Top 10 - The Austin Chronicle

free will astrologyby Rob Brezsny for January 4-10ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 2013, I pledge to conspire with you to increase your mastery of the art offriendship. Together we will concentrate on making you an even stronger ally than you already are. We willupgrade your skill at expressing your feelings with open-hearted clarity and in ways that don’t make peopledefensive. We will also inspire you to help others communicate effectively in your presence. I hope youunderstand that doing this work will empower you to accomplish feats that were never before possible.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Chickens and alligators share a common ancestor. Seventy million yearsago, they were both archosaurs. That’s why chickens possess a gene that has the ability to grow teeth. Afew years ago, a biological researcher at the University of Wisconsin managed to activate this capacity,inducing a few mutant chickens to sprout alligator teeth. I predict there will be a metaphorically comparableevent happening for you in 2013, Taurus. The “chicken” part of you will acquire some of the gravitasof an alligator.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “People wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on theground,” said French novelist Marcel Proust. An attitude like that is always a barrier to growth, of course,but in 2013 it would be especially ill-advised for you Geminis. In order to win full possession of the manyblessings that will be offering themselves to you, you will have to give up your solid footing and dive intothe depths over and over again. That may sometimes be a bit nerve-racking. But it should also generate themost fun you’ve had in years.CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here’s the horoscope I hope to be able to write for you a year from now: Youescaped the chains that kept you enslaved to your primary source of suffering. You broke the trance it keptyou in, and you freed yourself from its demoralizing curse. Now you have forged a resilient new relationshipwith your primary source of suffering – a relationship that allows you to deal with it only when it’s healthyfor you to do so and only when you feel strong enough to do it. Very nicely done! Congratulations! Excellentwork!LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “In this world,” said Oscar Wilde, “there are only two tragedies. One is not gettingwhat one wants, and the other is getting it.” I’m counting on you to refute the last part of that questionableassertion, Leo. According to my analysis of the long-term astrological omens, you will definitely be gettingwhat you want in the next six months. You will receive your prize ... you will earn your badge ... you will wina big game or claim your birthright or find your treasure. When that happens, I trust you will make sure it isan enduring blessing. There will be no sadness involved!VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): English poet Alfred Tennyson wrote so many memorable lines that he isamong the top ten most frequently cited authors in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. One of his mostfamous passages was “’Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all.” When he was onhis death bed at age 83, his enigmatic last words were, “I have opened it.” Let’s make that declaration yourmantra for the coming year, Virgo. In your case, it will have nothing to do with death, but just the opposite.It will be your way of announcing your entrance into a brighter, lustier, more fertile phase of your life. Trysaying it right now: “I have opened it!”LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Back in 1830, it was expensive to stay up and do things in your room afterdark. To earn enough money to pay for the whale oil that would light your lamp for an hour, you had to workfor 5.4 hours. And today? It’s cheaper. You have to put in less than a second of hard labor to afford anhour’s worth of light. I suspect that in 2013 there will be a similar boost in your ease at getting the light youneed to illuminate your journey. I’m speaking metaphorically here, as in the insight that arises from yourintuition, the emotional energy that comes from those you care about, and the grace of the Divine Wow. Allthat good stuff will be increasing.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life,” said Scorpiopainter Georgia O’Keeffe, “and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.” I thinkher declaration is excellent medicine for you. In 2013, you will have great potential for upgrading yourrelationship with your fears – not necessarily suppressing them or smashing them, but rather using themmore consistently as a springboard, capitalizing on the emotions they unleash, and riding the power theymotivate you to summon.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Ambition can creep as well as soar,” said Irish philosopher EdmundBurke. That will be good for you to remember throughout 2013, Sagittarius. Later this year, the time maycome for your ambition to soar – in the month of April, for example, and again in the month of August. But forthe foreseeable future, I think your ambition will operate best if you keep it contained and intense, movingslowly and gradually, attending to the gritty details with supreme focus.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In Tom Robbins’ book Skinny Legs and All, one of the characters, EllenCherry, has a conversation with a voice in her head. The voice gives her a piece of advice: “The trick is this:keep your eye on the ball. Even when you can’t see the ball.” I think that happens to be excellent counselfor you to heed during the next six months, Capricorn. You may not always be able to figure out what the hellis going on, but that shouldn’t affect your commitment to doing the right thing. Your job is to keep your ownkarma clean and pure – and not worry about anyone else’s karma.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’ll be bold and predict that 2013 will be a time when you’ll discover moreabout the art of happiness than you have in years. Here are some clues to get you started. 1) “It is not easyto find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.” -Agnes Repplier. 2) “There is onlyone way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things that are beyond the power of our will.”-Epictetus. 3) “For the rational, healthy person, the desire for pleasure is the desire to celebrate his controlover reality. For the neurotic, the desire for pleasure is the desire to escape from reality.” -Nathaniel Branden.4) “Our happiness springs mainly from moderate troubles, which afford the mind a healthful stimulus, andare followed by a reaction which produces a cheerful flow of spirits.” -E. Wigglesworth. 5) “Happiness isessentially a state of going somewhere, wholeheartedly, one-directionally, without regret or reservation.”-William H. Sheldon. 6) “We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when allthat we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.” -Charles Kingsley.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 2013, I pledge to help you feel at peace and in love with your body; I willdo everything in my power to encourage you to triumph over media-induced delusions that tempt you towish you were different from who you actually are. My goal is to be one of your resourceful supporters in thecoming months – to be a member of your extensive team of allies. And I will be working with you to ensurethat this team grows to just the right size and provides you with just the right foundation. If all goes well,your extra help will ensure that you finish almost everything you start in the coming year. You will regularlyconquer everyday chaos and be a master of artful resolutions.Go to RealAstrology.com to check out rob Brezsny’sEXPANDED WEEKLY AUDIO HOROSCOPES and DAILY TEXT MESSAGE HOROSCOPES.The audio horoscopes are also available by phone at 877/873-4888 or 900/950-7700.NOTICES cont.1173 - Blanks, DeondraBedding / Clothing; Furniture2180 - Lucio, PeteBedding / Clothing; Boxes /Bags / Totes; FurnitureNOTICE OF PUBLIC SALEPS Orangeco, Inc. hereby givesnotice that the property generallydescribed below is beingsold to satisfy a Landlord’s Lienpursuant to Chapter 59 of theTexas Property Code, at thetime and place indicated below,and on the following terms: Allproperty generally describedbelow will be sold at public saleto the highest bidder for cash,or credit cards, NO CHECKS,with payment to be made atthe time of the sale.
