► 6 April 2014 : Your softer side is out in the open today, and you should find that your people are making life easier on you as a result. It's a great time to push for deeper relationships or just to hang out with family. You may feel somewhat dissociated today, as if you're watching yourself from a distance. This discontinuity between mind and body can be disconcerting, but it can also be a fascinating exercise if you attempt to see yourself from an objective view. You are feeling fragile, though, and the least show of opposition -- particularly if it comes from someone you don't much like -- could elicit an emotional response that is wildly out of proportion.

Give them what they need and honor what you've got together.With so many positive signs coming your way, you may be a bit impatient with those who try to waste your time with their tales of woe. Even if their problems seem a little silly or neurotic, show some compassion and understanding. You never know when you might need a supportive shoulder in return. For now, the ground under your feet is solid and your steps are sure.

► NEWS & POLITICS : Peter Matthiessen Reflects on a Life in Words. Dec. 31, 2008 -- Peter Matthiessen, a 2008 National Book Award winner, is best known as both a novelist and non-fiction writer, but he's also an environmental activist and American Indian rights advocate. Jeffrey Brown talks to the award-winning author of "Shadow Country." Uploaded on Nov 12, 2010 by PBS NewsHour
► NEWS &POLITICS : Author Peter Matthiessen Died Age 86. American novelist Peter Matthiessen, whose notable works include At Play in the Fields of the Lord, has died at the age of 86 following leukaemia. The New York-born writer was also a committed environmentalist and adventurer, who wrote about his travels in the wilderness. Among his other books were The Snow Leopard and Shadow Country. His latest novel, In Paradise, is due to be published on Tuesday.
Matthiessen's publisher said the author had been diagnosed with leukaemia and had been ill "for some months" prior to his death at a New York hospital. After graduating from Yale University, he travelled to France and co-founded literary journal The Paris Review, with fellow author George Plimpton. Although the publication was a success - it is still running today - Matthiessen yearned for the US and returned home, mixing with the likes of artists Jackson Pollock and Wilem de Kooning.
In the 1960s, he shunned his wealthy upbringing to embrace Buddhist teachings, becoming a Zen priest, and during the same decade began gaining acclaim for his writing. At Play in the Fields of the Lord, published in 1961, told of missionaries and mercenaries working in Brazil. The novel was turned into a film in 1991 - starring John Lithgow and Darryl Hannah - after the late producer Saul Zaentz spent more than 25 years trying to buy the rights.
Matthiessen travelled to Antarctica, the Himalayas and Australia to write about the environment and the wilderness, as well as exploring wildlife in America. The Snow Leopard - which won the National Book Award for non-fiction in 1980 - retold his two-month Himalayan trip to search for the elusive snow leopard. In 2008, he published Shadow Country - which brought together his "Watson trilogy", which he began in the 1980s, into one re-edited story. It went on to win the National Book prize.
Matthiessen was married three times, and had four children. Published on Apr 6, 2014 by MagnificentNewsNetwork
