If, on the other hand, you are locked in apattern of repressing or ignoring the love/creativity question all together, this will be a time of dissatisfaction, frustration andresentment. You decide! Anyone who can be replaced by a machine deserves to be. ~Dennis GuntonPisces • FISHES: On a basic level, this transit can bring an awareness of other beliefs, cultures and perceptions byexposure to foreign ways of interpretation and approach. This can come through a film, novel, intriguing stranger or eventravel abroad. The opportunity to expand the intimate horizons is offered in some way. It is up to the recipient, however, toaccept. When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge. ~Tuli Kupferberginjoy 22
