I place no stock in astrology, but

I will check Free Will Astrology by Rob Brezsny every once in a while, because what he says and how he says it seems less like your standard newspaper or grocery store checkout magazine bullshit about love and money and more like a meditation. Also, I don’t think we should ignore coincidence (which does not mean I think coincidence is any more than just that; see my thoughts in this very blog about apophenia here and here).

Anyway, here’s capricorn’s horoscope for the week of November 24, from Free Will Astrology:

The Golden Gate Bridge spans the place where San Francisco Bay meets the Pacific Ocean. It wasn’t easy to build. The water below is deep, wind-swept, beset with swirling currents, and on occasion shrouded with blinding fog. Recognizing its magnificence, the American Society of Civil Engineers calls the bridge one of the modern Wonders of the World. Strange to think, then, that the bridge was constructed between 1933 and 1937, during the height of the Great Depression. I suggest you make it your symbol of power for the coming weeks, Capricorn. Formulate a plan to begin working toward a triumph in the least successful part of your life.
