Frank Zappa: The Last Degree of Everything
There is a point at the very end of Sagittarius, the final degree, the twenty-ninth, where the archer has shot every arrow he had and still refuses to put down the bow. Frank Zappa was born at that exact degree, on the winter solstice of 1940,... (...)John Lennon: The Libra Who Fought a War for Peace
Libra is the sign of the scales, and the scales are the only symbol in the zodiac that is not a living creature. That is the first clue to the sign. (...)Émile Zola: The Aries Who Made a Pen into a Weapon
Aries is the first sign, the cardinal fire that opens the zodiac the way a fist opens a door. It is the sign of the will, the fighter, the one who goes first and asks permission never. Where the other eleven signs weigh, harmonize, reflect, or... (...)Mars in the 12th House: The Fire That Burns Underwater
There is a particular kind of person who fights hardest when no one is watching. Who trains in the dark, plans in silence, acts with a ferocity that seems to come from nowhere because it was never visible from the outside. This is the signature of... (...)Marie Curie: Scorpio, Radium, and the Element That Killed Her
In a library in Paris, her notebooks sit inside boxes lined with lead. To read them you sign a waiver and put on protective clothing, because more than ninety years after her death, Marie Curie's laboratory books are still radioactive and will go on... (...)The Composite 8th House: What a Couple Buries, Shares, and Transforms
Ask a couple why they are still together and they will tell you about love, which is sweet and mostly beside the point.

Sagittarius is the archer, and the whole meaning of the sign is contained in that image of an arrow drawn back and aimed at the far horizon. It is the last of the fire signs and the most restless, ruled by Jupiter, the planet of faith, expansion,... (...)The Descendant in Synastry: Meeting the Self You Outsourced
Write down the three qualities you find most irresistible in other people. The confidence you never managed, the ease you never learned, the directness that makes you a little weak at the knees.

Around your twenty ninth birthday, give or take, there is a knock at a door you have been carefully pretending not to hear. You can decline to answer. (...)Neptune in Aries: When the Dream Learns to Fight
Neptune is the one planet that never wanted to fight. It is the ocean, the dream, the dissolving of every border into one shimmering whole, the part of us that would rather merge than win and suspects, quietly, that winning was always an illusion... (...)
