CANCER (June 21-July 22): Charles Darwin called Thomas Malthus a "great philosopher," and said his theory of evolution was based on Malthus' ideas. Yet Malthus advocated genocidal measures to control population growth. In "Essay on the Principle of Population," Malthus wrote: "Instead of recommending cleanliness to the poor, we should encourage contrary habits. In our towns we should make the streets narrower, crowd more people into houses, and court the return of the plague. In the country, we should build villages near stagnant pools, and encourage settlement in marshy and unwholesome situations." So the evidence is clear that Darwin's theories had a grotesque pedigree. Should we therefore dismiss them altogether? Not necessarily. What's useful is not always derived from what's good. Is there a comparable situation in your own life, Cancerian? Are there essentials you benefit from even though their origins are problematical? The time is ripe for coming to terms with weirdness like that.

it can only mean one thing, the way i'm buying my horoscopes these days

Yeah, it's Rob B. alright. And what can I say about it here, where all can see... What it must mean is that (said one way) I'm thinking about interpersonal relations of/with intensity, and wondering about signs and fates and what spin I can get out of what some external entity suggests I contemplate. Which can only mean that I'm taking every/any excuse to ponder personalities.

Which, in turn, can only mean one thing. Or can it? Does it? Let me ponder it some more!
