Freak
freak [freek]
n (plural freaks)
1. strikingly unusual person, animal, plant: a person, animal, or plant that is
strikingly unusual, and appears to be unique or occurs very rarely (offensive
in some contexts)
Let your freak flag fly!

Aquarius/Aquarius Rising*(Jan 20-Feb 19): by the time we reach the 11th
sign, we are almost home, Dorothy. A flaw in your preceding sign of
Capricorn is that the freaky behavior has to be hidden or only the 1% know
about it. You ain’t having none of that. You are that strikingly unusual
person that challenges others to lighten and loosen up. Venus is in Aries
until March 5. She will be wearing red and taking no prisoners! Your mind
becomes even more experimental (if that’s even possible), and so does your
mouth. It is an excellent time to take a spontaneous trip from Mt Olympus
or any ivory towers to get in touch with the common folk. Face it, you are
rarely a materialistic snob, but fools you do not suffer silently. You provoke
the slow thinkers and conventional people with no regrets. Value your
independence while figuring out precise ways to trip the light fantastic (and
fanatic). The only tornadoes you’ll have to worry about are those that
uproot you lest you become too much like an emotionally stifled and
repressed Capricorn.

Pisces/Pisces Rising (Feb 18-Mar 20):   Another definition of freak is a
“fanatic: somebody who is fanatical about something (informal) a club for
fitness freaks”. With your adaptable water bee-hind, you enter into certain
atmospheres, pick up and surrender to the vibrations, and you’re off on
some extreme adventure (especially when you’re away from home). The
face that your modern ruler Neptune has just entered your sign, you have
one of the best placements for letting go of how you present yourself in
order to please others. And, you can too easily overdo this need to be all
things to those around you. Until March 5, let Value Added Venus stoke
your passions about what makes you feel good about being you. No more
flying your freak flag at half mast as if you are ashamed of yourself. Let the
world believe what it wants to, you can give us something to talk about…

Aries/Aries Rising* (Mar 21-Apr 19): It’s not unusual (or freaky) for you to be
unable to get along with members of the same sex. A fanatic for the
underdog and all forms of competition, be that physical or mental, that’s
you in your insecure zone. Starting, stirring and stealing something, that’s
you too. Starting new stuff and new ways of perfecting your work, look
backwards at your incomplete projects to go forward, these are ways to turn
your singular freak into an acceptable freak. Stirring up our resistance to
change and seeing things your way, that’s another aspect of the freak. If
you’re going to be a thief, please steal our hearts with your inspirational and
courage self.

Taurus/Taurus Rising* (Apr 20-May 21): Your life resembles a follower of
Epicures. A philosophy devoted to the development of a heightened
sensuality. In your insecure freaky manner, you can easily become over
attached, addicted and materialistic. When confident, you are exhibit this
definition of freak: Somebody unconventional: somebody who is thought to
behave unusually or have unusual tastes or habits (informal insult).
However, I am not insulting you, I see you as an Epicurean or an ancient
royal taster. For you, it’s all about the senses, how you can experience the
joy of being physical. Once you learn to control your appetites, that is, not
go to extremes, you shine. Venus in Aries can indicate an increased
awareness of dreams and past lives. Continue to exhibit and give more
compassion within your relationships.

Gemini/Gemini Rising* (May 21-Jun 20): I think, therefore I freak. More
likely to begin as an observer of our indelicate or extreme behaviors, you
eventually imagine what you really can get away with. During mid winter,
you get these visions of how to communicate a more optimistic future for
you and yours. You move between what you think is acceptable and what
you imagine to be ‘out there’. Thoughts are not to be judged as wrong or
bad. But, you’ve got to let your mind lead you out of what you consider to
be conventional. Your life can be as simple as ‘do what you will, but harm
none’. Hey, not my words, this motto was started by St. Augustine. Be
unusual and live life fully.

Cancer/Cancer Rising* (Jun 21-July 21): Yo’ mama a.k.a. Playing the
Dozens began what we now call ’trash talk’.   Sensitive with a hard shell,
that’s your freaky mix. You’ll talk more trash than anyone while not
showing how it can hurt you. It may be time to leave your armor behind.
There’s no shame is showing where your vulnerabilities lie. Particularly
when you trust someone, it becomes increasingly important to drop your
defenses. Unless we know where you can be hurt, we may keep on talking
trash. If it love that you want, you must soften up enough to receive it.
There’s a new cycle for the next 3 weeks that love may find you through
your career (and you could find you have more joy in your work).

