Lizzy Burnam 🐞

ARIES
What do diamonds and daffodils 
have in common? 
They’re both born with a little dirt on ‘em. 
When the light blinds you today,
have no fear—and bloom. 

TAURUS
The bad news is, yes, the weeds 
have strangled out the rest of your garden. 
The good news is 
you can mix the purple dead nettle 
with burdock, honey, and dandelion root
for a natural detoxing tea. 

GEMINI 
In Dutch, the word “angel” means “sting.”
In Polish, “fart” means “lucky.”
And in German, “gift” means “poison.” 
If you get stung by a bee today, 
rejoice. You are mistaken for a marigold. 

CANCER 
Prepare for takeoff, Amelia Earhart. 
Today, every freckle on your body will burst
and release hot springs of inspiration.  
Consider opening your island for trade. 

LEO
Even the sun needs to take a backseat
from time to time. Relax, Leo.
Tomorrow, a behemoth of love 
will breathe fire through your door
and carry you on its back to the ocean.

VIRGO
You might find a factory knot in your yarn. 
Just cut it out and stitch the thread back in
as if you were adding a new skein. 
Today, you are safe from anything unraveling. 

LIBRA 
Conflict is the spice of life, you know. 
You do a disservice to the world 
when you try to blend in. 
You’ll meet your next best friend 
wrapped in foil at the hair salon. 

SCORPIO
If you meet the Buddha, kill him. 

SAGITTARIUS
To fully enjoy the art, you have to look at it 
from both up close and far away. 
Someone you love will misconstrue your words today. 
Put your hands on their shoulders 
and gently push them into the right vantage point.

CAPRICORN
Do you smell that, Cap? 
That’s the smell of a home-cooked tostada bar
and margs with fresh lime and tajín on the rim. 
Invite everyone. You are sure to win 
at least one round of Bananagrams. 

AQUARIUS
Analysts reduce the moon to a satellite. 
Artists elevate it to a world of its own. 
Why not stay in, order takeout,
and watch Fantastic Planet again? 

PISCES
Some stones just look brighter underwater. 
If you feel displaced today, it’s because you are. 
That’s okay, friend. 
You’ll find a message in a bottle:
My god, even the bottom of the ocean 
is still so full of stars.
