Women Who Run With The Wolves
By: Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D
A healthy woman is much like a wolf- robust, inventive, loyal, fierce. Yet separation from her wildish nature causes a woman to become meager, ghostly, anxious about leaping, fearful to create new life. ◊ With the wild nature as ally and teacher, we see not through two eyes only, but through the many eyes of intuition. With intuition we are like the starry night, we gaze at the world through a thousand eyes. ◊ The archetype of the Wild Woman carries los bultos, all the bundles for healing and meaning. She carries all the medicines of stories, words, and songs, all the mending tools of dances signs and symbols. She is both vehicle and destination. She is the essence of the female soul. ◊ No matter how many times she is cut back, called unsafe, dangerous, useless, or mad, she rises through the psyche regardless. Even La sombre, the most restrained woman, keeps a secret place for the wild nature. Even La cautiva, the most captured woman, is waiting for an opportunity to hightail it to freedom. ◊ All women are born gifted. To live close to the instinctual nature does not mean to become undone. It means to establish one’s creative territory, find one’s pack, be in one’s body with certainty and pride. It means to act in one’s behalf, to find what one belongs to. It means to rise with dignity, to proceed as a powerful being who is friendly but never tame. ◊ The Wild Woman is the one who thunders in the face of injustice. She is the one who keeps a woman going when she thinks she’s done for. The Wild Woman is fluent in the languages of dreams, images, passion and poetry. No act of love or social justice occurs without her. She lives in women everywhere; in the barrios and in the boardroom, in the prison and on the mountain at the fire, in the penthouse suite and on the night bus to Brownsville. She is mother of El duende, the goblin wind of creativity. She leaves footprints behind for us to try on for size. ◊ Whether you are possessed of a simple heart of the ambitions of an Amazon, whether you are trying to make it to the top or just make it through tomorrow, whether you be spice or somber, regal or roughshod- the wild nature belongs to you. She truly belongs to all. The issue is simple. Without us Wild Woman dies. Without W ild Woman we die. Para vida, for true life, both must live.

June 22 - July 22
Symbol: The Crab
Color: Silver
Planet: Moon
Good Day: Sensitive, caring, loyal
Bad Day: Moody, gossipy, cheap
Favorite Things: Books, family, the past, comfy sweaters
Best Friends: Pisces, Virgo
Cancers are healers, nurturing, loyal, supportive and very sensitive to the emotional needs of others. They have powerful emotional attachments and are sympathetic. They need to be needed and care for other people and pets. Cancers are ruled by the ever-changing Moon, which is why they feel so different from one day to the next. A Cancer's intuition is very strong and dreams intense especially around the full moon. When they get moody they need comforted or just left alone. Like a crab, they can cling -or pinch- when feel threatened, ouch! To make life easier they surround themselves with comfort: a cozy blanket, favorite book, trusted pals and plenty of chocolate. They are also blessed with excellent memory and love to reminisce. They love historical objects so the past they can't resist.

The Year of the Snake ~ 1977
The person born in the year of snake is the wisest and most enigmatic of all. Rich in wisdom and charm, you are romantic and deep thinking and your intuition guides you strongly. Avoid procrastination and your stingy attitude towards money. Keep your sense of humor about life. The snake person can become a philosopher, a theologian, a political lizard or a wily financier. Such person is a thinker who also likes to live well. The snake person loves books, music, clothes, and fine food; but with all his fondness for the good things of life, his innate elegance gives him a dislike for frivolities and foolish talk.
Positive: The Snake can be amiable, compromising, fun loving, altruistic, honorable, sympathetic, philosophical, charitable, a paragon of fashion, intuitive, discreet, diplomatic, amusing and sexy.
Negative: The Snake can also be self-righteous, imperious, judgmental, conniving, mendacious, grabby, clinging, pessimistic, fickle, haughty, ostentatious and a very sore loser.

"A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt


I'd like to meet:


Love is blind, but friendship is clairvoyant.

Really cool liberal minded people! Artists! Nice happy smiley people! Cat lovers! People who'll share their cookies. Someone who gets my dry sense of humor and thinks I have the coolest sneeze ever. Sticker collectors. Fireworks watchers. Wishers, dreamers and hopers. If you happen to be a single male who likes to hold hands and is willing to go antiquing with me, then that's just an added bonus.

I have a few MySpace pet peeves. Hard to believe, I know. First one is people who can't take the time to write with proper grammar. It really gets on my nerves. Second one is about men who want to be my friend, men who only have scantily clad women as their friends. I am not an object to be added to your collection, take the time to write me and get to know me. Mind-fuckery is strictly prohibited. Think on these things before you ask to be my friend.

"The practice of art isn't to make a living. It's to make your soul grow." --Kurt Vonnegut

“Love is tricky. It is never mundane or daily. You can never get used to it. You have to walk with it, then let it walk with you. You can never balk. It moves you like the tide. It takes you out to sea, then lays you on the beach again. Today’s struggling pain is the foundation for a certain stride through the heavens. You can run from it but you can never say no. It includes everyone.”
- Amy Tan,
The Hundred Secret Senses


Heroes:

Kate Winslett
Ellen DeGeneres
All the strong women out there who don't conform to society and live their lives proudly.

Your friends are the family that you create.

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson


And above all, watch with glittering eyes the world around you. Because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who do not believe in magic will never find it.
-Roald Dahl
