Pisces Horoscope for week of February 16, 2006
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Life is stark at the U.S. Navy base in Guantanamo Bay, even for the people who aren't imprisoned there. Newsday reports that there are 23 men for every woman among the 2,800 free Americans. Raccoon-sized rats are fixtures in the local wildlife. The border between the base and the rest of Cuba is littered with underground mines. In recent months, however, a few luxuries have begun to arrive. There's now a Starbucks, Pizza Hut, and miniature golf course. I don't want to make light of the situation, but I do want these new developments to serve as a metaphor for you. What's the most desolate, forbidding area of your psyche? Build the equivalent of a miniature golf course there.
Hmmmm... this bears thinking about... :-? The trouble, here, is that I kind of like desolate, forbidding areas, and I'm not sure mine would benefit from a mini golf course (though I do like a game now and then ;-)...) After all, aren't we supposed to make friends with our shadows and all that, the better to be complete?
But... The boy's never steered me wrong, so let's see... Where's my Mordor, as 't'were?... I suppose there's a little excessive darkness in the general area of my trust. Granted, it's there with good reason, but I still suspect there's a more than I really need. So. Golf course. 18 holes. Always liked the ones with waterfalls, so we'll put one smack in the middle. And one of the holes needs to have a little windmill where you have to hit the ball through the propellermajiggers. And another with a little bridge, and you have to get the ball over it without it going over the sides into the creek that'll flow from the waterfall.... :-?... And there need to be weird statues and fountains scattered around just for whimsey's sake... Yes, that works...
