Sort of felt it happening over the day yesterday

As I worked the polls on Nov 5 2024 it was giving me a look at what the people showing up wanted "to say".  In an historic blue state it felt very purple to use news "tag line".  I haven't turned on the news yet...wanted to do some writing before I heard more.  First email of my day today - Price alert: Bitcoin (BTC) is up ↗ +6.53%  Here we go on what I am thinking is going to be quite the roller coaster for the days ahead for so many things.  

But back to yesterday.  Set my alarm for 3:30 a.m.  Got up without it.  Texted sister #4 to see if she was up and going for her poll work.  She did use the two alarms she set.  :)  Drove up and back to polls.  Should have walked.  The weather was record setting heat again.  Today might be the same.  Got into bed at almost 10 p.m.  Time change and working polls...need to help my body back to comfort value.  

Did run the dishwasher last night when I got home.  Will save washing clothes until next Tuesday.  No Shoprite this week.  Will clean apt today is my thought but could be delayed.  

If you are minded to take a risk of some sort you need to do your research first and work out what you stand to lose if it goes wrong. Is it worth gambling so much on? Only you can decide but don’t take that decision in a hurry.

The Capricorn moon and Saturn align to promote wellness and emotional awareness, dearest Libra, inspiring you to be extra kind to yourself and your loved ones. Do something indulgent to nurture the spirit when the sun and moon align, finding pleasure through the senses. This energy is also great for investing in your space, so don't feel guilty about buying a few cozy items to elevate your home. Don't hide from discussions around romance when Mercury aspects the nodes of fate this evening, opening you up to new journeys and perspectives within matters of the heart. Relax and find balance before heading to bed when Luna and Chiron square off. 

Minor tensions could arise today, Libra. People close to you, perhaps your mate or parents, seem to be trying to force you to adopt a behavior that you aren't at all willing to follow. Will you negotiate your independence gently or tear yourself free from their domination? The second possibility seems more likely.

Not sure where my cosmic guidance is leading me today...but I did not expect things to be clear and caring post my wake up news.  I think I will go to the "relax and find balance" note.  Keep a good thought for that.  There has been a wake up call for sure.  I will still say - Have a nice Wednesday.  I will wait until 5 a.m. to turn on the news.  Need a few more minutes of quiet to start my day.  

Off to the polls... :/

Felt like this day would not come.  Hope it comes and goes - with a decision by end of day.  A gal can dream...Set my alarm for 3:30 a.m.  Woke up at 2:47 a.m.  On second cup of coffee at 3:28 a.m.  

Dealt with more clearing out yesterday.  Wanted to get another batch to the dumpster before garbage people came to empty it today.  Walked.  Dropped off My Name is Barbra.  Happy not to be lifting that "tome" any more.  :)  Totally enjoying In My Time of Dying by Sebastian Junger.  

Spoke to TX friend.  Landlady put some tomato soup on my stoop.  Will take that with me today for "linner".  Good alternative to my usual peanut butter and honey sandwich I take when I work polls.  Fingers crossed that there is a microwave in the teachers' lounge.  Good NE FL DC.  Sad that cancer is back for one of the participants.  But the mood was lifted by the batch of student from Georgia State College.  Wish I had been in those rooms back in the day...

Today - nothing but polls.  Will head there at 5 a.m. and hope to be home by 9 p.m.  Walk with family friend on Wed a.m. will be chatty for sure.  :)

Sister #1 sent out the "Thanksgiving invite" email...I had gotten myself in the mood to go, but that was tempered a bit when I read that sister #3 and her wife would be attending...that will change the picture of what I thought would be that weekend's conversation and activity.  Will see if she does her usual and backs out at last minute.  

Money matters should go well for you between now and the end of the week, so stop worrying that you won’t be able to make ends meet and act as if you know your needs will be met – and, miraculously, most of them will be.

You may find yourself in need of some extra support and nurturing, dearest Libra, as the moon migrates into Capricorn and your solar fourth house. Remember that just because you can endure stress, drama, or grief-- doesn't mean you have to. Your instincts will guide you toward sustainable practices, allowing you to cultivate more compassion for the self. Themes around the home also come into play, and you may find it necessary to implement changes that will contribute to the stability of your space. Work for equal exchange within your relationships this evening when Luna aspects the nodes of fate. 

