You are open to receiving all that is for your highest and greatest good, you are about to benefi t monetarily from some invest- ments you made a long time ago. Taurus: April 20 to May 20- "I Have" Considering this is your birthday month; you will be the lucky recipient of many happy surprises. You will en- joy some unexpected short trips in re- lationship to your work as well as lots of quality family time. You will also be spending more time than usual with a small child enjoying your birthday sur- prise celebration. Gemini: May 21 to June 20- "I Think" This month your feelings may seem out of control with memories of past lives and past loves coming up to the surface to be reviewed.

And frankly, I'm worried -- worried about how much I like it here. It's kind of a scary feeling because I'm nowhere near ready to stop traveling and settle down. But when I do, Arcata will be very high on my list. In the end, you can have all the beautiful scenery in the world - - panoramic ocean views and snow- capped mountains like I had in Port An- geles, Washington this summer -- but in the end, it's the people who matter. And the people in Arcata are kind and active and intelligent and interested in the en- vironment and into the arts and seem to have a lot of integrity. It's defi nitely my kind of place. It's going on my list of "Places" soon. So this brings me to the title of this story "Why I Don't Make Plans." I'm not ready to leave Arcata, and I have to leave tomorrow because I committed to a presentation at the Peace Pilgrim Center in Somerset on Thursday morn- ing. But just today I saw a notice that there's going to be an organic, vegan meal served in the Quad tomorrow, and the next day the Women in Black will be standing in silent protest against war, and the next day there's a talk on China and Tibet and the next day there's an- other free concert. I want to do ALL that and more. Every day, there's something new to learn, wonder about, and partici- pate in. So, so wonderful!
