A different writer every week takes on the stars. What’s in store? Stay tuned...

Week of August 11-17
By Wanda Noonan

Aries:
Don’t walk back what you just said. The only way out (of this conversation) is through. Let the people around you rise to the occasion rather than babying them. Let forward motion be a shared goal.

Taurus:
Don’t be a hero. If “should” is making you feel twisty inside, put it on hold. Your larger commitments are all well and good, but it’s time to let yourself express something you’ve been putting off. Be a little selfish this week.

Gemini:
Your normal mediums are feeling threadbare. Try something cringe in private. Write a country song on a napkin. Spray paint your first word on a city-owned garbage truck. Do something that nothing will come of and let it recharge you.

Cancer:
Other people’s conclusions aren’t just out of your control—they’re not even your business! Petty frustrations are blocking you from seeing the big picture. Stay out of the weeds if you can help it. You’re on a larger arc than you can see right now.

Leo:
If music is playing and no one’s dancing, it might be on you to get up and start to groove. This is your season after all. Relish the authority and use it for good. We need you!

Virgo:
If you’re feeling sentimental this week, it’s because the trends targeting you have missed their mark. That’s a good thing! Think back on a time in your life you felt held, catered to, seen. Queue up an album you used to love, put on a shirt you haven’t worn in a while. The present moment is bewildering. Hold your own hand and try not to take things too personally.

Libra:
Clarity is coming in waves, and it can feel powerful and lonely. This is a good week to journal before you speak, lest your insights fall on sensitized ears and backfire (especially if dealing with a Virgo). You’re smart. Go in with a plan.

Scorpio:
Your shoulders are looking a little stiff. Put a picture of yourself on the wall and throw a dart at it. Laughter will lubricate your efforts this week. Flexibility over brute force.

Sagittarius:
Someone is looking for you! If pieces of your energy are rearing up and feel unmet, it’s because collaboration is imminent. Reach out to an acquaintance just to say hi. They are concocting something and they need you.

Capricorn:
Be wary of autopilot. It’s okay to hold off on decisions if you don’t have an answer. Reacting quickly to appease isn’t your friend this week. Err on the side of “I’ll get back to you.”

Aquarius:
As always, you’re seeing things other people miss. Sit in a summer-emptied cafe and watch, for a lost dog to trot past or a bit actor from a show you loved in high school. The world wants to show you things.

Pisces:
Passions are cresting and you might be feeling a little sorry for yourself. Mid August is the most liminal time of year, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Especially for you! Call someone you trust and let yourself babble.

About “Ethics”

Ehics like something that could be there but isn’t. Ethics like how you should be can do act relate and are. Ethics like a problem or something. Ethics like God or culture or society I guess. Society if acknowledgement of lack of meaning society if lack society. Society if lack. And stuff like that. Imagine lack. Imagine building a statue of it or taking a picture or putting it in the freezer. How would it look like frozen? How could you break off a chunk and give it to your friend and put it in a glass? What would you pour over it? Diet cranberry juice? Yummmmyyyyyy. But so yeah its like that or like the things around other things. It’s a magazine just so you know.

It’s everything you’ve ever wanted.
