Fall came to me yesterday

Pictures from cousin's cottage in NYS.  Picture out my front window.  What arrived in my mail box yesterday.  Fall full day.  :)

Ran dishwasher, walked, Noon - PCV program which was very informative.  Not encouraging about what might be in the conversation in DC...  Then CA DC.  Then SD DC.  Wide ranging conversations and made for a full day.  Today - clean apt.  Walk with family friend. EOLD at noon - Navigating Eco-Grief, Lansing DC tonight.  

Not sure what else traveled through my mind yesterday.  We will see where my minds goes today.  

If you get the cold shoulder from a friend or colleague today, that’s fine. They don’t need you and you don’t need them. In fact, you will accomplish a lot more without them, especially as so much of their input always seems to be negative.

You could awaken to sudden fame, dearest Libra, thanks to supportive aspects between the Sagittarius Moon, Pluto, and Uranus. Use this energy to further expose the world to your art, ideas, and unique point of view. At the very least, now is a good time to ask for what you want and pursue what the heart desires. Passion fueled conversations will elevate you to a state of bliss, so be mindful to surround yourself with people who get you. Accept any midweek invitations that find you while Luna, Mars, and Saturn form a grand trine this afternoon, and you may establish valuable connections.

Good news about money could create some excitement in your household today, Libra. One of your goals might be to invest some of the funds in fixing up your living situation. You might even consider moving or purchasing a new home. You may kick around a lot of ideas about how to spend the windfall, but don't go too crazy. Hold on to some of that money as a nest egg.

No fame or fortune felt this early a.m. but maybe it will unveil as the day unfolds.  :)  Have a good Wednesday.  

Week begins :)

This picture seemed to fit my morning.  A couple of un-stop-ables.  Time and the ocean.  And time will take me to this time next week which will lead to people in town...leaving the details to reveal themselves.  :)

Yesterday - washed clothes, ALDI only $16.17/8 item day, walk, read The Every, talked to TX/NM friend, ZEN DC - 2 group members do a reality check on their cognitive impairment diagnoses. TX/NM will be landing in town a week from tomorrow.  Today - run dishwasher, walk, PCV webinar at noon, CA DC at 1, SD CA at 4.  Will see where that all lands with sorting out my thoughts about balance of Oct.  Again that Oct 15 to Jan 15 time period and how life shifts focus during that time.  Will think about my Solstice/Quarter Day occurrences. Samhain 2026 begins at nightfall on Saturday, October 31, 2026, and continues through Sunday, November 1, 2026. Spiritual Significance: Widely regarded as a time when the veil between the physical world and the spirit world is thinnest, making it ideal for honoring ancestors and reflecting.  Will keep that in my mind as my "recovery time" from company.  Massage Friday Oct 30 and Samhain.  Company leaves on Oct 27.  Seems to sync.  :)  

Don’t listen to those who say you are aiming too high because today’s new moon in your sign will both guide and protect you and make impossible things look almost easy. The universe wants you to succeed, and you don’t want to disappoint it!

Social engagement could prove more disorienting than fulfilling, darling Libra. Limit your communication while the Scorpio Moon forms harsh squares with Jupiter and the nodes of fate, or your vision may start to blur. Technology poses another risk to your focus, and it might be wise to keep your phone out of sight so you are not distracted by it. Your mental agility returns once Luna enters Sagittarius this evening, and you'll feel eager to connect with others. Wind down by treating yourself to some extra pampering before bed, as Neptune lures you to a state of harmony and bliss. 

Today, more than ever, you will yearn to escape the daily routine, Libra. You thirst for new sights and sounds, new faces and new places, but you know you must juggle your desires with professional and domestic obligations. It isn't always easy. Trust your imagination to find a way to settle this conflict.

Trust.  Keep a good thought for that and my wandering mind.  :)  Have a good Tuesday.  

Quiet day...putting storm windows down :)

Not sure what this pic has to do with me dropping all but 2 of my storm windows in place, but I guess I am thinking about cold weather coming and upcoming company...  :)  "This too will pass" as my Jacksonville FL college friend said about the water in her lanai and my company coming and cold weather.  Very interested in what I am supposed to be learning from the two weeks ahead.  Again Oct 15-Jan 15 - land mine material timeframe in my mind.  It is interesting to feel how quiet it gets in the apt when I go from screens to glass in the windows.  :)  

So yesterday - walked to Unionville, windows, read The Every, two calls from sister #1 - sibling call early, then another call as she went by a fundraiser location on the Cape for an Omega Home near where she and gentleman caller are staying.  Always lifts me up when I hear about what make people think of me as they wander their worlds.  Great Death Sangha in the afternoon.  Great group of people in that room.  One emergency room doc really has his finger on the pulse of life and death.  What a gift if people encounter him when in a medical crisis.  

Today - wash clothes, ALDI/nothing drawing me to Shoprite - have until 10/31 to use a couple of the PERKS coupons I know I want, walk, ZEN DC.  Read. 

All things will be possible for you over the next few days, so stop worrying what other people are doing and focus exclusively on your own ambitions. With the Sun in your sign until the end of next week, you’ve got plenty of time to make good things happen.

