laughter is the best medicine

along with solitude

dance and song

but this horoscope made me laugh - I always like to tell people when asked about the mounds of fur walking around the Ashram - "what is that animal?"

"It's a hippopotamus." - wish I could do it deadpan.  But a smile always always erupts across this face...c'est la vie.  I was never meant to be a comedian.  But I was sure born to laugh!

from Brezsny, the cosmic jokester astrologer for Leo types like yours truly:

The nature of your imminent future has certain resemblances to what happened at a Chinese zoo, where a baby tiger named Sai Mai was breast-fed by a mother pig and fully accepted by her piglet "siblings." As your ruling metaphor, we could also use the scenario that unfolded at an animal facility in Kenya, where a young hippopotamus named Owen was adopted by a giant, 120-year-old tortoise. In other words, Leo, you should expect exotic pairings that lead to unprecedented expressions of symbiosis and synergy.
