Viajar en Cuero
Jan 31:
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The planet’s biggest annual orgy of pollination is about to take place. A million beehives from all over America and Australia are on trucks headed to a 600,000-acre patch of almond orchards in California’s Central Valley. For the next three weeks or so, 40 billion bees will be in service to almond flowers as they facilitate the mixing of male and female reproductive materials. This scene could rightly serve as your metaphor of the week, Libra. You, too, are primed for a tremendous pollination event - a time of intense mingling in service to fertility.
(an old one ~November, that I enjoy)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Some years ago, in an advertisement designed to attract Spanish-speaking flyers, U.S.-based Braniff Airlines bragged about its leather seats with the phrase “viajar en cuero.” But that phrase actually means “to travel stark naked,” not “to travel on leather.” The marketing department goofed. One of your main goals in the coming week, Libra, should be to prevent comparable outbreaks of the “lost in translation” syndrome. In fact, I urge you to act as an interpreter in situations where different worlds overlap. Be sure, for example, that extroverts and introverts understand each other. Facilitate the communication between cynics and optimists, morning people and night owls, caffeine addicts and pot heads, dreamers and realists. Be especially alert for misunderstandings that may arise during interactions between the right and left sides of your own brain.
