ARIES (March 21-April 19): At New York's Museum of Modern Art, I
brought my face to within a few inches of Vincent van Gogh's painting,
"The Starry Night." It looked delicious. I wanted to kiss it. Its stars were
throbbing and voluptuous. The night sky shimmered with currents of
spiraling energy. In the foreground, the cypress tree flared like a shadowy
flame. I could also see that the artist had been less than thorough in
applying his paint. Especially on the edges, but also in the middle of the
painting, slivers of untouched canvas showed through. Fierce, innocent,
nourishing, reckless, unfinished, this priceless work drank my attention for
a long time, constantly refreshing my eyes with what seemed to be its
ceaseless movement. It was exactly what I wish you to be like in the
coming week, Aries.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Hundreds of years ago, the Roman Catholic
Church conjured up the concept of "Limbo." It was supposedly a murky
realm between heaven and hell that housed the souls of babies who died
before they were baptized and righteous people who lived before the time
of Christ. Later "limbo" also came to have a non-religious meaning,
referring to the state of uncertainty experienced by a person who is
waiting for a resolution or decision. Last November, the Church formally
retired the concept of Limbo, declaring it to be an outmoded hypothesis
that should be hereafter ignored. In the coming weeks, Taurus, you will
have an excellent opportunity to escape your own personal version of
limbo. It's time to declare yourself a master of the torturous lessons you
were called on to learn while stranded there.
