  • Another week of the inimitable Madame Clairevoyant:
Aries: You might get a weird feeling that things aren’t quite right with you, this week, and you may feel a little restless, a little itchy, as you try to remember what could be making you feel this way. Even if things are mostly right, even if your life is golden and wonderful, now is a good time to pay attention to details, to be as thoughtful and deliberate as you can, to listen very closely when people tell you things. Make a lot of lists and listen to old radio hits as you check things off, one by one. Taurus: This week is for being honest, for getting a little angry, for letting the fire inside you flare up, just a bit, so it can warm you. This week is for clearing the dust out of your head, for cleaning your house, for scrubbing your bathroom until it shines. It might be a pain to do all this but afterwards you’re going to feel lighter. You’re going to feel new. Try to be extra gentle with yourself this week; be gentle with everyone in your life. Call your sister. Eat sweets in bed. Watch comedies. Watch movies about outer space. Gemini: This week’s going to feel soft and foggy; this week’s going to feel calm and easy and slow. This week might have you a little distracted from your job and your friends and your electric bill and everything else you think you should be focused on, but it’s not the worst thing to spend time inside your hazy brain. It is a good and necessary thing, sometimes, to let your head fill up with pictures of moss and snow and sand and salty air. It is a good and necessary thing to pay attention to the textures of your dreams. Cancer: This week is all about spirals and loops and cycles; this week is about strange patterns of repetition and memory in your life. You might feel like everything that’s happening this week has happened before, you might feel an intense recognition every time you accidentally make eye contact with a stranger, every time you hear a voice on the bus or a laugh from across the street. It can be strange or confusing or comforting or just another layer of noise, it’s up to you. Just try not to ignore it: there are messages in these patterns. Listen to yourself. Listen to Kate Bush. Leo: This week will be busy for you—busy getting things done, busy with people who need your attention and your love, busy inside your head. Your brain’s going to be full of motion, full of noise, full of sounds and thoughts that you need to sift through. Your world is very large and very dense and very full right now. This means a lot of good things for you. It also means that you need to give yourself time to sit on the porch, to sit on the couch, to sit in the bath and let yourself feel warm.Virgo: This week is going to be full of very small moments, like pebbles in your pocket, like raindrops on the window, like beads on a string. This week, all the happy and good and important moments will be so small and round and shining that they could roll away, before you even notice them, if you aren’t careful. Keep your eyes open for the little gestures, the tiny signs, the small gentle smiles, the quiet jokes. Drink a lot of tea and read a long book. Call your friends and listen to their funny voices. Stay warm.Libra: You’re going to feel really charming this week: you’re going to be so bright, so glittering, so funny. Honor this. Recognize this power in yourself. Let yourself to brighten and warm the spaces that you move in. This is a good week for living in public, a good week for going out after work, a good week for telling stories and talking to strangers. Just don’t ignore your cat or your friends or the world when they want to talk to you in quieter ways. Try to pay attention to the silent ways that feelings can move around a room. Listen to The Mountain Goats. Scorpio: This might be a wandering kind of a week, a week for strange solitary motion. Now is a good time for exploration, for curiosity, for reading while you eat lunch. It’s not the best week, though, for trying to make changes, not a good time for getting things done. If you can, try to put your energy towards wandering around the woods or an open field or the mall, towards listening to the sounds your house makes at night, towards mapping the cracks in the sidewalk outside of your house. Cut pictures out of magazines and carry them through the world with you. Sagittarius: This week might feel dull and flat and mundane to you. This sounds like a bad thing but it’s not at all. Its when your life is regular, when your life is boring, that the world cracks open to show you new things. In weeks like this you can watch the sky, you can get lost in the colors of the dirty rivers in your town, you can spend your afternoons slowly reading poems in the library, you can occupy your evenings mending the rips in your clothes. Slow down your heart rate, keep your eyes open, listen to quiet songs, get enough sleep. Capricorn: This week’s going to be about action, about motion, about energy. This week you will feel wild and strong and whole. The world is even wilder than you are, so be a little careful with yourself, but not so much that you can’t move through your life like a fox, like a river, like a gust of wind. Stand up straight and wake up early and feel all the electricity that’s rushing through your body. Be as brave as you can. Stand up for yourself. Eat big breakfasts. Aquarius: This week is going to be about small changes, about fine tuning, about making the little adjustments to the way you walk, the way you listen, the way your eyes see the world. This week’s nothing special, but the things you do now are going to have a bigger resonance than you can imagine, they’re going to make next week and next month and next winter get better, get lighter, get weirder. Paint your room. Dig up your mom’s old records and listen to them while you clean, while you draw, while you cook. Let them make you strong. Pisces: Things are probably not going to happen the way you wanted, this week. Though this might drive you crazy, pieces will fall into place in unexpected ways, things will run smoothly, and the world will show you strange and real kindnesses that you weren’t planning on at all. Try not to relax too hard into this good luck; try to keep working on taking care of yourself, on being the way you want to be. Try to read a lot. Try to be generous. Eat meals with other people. Eat a lot of fruit.
