Horoscope 6/14/26: Pisces

Tonight you will take a bath for the first time since you were six years old. You will take it because you are angry, and because burbling resentfully under the water is better than bleeding gallons into it.

You will sink in and you will struggle to fit. You will stare at the ceiling, brows furrowed like a circus mermaid in a too-small tank, and you will understand what happened to baths, where they all went. When you were little enough that the bathtub was a whole seven seas and all that caught your eye was the colorful toys and your mama's pajamas, you didn't see anything else; not the streaks of mildew, not the moldy curtains, not the orange fuzz on the wall, not even

your extravagant waste,

more water than some people drink in a lifetime,

pulling

your

skin

cells

down

the

drain.
