The world breaks everyone, and afterword, some are strong at the broken places. ~ Ernest Hemingway.

It’s easy for me to feel defeated, if I don’t harden my mind against it, I can feel it everyday. It’s much harder to see the triumphs hidden deep in all of my seeming failures, those tiny steps towards who it is that I want to be. Join us next Friday We will be showing out collaborative works for the first time in two years. So much has changed, but we feel most fortunate to have had this bond to help us through the fog of the last few years. This show will consist of work made in isolation, work that was often our only form of intimate communication when everything felt like it was falling apart and new pieces made as we just start to push our snouts up out of the mud. We would love to see you there.

You are an engine. You power towards your purpose with all deliberate speed and focus. You are not ambitious (although, that’s what people call you) you are instead bound. Ambition is a word used by others to define trajectory, so able you are to stand above the maze that you are already at its conclusion. For you to wanting something, is the same thing as already having it.
A being of mechanical muscle you are set in your ways. Some people would call it being stubborn, other people would call it being steadfast, but the real word for it is…. Loyal.
Loyal to your cause.
Loyal to your friends.
Loyal to what you hold true.
Your unwavering belief is the fire that powers you.
But like with all fires, it can also consume you and reduce you to ash and ember.
Tend to your fire, don’t let it tend to you.
It is not only the internal combustion that drives you, but it is a light that inspires others.

You are an Aries.

Part of our ongoing astrology series, this piece and others are available for purchase on our website www.themanape.com and as always, we love you.

You are unencumbered by the idea that your life is a set path, it is like the air: a thing of constant motion and possibility.
You don’t live in the past and you are thinking far beyond the present.…’The Future’ is your home.
But, ‘The Future’ can be a lonely place. As you move ever onward towards tomorrow, you risk leaving others behind in the wake of your ambition. Be careful though, because living for tomorrow often can leave you disillusioned by the present and you will falter and fall and it will be people that will be there to help you up.
It is important for you to know that this is not you relinquishing your freedom. This is not a loss your pace and plans, but rather an articulation of what you’ve always believed:
That tomorrow can and will be a better place.
You must be like air. Air does not break. Air finds a way. Air filters and fibers all the lives it touches and so do you.

You are an Aquarius

And we’re a Scorpio and a Cancer so it’s not surprising that we were too busy obsessing over ourselves and forgot to include you back in January.
