“As a child, I very much objected to books that tried to teach me something. I just wanted to read for pleasure, and I did. But if a book tried to teach me, I returned it to the library.”
— Beverly Cleary

If Your Birthday is April 12
(The Day of Societal Awareness) | Aries Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Notice carefully what catches your attention today. Have you just “remembered” a part of yourself you often overlook? Are you realizing how much you’ve invested your sense of self into your technology, and does that surprise you? Do you feel left out, or feel an urge to subvert something? Is the chaos of the world, and your place in it, seemingly all you’re aware of these days? No matter how you answer or what you notice, remember that identity is a more fluid thing than we often let ourselves enjoy. And you’re the one who gets to discover, define and declare who you are — today, and every day.
Written in the Planets
Who are you in the corners of yourself where you often forget to look, or avoid looking? With the Aries Sun conjunct Eris today, you may find this part of you is shining out into the world (surprise!). So you might as well take note of it, and see what you can do about integrating those facets of yourself into a more holistic picture. Retrograde Venus in Pisces, which squares the Galactic Core (and retrograde Saturn) in Sagittarius today, may soften the introspection some. You might find yourself more sensitive than usual to the cosmic implications of it all. Use what you learn — gently, and for the highest good.
