As some of you know, I am an avid fan of Rob Brezsny's form of astrology http://www.freewillastrology.com/
I've been following Rob's weekly astrology column for probably some twenty years by now. Every week, those few lines of astrological wisdom that he offers me as a Capricorn impact my life and consciousness in some way. From my perspective, I think Rob is pretty much at the top of my list of "Wildly Wise" people that I know (although I don't know him personally).
This concept of being "Wildly Wise" was not even my horoscope this week! It was the horoscope of a Gemini friend of mine but I was so taken by this idea of being Wildly Wise that it has got me redefining what "Wise" really means to me. Previously I think my "Wise Side" and my "Wild Side" felt somewhat at odds. Unfortunately, in my pursuit of wisdom, it was my Wild Side that got squashed.
The final line in Gemini's horoscope for this week was "Study the wisest wildest people you know so that you too can be wildly wise." That line really got me thinking about some of the wisest wildest people I know and I realized that I do personally know a few people who fit that description. Previously I might have thought of these particular people as unpredictable, maybe even unreliable -- especially since I don't do, or handle, unpredictability or even spontaneity very well!! However, thanks to Rob's magic horoscopes, I now see and understand the beautiful balance and freedom that comes from being "Wildly Wise". In thinking about the "Wildly Wise" people in my life, I do know that they are the most Creatively Adventurous Beings that I know. And their form of wisdom is incredibly unique and exciting. So I am convinced. Wise and Wild belong together. Absolutely.
What do you think? I'd love to hear your reflections on this one.
In ending, I will allow my Devil Woman Friend to come out and inspire us.
By the way, if you are into Tarot cards, the Voyager Deck has a beautiful Devil card -- it appears to be all about letting loose and celebrating. So maybe it is good to let the devil in us come out and play!
PS If you have been hearing the rumours that our astrological signs are "all wrong", check out Rob's website for the truth about that misinformation.
