i am a saggitarius, with gemini rising. this is my gemini horoscope for this week:

It’s time to declare amnesty for the part of you that you don’t love very well. Forgive that poor sucker. Hold its hand and take it out to dinner and a movie. Tactfully offer it a chance to make amends for the dumb things it has done. And then do a dramatic reading of this proclamation by the playwright Theodore Rubin: “I must learn to love the fool in me–the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool.”

oh yes. very, very true. I am finding it quite difficult, however. every now and then i feel a glimpse of compassion for that part of myself, like a sunbeam through a cloud on a stormy day. but it seems just out of reach, like an elusive butterfly. sometimes i feel it would be close enough to touch if my arms weren’t bound, if I wasn’t trapped inside this glass jar with holes punched in the lid.
