ARIES (March 21-April 19): After viewing Shakespeare's *A Midsummer
Night's Dream* in 1662, diarist Samuel Pepys called it "the most stupid,
ridiculous play I ever saw in my life." French philosopher Voltaire had an
equally dim view of Shakespeare's *Hamlet.* "One would imagine this
piece to be the work of a drunken savage," he wrote in 1768. Pepys' and
Voltaire's opinions of the Bard ultimately became a minority view, of
course. Many modern analysts regard his work as among the best in
English literature. In the coming months, I predict there will be a similar
evolution in the consensus about certain events of your own past. Both
you and others will come to think highly of things once considered
worthless or aberrant. Redemption begins now.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): To celebrate this royal phase of your
astrological cycle, I would love to create a "Master of the Universe" crown
for you to wear, at least in your imagination. Since I'd like it to conform to
your exact needs and specifications, I'm soliciting your input. Please
visualize in great detail the kind of regal headpiece you want, then
communicate a vision of it to me telepathically. When it's done, I will set
it on your head in a dream, and ask you to not take it off for five days
and five nights.
both sound... interesting.
