched battle between everything I like and everything I don't like." I have really good news for you, Aquarius: If you make use of the current cosmic opportunities, you can achieve Risa's state of mind without the prod of anything even remotely as extreme as cancer or chemotherapy.

Charles Darwin said the "survival of the fittest" is a central factor in the process of evolution. What exactly did he mean by that? He makes it clear in his book, The Origin of Species: "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change."

What would you have to do to make yourself superbly fit according to Darwin’s definition?
