maybe I'll run away with the circus

here's a snippet from my weekly newsletter from Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology:

-Your secret name is Squeeze
-The colors of your soul are diamond-hatched and marbled blue
-Your special emotion is skeptical faith
-The garage sale item you most resemble is an old but beautiful and sonorous accordion with a broken key
-Your magic smell is candy skulls being crushed on graves by dancing feet
-Your holiest pain comes from your ability to sense other people's cracked notions about you
-Your sacred fungus is yeast
-Your special time of day is the moment just before the mist evaporates
-The shape of your life is oval with soft dark sparks
-Your lucky phobia is epienopopontonphobia, or fear of crossing the wine-dark sea
-Your power spot is here and there
-The flavor that identifies you most is grapefruit smeared with honey


and here's my horoscope for this past week:

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
If I ever get around to gathering the birth dates of history's greatest jugglers, I'm sure I'll find that a disproportionately high percentage of them have been Geminis. Members of your tribe are famously adept at keeping things up in the air. Down through the centuries, your sign has probably also dominated the professions of tightrope walking, sleight of hand, and ventriloquism. Let's hope you have your fair share of all four of these talents (or their metaphorical equivalents), because they'll come in especially handy in the coming weeks.
