HOROSCOPES
Because the stars
know things we don't.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 8 — Things will be easier for a couple of days before they get trickier again. Enjoy what you have right now, especially your friends.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8 — Dive into an extremely productive Monday. Focus on the task at hand, and hide from distractions. You'll be amazed at how much you can get accomplished.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Today is a 6 — Go for it: Step out of your comfort zone. One thing that you try doesn't work, but something else does. More work equals more pay. Quiet meditation lifts spirits.
Cancer (June 21- July 22) — Today is an 8 — Take a deep breath, and let your partner do the talking. The best things in life are still free. Financial planning seems easier. Friends give you a needed boost.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7 — Costs could be higher than expected. Someone you trust helps you see a financial leak so you can plug it. It will require negotiations and compromise. It turns out to be easy.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 9 — What you do for others now counts double. Focus on doing a great job and completing projects today and tomorrow. But don't rush your decisions. Listen carefully.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 9 — Don't let others dampen your creativity and enthusiasm. Make key decisions so you can start the project. Don't get stopped by regulations. You're bigger than that. Pay bills.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — Moods fluctuate. A shift stroll around your neighborhood or park helps recharge your batteries. Throw your hat over the fence that you know you want to jump.
**Scorpio** (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — You're gaining confidence. Spur others in the right direction, gently. Sand the rough edges. Do the research to set the right price. Don't overlook domestic chores.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 9 — You're entering a mentally active cycle. Imagination takes over, especially about creating new ways to make money. A window may be closing, but a brighter one opens. Keep a lid on the spending.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6 — Notice what's blocking your path. Clear the way or just jump over it with ease, and gain accolades. Great wealth can be yours. Accept encouragement.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8 — Postpone fun and games for now, and focus on keeping your promises. It doesn't mean that you can't enjoy the process. Others admire your work. Don't buy gifts yet.

The Master, starring Joaquín Phonexe and Philip Seymour Hoffman, tells about the start of a new religion, which resembles scientiology. The movie was released in the middle of September, and is now playing in select theaters.
The Master' latest in long line of films exploring the power of cults
LANDON MCDONALD imcdonald@kansan.com
"We don't commit murder up here," says Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee) in "The Wicker Man," shortly before setting fire to a giant wooden effigy containing a still-strugging human sacrifice. "We're a deeply religious people."
What is it about a cult that fuels the darker engines of our imagination? From Jonestown to the Manson Family, the public has to regard the subject with a morbid blend of fascination and fear, an emotional divergence most conveniently filtered through our fiction. Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master," starring Philip Seymour Hoffman as the enigmatic leader of a Scientology-esque movement and Joaquin Phoenix as his slavishly devoted acolyte, is the most recent film to ponder what singular force of will could command the unquestioning spiritual submission of its followers.
The modern cult thriller began in 1968, when director Roman Polanski delivered "Rosemary's Baby" and changed the genre forever. In the film, newly pregnant Rosemary (Mia Farrow) becomes
Another highly influential film is the aforementioned "Wicker Man," not to be confused with the stupefying remake featuring Nicolas Cage in a bear suit. Robin Hardy's original remains a chilling reminder that all religions are considered cults until, to paraphrase Frank Zappa, they buy enough real estate.
convinced that her apartment building's elderly tenants are actually members of a satanic cult bent on stealing her unborn child to use in their rituals. Stripped of its supernatural trappings, Polanski's movie becomes a hallucinogenic meditation on motherhood, sexual dysfunction and the stifling effects of urban isolation.
The plot involves a devout Christian policeman (Edward Woodward) searching for a missing girl on a remote Scottish island where pagan worship is still the norm. The great Christopher Lee, sporting Bob Dylan's hairdo and a yellow turtleneck, turns in an absolutely mesmeric, careerbest performance as Summerisle, the island's sinister pariarch.
outright cultism. In 2011, audiences saw the arrival of "Higher Ground," actress-director Vera Farmiga deeply personal account of a woman's struggle to reconcile her beliefs with the doomsday preaching of her husband's New Testament compound.
The last few years have seen an uptick in films exploring religious movements that flirt with
Elizabeth Olsen earned raves for her performance as a psychologically scarred ex-believer in the well-acted but dramatically muzzled "Martha Marcy May Marlene," while last summer gave us the supremely unsettling "Sound of My Voice," the story of two journalists who infiltrate a basement cult run by a messianic woman (Brit Marling) who claims to be from the year 2054.
So what's fueling cinema's renewed enthrallment with cults? Maybe it's the fervor of election season. Some of the conventioners in Tampa, Fla. and Charlotte, N.C., seemed ready to break out the matching robes and tinfoil. Or perhaps it's simply our natural tendency to seek higher meaning in the face of hard times. Either way, there will always be Masters to follow.
