SUGAR ASTROLOGY

Quantum Entanglement: A Zodiac Synastry

​

Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon of a group of particles being generated, interacting, or sharing spatial proximity in such a way that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance.

​

In astrology, every sun sign has its opposing sign. These opposing signs might reveal inherent compatibilities, paradoxically, between two signs wholly different from each other. This could explain a lover-ship available to two contraindicated planets. We do not recognize our opposite only for the purposes of romance or domesticity. We might challenge our opposite to find us, wherever and whenever. If I present soft, will you show me strength? If you are direct, may I wrap around you circuitously? If you need a comrade, might our skill set command what we need for success?

 

You’ll find your birthday opposite in the sign of your half birthday: Aries/Libra, Taurus/Scorpio, Gemini/Sagittarius, Cancer/Capricorn, Leo/Aquarius, Virgo/ Pisces. The Zodiac below confesses a message from your other side.

​

ARIES

March 21 to April 19

Libra lures as Stendhal. Do not worry if the syndrome causes loss of consciousness. Beauty is worth tachycardia and diaphoresis. This is not a fight. This is art.

TAURUS

April 20 to May 20

Scorpio comes as Everest, gritty point, and sharp end—rope-wrapt. All the way up to the top, you’ll ask. For what? The ground down below is safer. This is not about safety.

GEMINI

May 21 to June 21

Sagittarius emerges like plot points: hook, pinch, resolution. Does your protagonist need help moving A to B? Swapping distraction’s bee-buzz and belly swim for arrow-rhymed bullseye.


CANCER

June 22 to July 22

Capricorn paints clay and mineral into rivulets of black, gray, and red. This is a river invitation—maybe pigment premonition. Earth ochre mixed with oil and water, the only way along.


LEO

July 23 to August 22

Aquarius gathers through osmosis. Acquires data by fell-swooping. Air presents as the medium—invisible acquisition knowable only through breath. All mechanisms learn how to in and out.

 
VIRGO

August 23 to September 23

Pisces threads through a vintage projector, showing you the wild images of other minds. These offer you rest from internal screens. Let your subterranean figments lie.

LIBRA

September 24 to October 22

Aries asks you to trust instinct and intuition. Where is your center of gravity? Listen for a different kind of language that rolls up through the viscera, verbs replacing nouns. Learn how to speak from here.​


SCORPIO

October 23 to November 21

Taurus prepares a place to thaw. You, icemaker with a bag of ice flung up on the shoulder. You’ve carried frozen water for too long. Deicing readies the skin for melding.

​
SAGITTARIUS

November 22 to December 21

Gemini affectionately invites you to play. Ahead there will be long horizon-arcs, jungle gyms, and summer nostalgia. Reminiscences dot the grassy field.


CAPRICORN

December 22 to January 19​

Cancer delivers one day in history. Moon-landing when footprints made circular impressions. Opaque brail walks you through firsts. Where will you land and how will you handle that much space?


AQUARIUS

January 20 to February 18

Leo rises as a point of light, dandelion up through green. Why do you fear color? Yellow itself, the pattern of your future. Mimed sunlight. Expressions essential breath.

​
PISCES

February 19 to March 20

Virgo presents scaffolding upon the water. Potential bridge where you may walk upon wave-motion to the other side, safely. Solidity as boon, steadying the intricacies.
