In new age theory, the element of air is the oxygenating force, which intellectualizes, expands, lyricizes, and communicates. From this state we emerge and to it we eventually return.

The good news is you are ready to introduce your style-y style.

SCORPIO
This is just a friendly reminder, scorp, which lets you know that you aren't required to engage or feed any sources which you feel are no longer worthy of your time and energy.

If you aren't feeling it, breeze on by baby-cake.

You'll soon discover the worth of this process as certain long standing dreams begin to manifest within a circle of helpful hands.

PISCES
The Indians of northeast america tell a legend of a woman who fell from the sky and gave birth to twins. The indians of the southwest tell a similar story of twins born to a virgin mother. The point is, pisces, throughout history there is the concept of poles, opposites, good v evil and light v dark. However, you double fish know better than to classify and stratify. It all comes from the same wild sea, and no side is more predictable than the other. The best you can do is stay in the moment, which reduces shock, and trust the natural course of things.
