CAPRICORN: Aug. 7-13

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When I was 19, a thug shot me in the butt with a shotgun at close range. To this day, my body contains the 43 pellets he pumped into me. They’ve caused some minor health problems, and I’m always queasy when I see a gun. But I don’t experience routine suffering from the wound. Its original impact no longer plagues me. What’s your own equivalent of my trauma? A sickness that racked you when you were young? A difficult break-up with your first love? The death of someone you cared about? Whatever it was, you have the power to reach a new level of freedom from old pain.