Leo/Leo Rising* (July 22-Aug 22):   Even your normally conventional self
has to admit that freaks are unusually individualists of the highest sort.
You do realize that the freaks come out at night. You respect folk who
have the courage or chutzpah to live without worrying about what other
people think of them.   Secretly, you respect their strength. Well, that trait
exists within you. With pleasure seeking and giving Venus moving through
passionate and supportive Aries, you have an open path to transforming
your philosophy of how to live better with those closest to you. It’s all about
the sharing your true self, not dominating or controlling how we see you.
Refuse to be dominated by your insecurities, and definitely do not act from
them.

Virgo/Virgo Rising* (Aug 22-Sept 22): Last week I wrote about the “Age of
Aquarius”. This is the 21st century and women in the US Senate have
taken on the assertion that they cannot believe we are still having a
conversation regarding birth control for women. The American soul has
become freakishly dishonest as it relates to sex. Yes, an ability to self-
identify as a freak means thinking for yourself as it relates to how you
experience pleasure, and the consequences thereof. Consciousness and
freak identified go hand in hand. In the very real sense that the most
balanced and illuminating ’freaks’ have an awareness of their difference,
their ability to think for themselves.

Libra/Libra Rising* (Sep 23-Oct 22): Venus blazes a new trail in your 7th
house of partnership and the “other” through Aries until March 5th. When
you become too indecisive, you desire your “other” to become pushy, direct
and even aggressive. Then, decision making gets easier…follow or leave.
Keeping your eye out defensively does not always work. Be unique, but
trust yourself to be real. Any time any planetary teacher moves through
Aries, you learn to be in the moment, standing up courageously for what or
who really matters. Realize it is not about your serving another person as it
is more about your serving a mutually agreed upon ideal or value within the
relationship. Submissiveness is not synonymous with being weak, not at
all. If you need reminding, wear red, a fiery color to symbolize your
increased spirit and self-affirmation. Oh, and how our you a freak? It all
comes down to your idea of fairness and social justice (or lack of it).

Scorpio/Scorpio Rising* (Oct 23-Nov 21): Begun in Libra, please read their
message first. Like the scale bearer, you have an innate need for balance,
it just comes through your witness bearing soul, and your motives are
usually entirely more complicated. Can you even figure them out? Your
motives, that is, not Librans. Without some steady and consistent
psychological work, no you cannot. The origins of the word ‘freak’ are
unknown, possibly Old English “frician” which means “to dance”. And,
dance, you shall. The way you move your body between dark and light is
amazing. You and Aquarius probably freakishly came up with the
phrase/concept “friends with benefits”. Not that there’s anything wrong with
that precise kind of hook up. Remember it is the why behind your actions
that matter. Let Venus help you begin again with anyone you’ve taken an
extreme stance on. Life is for the living and the present. Let go of those
harmful pasts.

Sagittarius/Sagittarius Rising* (Nov 22-Dec 19): You are merrier when the
numbers are larger. After all, you were born during the holidays. I believe
we reflect the time of year in which we were born. Sunny Leos, taciturn
Capricorns and who’d not say that Scorpios are not spooky like Halloween?
Your changeable fire emits such a glow during any and all celebrations.
Playful and erotic Venus blazes a new trail through Aries. You have the
planetary green light to explore your unusual tastes (get your freaky groove
on); This is not the time to sit idly by and let others take the lead. So what
if you are judged to be impetuous? Too bad repressed others cannot take,
let alone see the joke. Use this Saturday to reinstitute a ‘date night’ with
your beloved. Make up your own holiday or reason to celebrate. You’ll love
it, if you do.

Capricorn/Capricorn Rising* (Dec 21-Jan 19): Out of all the 12 signs, you’d
be the closet freak. Your tastes can be so refined that you need to
remember how to be down and dirty. You’re like the child all dressed up
but who is drawn to playing in the mud. It’s not a trashy or ghetto fabulous
thing. Or is it? Oh, please admit, at least to yourself in a quiet moment,
that you can have class issues. It’s the silent freak in you, judging luxuries
as you do. Permit yourself to dream, to see how you can have more of
what you enjoy in your life. Release those messages that keep you mired
in poverty consciousness or feeling you can rarely have what (or whom) you
really desire.

*The Rising Sign a.k.a. Ascendant represents your approach to life and the
mask you wear. Read that sign as well to get additional information on
what’s in store this week.
