“My poetry journey into the wilderness of language was a journey where each point of arrival turned out to be a stepping stone rather than a destination.”

Do your beliefs help you feel any safer on the planet? You can test your theory by getting clear what you believe, where there is no evidence to support that belief. I know this is asking for a lot of self-reflection, and for intense honesty of a kind that’s pretty rare. Whether you feel safe is the question right now, which includes within the private confines of your mind, with the way you relate to someone close to you, and how you feel within your physical environment. You’re more likely to notice an unsupported belief by accident. For example, you encounter an ‘issue’ and you figure out that a series of assumptions got you there. Or you discover that you really were being dragged around by a religious value that you hadn’t identified as such previously. Or you find yourself acting in a way similar to much older relatives who you know are disconnected from reality. It’s easy to forget these discoveries when we make them. I’m suggesting you notice them, and remember them, and then go on a hunt for both their origins and their effects on your life. If the term ‘being your own person’ has any meaning at all, examining these themes would be included in its meaning.

If Your Birthday is April 13
(The Day of the Iconoclast) | Aries Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Certain close relationships may be the key to unlocking a creative skill, or a method for turning a dream into reality. This is also likely to require effort over time, as do all creative projects. The seed of inspiration appears to lie in your understanding of how you relate to partners — and indeed to yourself — in this age of the robot.
Written in the Planets
Eric has said that we’re all being called to listen to our bodies — not an easy feat when so much of our environment facilitates escapism. In particular, the present retrograde planets, as well as a conjunction of two minor planets, suggest that today you might ponder the nature of your desires or daydreams. If possible, trace the primary physical or psychological needs from which they spring. This could be as simple as understanding a craving for a specific food. Notice how you’re feeling as you tune into your body; this will no doubt be another useful clue in the mystery of self-knowledge.
