Tumblr (3.0; @brixton)http://brixton.tumblr.com/“CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In his book *The Way of Transition,* William Bridges defines the “neutral zone” as “that in-between time, after you’ve let go of your old life and before you have fully discovered and incorporated your new life.” Sound familiar? Maybe the neutral zone where you’re currently simmering isn’t as dramatic as that — maybe you haven’t been stripped of every single certainty and you’re not wandering in limbo. But I suspect you have at least let go of one aspect of your old familiar rhythm and have yet to ease into the one that’ll be familiar in the<br/> future. My advice? Don’t rush it. Get all you can out of this unique and educational time in the neutral zone.”<br/><br/> - <em>Rob Brezsny’s Astrology Newsletter, December 9, 2009</em>http://brixton.tumblr.com/post/276096315http://brixton.tumblr.com/post/276096315Wed, 09 Dec 2009 08:32:43 -0500“<p>Rob Brezsny’s Astrology Newsletter</p> <p>November 18, 2009</p> <p>CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “There is a saying that when the student is ready, the teacher appears,” writes Clarissa Pinkola Estes in her book *Women Who Run with the Wolves.* But the magic of that formula may not unfold with smooth simplicity, she says: “The teacher comes when the soul, not the ego, is ready. The teacher comes when the soul calls, and thank goodness — for the ego is never fully ready.” I’d love it if the information I just provided encouraged you to feel right at home with the jarring yet nurturing lessons that are on the way.</p>”http://brixton.tumblr.com/post/249045240http://brixton.tumblr.com/post/249045240Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:34:23 -0500<img src="http://17.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kpfqoeU2S11qzpe8uo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://spazzy.tumblr.com/post/244439965/nataliesnotebook">spazzy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://nataliesnotebook.tumblr.com/post/243990781/maryruffle-quote-book-kari-shma-via-xdesx">nataliesnotebook</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://maryruffle.tumblr.com/post/243972042/quote-book-kari-shma-via-xdesx">maryruffle</a>:<a href="http://quote-book.tumblr.com/post/232114786/kari-shma-via-xdesx-ha-but-i-dont-theres">quote-book</a>:<a href="http://kari-shma.tumblr.com/post/231059399/via-xdesx-ha-but-i-dont-theres-really-no">kari-shma</a>:(via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/xdesx">xdesx</a>)</p> <blockquote></blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>http://brixton.tumblr.com/post/246513112http://brixton.tumblr.com/post/246513112Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:54:27 -0500<img src="http://11.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ks7hfwZDSx1qzf9gso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Happy (almost) Halloween!</p> <p><a href="http://spazzy.tumblr.com/post/226505118/samdesantis-via-krystalvixen">spazzy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://samdesantis.tumblr.com/post/225607514/via-krystalvixen">samdesantis</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(via <a href="http://krystalvixen.tumblr.com/">krystalvixen</a>)</p> </blockquote> </blockquote>http://brixton.tumblr.com/post/226882224http://brixton.tumblr.com/post/226882224Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:28:05 -0400<img src="http://9.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kr216vWiFW1qz867mo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Since Shane recently learned from Ancestry.com that his last name has more to do with bears than beers, perhaps the gentleman in the straw hat is one of his ancestors?</p> <p><a href="http://disorganization.tumblr.com/post/205227573/the-caption-for-this-image-is-white-people-with">disorganization</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>the caption for this image is: <a href="http://www.old-picture.com/american-adventure/Bear-Cub.htm">“white people with pet bear cub”</a></p> </blockquote>http://brixton.tumblr.com/post/217110693http://brixton.tumblr.com/post/217110693Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:21:37 -0400<img src="http://7.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kr0h3vRNuL1qz867mo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://disorganization.tumblr.com/post/204535704/for-all-my-lovers-out-there-source-unknown">disorganization</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>for all my lovers out there</p> <p><i>source unknown</i></p> </blockquote>http://brixton.tumblr.com/post/204586864http://brixton.tumblr.com/post/204586864Sun, 04 Oct 2009 19:45:46 -0400<img src="http://7.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kqrls0BGiF1qa2fy3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is my new favorite thing on the internet.