Declutter your space and add uplifting touches to improve clarity, dearest Libra, as the Scorpio Moon and Mercury unite. This celestial union highlights how deeply sensitive you are to your surroundings, even if you're not always aware of it. If you've been struggling to focus at home or work, a minor interior upgrade can help you get back on track. Imagine that mental or creative blocks are being swept away as you tidy up. Then, consider what you hope to manifest while playing with design. Now is also a good time to determine if you're due for a raise or if your budget needs some adjusting. 

You probably think of yourself as a curious intellectual, Libra, but a recent expansion in career and finance has brought out talents for business and money that you didn't know you had. This has been a time not only of success and good fortune but also of learning more about yourself. Don't fall back on old fears or underestimate yourself. You're capable of accomplishing more than you know.

Encouraged by cosmic guidance.  I need all the positive the stars can give me between now and Oct 28.  As to budget, that is one thing that is on my mind as I go into the end of Oct...I will hope that is a "block" that I can sweep away.  Fingers crossed on good things, uplifting touches and accomplishments.  :)  Have a good Monday.  

 

More miles.... :)

One lady in the W&T book club likes to take a picture each time to post on her FB...  :)  Oh well.  It was a beautiful day for a walk.  Left the apt at 12:30-ish and arrived at 1:50-ish and got home at 3:30-ish.  Other than book club, spent much of day reading and finishing and dropping off at library on my way to book club - Don't Be Evil. Felt less than no sympathy for the woman writing that book... Started The Every last night.  Did not realize it was a direct follow of The Circle. 

Today - Walk to Unionville, Death Sangha.  Rain is supposed to come later this afternoon.  Heard from college friend in Jacksonville - "water in her lanai".  Acquaintance near Tampa - rain but no issues.  Sibling call - sister #1 and gentleman caller should be leaving Cape on Tuesday or Wednesday.  Still have one week until TX/NM friend arrives, sisters 4 & 6.  Oct 21 and 24, respectively.  Sisters just an overnight.  TX/NM friend in area for a week.  

Life has been pretty good to you of late, but there is one area that has been in a worrying state of flux. Now things have started to calm down, you can push ahead again with a creative project that has been very much on-off in recent weeks.

Last night's New Moon had you riding a serious high, dearest Libra, but you're called back down to earth as Luna enters Scorpio. To make this transition more comfortable, surround yourself with food for the senses. Anxieties around money could arise when Pluto casts a shadow midafternoon, but try not to equate self-worth with financial success. Trust that you'll have ample opportunities to accumulate wealth when Luna and Venus rx unite, and work on appreciating all that you have. Avoid looking over your shoulder to compare what others have manifested in contrast to your own journey when Mars grows restless tonight.

Someone you care about but haven't seen for a long time could suddenly contact you. You'd usually love this, Libra, but today you could be too caught up in projects of your own to want to put them aside. But you will have a lot of fun with this person, and you might even interest him or her in your project. After finishing your work, get some delicious takeout.

Don't anticipate any other humans crossing my path today but will stay alert.  I do appreciate what I have and make conscious choices based on needs/haves.  :)  Have a good Sunday.  

Wandering day

My great nephew is ready for Halloween.  :)  Wish my son lived closer to his cousin and her family.  Think they would be great friends.  :)  "One of one day at a time."  As son set the tone of his current life as to the current single status.  Onward and upward.  

Good news for UNC basketball last night.  Will see how football goes today.  

My day yesterday - watched L&O's from Thursday night and then headed out for walk at 10 a.m.  Got home at 1:30 p.m.  Ran into someone on the rails to trails and walked her and her dog back to her car...then retraced my steps back to where I turned around with her.  Beautiful day so no complaints on my part.  :)  

Today - Listen to All-In, watch Boston Blue if I can get it for free, walk to W&T book club.  Not sure what else will pop in to day.  

Don’t listen to those who say you are aiming too high because today’s new moon in your sign will both guide and protect you and make impossible things look almost easy. The universe wants you to succeed, and you don’t want to disappoint it!

You're blessed with renewed hope and a desire to improve your situation, dearest Libra. As the New Moon rises in your sign, you'll feel more aware of how much can change in a year. With your birthday season in full swing, reflect upon what has transpired since your last solar return and what you'd like to accomplish before next year's. Set goals in six-month increments, reviewing progress during the Libra Full Moon on March 22, 2027. You could hear from an old friend when Venus rx squares Mars midafternoon, but tread carefully with anyone who has burned you in the past. Luckily, loyal companions will surround you with love and support once Luna aspects Jupiter later today, creating a buffer against negativity.

Your mind is usually quick, agile, and hungry for information, Libra. Today it's likely to be even more so than usual. Your curiosity is high, and you could go to unusual lengths to satisfy it. You might also feel particularly energetic and want to get in a good workout. This is a good idea. Exercise can clear your head and give you a better perspective on new ideas and information.

Hmmm - between now and March 22 2027.  I will think about this goal setting directive.  Have a good Saturday.  

