frustratedpilotSagittarius Horoscope for week of July 3, 2008
Beginning in 1951, the U.S. government regularly set off nuclear bombs in the desert 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas. Most of the 1,021 explosions occurred underground, though for 11 years some were also done in the open air. Tourists used to flock to Las Vegas to watch the mushroom clouds, which were visible from that distance. As far as we know, the detonations ceased in 1992. Also as far as we know, the unusual lifestyles of Las Vegas's inhabitants are not the result of mutations in their DNA caused by radioactive contamination. Let's use this scenario as a departure point for your own personal inventory, Sagittarius. What dangerous or tempestuous events from your life are now safely confined to the past? Are there any lingering consequences from them? If so, what might you do to heal?
Too often in my life I was treated like somebody else's fireworks detonator...them pushing my buttons for their hope of an entertaining blast of anger or emo or madness. Looking back I still hate that to a very great degree. What's worse, the conscious effort I made to insulate myself from that kind of human behavior has only helped on a limited number of levels. I can handle myself, but I don't know whether it's because of growth or burnout...and whether I am still weak enough for someone else's abuse to lead to a chain reaction. Maybe I can go the rest of my life without a clear answer to this issue...but for the sake of my future, there is a part of me that wants to look in the silos and count the warheads that are still there. And if so, have enough of them permanently dismantled to ease my mind.
