Saturn Return Can Bite Me

Hmm, today is Personal Daily Horoscope Day

nobody@vox.com(fullmoon) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 14:36:49 -0800

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?

This is why daily horoscopes are useless, folks

nobody@vox.com(fullmoon) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 14:23:59 -0800

I'm not a big believer in 'em- if you know anything in astrology beyond your sun sign you'll know why (there's too much detail in each individual chart for a general outlook to work for everyone).

But also, for stuff like this:

Taurus:
Finally, your persistence will pay off. At long last, what you’ve been waiting for. Yes, it’s true, it’s been a long time coming, but believe us, it will have been worth the wait. We won’t lie you to you Taurus, we were worried there for a while, but you’re finally going to get what you deserve. A real, live, human date. Maybe even on Saturday if you’re lucky. Halle-freakin’-lujah.

The words "not holding my breath" come to mind. (Valentine's Day is a huge jinx for me even beyond my usual Venus/Saturn issues.) The Scorpio one seems a lot more me:

Don’t settle just to get a date on Saturday. It’s like Amanda Jones says at the end of Some Kind of Wonderful: “I’d rather be alone for the right reasons than with someone for the wrong ones.”

Happily, I shall be too busy to care that day anyway.

Today's a GOOD day for Taurus and love?

Really? I find this hard to believe.

Weekly horoscope.

nobody@vox.com(fullmoon) — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 13:25:16 -0800

Bridgett Walther Taurus weekly:

Friendship could turn lusty and romantic this week. While minding your own business and keeping your nose to the proverbial grindstone, you suddenly get a whiff of something that smells like love. Because you're a Bull, your senses are instantly aroused, coaxing you to follow that scent wherever it takes you. Love could literally erupt in unexpected places (work or school or even the gym) at unexpected times.

Scorpio weekly:

You are wildly romantic and bursting with desire this week. Whether you direct this lusty vitality at a loved one or something else is up to you. Kundalini energy can be used to transform yourself, a connection with another or an important project. You are particularly attractive and vibrant now. Even animals will walk past everyone else and walk up to you. You command a lot of quiet power without raising your voice or demanding to be heard. Be aware of this wonderful gift and allow it to surge through you and out to those who need love and healing.

Scorpio today:

For February 7: Well, you're really in luck today! Uranus and Venus cook up some very tasty treats either in your romantic or creative zone. No matter which area is affected, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised. Ideas and motivation enter your mind like a runaway train, so have a notepad or recording device handy at all times. You'll be blessed with ingenious business and creative inspiration and mustn't waste a bit of it. Talks with fellow inspired, creative types could create a stimulating meeting of the minds. Talks with people that find you simply irresistible could create an even better kind of stimulation.

I know everyone is all "Yay Venus/Uranus today!", but... Well, I'm leaning towards the creative zone. I start a new craft class tonight. Whee!

Though I must admit...the hormones are raring lately. Unfortunately, not in a situation I could act on.

Michael Lutin's weekly:

Scorpio (Taurus ain't promoting romance this week, probably just as well):

Getting cozy is the answer. You need intimacy and love right now and you need it bad. No matter how old you are or where you are in life, we know the career thing is putting a million pounds of pressure on you--but whatever is going on--money, health, or whatever, you have to have some fun, gamble, play music, dance and/or make love. No running away from it. It's food for your soul and nourishment for your heart. If romance is completely out of the question, that's just exactly what you need.

*sigh*

Planet Waves horoscope for today.

nobody@vox.com(fullmoon) — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 09:08:16 -0800

Eric Francis says:

Taurus (April 19-May 20)
What is your relationship to providing love, comfort and nourishment for others? That is, what is your relationship to giving yourself? At what point does generosity turn to resentment? Maybe it never does; maybe the change is subtle. It may be at the moment you decide you're going to give what you have, only to sense you feel like you're being deceived. That is an old story; an old fear. For once, something that seems too good to be true finally is true. But at the moment, the first move is yours.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22)
Who you are determines what happens to you. Who, though, determines who you are? To what extent is your existence a matter of fate, choice, or collaboration with your environment? I suggest that at the moment, it's all three. The fate factor you can do little about, except pay attention. Choices are meaningful only when we make them -- or consciously hold off as an act of will. Collaboration is the one that's offering you the richest rewards at the moment.

Blame it on the asteroid.

nobody@vox.com(fullmoon) — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 09:12:19 -0700

Astro-weirding for Weds that might actually be funny: asteroid Eros in Leo makes some bonkers aspects. Leos, Aquarians, Taureans & Scorps are all capable of utterly ludicrous sexual/sensual actions.

Yeah, that's certainly appropriate today.

Today's Bridgett Walther:

"Your dreams and aspirations may differ from the actual facts of your existence. Today urges you to consider the disparity between expectation and reality, and to take steps to balance your life accordingly. It’s wonderful to dream big but more important to manifest solid tangible results. If your conversations and dreams have not translated into measurable success, it may be wise to trim down some of your expectations to something more reasonable and doable. This is not settling or giving up – this is being flexible enough to build a dream into a reality."

Mojo mojo

nobody@vox.com(fullmoon) — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 10:20:31 -0700

From Mystic Medusa: Apparently this was supposed to be yesterday's horoscope.

Taurus
Jupiter Direct in your House of Love is fabulous news, the unsticking of something that’s moved at turgid pace. You should find love moves fast or maybe it’s more of a biz partnership scenario?

Scorpio
Venus squares Uranus – triggering strange but sexy and inspirational love stars! You’re telepathic in flirtation! Jupiter moves direct in Scorpio, signalling the return of Scorpy mojo.

I generally think the daily/weekly/monthly generic ones are mostly BS, especially if you look at old ones. This just makes me laugh. I may have this stuff forecasted in my actual chart in the future, but yesterday all I did was hang out with girls. (That I wasn't boinking, thanks.)
