how Facebook, Twitter and TXTs help citizens in repressive regimes
to report on real news, bypassing censors (however briefly). The
end of top-down control of news is changing the nature of politics."

Week beginning June 25

CANCER (June 21-July 22):
"His heart was growing full of broken wings and artificial
flowers," wrote poet Federico Garcia Lorca. "In his
mouth, just one small word was left." There were times during
the first half of June when I was tempted to borrow those words
to describe you, Cancerian. Now, thankfully, you're moving into
a much brighter phase. The buds that are about to bloom in your
heart are very much alive, not artificial, and your wings, while
not fully restored to strength, are healing. Meanwhile, your mouth
is even now being replenished with a fresh supply of many vivid
words.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
What scares you or perturbs you in the coming week could, by
August, become what fuels you. What makes you feel unsettled and
out of sorts could turn out to be good medicine. But of course
you're under no obligation to submit yourself to this experimental
sequence, Leo. The fact is, you could probably run away from the
discomfort and get immediate relief. Unfortunately, taking that
approach would deprive you of the benefits that will almost certainly
come from enduring the discomfort for a while. My preference is
that you be brave and far-seeing.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
There's a better than even chance that you're about to embark
on a Summer of Love. To improve your odds even more, meditate
on the following questions. 1. What qualities do you look for
in a lover that you would benefit from developing more fully in
yourself? 2. What do you think are your two biggest delusions
about the way love works? 3. Is there anything you can do to make
yourself more lovable? 4. Is there anything you can do to be more
loving? 5. Are you willing to deal with the fact that any intimate
relationship worth pursuing will inevitably evoke the most negative
aspects of both partners -- and require both partners to heal
their oldest wounds?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
You are entering a phase when you'll have more power than usual
to influence people. Your charisma will be waxing and the light
in your eyes will be growing more intense, making it more likely
that your point of view will be heard and appreciated. Your powers
of persuasion will be increasing, as well, and you'll have extra
understanding about how to motivate people and get them to work
together effectively. So let me ask you the most important question:
What exactly do you want to accomplish with your enhanced clout?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Congratulations, Scorpio. You've reached the end of the Big Squeeze.
You've served your time in the bottleneck. And so I invite you
to relax your pinched expression, loosen up your puckered expectations,
and let the Season of Experiments begin. According to my projections,
you will soon be receiving a host of invitations to wander into
the frontier with your raw sense of wonder turned up all the way.
Please research each invitation thoroughly before choosing. When
you've decided which adventures are most likely to enhance your
understanding of the art of liberation, dive in.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
A guy I barely know critiqued me at a party recently. "You
haven't suffered enough to feel intense passion," he said.
"Your life has been too happy, too easy." I didn't want
to get into a debate about whether my life has been too happy
and easy, so in my reply I didn't mention my divorce or the time
I was shot or the grueling poverty I endured for 18 years. "So
you're saying," I told him, "that suffering is the only
way you can acquire passion? I don't agree. Have you ever raised
a child? Have you ever been in love with someone who incited you
to make radical changes in your life? Have you ever worked on
a creation for many years and then submitted it to be judged by
thousands of people? I have." I'm letting you know about
this, Sagittarius, because I predict you'll soon be offered an
experience like those I named -- adventures that have the potential
to build intense passion without requiring you to suffer.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
"The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into
windows," said journalist Sydney J. Harris. That would be
an excellent motto for you to live by in the coming weeks, Capricorn.
Whether or not you're enrolled in school, you're in a phase when
your capacity for attracting learning experiences is at a peak.
To take maximum advantage of the cosmic tendencies, all you have
to do is cultivate a hungry curiosity for fresh teachings and
life lessons -- especially those that shift you away from gazing
at your own reflection and toward peering out at the mysteries
of the world.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Here's a preview of the accomplishments I expect you to complete
in the next four weeks. Number of karmic debts paid off and canceled:
1. Number of bad habits replaced with good habits: 2. Number of
holes blasted in your theory about why you can't do more of what
you love to do: 300. Number of "necessities" lost that
turn out not to be necessities: 1. Number of psychic wounds successfully
medicated: 1. Number of confusing messes that evolve into interesting
opportunities: 2. Number of romantic obstructions eliminated:
1 and a half.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
A delicious forbidden fruit will be more available than usual
in the coming weeks. You can choose to ignore it, of course. You
can pretend it's not even there and instead concentrate on the
less forbidden fruits that are tasty enough. Or, on the other
hand, you can sidle up closer to the forbidden fruit and engage
in some discreet explorations, testing subtly to see whether it's
any healthier for your sanity than it used to be. I'm not sure
what the best decision is, Pisces, but I do suggest this: Don't
just rip off all your defenses, forget all your commitments, and
start heedlessly taking big bites out of the forbidden fruit.
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Reality TV personality Spencer Pratt used to be skeptical about
the power of prayer. But his wife Heidi, herself a devout believer,
urged him to keep his mind open. Then, as an experiment, Spencer
asked God to help him and Heidi get a double date with teen pop
star Miley Cyrus and her boyfriend, despite the fact that neither
of them even knew Cyrus. Apparently God heard and responded, because
not too long after that, the hoped-for double date did indeed
come to pass. I'm telling you this, Aries, because I think you're
entering a phase when you, like Pratt, will have extra luck in
making idiosyncratic wishes come true. If I were you, though,
I'd focus on more profound idiosyncratic wishes than the kind
Pratt pined for.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Do you have a subconscious urge to escape the constraints of
your customary behavior? Have you ever wished you could be someone
else for a while? If so, this is your lucky week, Taurus. The
cosmos is granting you a temporary exemption from acting and feeling
like your same old self. From now until July 2, you have permission
to walk like, talk like, think like, and even make love like a
Pisces or Virgo or Gemini -- or any sign, for that matter, except
Scorpio or Aquarius. You might enjoy checking out my horoscopes
for the other signs, and following the advice that sounds most
fun.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
It's Fete Your Feet Week, Gemini. Your soles definitely need
more attention, pampering, and contact with nature. (So does your
soul, and hopefully that will happen as you carry out the more
literal assignment.) So abstain from wearing your shoes and socks
at every opportunity. Get as much contact as possible between
your naked feet and the naked earth. Even walking unshod on floors
and pavements could prove helpful. Foot massages are advisable,
as well as pedicures, henna tattoos, and foot baths. Try praying
with your feet instead of your hands, and see if you can get someone
to kiss and adore you down there.
