Basically

Here is my horoscope, by Rob Brezsny, for the week of Valentine’s Day 2008:

Scholar Suzanne Juhasz says that Emily Dickinson‘s eroticism “inflects and charges” most of her poems. “Erotic DESIRE—sensuous, nuanced, flagrant, extreme, outlandish, and profound—is her way of interacting with the world.” From an astrological perspective, it would make perfect sense if you experimented with a similar predilection in the coming days, Leo. During the superheated grace period you’ll be enjoying, interesting things are likely to happen to you if you basically just make love to the whole world. The urge to merge shouldn’t just be the icing on the cake. It should be the icing, the cake, the plate it’s on, your eating of the cake, your feeding of the cake to others, and all the stories you tell yourself about your encounter with the cake.

Happy Solstice.