People may be difficult to deal with today, Libra. You may soon discover that they're just as stubborn as you are. Try to give others the benefit of the doubt or there will be a stalemate in just about every corner of your life. Don't consider it a loss or failure of character if you find you need to make some concessions in order to get things to work.

Money matters have been front and center for the last few months.  Lots of woulda, shoulda, coulda in how I have not paid enough attention over the last decades.  But I will keep my eye on "miraculously" met, compassion, benefit of the doubt...Keep a good thought for extra support and nurturing showing up.  :)  Have a good Tuesday Election Day.  Sitting in front of window wide open in my office room...want to breathe in fresh air before I head inside the school gym.  

Hmmm...time change adjustment day

Why it still "gets" me I don't know.  But it does.  I woke up at my "regular" time, but that meant with the change - 3 a.m. and bed at regular time - 7 p.m.  Oh well.  

Yesterday - walked to Unionville, popped over to ALDI since I will be working Tuesday and all I needed for the week was bananas, bread and cookies.  I guess I should not put cookies in the "need" category...no Shoprite this week. Talked to sister #1 on her sibling call.  She did not mention Thanksgiving.  I will have to nail down sisters 4, 6 to see if we are traveling or not.  I need to clear out food before that if we are going.  Leaving for Detroit on Dec 6...  

Sister #1 and gentleman caller were off to Eisenhower-one man show in Maryland.  Heard from TX friend, she was out puttering in her garden.  Dealing with leaves in her pool.  

Will spend some time today clearing out a pantry closet.  I have used a kitchen pantry closet as a "book shelf".  Need to see if anything else needs to go to the "little library" down the block.  :)  Walk.  Drop off Barbra book.  LOVING the Junger book. FL DC tonight.

Just because you have the power to force others to do your bidding does not mean you have the right to do so. The message of the stars today is that you need to be relentlessly honest and fair in your dealings with friends, relatives and colleagues.

Consistency brings results today, dearest Libra, as the Scorpio sun and Saturn form a supportive connection. Use this energy to lay down the groundwork for your next bold move while tying up loose ends within present milestones. Meanwhile, Luna moves and shakes through Sagittarius, aspect-ing Jupiter, Chiron, and Venus throughout the afternoon. The words that cross your lips will hold much weight right now, whether you're speaking with a colleague or into the ether. Now is also an excellent time to organize ideas, considering where collaborations can be embraced to help you go faster and further than you ever thought possible. 

Your innate talent and conscientious work ethic earn you admiration and respect. Whether you're aware of it or not, others look up to you as someone who has it together. Yet you still have that nagging doubt that you're an impostor. Today's astral energies ask you to look at where these doubts originate. It's time to get to the source and exorcise the monsters for good! They have nothing to do with your success.

Today - sort, walk, DC.  Warming back up.  27 degrees now to 50's today.  Up to 70's tomorrow.  Have a good Monday.  
 

Lobster roll by the water

Beautiful spot on Branford.  Met up with a cousin, went for a lobster roll, then walked the beach for a bit.  I do cut a fashionable figure by Thimble Islands.  :)  

Yesterday - short walk, lots of deep breaths, Lansing DC, then off to the coast.  Lenny's  Great spot and then off to The Owenego Inn to walk the beach and rocks by it.  Who would have thought this town had the attractions it does.  

Don't spend much time in car of late, but was listening to the radio and heard a comment from a 30-something who was saying as to view of politics, he had never been eligible to vote when Trump was not on the ballot.  I go back to a conversation with my son back in the day when we talked about his view of politics was around Clinton-Lewinsky, hanging chads in Florida, post Sept 11 world.  Interesting place to put thoughts as we go into Tuesday and why people do what they do.  

Today - walk to Unionville.  No other plan.  Resting up for Tuesday.  Halloween, All Soul's/Saint's Days, Time Change, Election Day...jam pack few days.  And the "darkest part of the year".  Between now and Dec 21.  Wow.  

The past few weeks have been special for you and with Mars about to move into the area of your chart that governs your hopes and wishes the next few weeks could be even better. Put a name to your dream and then make it come true.

