Everyone here read Rob Breszny‘s horoscopes?

I get them in my inbox once a week, and always read both my sun and rising sign, Gemini, simply because I enjoy his writing, his inspiration, and verve – so much.

Regardless of your sign, here’s a blessing for us all:

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):  In Western culture, the peacock is a symbol of vanity.  When we see the bird display its stunning array of iridescent feathers, we might think it’s lovely, but may also mutter, “What a show-off.”

But other traditions have treated the peacock as a more purely positive emblem:  an embodiment of hard-won and triumphant radiance.

In Tibetan Buddhist myths, for example, its glorious plumage is said to be derived from its transmutation of the poisons it absorbs when it devours dangerous serpents.

This version of the peacock is your power animal for now, Gemini. Take full advantage of your ability to convert noxious situations and fractious emotions into beautiful assets.
