ARIES (March 21-April 19): “I not solely bow to the inevitable,” wrote Aries creator Thornton Wilder. “I’m fortified by it.” Wow. That was a brazen declaration. Did he sincerely imply it? He declared that he grew stronger by means of give up, that he derived vitality by willingly giving in to the epic developments of his future. I don’t assume that’s all the time true for everybody. However I believe it is going to be a helpful perspective for you within the coming weeks, Aries.
