This week's Gemini 'scope from Free Will Astrology:
week starting August 29th
Astrologer Caroline Casey offers an apt metaphor to illustrate
how crucial it is for us to hear and read good stories.
She notes that if we don't have enough of the
normal, healthy kind of iodine in our bodies, we absorb
radioactive iodine, which has entered the food chain through
nuclear test explosions conducted in the atmosphere. Similarly,
unless we fill ourselves up with transformative, soulful stories,
we're more susceptible to sopping up poisonous, degenerative
narratives. This is always true, but it's especially apropos for
you now, Gemini. Why? Because you're erecting new structures
in your psyche, and you need the very best building materials.
Poet Muriel Rukeyser said, "The world is made of stories, not
atoms." I'd add, *"You* are made of stories, too."
