The Dao of the Bull

"The Sun’s alliance with Pluto on Tuesday will encourage you to attempt something others say cannot be done. That kind of negative attitude is a red flag to the Bull and you’ll go all out to prove them wrong."

 

 An old timer who was a great friend of mine often used the expression "That showed them where the bull jumped over the buckwheat!"

To this day I have no idea what that meant.  Maybe it's just as well.

 

Wolf Tyrannosaurus Rex

"With so many cosmic influences working in your favor there is precious little you can do that will be perceived as wrong. Keep telling yourself that you’re the biggest, the best and the brightest. It’s not far from the truth."

When I was growing up my best girlfriends and I called ourselves "The Wolf Pack". We made dens in the woods, refused to wear skirts, and spent recess in fist-fights with the boys. My pack name was "Wolf Tyrannosaurus Rex."

It's not much different today. Blame it on the Cosmos.

The P.T. Barnum of Ebay

"Today’s new moon will give you the confidence to take a few risks and that makes success more likely. Don’t be secretive about your social and professional ambitions- let everyone know what it is you are hoping to achieve."

I'm hoping to fool some of the people some of the time. If all else fails, I'll just fool myself.

 

Fourth Of July

"It is quite likely that you will go over the top emotionally in some way today. When the Sun changes signs on Sunday you’ll be back to your old self again but between now and then  prepare for some fireworks."

You can say that again. Some lousy **** stole my power drill and my battery charger. If and when I get my hands on them, I'll make Lizzie Bordon proud.



 

Who Bit Me?

"Your sixth sense tells you that someone is lying, but you must keep that knowledge to yourself until such time as you can use it to maximum effect- most likely when the moon is new on the 21^st."

I'm not worried in the slightest. I can see he's lying. And after all, he's the one who's named after a vampire. 

He's worn out from watching Breaking Dawn.

Sense and Sensibility

"Do not make promises that you may not be able to deliver on. If you get carried away and say things that you should not it will rebound on you later in the month and your reputation for common sense could suffer."

 

                              

When I make a promise, I try to keep it. And yes, I get carried away on a regular basis. Do I say things I live to regret? Constantly!  But lose my reputation for common sense? 

Mon Dieu! Anything but that.

Rebel Yell

"Mercury, planet of mind, moves into the area of your chart that governs hopes and wishes this week, so if there is something you desire, now is the time to be open about it. The powers that be are listening."

 I know it's out there. And I know of at least three people who had heart attacks when they came close to finding it. It is said the ghosts of Confederate soldiers guard it, and they can't be persuaded to give it up. 

But listen up, Gods and Generals! I've got my snake boots and my spade, and I'm headed to the woods.

I Ain't Fittin' It!

"Someone in a position of authority will try to persuade you to work on something that is not on your To Do list this weekend. Be brave and tell them it’s not going to happen. What can they do about it?"

I'm very fond of my older neighbor, and do a lot for her. Cheerfully, willingly, and free of charge. Last week, however, she actually "hired" me to do some cleaning. When payday arrived her idea of what the job was worth and mine were worlds apart. 

Would you spend 8 hours on a 10 foot ladder for $25? I let it go. But when she asked me to install a part she bought for her bathroom toilet, I just said "not tonight." 

It was the wrong part, anyway. Like Mammy would say, "It ain't fittin'." And frankly, my dear, at the moment, I don't give a damn.

Ursus Horribilus Rising

"A breakthrough of some sort is imminent. You may find that hard to believe after so many recent setbacks but in a matter of days you will be riding the crest of a wave again - and this time you won’t fall off."
 

 

Last summer while visiting friends in Missouri I saw this bear and fell in love. The sculptor who created it was from Lubbock, Texas, like Buddy Holly. Now maybe those forms surrounding its' feet are ferns, but I see them as sea foam.

Aphrodite as Ursus Horribilus. Surf's up! Bring on the Breakthrough.