Venus aligns with Chiron and Jupiter, sweet Libra, heightening your intuition, luck, and capacity for sweetness. Use this energy to invest in shared wishes, considering how you and your loved ones can collaborate to move mountains. Be open to other people's ideas when the Sagittarius moon aligns with the nodes of fate, even if it means leaving some of your own in the past. You'll see that changing your perspective doesn't mean you are sacrificing parts of yourself. Get ready for more social invitations once Mars enters Leo, bringing action to your community. Move your body to quiet the mind before heading to bed when Luna and Saturn square off. 

With today's celestial configuration, your emotional universe will once again glow with positive energy. You will be meeting more people, and your encounters are likely to be more profound. The coming weeks are quite promising for you, Libra. The music will be in the key to pleasure and sensuality. Allow the music to fill your senses!

Again, another day of good cosmic guidance.  I will try to take it all in.  Sunny and 50 by mid day today.  Coolest day of late.  Have a good Sunday.  Good day for Tarheels yesterday, not so much for Minutemen...  Oh well.  Listening to On Three this a.m.  Big switch to what I look at post Helene.  Uplifting to hear from people in the area.  Big week of news this week.  (insert praying hands emoji) 

Another beautiful day Friday...

Drawn to this picture today. This was my last day of working in 2019.  Where have the last 5 years gone?  Yesterday talked to Virginia.  Uncomfortable conversation but I calmed down on my walk.  So much on my mind.  Aging alone is not for the "faint of heart".  More talk with Chris about our December trip.  Listened to more Justin Rhodes and True Grit: Appalachian Way.  :)  Too funny how calming these families are to me.  I will look for inspiration today at Lansing DC and lunch with my cousin by the water.  Will think about heading out for a abbreviated walk this a.m. before DC.  

Yesterday - Virginia, walk, talk to son.  Did my monthly financial report.  Had to smile when I was out walking and lady stopped me to ask about hours for early voting.  :)  She said to the lady walking with her "I knew she would know."  Reminded me about Thursday walk where I was "late" walking after I got sprung from polls work - man drove by and rolled down his window and said "you are really late today".  NO idea who he was.  Too funny.  

Sister #4 let me and #6 know that with global warming her patio furniture back to the shed movement in November rather than October.  :)  She did it yesterday even though it might have been handy to have it out when temp goes up again next week.  Weekend will be fall "seasonal".  But 70 on Election Day.  AND the dreaded time change tonight.  I so wish this would go away.  Oh well.  

Whatever it is you are currently working on you must put everything into it over the next 48 hours. The planets indicate that anything and everything you do will be a resounding success, so get on with it and don’t waste time looking back.

Clear the mind and release stress by seeking comfort through sensual experiences, such as sweet Libra, as Mercury aspects Pluto before entering Sagittarius. Be mindful of when to dig your heels in while a Scorpio moon opposes Uranus this afternoon, demonstrating wisdom by understanding when it's time to make a change, fight, or let go. You'll feel lighter and hit a productive flow when Neptune activates this evening, presenting opportunities to appreciate the wheels that your life turns upon entirely. Do something creative later tonight when Luna aspects Pluto before entering Sagittarius, crystallizing artistic visions through bold self-expression. 

What are you afraid of, Libra? Is it contact with other people? It's as if an invisible rope were holding you back from getting close to people, or worse, pulling you back. What's this about? You're going through a period that's closely linked to your past. A failed relationship still haunts you and casts its shadow on the current one. Get rid of the skeletons in your closet!

Wow.  Cosmic guidance hit me between the eyes this a.m.  Definitely need a bit of walking this morning to think about it.  Another "too funny" - EOLD on Nov 13 is the Nervous system support session AND I made my appt with Joyce for that day.  Walk with family friend, EOLD, Joyce...feels like a day for the "emotion" record books.  :)  Have a good Saturday.  

Got sprung early on polls work again yesterday!

Picture of a wind phone from Provincetown that was sent to me yesterday.  Good timing with All Soul's Day, Dia De Los Muertos this today into the weekend.  I will hope to feel the veils thin.  :)  Heard from person in Bay area.  He and wife offered to pick son and I up and take us out to dinner on our first night in town.  Very positive feeling.  

