Aries – ice water, a bitter aftertaste, ripping apart cotton, music boxes, water slides, breathing in spray paint, glitter in your lip gloss, smoke in the high school bathroom. Taurus – when snakes shed their skin, catching snowflakes on your tongue, broken piano keys, dilated pupils, lollipops from the doctor’s office, teddy bears bigger than you are.  Gemini – freshly brewed coffee, when zippers get stuck, pricking your finger on a cactus, when the power goes out, sundresses in autumn, the ridges in your spine. Cancer – prominent veins, carrying around a good luck charm in your back pocket, sand stuck in your shoes, wind blown hair, speaking in your native tongue. Leo – laundromats at night, owls on telephone wires, a sunburn peeling & the soft skin underneath, sweet tea from the south, breakfast in bed, blurry photographs.  Virgo – a hangover you can’t shake & you have to wear sunglasses all day, iced coffee melting in the summer heat, the swing on the front porch, sand through the hourglass. Libra – a toothache, piling everything in the corner of your room, monsoons, black & white pictures, choking on a lifesaver, trying to walk a straight line when you get off the merry-go-round. Scorpio – silver lining, maple syrup on your fingers, walking the tight rope, cotton candy clouds, heaven in your headlights, not believing in good-byes, cutting off the frayed edges. Sagittarius – the way cats always land on their feet, sore throats, cheap wine in champagne classes, abstract paintings, sting of a wasp, collecting seashells, looking through old yearbooks. Capricorn – wishbones, the in-between level on an elevator, homesick, a peach pit, goosebumps on your thighs, throwing knives, drawing on the sidewalk with chalk, conversation hearts on valentine’s day. Aquarius – citrus smelling hair, harp strings, when the flowers start to wilt, the salt around the rim of the margarita glass, chandeliers in ballrooms, shaking the coconut to hear the rattle of the milk. Pisces – the colors of a pinwheel getting mashed together, codeine laced dreams, shadow games, lagoons, lemon slices, stumbling in high heels, string around your baby tooth & slamming the bed room door to wiggle it free.

the world will end in stardust. it’s the only way for us to go – a civilization built on constellations, our hands always reaching, grasping for the next star, the brightest star. look at the greeks, their stories etched in pinpricks of gold. look at us now, our pictures of galaxies a million miles away. we are children of lost gods. nothing kills them quite as well as being forgotten. and so the world will end with bleeding gods. ichor flows as gold as stars.

Aries – You’re making your way down a dangerous path that you won’t be able to sweet talk your way out of this time. There’s a thunderstorm brewing behind your eyes and I wouldn’t be surprised if you electrocuted everything you touch. The same way too much sun makes a desert, too much rain brings the flood.  Taurus – I know you have the habit to replay moments over and over, thinking you’ll be able to find where it all went to hell, and maybe if you could figure it out you could fix things. But you can’t. The past isn’t anything tangible. Stop beating yourself up over it all. Close the curtains and take your final bow. Gemini – You can’t force anybody to feel anything. Guilt trips aren’t the way you want somebody to love you. Moving on is hard and scary and I know you feel like you’re losing all of yourself. So tell the story. Tell them the truth, not just your sugarcoated and spun version of it. Then rewrite it into something new. The series is over. Find a new adventure. Cancer – You’re losing the best parts of yourself by hiding in everybody else’s shadows. Step back into the light, become a reason to stare. A car crash they can’t look away from. The chalk outline under the dim streetlamp. Don’t hide the brutality of you. Leo – At the core of you, you’re a story teller. No hushed tone, everything is told in a fervor, while you’re embracing the limelight. You're over dramatics are fascinating to watch, but we’re never learning anything real about you. You’re hiding behind a mask and wanting us all to believe you’re invincible. I want to hear about what you’re scared of, what keeps you up at night, what makes your gut lurch. Virgo – I see the way you’re coming up from the ashes, ready to be born again and this time you’re getting the say in who you want to be. You’re lighting yourself on fire to stay warm and then running out into the ocean when you’re ready to breathe again. I think you’re the face of the revolution. Libra – All the planning in the world won’t matter if you don’t act on it. Stop writing down your ideas and thinking that’s going to change things. You need to use your body, your hands, mouth, feet. If you want to see progress, you have to go grab it. There’s no silver platter coming your way. Every time they kick you down, get right back up. There’s a lot of fight in you, use it. Scorpio – People have the tendency to gravitate toward you when you’re high, but run for the hills when you’re down on your luck. More often than not, you’re going to be left thinking it’s your own fault. It’s not. If you can fight through the pain and stand up straight when the whole world is at your throat, then they should be able to stand by your side with pride in their eyes. So when they tell you that they messed up and wished they never left you, tell them, “I told you so.” Sagittarius – Don’t you think the over exaggerations are getting old? Not everybody is out to get you. People don’t pay half as much attention to you as you give them credit for. It’s like you’re in a fun house and your ego is distorted, making you think you’re bigger than you believe. When you walk back out into the night air, you’re going to be crushed by a dose of reality. Capricorn – You’re better than being stuck on the outside looking in. You’ve got ideas and a whole world inside of you. Things that haven’t ever been uttered aloud. Words that can reshape it all. Stop biting your tongue. You always talk about how reckless you are, but you never show it when it counts. You don’t need to be fearless, it’s okay to be on the edge and terrified to jump. What matters is the fact that you do. Aquarius – If this is your last leg to stand on, you better not hold back. Don’t go down without a fight. You were a fighter from the day you were born, savage and screaming, crying to remind them all that you’re still alive. Don’t go down quietly. Be louder than the oncoming storm. Pisces – Don’t you get it? You’re not a doll for them to use for their amusement. This isn’t their life, it’s yours. Stop letting them twist and contort you to fit their petty desires. You’re not domesticated. Not docile. Not quiet and safe. You’re high winds and gasping for their breath. Act like it.
