Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21): You seldom waste time with trivial things or superficial academics. You would rather spend a quiet evening at home eating cheesecake, drinking Mogan David, and reading your vita over out loud. Do not dwell on the past or the present! The crises of our fast-paced world of higher and lower education will eventually drive you out into public life as a crossing guard, where you will become known for your Buddhist approach to traffic safety. Some former colleagues will scoff at this humble change of life and say things about mid-life misdirection. Put your hands over your ears when they say these things for they know very little about the gross national product and the exchange rate for PhDs as we near the 21st century. Think synchronicity and true purpose--believe in flour and water!
