One of my favorite characters in all of history is Rasputin. In fact, it was a name that an old friend of mine tagged me with back in the nineties (in a loving way of course). I was always fascinated by his inability to play by the rules and grab hold of a nation’s imagination with a mesmeric quality. In death, his supernatural reputation grew even larger. Had Rasputin been all that, he would have seen the fall of The Czars with graphic clarity and kept Peter home with his troops to fend off The Bolsheviks. But he didn’t and we know the tragic end of that story. In reality, he was a really lousy person and an even worse prophet. During this full moon phase there is something very Rasputin-like about you. Not only can you win friends and influence people, you could take over a whole city given the right technology. But, are you prepared to be responsibile for your thoughts and actions? Can you see deeply enough into your own future to create it at the highest and best levels for all involved? If not, remember that without Rasputin there would have likely not been communism and the cold war as a result. Feel the power, but use it very, very wisely.
