Horoscopes by Rob Brezsny


Week of January 12th, 2012

♒ AQUARIUS

(January 20- February 18)
In summer, the pickleweed plant thrives in the saltwater marshes around San Francisco Bay. In many places, bright orange patches of the dodder plant intermingle with the pickleweed's sprightly jade green, creating festive displays that suggest nature is having a party. But there's a secret buried in this scene. The dodder's webby filaments are actually parasites that suck nutrients from the pickleweed. In accordance with the astrological omens, Aquarius, I'll ask you if a situation like that exists in your own life. Is there a pretty picture that hides an imbalance in the give-and-take of energy? It's not necessarily a bad thing -- after all, the pickleweed grows abundantly even with its freeloader hanging all over it -- but it's important to be conscious of what's going on.
