mercury goes retrograde again today, by the way, and will stay that way til the end of the month
so mixin up the messages in the horoscope dept, here's for Capricorn [my rising sign] this week: Did you hear about the older Korean woman who has failed her driving test 800 times? Or the American man who has filled out job applications at 25 Pizza Huts in 20 cities without being hired? Or the British artist who has completed over 5,000 paintings even though no gallery has ever shown his work? There is something about you that resembles those persistently frustrated people -- or at least has resembled them up until now. Soon, I predict, the dogged efforts you've made will finally pay off in at least a modest success, and perhaps even more if you'll make an effort to free your mind of its backlog of sad images.
there are 3 primary keys to the self astrologically speaking : the sign you were born under, that's like your base coat [virgo, in my case, La Frigid], your rising sign [your persona, ie your second coat], and your moon sign which rules your emotional life [in my case Pisces, and aside from getting motion sickness riding the emotions of others, I dunno much about Pisces except that it is supposedly the best sign for me to couple with, Capricorn being the runner up - in which case, given my 3-fer, I should be able to fuck(over) myself all the live long day, la la la] . . .
ASTROLOGY 101: WHAT IS PISCES LIKE? The symbol for Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions and this sign is as complex as that symbol implies. Life is never one way. There are many layers to reality and many dimensions operating simultaneously. Pisces is able to understand the breadth of experience and still, miraculously, operate simply. Pisces spiritual nature limits the amount of time Pisces spends caught up in the world of the intellect. Sure, Pisces is an intelligent sign. But most Pisces do not consider reason to be the best way to sort through life. Pisces is comfortable following intuition even when it defies logic to do so. Wisdom and faith go hand in hand for this sign. Pisces people do not always know exactly what they think about God or the afterlife and these beliefs may change several times throughout a Pisces lifetime. However, usually Pisces honors some kind of faith and it is a strong current that runs through everything Pisces does. Pisces is a compassionate sign, deeply empathetic to what others are going through. Sometimes Pisces is a sponge, picking up on the good and bad vibrations all around. Because of their sensitivity, Pisces need to be extra vigilant to expose themselves to as much happiness and goodness as possible.
