Quiet? Us?!
By Triana Èlan
Recently I ran across a quote from a book written in 1955 called "The
Quiet American." I couldn’t help but be given pause, because it seems we
never shut up! It seems that no matter where we turn, we are yapping and
blabbing and barking and whining and jeering.
I’m devoting this essay to chuckling. I received a joke through email
last week that was so funny to me I didn’t care whether or not it was true:
- The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than
the British or Americans.
- The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks
than the British or Americans.
- The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart
attacks than the British or Americans.
- The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer
fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
- The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and
suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently
what kills you.
Aries (March 21 - April 20):
As we move on toward further uncertainty
and chaos, stay your own course. At times you might be tempted to be the
Fighting Knight, but the wise will know when when to step back and wait.
Since you don’t like to wait in any line, your attention will be better
directed toward your own goal. The planets are about to get a little
sloppy; make sure you’re not!
Taurus (April 21 - May 20):
Comfort and security are the two things that
mean the most to you, which is why your sign is hard hit now. For any
individual it’s difficult to find steadfastness and loyalty in the
world. So quit looking for it. Remain true to yourself, Taurus. Use this
period of time as a classroom, remain vigilant, see your own triggers
and change bad habits. Try a new tactic with an open mind or inquiry
rather than expecting a certain outcome.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20):
Finally Saturn has come out of retrograde in
your sign! It leaves your sign in June; you’re almost there! Saturn’s
sojourn in one’s Sun sign is always difficult and since you are a mind
that lives in the past or the future, the past couple of years has been
difficult for you. Saturn is a strict teacher that doesn’t miss a trick.
Take stock! At least you know what doesn’t work, which leaves room for
many other possibilities.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22):
I just leaned the other day that if you take
a crab and stand it on its head it will be still (it wasn't explained
why). Since that animal is the symbol of your sign, let's look at it a
little more closely: the crab scuttles side to side. This indicates
lateral movement and could mean lateral thinking. The concept of "up" or
"down" is difficult to grasp. Yet your thinking processes must rise
above the realm of habit in order for you to gain any ground. Go take a
class and learn something new. You have to join the world sometime!
Leo (July 23 - August 22):
As we creep toward Spring, you may find
yourself bereft of anything to look forward to due to the uncertainty of
our world. Order and space and quiet are essential for you to be
productive and at your best. You must take time to reflect, to still
your thoughts and to regain a sense of calm. Not easy these days, but
you can do it. You'll just have to work a little harder to get it.
Fortunately, hard work is something you're good at!
Virgo (August 23 - September 22):
Looking at Should Be is going to
further any distress you have, so don't go there. Thinking that way will
only screw up your time management attempts. This is a very distracting
time for everyone, especially for the mutable signs like you who try to
be everywhere and do everything. Take a break. And quit procrastinating
over that paperwork! If you use the excuse "I work best under pressure"
you'll miss an opportunity later. Just do it.
Libra (September 23 - October 22):
With Saturn finally going direct in
your fellow air sign of Gemini, you're going to feel relief and a sense
of a different, better kind of order in your life. Now you'll be able to
restructure, resurrect, reassess and feel better. Just take things one
day at a time, remain true to yourself, and don't let anyone encroach in
your emotional territory. You don't need to get knocked off your rails
anymore. While it's initially thrilling, it's damaging to you in the
long term.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 22):
Very soon mighty Uranus moves out of
Aquarius and into your fellow water sign of Pisces. This will bring with
it a huge period of change for you, and an opening of relationship that
you have not yet experienced. A milder, gentler time is in store for
you, but it will take you a while to let your guard down. It's been a
very long eight years, hasn't it? Now listen...prepare yourself by
refraining from jumping to conclusions. Take time to see what is really
there.
Sagittarius (November 23 - December 20):
So now we move into muddier
waters in March. But don't fret, you've hopefully made enough headway to
morph yourself into a jet-ski and fly over them. You've had to do some
very hard work on yourself, Archer, and your unrelenting sense of
justice has chased away a lot of riff-raff. Now relax and see what the
terrain is like before you go charging off again. Choose your fellow
adventurers wisely and they'll be with you for a long time.
Capricorn (December 21 - January 19):
Stern Saturn, your ruler, has now
come out of retrograde. It doesn't matter which sign Saturn occupies;
when it's retrograde you have a hard time. In this case, Saturn has been
retro since last October, in the sign of mental Gemini. This has
certainly added to a lot of confusion for you in the area of shared
assets, business ventures with others and close friendships. Your best
and brightest friends just let you have your space to do what you need
to do. Refrain from being heavy-handed. Unless you're a top ranking
military official, you don't need to bark out orders. That kind of
behavior won't be well received.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 19):
Saturn is your co-ruler and it has
just come out of retrograde; it's been asleep in Gemini since last
October. You should be sensing a freedom of movement now that you
thought would never come back. This occurs in your area of
self-expression. A time of reevaluating begins now, an opportunity to
explore the way your own mind works. Saturn will not allow you to jump
to conclusions and assume. Get out the mental WD-40 and spray the
hinges, you'll need it!
Pisces (February 20-March 20)
As mighty, antagonistic Uranus eyes
your sign to move into, you.re no doubt feeling the tremblings of major
change within yourself. Uranus will occupy your first Solar House of
Self-Image for no less than eight years beginning on the 9th of March.
Flex those swimming muscles and get ready for the ride of your life,
Pisces! It.s your turn to transform and go into the crucible of
restructuring! Don.t be afraid, just grab your surfboard!
