 Sometimes I need to remember things like this in order to create from where I think there's nothing left to pull from.


TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Winner of the American Book Award in 1963,
William Stafford wrote thousands of poems. The raw materials for his
often-beautiful creations were the fragments and debris of his daily
rhythm. "I have woven a parachute out of everything broken," he said in
describing his life's work. You are now in a phase when you could achieve
a comparable feat, Taurus. You have the power to turn dross into
sweetness, refuse into treasure, loss into gain.

Mine says

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): "We cannot have any unmixed emotions," said
poet William Butler Yeats. "There is always something in our enemy that
we like, and something in our sweetheart that we dislike." I hope that's
OK with you, Taurus. In fact I hope you regard that as a peculiar blessing -
- as one of the half-maddening, half-inspiring perks of life on earth. The
fact is, as I see it, that you are in the thick of the Season of Mixed
Emotions. The more graciously you accept that -- the more you invite it
to hone your soul's intelligence -- the better able you'll be to capitalize on
the rich and fertile contradictions that are headed your way.


That sounds about right.
