today's horoscope

"Is the electron a wave or a particle? Physicists had to conduct thousands of experiments to arrive at the definitive answer, which is that it's both. In other words, the solution to one of the fundamental questions about the nature of reality is a paradox. I think this strongly suggests that the correct response to many other riddles about the ultimate truth might be two seemingly opposing explanations. Could the Unitarians and Buddhists both be right? Socialists and capitalists? Mystics and scientists? In the upcoming days, Aries, you will be offered lots of practice in adopting this approach as you deal with a personal dilemma that's very much akin to "Is the electron a wave or a particle?"



Is reality Minneapolis or New Orleans? One of the two has just got to be a breach.

I'm about to hop on a plane with an empty suitcase. I'm about to go home and fill it.

It's been over a month since I first left for New Orleans, expecting to stay for a week, have some good times, and then keep traveling. And now, 6 weeks later, I'm reluctantly heading to the airport make a visit to the very bizarre other-world where I grew up. I'm leaving behind friends, plans, music, my job, my house, and all of the things I had initially packed in the suitcase that I've been living out of.

Reality has relocated. My dreams even take place here now.

I'm nervous about finding myself in Minnesota and suddenly waking up from this amazing dream that has just flown by. In weeks I've lived lifetimes here. I'm afraid to put this lady of a city on hold and interrupt the endless, gaseous, go-go-go she has so generously showered me in.

I really am excited to get some love and some grounding by my beautiful people at home, who I know now more than ever are to be people I will absolutely ALWAYS love.

But I can't say I won't be daydreaming about her sweltering afternoons, her street parties, her lackadaisical rhythm, her neighborhood characters, and her catfish po'boys the whole time. . .
