Prescriptions

The Age of Aquarius has given way to the Era of SSRI's. Just as you accessorize your wardrobe, you can accessorize your inner life. Suffering is so unfashionable, yes? Anxiety, depression, poor concentration -- just minor style problems, a prescription away from a Whole New You. Oh, and forget willpower; got an itch for a Gauloise? Zyban. Urge for a Crème Brûlée? Phentermine. Over, around, or below-the-counter, gazing at your navel or howling at the moon, there's a rainbow of pharmacological flavors to help you make the most of any mood.

Meaning: Night, insight, excitement, the demi-monde.

Reversed: Confusion, forgetfulness, missed appointments.