Yesterday 8 to 2:30 work at polls.  Very glad that someone really wanted to work the end of shift!  I headed home, changed into shorts and headed out for walk.  Record setting weather day.  People on paddle boards in river with bathing suits on...Oct 31?  Wowser.  

Heard from brother.  A resident from where he works has a birthday today.  I had helped her and her husband build their house in the neighborhood I worked at in NC.  :)  Love that when worlds collide.  Texted my niece who had not heard from since other niece's wedding...she is training for a half marathon and still needs to vote.  I told her to kill two birds with one stone and run to the polls.  :)  

Today talk to Virginia and walk.  Tomorrow Lansing DC and lunch with cousin by the beach.  Too bad it won't be record setting heat tomorrow.  Oh well.  Better for our post lunch walk.  

The most important thing now is that you make a decision and stick to it. The more you chop and change today and over the weekend the less likely it is you will move closer to your long-term goals. A fixed purpose is an absolute must.

Money is on your mind today, dearest Libra, as the Scorpio new moon rises in the sector of your chart that governs finances and security. Be transparent with yourself about the state of your bank account, bringing more order to your spending habits while squirreling away a few extra nuts. Luckily, Saturn steps in to bring out your practical and organizational side, offering a sense of delight with each brilliant plan you put into motion. Warm and healing vibes find you when Chiron and Jupiter align, helping you strengthen relationships and your connection with the universe. Find new value in what you already have this evening when Mercury aspects Mars.

 If a friend or acquaintance gives you advice about money or investments today, don't take it. To follow this unknowledgeable person's lead might prove to be disastrous. Participation in group activities also isn't advisable. They could get out of hand, and you could find end up in the middle of an angry crowd. This is a great day to stay home, Libra. Work on your own project.

Money, decision making...going hand in hand right now.  Staying home is not problem for me.  :)  Have a good Friday, Nov 1, 2024.  

Off to "work" at the early voting polls

Off to early voting work for the day.  Hottest Halloween day in history of my state.  :/  I will be inside from 8-8.  Oh well.  My thought is to walk up and down at least.  

Yesterday walked, noon EOLD about the "seeing the unseen", massage Wednesday.  Heard that recently married niece was accepted at Vanderbilt School of Nursing...good thing that she married money. :) I will hope that that side of the family will make sure it all happens.  Talked to Bay Area people son and I will be visiting in December.  Will miss sister #1 and her gentleman caller.  

Forgot to clean the apt yesterday morning, got to it post massage.  Not having my Wednesday walk at 9 a.m. with family friend got me all off course.  :)  Homemade pea soup for my second meal from landlady's delivery Tuesday.  

Watched a lot of Justin Rhodes and two other youtube Western NC families.  So funny how I cannot watch "current events" talks post Helene.  

Tomorrow’s new moon in the financial area of your chart will encourage you to make some necessary cuts in your spending. You enjoy splashing out, and there is nothing wrong with that, but don’t let your expenses get too far ahead of your income.

You may feel slightly defensive as the moon takes its final steps through your sign this morning, Libra, forming a harsh t-square with Mars and Pluto. Though others may test your boundaries, remember that how you stand your ground is essential, taking care not to offend others or burn bridges. Luckily, the atmosphere shifts once Luna migrates into Scorpio, helping you release unwanted baggage so you can ground and find beauty in the present moment. Bring a bit of wellness into your Halloween plans as evening sets in and Mercury aspects Neptune, asking you to seek sensory experiences that promote health. 

Your creative juices are flowing freely, Libra, but there appears to be a roadblock. Something or someone apparently doesn't want you to continue down the path you're on. Perhaps he or she is scared that you're going to discover a whole new passion in life that they don't necessarily agree with. Don't forget who is running your show - you and no one else.

Think just sitting and working today will be good way to end the month.  Interesting last 3 months.  November feels ominous.  Spending, planning, post birthday thinking.  Nov, Dec, Jan are always hard months.  Yesterday in EOLD - mention of the "history" of Oct 31 to Dec 21.  Darkest time of the year.  Had not thought about that before - especially being a very light sensitive person.  But do have a good Thursday.  Will watch my Chicago shows tomorrow.  :)
