horoscopically speaking...

for the past eight or nine years, i've bought a small page-a-day horoscope calendar for my astrological sign. i consult it daily, as though it might be some kind of oracle. occasionally, its messages are so freakishly, alarmingly spot-on that it feels otherworldly. other times, it's completely meh.

nonetheless, i liked today's horoscope, which was this:

Be proactive. Provided that you take the initiative (instead of sitting there politely waiting for them to find you), doors should start swinging open and things should start to happen.

now, i realize that the above could apply to anyone at any time in his or her life, and is the kind of malleable, all-purpose message that fits just about everybody at some point. but i'm trying to be proactive. i'm trying to take initiative.

and i'm really ready for some new doors to start opening, and for some partially opened doors to finally stay open.
