Peaceful start to November 2026

Deep sleep, vivid dreams last night.  Sun going down before 5 p.m. shortened my day - even more than my usual long mornings, short evenings day.  :)

Finished latest Eggers' this a.m.  Will drop that off at library on the front end of my walk today.  

Yesterday -  sibling call from sister #1 - she was up earlier than usual since she address all her "fall back" situations...except her coffeemaker :)...walked to Unionville and read were the balance of the day highlights.  Was late with my thank you, but texted the hostess for last Monday's great luncheon in MA.  

Today - Shoprite only run is my thought, walk, 3 p.m. FEN CDF.  Toying with the idea "to go" to NE FL DC.  Will see how I feel as the day goes on.  

If a friend or work colleague seems determined to fan the flames of disagreement this weekend, you must let them, and everyone else, know that you want no part of it. As a fair-minded Libra you detest “good guy” versus “bad guy” situations, and rightly so.

Indulge your extroverted side as the Leo Moon and Mars join forces, dearest Libra. Time with peers boosts vitality, charisma, and creativity, especially when you are surrounded by people determined to make a positive impact. Allow yourself to get fired up over causes or projects you're naturally passionate about when Jupiter and Venus rx activate later today. Your ability to generate excitement breathes life into goals you've been spearheading but haven't gained the traction you've pushed for. Life-altering collaborations are possible when Luna aspects the nodes of fate and Chiron, so be mindful of who you would like to work with, and don't hesitate to pitch ideas. 

It's very possible that you will want to take a step back today in order to take a closer look at your relationships. Your address book is full of names. Your phone rings off the hook. You receive tons of texts and emails every day. Yet isn't it funny that you feel alone? It's time to get rid of the superficial relationships and concentrate on those that really mean something to you.

I will be looking for the life-altering collaboration possibility...who will I carry with me?  :)  Have a good Monday.  
 

Incredibly peaceful night...surprisedly :)

My life dominoes lined up well yesterday.  Watched Boston Blue, good walk, finished off all the leftovers and can get back to food that makes sense for ME, not others but me.  New Eggers was just the book that could distract me from what noise I noticed on Main St. - which was very little.  Don't know if in the past I had not dropped the storm windows yet or it was a quieter crowd.  Whichever - A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING - Dave Eggers was all I needed to get to sleep.  3:53 a.m. as we speak.  So a good kick off to the dreaded time change week.  Sun will set before 5 p.m. tonight...  :/  Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.  

Talked to sister #4, she let it slip that sister #3 and wife and dog are planning to join us for Thanksgiving...we will see if that stays in place and I am glad to have some notice so I can prepare myself physically, mentally and emotionally.  I can do this.  

Today - walk to Unionville.  Nothing on my paper calendar.  56 degrees and sunny for walk time.  

Did scout out cranberry sauce at ALDI yesterday.  Too bad I can't go "off brand".  $1.39 for Sweet Harvest brand at ALDI, $1.99 on sale from $2.49 for Ocean Spray at Shoprite.  Will take a look at Stop & Shop.  I only am assigned rolls and cranberry sauce for my T'giving contribution.  Family knows my limits - mental and financial.  :)  Monthly financial report was a bit low...Friday seemed to be a bad market day.  Oh well.  I know I am in much better shape than others in the wide world.  

No more pics from son yet.  He and father will be moving toward the Chili Cook-off in Terlingua for the end of this week.  They will be judges one of the days.  Can't make son's life up.  

If you can find a way to bring a dispute to a harmonious end then do so. If, however, you have no choice but to declare one side the winner and the other side the loser then do that instead. Why should you care if anyone feels offended?

Surround yourself with inspiring and encouraging companions, dearest Libra, as Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus align. Recognize how your support network influences your ability to succeed, moving away from schemers who are too insecure to pursue their dreams while cheering for yours. Accountability pacts can help you stay on track as the Leo quarter Moon aspects Saturn this afternoon. Connect with ambitious peers to discuss your goals and set reasonable milestones to hit before the year ends. Clean up your online presence when Mercury Rx stirs tonight, especially if you're on the precipice of a major shift. 

Gossip and bad feelings among co-workers or in a group could occur today, and there might be some political shenanigans that it would be in your best interests to avoid. This isn't a good day to go to lunch with co-workers. Get away by yourself. Don't believe anything you hear. Chances are it isn't true. Keep to yourself and don't offer any opinions, Libra. To do so might be unfortunate.

Keep to myself and offer no opinions.  Completely fine with that and very do-able.  :)  Have a good Sunday.  First day of November 2026 - yikes.  

Parade Day :/

Had tried to schedule a trip out of town on this day in the past, but the last few years - just hunker down and know that "this too will pass" as to the wall to wall people in outfits jamming Main St and the surrounds for the parade.  Oh well.  

Yesterday - watched L&O shows, read, walked, swung by library to pick up book on hold on my way to massage.  Massage.  Worked through more of the company/landlady leftovers...will be good thing when I get back to my normal diet. Talked to sister #6.  She was off for her post work walk to the beach.  :)  

Today - watch Boston Blue, finish W&T book and drop at library, long walk, hunker down.  :)  Lights out, nobody home "face" to the street below.  Do monthly financial report.  

