Your unrelenting determination is useful today as you manage a complex family situation that has created its share of stress. Fortunately, your key planet Venus forms an easy trine to lucky Jupiter, enabling you to find a solution to a problem that has been nagging at you for a while. Nevertheless, it could take a minor crisis to motivate you to investigate further. Remember that temporary patches and quick fixes are not a smart idea at this time.
This one was sooo apropos, it wasn’t even funny. But, because it has to do with certain aspects of my family, I can’t elaborate. If you know me, you probably know. If you know me and you don’t know…it probably doesn’t concern you.
It’s quite unsettling when you are not in control of your feelings, but try not to worry if you aren’t satisfied with what you currently have. Trust your instincts, for your ruling planet Venus enters your 4th House of Security, ensuring your common sense in love even if you consider shaking everything up for the sake of change. But be careful of overreacting or your inflexibility can create unnecessary problems. Be open to meeting others halfway or you might miss the love that’s already in your life.
I know there was a very good reason for saving this one…but you know, a week later, if I don’t make any notes, it’s hard to say what was running through my head. I do remember the night before, as I tried to go to sleep, feeling utterly and completely out of control of my life…to the point where I actually, seriously thought about rope and the rafters of the back porch. Two main things stopped me…the first being my children. I would never, ever do that to them. What a horrible, selfish thing to do to one’s children…let alone spouse, parents, siblings, co-workers, etc. The other is the thing that’s always stopped me…if you give in to the long term solution to a short-term problem, you never know what the next chapter is, do you?
I’ve been getting steadily better since then, even though in some ways, some things are worse than they were then. But yesterday I vowed to press on, take control and stop waiting for someone to save me. Only one someone can save me….me.
For my main home page, I have iGoogle. You can pick all sorts of fun widgets to clutter up your iGoogle page and one of them is a daily horoscope from Tarot.com. For the most part, it’s like any other generic, one-size-fits-none daily horoscope. But lately, they’ve been hitting it eerily spot-on. Today’s is a prime example:
You may feel as if you are at a turning point in your life, but everything may seem bigger than it actually is. It will take months before your long-term goals clarify, yet the choices you make now will be instrumental in your new direction. Don’t worry if you cannot put all your ideas into one practical package. For now, let your imagination flow without restraint; you can make sense of your thoughts later on.
Over the last couple of days, I’ve been determined to turn things around in my life, to end the cycle of downward spiral, clean things up, clear things out, lose weight, finish projects, etc. But my mind can’t settle on one thing to begin with. Today I decided to take control of my kitchen. I’ve washed a ton of dishes, and am cleaning the fridge out (most of what was in there was nascent compost), wash it out and clean the floors and start the plan to paint and refurbish the kitchen. Also, I want to work my way through the laundry monster that’s taken over the laundry/cat area in my studio, and move ahead on getting my shelves back up in my bedroom.
Why the heck am I sitting here typing??
