i subscribe to rob brezny's free will astrology newsletters, and unlike other newslettery email i receive (much of which ends up directly in the trash), i read these horoscopes every week.
the latest really resonates with me, for reasons i haven't fully figured out yet:
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your meditation for the week comes from Friedrich Nietzsche. "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe," he wrote. "If you try it, you will often be lonely, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." This is an ideal time for you to put this prescription into action, Pisces, because during the current grace period you have the power to own more of yourself than ever before--and without getting lonely or scared.
i've never read nietzsche. if anyone cares to give me a brief primer in the comments section, feel free.

don't look at me.
I used to rely on one particular astrologer - he was so "on the money" with his horoscopes for K. Read him for years, then last year he went way off base -- nothing he said made sense.
So I googled him.
He had been dead for two years.
i am no nietzsche scholar, and i only have met him briefly in an intro to philosophy class. i think this is as quick an intro to nietzsche that you might find. i do know that he and richard wagner were at a time very close friends.
