Hmm, today is Personal Daily Horoscope Day

Apparently all the transits are posted for free on Thursdays on astro.com now. Let's cut n' paste today's and compare and contrast to my reality today, shall we?

I say this because this week is a real lulu for me. Can you guess how it's going?

Heart over mind    
Weak, transient effect: This influence usually denotes a brief period of good feelings and generosity toward others. This morning you feel that everything is all right, and you have nothing to fear. You express your self-confidence by being above petty irritations. Not easily angered, you tolerate even the most harsh behavior from other people. But you probably won't have to contend with "harsh behavior," because the energy of this influence does not arouse it in those around you. You will get what you give - kindness, friendship and nurturing support. This influence can also awaken your concern for the deeper aspects of life. You may seek metaphysical and spiritual insights, but with your heart rather than your mind. Rational knowledge is not likely to satisfy you at this time.

Just bored    
At this time you may feel a strong urge to get away from the daily routine and go off somewhere, and you may not be entirely conscious of the reasons behind this drive. It is a mood, a restlessness that is hard to pin down. But there is more than one way to get away; for example it can be done in the mind as well as in the physical world. Travel may be beneficial as long as the break from your routine isn't too radical. You are not really interested in getting totally away from it all, you are just bored with your everyday life. Study or mental journeys may be more useful, because you can remain in familiar surroundings supported by the comforts of your normal world. Yet at the same time you can expose yourself to ideas and concepts that are both revolutionary and liberating. Thus you can have some of the excitement that you crave.

Equanimity    
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day you experience a time of inner and outer equanimity. You can stop and take stock of yourself without feeling completely caught up in the usual turmoil and rush of events. Even if your affairs are not going too smoothly, this influence will provide a breathing space. If you have been feeling harried, you now have at least a brief opportunity to take it easy. And if you are relaxed, you will feel even better now. Your relationships with groups and friends are quite good during this time. You are able to understand other people's needs without losing sight of your own desires for fulfillment. Opportunities may arise from unexpected corners that will improve your life in small ways at least. In general you will benefit from being out in the world today and having as much contact with others as possible.

Small embarrassments    
During this time your feelings make themselves more noticeable than usual - even small embarrassments become extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, if you should make any mistake today, you should not immediately accuse yourself for it, as it is probably not as serious as it seems. This sensitivity, though, also gives you a good feel for the weaknesses and sensibilities of others, so that you can be very tactful and accommodating about them. In this way you encourage others to be open and also admit to their sore points. Your capacity for understanding and your readiness to take due account of personal traits, offers others - for example children - enough security to trust you.

Reality check: I am having dental issues up the wazoo. After waiting around for a week or so for an "emergency appointment" at my dentist on Tuesday, he threw up his hands and gave up on dealing with me because I have an enormous gag reflex. Wednesday the pain actually got to the point where I couldn't drug it into submission while I waited around for my now ex-dentist to find me a recommendation, so Thursday at the ass crack of dawn I was looking for dentists. Which terrified me, since I'm a "special case" and all, and generally am a dental failure. Happily, I found one well-recommended in town who would take me in early today and will work on me tomorrow, so I am feeling more reassured and less OMG OMG. I am sure this will be a BRIEF period of goodwill before I start having shit fits of fear tomorrow (good thing he gave me drugs for that). Even better, the new dentist was quite nice about my gag reflex from hell, so I didn't get the usual scolding.

As for the urge to roam, well, I took the bus to the appointment on one end of town, took the bus again to go pick up dental supplies and the aforementioned drug prescription, took the bus home during lunch...so I have spent a lot more time moving around this morning than I usually do on a workday. I feel like my restlessness has been dealt with!

Interesting way for these things to manifest today, eh?
