Virgo Horoscope for week of August 22, 2013
Novelist James Joyce once articulated an extreme wish that other writers have probably felt but never actually said. "The demand that I make of my reader," said Joyce, "is that he should devote his whole life to reading my works." Was he being mischievous? Maybe. But he never apologized or issued a retraction. Your assignment, Virgo, is to conjure up your own version of that wild desire: a clear statement of exactly what you really, really want in all of its extravagant glory. I think it'll be healthy for you to identify this pure and naked longing. (P.S. I'm not implying that you should immediately try to get it fulfilled, though. For now, the important thing is knowing what it is.)
Maybe it is time for all of us to ask what we want, live our lives fully and honorable and prepare ourselves for the bestowals of the universe.

James Joyce was a regular on our bookshelf at home... one of my mom's favorite author. Ulysses was my fave, but mother would often read a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. I strongly recommend other readers to at least pick up a book in time and check out James Joyce-- classic.
Knowing what we really want is the beginning of living.
