A friend asked me the other day how I felt about astrology. I could tell, by the very fact she asked, that she did not share my nuanced view of it. That view, put simply: Astrology is a big fly- infested pile of dung only an idiot would pay even the slightest attention to.
Aries (March 21-April 19): The general consensus is that Americans are getting dumber. A recent study, for instance, reported that more people can name the characters in The Simpsons TV show than know the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. Yet an article in The New Yorker notes that Americans' IQ scores have been steadily rising for a long time-so much so that a person whose IQ placed her in the top 10 percent of the population in 1920 would be in the bottom third today. One possible explanation: Our "growing stupidity" may better be described as a difficulty keeping up with the ever-growing mass of facts, whereas we're actually becoming better at solving problems. That's a key in my advice to you, Aries. You're in a phase that's favorable for upgrading your intelligence-by which...

A recent study, for instance, reported that more people can name the characters in The Simpsons TV show than know the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. Yet an article by Malcolm Gladwell in The New Yorker notes that Americans' I.Q. scores have been steadily rising for a long time-so much so that a person whose I.Q. placed her in the top 10 percent of the population in 1920 would be in the bottom third today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): "Nature seems to exult in abounding radicality, extremism, anarchy," wrote Annie Dillard in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. "If we were to judge nature by its common sense or likelihood, we wouldn't believe the world existed. In nature, improbabilities are the one stock in trade. The whole creation is one lunatic fringe.. .No claims of any and all revelations could be so far-fetched as a single giraffe." (Dillard's entire passage is here: http:// bitlyAinkerCreek.) Reading this passage is a good way for you to prepare for the immediate future, Leo. Why? Because you'll soon be invited to commune with outlandish glory. You'll be exposed to stories that burst from the heart of creation. You'll be prodded to respond to marvelous blips with marvelous blips of your own. But he...

Gemini (May 21-June 20): I'm here at San Francisco's Samovar Tea Lounge to meditate on your horoscope. I've decided that the beverage most likely to put me in the right mood is "Monkey-Picked Iron Goddess of Mercy" tea. That's because my analysis of your astrological omens reveals that there'll be something both steely and soft about your immediate future, both willful and delicate. "Iron Goddess of Mercy" is an apt metaphor for the influences you should seek. Furthermore, I suspect you'll need the intervention of an agile and vibrant animal energy, which is suggested by the "Monkey-Picked "aspect of the tea. Using the Samovar menu as a divinatory tool for generating even more oracular information, I've come up with three additional phrases to capture the quality of your life in the com...

Aries (March 21-April 19): Happy Valentine Daze, Aries! As I meditated on what advice would be most likely to energize your love life. I thought of what Clarissa Pinkola Estes said in her book Women Who Run With the Wolves. "The desire to force love to live only in its most positive form," she wrote, "is what causes love ultimately to fall over dead." She obviously doesn't mean you should seek negativity on purpose. Rather, you should freely acknowledge that even the most sublime intimacy has a dark side. As long as you welcome love's difficulties, it will remain vital. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Welcome to 's annual "Swimsuit Issue." We do it differently than other publications.
