Horoscopes by Rob Brezsny


Week of February 9th, 2012

♍ VIRGO

(August 23-September 22)
In accordance with the astrological omens, here's what I wish and predict for you in the near future: You will be a connoisseur of temptations. By that I mean you will have a knack for attracting and playing with allurements and enticements. More importantly, you'll have a sixth sense about the distinction between good bait and bad bait -- between provocative temptations that will serve your most fervent dreams and debilitating traps that will dissipate your integrity. And when you get a lock on the invigorating, ennobling kind, you will know just how to work with it so that it drives you wild with smart longing.


If you missed any of the long-term, big-picture horoscopes I wrote for you at the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012, I've bundled them all in one place. Go here to read them. You can also listen to my long-range, in-depth EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPES for 2012.

As I meditated on what advice might purify and supercharge your love life, I got to thinking about a statement attributed to French poet Paul Valery. "Love is being stupid together," he said. There's an element of truth to this notion, but it's too corny and degenerate for my tastes. I prefer to focus on a more interesting and complete truth, which is this: Real love is being smart together. If you weave your destiny together with another's, he or she should catalyze your sleeping potentials, sharpen your perceptions, and boost your IQ. Your relationship should be a crucible in which you deepen your understanding of the way the world works. If you can't share your love with such a person, don't share your love with anyone.
