"If they come back, they're yours if they don't, they never were." By using my well-educated intellect to transmute this hippy-dippy thought into practical advice, I came up with a wise strategy for you to consider as you re-evaluate your relationships with allies. "If you love someone, set them free," said New Age author Richard Bach. Even if you haven't been particularly street smart up until now, Cancerian, I bet your ability to learn from uncategorizable experiences will blossom.

For at least the next three weeks, I suspect you will also be available for an inordinate amount of what Chodorow calls "the light of focused insight" and "the playful, blissful, all-embracing experience of joy." Aren't all of us subject to regular encounters with those states? How could you possibly go so long without brushing up against them? I stand by my prediction, and push even further.

I realize that what I just said might sound like an exaggeration. I believe you'll thrive through the practice of ingenious rebellion - never in service to your pride, but always to feed your soul's lust for deeper, wilder life.
