March - Question Month

Every March, people have an "ask me a question and I'll answer" meme. This year, I'll be doing the same. So, ask away. Your questions are screened for your privacy, in case you don't want to reveal your identity to just anybody. I'll still know unless you do it anonymously, of course.

Brezsny says: Raw Candor

This month, Brezsny tells the Gemini:

"When friends stop being frank and useful to each other," wrote literary critic Anatole Broyard, "the whole world loses some of its radiance." Make sure that doesn't happen any time soon, Gemini. In fact, regard this horoscope as a warning beacon that motivates you to action. Intensify your intention to keep your best alliances frank and useful. Infuse a dose of raw candor into any relationship that is in danger of becoming lazy or dishonest.

Raw candor. Okay, I can do that. And for Leo, my moon sign, he says:

According to the automaker Saab, this year's sedan has 2,157 features that are different from last year's, including snake-eye headlamps and a clamshell hood. Your assignment in the coming weeks, Leo, is to be roused by Saab's willingness to depart from tradition. Speaking on behalf of the cosmic powers-that-be, I'm asking you to commit to making 21.6 changes in your life, which is a mere one percent of Saab's total. If that's too much to handle, would you consider making 2.16 changes? A good place to start might be to add your own personal metaphorical version of snake-eye headlamps.

Would that be wraparound shades? I could do that. Gargoyles makes a great bulletproof version.

I'm not sure that's what he means, though.
