Avery, a character in Anne Michaels' novel The Winter Vault, has a unique way of seeing. When he arrives in a place for the first time, he "makes room for it in his heart." He "lets himself be altered" by it. At one point in the story he visits an old Nubian city in Egypt and is overwhelmed by its exotic beauty. Its brightly colored houses are like "shouts of joy," like "gardens springing up in the sand after a rainfall." After drinking in the sights, he marvels, "It will take all my life to learn what I have seen today." Everything I just described is akin to experiences you could have in the coming weeks, Pisces. Can you make room in your heart for the dazzle?

What is the obvious secret you can't quite see? How could you turn your challenges into daily gifts for yourself? For clues to mysteries like these, tune in to your EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPE.

"The really important kind of freedom," said David Foster Wallace, "involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day."

Is that an interesting kind of freedom to you? Can you imagine any scenario in which practicing it would crack you open and pour you into an ecstatic state?
