Huzzah! Happy birthday, love!

Aquarius Horoscope for week of January 18, 2007

Your whole life passed before your eyes in a flash, and yet you survived. The veil parted and revealed sights too weird and wonderful to consciously register, changing you in ways that won't fully sink in for months. Now you may feel as if you're waking up at 3 p.m. after an all-night binge. You might be so overloaded with uncanny new wisdom that you don't quite know what practical use to make of it all yet. But have no fear: As your birthday approaches, you'll begin to understand the teachings you didn't even know you absorbed.

My life has passed before my eyes many times, and this time of year, I tend to regret. I wonder. I often fear my birthdays past. Will this year come to be the same?

Two birthday boys yesterday. One turned 8. One turned 38. One had a party at a park, with brownies, cookies, organic veggies, and a wading pool. The other had a yard with two dogs, too many pizzas, and Halo 2 with all his friends. I'll let you decide which was which.

Happy birthday to both, and many happy returns.
