a forecast for 17 - 23 September... and a reflection on 10 - 16 September

Taurus April 20 - May 20
The heavens have shifted slightly.
As such, this isn't so much about individual horoscopes, but is more about the whole, taken as a whole.

Leo July 23 - August 22
And the shifting's changed the music of the spheres, perhaps disrupted it for a few moments, as notes and waves realign themselves, dissonance settling back into harmony. Notes etched in the ether, that elusive element.

Virgo August 23 - September 22
Like a crystal goblet when you've clinked it against another; not as you're toasting, but as you're carrying them out to the dinner table, crystal against crystal held upside-down. And you pray that they don't break, not before you've set them down on the table, where they won't shatter underfoot.

Gemini May 21 - June 20
And you wouldn't believe it, those notes tinging around the still of the house, falling to rest over the dust on the television and the various pieces of furniture that dust tends to stick to with a vengeance, resonating for longer than you can possibly hear.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19
Belief is difficult to come by, sometimes.

Cancer June 21 - July 22
There is still goodness in the world.

Pisces February 19 - March 20
And think of those sounds, beyond your hearing, beyond your sense, senses. Your still house becomes a cathedral, of sorts, great and Gothic and with sounds hiding in the crevices before settling in for the night, mingling with whispers spoken during the course of the day.

Aries March 21 - April 19
And the houses of the planets, as well, inside this miniature where scale and perspective no longer make any sense, it's so dizzying that you get down on your knees on the carpet, peering under the cupboards and chairs, maybe with the cool of the linoleum just over in the kitchen on your cheek comforting, if only in it's rippled surface and contours, almost consciousness.

Libra September 23 - October 22
And you wonder if someone comes in will they assume you've been praying, and will they ask if you're okay. And will they see the dust on your knees and your elbows, and maybe on the goblets.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21
And will you tell them that you were listening to the symphony, the one you could follow as it slipped around those very same contours you gathered dust from, and it all started with your crystal.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21
But you know whatever you say it won't sound right, it won't make sense, it'll sound harsh and clumsy next to the music of the spheres, which you can feel, even if you can't quite hear it any longer.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18
Tell someone you love them. And there are good things in the world.
