Huh.

Usually I just browse through Rob Brezsny's Astrology Newsletter, but this one stopped me:

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I've got three related questions for you,
Cancerian. 1. Are there any roles you play in which your selfish and
unselfish tendencies overlap? 2. What situations allow you to be most
completely yourself as you provide a fine service to others? 3. Which of
your skills generate the most blessings and gifts? The next 12 months will
be a favorable time for you to identify these roles, situations, and skills,
and cultivate them to the max. You'll have prime opportunities to express
your special genius while doing good deeds.



Hm.
Good questions for me to think about going into the holidays.

Re: #1: In the one philosophy class I took in college, I read an essay that stated that the desire to make others happy was an "unselfish selfishness." I'm not sure, but I think that may have been in the one about utilitarian ethics, which posited the Golden Rule as logical for practical reasons rather than religious ones. (It's been WAY to long for me to cite titles or authors, and you probably know this stuff better than I do anyway.)
