rob brezsny, why do you do this to me?

i'm surprised it took me as long as it did to realize [livejournal.com profile] fwaquarius had gone missing. but the past couple of weeks i've gone back to looking my free will up for myself and waiting for something to hit a nerve.



Aquarius Horoscope for week of January 8, 2004

In a recent speech, "Boondocks" comic strip creator Aaron McGruder said that if liberals want to regain power in America, they'll have to learn to be meaner. Leftist singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco echoed the theme in an interview in "Indie Culture" magazine. "It's our job to help and inspire each other," she mused, "but I don't think that all my songs have to be about nature and children and love and hugging. There are ways of helping people by expressing anger." I almost always advise you to err on the side of compassion and kindness, Aquarius. But this is a perfect moment to take McGruder's and DiFranco's words to heart. It's crucial that you find ways to creatively and constructively channel your sacred rage at what's wrong in your world.
