Capricorn Horoscope for week of September 4, 2008
"The whole history of civilization is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards." So said British essayist Walter Bagehot. I would add the following corollary: The fortunes of many individuals have declined because of belief systems and structures that were invigorating earlier in their lives but that gradually became paralyzing or parasitical. Has that ever been true about you, Capricorn? More importantly, might it become true in the future? Please take inventory of your reliance on theories and attitudes and methods that made good sense once upon a time but that are now becoming irrelevant or even counterproductive.
Maybe I should take a break from worrying about my spirituality. It would alleviate a lot of guilt about unread books, unbeaten drums, unfulfilled vows and uncharitable attitudes (last night this fucking panhandler decided to wash our car windshield unannounced & then demanded we buy him a hot dog. I'm like, "Yeah, you spread dirty water (I hope it was just water... thinking about where panhandlers get a dripping wet squeegee is not something I want to spend a bunch of time on) on the windshield & expect us to pay you for your services?! And then get pissed off at us for not handing you a buck?!" I spent the entire ride home looking at those drying brown splotches & getting more & more annoyed. I was mostly annoyed at myself for being uncharitable, not because I was thinking about how bad a person I was being, but because I was thinking how bad a Pagan and aspiring Buddhist I was being...)
