frustratedpilotSagittarius Horoscope for week of January 27, 2011
"The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in such a way that will allow a solution," said philosopher Bertrand Russell. In other words, the words you use to describe your dilemma are crucial. If you're lazy or pessimistic about framing your big question, you minimize your chances for finding a useful answer. If you're precise and creative, you're more likely to attract the information and inspiration you need. This is always true, of course, but especially so for you right now.
But where does precision end and pedantry begin? "I'll take ten horsepower any way I can get it!"--Lazarus Long
