Every writer I've ever known says that a key practice to becoming a good writer is to read a lot of books. So what are we to make of the fact that one of the twentieth century's most celebrated novelists didn't hew to that principle? In 1936, three years before the publication of his last book, Aquarian-born James Joyce confessed that he had "not read a novel in any language for many years." Here's my take on the subject: More than any other sign of the zodiac, you Aquarians have the potential to succeed despite not playing by conventional rules. And I suspect your power to do that is even greater than usual these days.

DEAR READERS: Some of you are curious about how I earn a living. You've noticed that I give away my horoscopes for free—and have done so for many years. You appreciate the fact that my website isn't overrun with ads, that I provide numerous excerpts from my books for free, and that I almost never ask for money in my voluminous posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

The fact is that I earn some money by syndicating my horoscopes in newspapers and by selling the books I've published. I also produce two other batches of horoscopes that are for sale: my weekly EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPES and my daily TEXT MESSAGE HOROSCOPES..

If you'd like to support my ability to thrive, please consider buying those other two horoscopes. Here's how you do it:

Go here. Register or log in. On the new page, you have two choices: Expanded Audio Horoscopes or Daily Text Message Horoscopes.

If you have any questions about how to access them, write to my tech support team at freewillcs@gmail.com.

If you would simply like to donate to me, please visit my Gift Page. Contribute via the "Friends and Family" option.
