ARIES (March 21–April 19): Here are examples of activities I recommend you try in the coming days. (1) Build a campfire on the beach with friends and regale each other with stories of your most interesting successes. (2) Buy eccentric treasures at a flea market and thereafter refer to them as your holy icons. (3) Climb a hill and sit on the grass as you sing your favorite songs and watch the moon slowly rise over the eastern horizon. (4) Take naps when you’re “not supposed to.” (5) Sneak into an orchard at night and eat fruit plucked just moments before. (6) Tell a beloved person a fairy tale in which they are the hero.
TAURUS (April 20–May 20): The hardiest creature on the planet may be the bacterium known as Deinococcus radiodurans. It can endure exposure to radiation, intense cold, dehydration, acid, and vacuum. I propose we make it your power creature for the coming weeks. Why? Not because I expect you’ll have to deal with a lot of extreme conditions, but rather because I think you’ll be exceptionally robust, both physically and psychologically. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to succeed at demanding challenges that require you to be in top form, now is a good time to do it. P.S. Deinococcus radiodurans is colloquially referred to as Conan the Bacterium, borrowing from the spirit of the fictional character Conan the Barbarian, who is renowned for his strength and agility.