External world "VENN" diagramed on my day. :)

Walking up to a 3:33 a.m.  Will see if action opps appear today.  Nothing on my paper calendar but going to be a great wandering day with the weather.  

So yesterday...watched my 3 Chicago shows.  2.5 before I headed to AAA for my license renewal work. On way to AAA stopped at walk up at BOA to cash cat tending check.  Whole AAA work was less than 15 minutes.  Lady did look at the first picture she took and said - "maybe we should try that again"...I did take the 8 year option so she felt that looking at that first pic for 8 years would be hard.  :)  I don't expect to be driving for 8 years, but went for the 8 over 2...  I saw the Medicare $90 in my bank in the morning so I thought that was a sign to just do it.  So with that $90 and my cat tending $, I got Even Stephen with pumper upper, power cord and license.  Getting ahead?...not my style.  :)  So in car to BOA, AAA, couldn't think of any other stops, watched end of 3rd Chicago show, walk, sister #6 called.  She was with sisters 1 and 4 on the Cape.  #4 took the ride she had asked if I wanted to go with.  Walking around looking at shops and Capt Parker's for dinner...no draw there.  

Today - L&O 2 shows to watch from last night.  Am thinking I will be locked out from watching CBS shows with the new Sundance configuration, but will try on Saturday a.m. to watch Boston Blue.  Might be good for my brain and soul if I can't watch that show.  :)  So watch L&O, walk.  Will see what else falls into day.  Will so my Saturday walk route today since I will do Friday route tomorrow to work with the W&T book club.  

You may be inclined to spend time evaluating your goals and whether or not you are moving closer to them, but the new moon in your sign this weekend makes such self-reflection pointless. Just be ready to move fast when a new opportunity presents itself.

Cosmic refreshment is on the way, dearest Libra, as Luna makes her debut in your sign. Aspects with outer planets Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus allow you to juggle multiple agendas at once, but try not to lose sight of what is most important. Set intentions and check in with yourself before the day begins. Compare what must be done with what you would like to do, and look for ways to split the difference. Mars stirs this afternoon, asking you to prioritize goals you are passionate about. Just don't get too distracted, or you may be forced to work late into the evening when Luna opposes Saturn.

An unexpected and perhaps not altogether welcome call could come your way today, Libra. It could come from someone you don't particularly care for or someone who has some disconcerting news to report. Whichever it is, you will probably just have to deal with it. However, you may feel about the caller or what he or she has to report, you will probably consider it important to have the conversation.

Hmmm....move fast, cosmic refreshment...disconcerting news.  We will see.  But feels like a good Friday ahead from my morning perch.  :)  Have a good Friday.  

Feels like another "action day" :)

This pic is for my son.  While he and I were on the phone yesterday, he got a text from a lady he had had a couple of dates with...no mas.  Friends but no romance was her decision...I had hoped for a different outcome and I hope that he did not inherit "my gene" about not making a meaningful place in my life to commit to any relationship.  Living alone - I have made it work and have had a very interesting life, but never committed to being there for another person - in a girlfriend/boyfriend, husband/wife way...over 70+ years...not traumatic in a what happened way, but unknown as to what could have happened.  Want a different outcome for my son.  Time will tell. 

Yesterday - cleaned apt, walked with family friend, EOLD - speaker had to reschedule so it was just an "ask us anything" session by the facilitators and it was interesting.  Then I took a second walk - walked to library to drop off Krueger and pick up two more books.  Holiday on Monday...had to be prepared because I think the "Don't Be Evil" will be a quick read.  Just like the whistleblower at one tech giant, this is intriguing as to what those hip and happening and money printing companies are like on the inside.  

Today - 9 a.m. license renewal AAA appt, then bank. Guess I will go for the 8 versus 2 year renewal - that will make it completely Even Stephen as to money in for cat tending and money out for pumper upper, power cord, license renewal.  :/  Will check and see if I got my $90 medicare $.  Fingers crossed.  :)  Will see about watching Chicago Wednesday shows.  Hope the technology of that has not changed since last season.  More fingers crossed.  Son, money, Chicago.  :)

Stand back from what you are working on and try to see it from both a higher and a wider perspective. It’s not that you are doing it wrong, but if you give yourself more options, the results will far exceed what you managed to get done before.

Your mind will be busy but disorganized, darling Libra, which may cause you to feel a bit on edge. The void-of-course Virgo Moon could be to blame for any discomfort you experience. Journaling can be useful if recurring thoughts refuse to subside. Staying active with tasks that don't require much brain power can also help you move stagnant energy that's causing restlessness. Subconsciously zoning out or daydreaming will seem more frequent and problematic, especially if you have a demanding work environment. Take frequent breaks to collect yourself in private, using mindfulness practices that center on focus and mental agility.

Be careful about being too boisterous and chipper around people who don't exactly feel the same way, Libra. Be sensitive to other people's feelings, and don't make jokes that are too harsh for the occasion. No one appreciates a wise guy. There's a somber mood to the day that's likely to form a dark cloud by late afternoon. Do your best to be the ray of sunshine and not the bolt of lightning.

Stand back, look for options, be a ray of sunshine...big asks, but I will give it a whirl.  :)  Have a good Thursday.