I thought this was an interesting take on this time of year...Halloween - another holiday we have taken in the wrong direction and focus.  :) From a newsletter I get:   "Samhain is the ancient Celtic festival marking the turn from the light half of the year to the dark half. Many believe that on this night the boundary between the living and the dead grows thin. Some people light bonfires on hilltops and others set a place at the table for loved ones who had died, welcoming their return rather than fearing it.  Centuries later, much of Samhain's shape survives, often unrecognized, inside Halloween: the costumes once meant to disguise the living from wandering spirits, the jack-o'-lanterns once meant to guide the dead home rather than frighten children. Underneath the candy and the costumes is an older instinct, the same one every tradition in this season seems to share: that the dead are closer at hand than we usually let ourselves feel, and that this closeness is not something to dread."

Great pics to my picture frame from son and his trip with his father.  They have covered a lot of ground in just a couple of days.  My son does plan a full trip itinerary.  :)  

If a friend or work colleague seems determined to fan the flames of disagreement this weekend, you must let them, and everyone else, know that you want no part of it. As a fair-minded Libra you detest “good guy” versus “bad guy” situations, and rightly so.

Money may be hidden in plain sight, dearest Libra, as the Cancer Moon aligns with Mercury Rx. This energy is perfect for selling unwanted valuables, going through your purses and jean pockets, or reworking business ideas that haven't taken off but you still believe in. Notice if you've been overly harsh with yourself recently once Venus Rx activates midafternoon, and work toward building yourself up instead. Consider if unhealthy romantic connections or professional environments are contributing to these issues when Chiron stirs this evening. Blow off steam and live your best life after Luna enters Leo tonight, priming you for a happy Halloween! 

 At the end of the day, you're the one who has to look in the mirror and know who you are, Libra. Think about this the next time you're tempted to make a rude comment or spread a displeasing fact about someone else. One side of you may be able to rationalize behavior that the other side simply despises. Today look at both of sides of yourself, not just the one that pleases you.

Will try and spend some quality time - with myself.  :)  Have a good Saturday.  

Full but low activity day :)

This picture hit me as I am trying to figure out what idea it is that I am rallying around...body was not too active yesterday, but mind certainly was.  Dreams were.  Interesting time during this "dreaded" Oct 15-Jan 15 time.  No in-person people in my day yesterday. FEN O&E Cmte meeting in the afternoon.  I say that but then I remember I ran into - 3 different groups of people outside of LaSalle Market as I wrapped up my walk. :)  One couple had the answer to a question I had since the chicken pot pie dinner, one commiserated with me re "people", another asked me if I had seen the auditorium reno progress at former school #2...I guess that was a people active block.  :)  

Other than that yesterday - watched my Chicago shows, walk, FEN meeting, great leftovers from landlady (peas and pasta dish landlord makes), cookies she made, strawberries that TX/NM friend left behind.  I have too much to eat in my apt as we speak.  VERY interesting situation in my apt.  Maybe that is why dreams are particularly active.  Body is being asked to process lots more as I sleep.  :)

Today - watch L&O shows, walk, massage/pick up book that is on hold at library. The nerd reich : Silicon Valley fascism and the war on democracy  Recommended to me when I was on my Eggers dystopia, Silicon Valley whistleblower phase.  :)  Can do my monthly financial report later today or tomorrow. And making a mental plan on how to approach the town Halloween Parade that will take over my street and go to all hours tomorrow.  Oh well.  :/

What you see and hear today may be worrying but in the greater scheme of things it is of no real significance, so don’t get wound up about it. There are always bad things going on in the world but that does not mean you are personally responsible.

A dip in motivation or energy may have forced you to slow down over the past couple of days, dearest Libra. Give yourself permission to switch gears and connect with loved ones while Venus Rx aligns with the nodes of fate. Resilience is sustained when you take time to appreciate the fruits of your labor. As the Scorpio Sun and Cancer Moon align, indulge in simple pleasures, trusting that more blessings and success are on the way. Take a breather from dynamics that have felt stagnant or restrictive as Saturn activates, and reflect on whether you need to set new boundaries. Review your online shopping habits as Mercury Rx and Mars square off, and highlight issues around impulsive spending. 

Emotions may cloud your thoughts as things start to heat up in a heavy way, Libra. In an effort to keep things light and energetic, you may be missing the core of the situation. Don't glance too quickly over all the issues. The answer to the riddle is right there in front of you. Stop for a minute to catch your breath and you will find the solutions that you seek.

Light and energetic, new boundaries, riddle answers, no worry about online shopping or any other shopping.  :)  Have a good Friday.  

Powering through :)

This has been a vibrant October with colors.  And active.  And...expansive.  Not sure about that last word, but my small slice of the world that I interact with on a daily basis has seemed bigger. (Sort of like that warning in the side mirrors of a car)  :)  Will spend some time with that thought on my walk today.  

Yesterday - cleaned apt, watched NCIS NY, walked with family friend (made a plan to go to Parkville Market next Wed for lunch and then AC Petersen's for ice cream - THEN the b'day will wrap officially for 2026)  :) , EOLD, Shake Shack lunch with swimming lady, she drove me over, I walked back.  Then GA DC.  Got out of DC to find text from TX/NM friend.  She had arrived back in NM Tuesday night, then in the car at 5:17 a.m. Mountain time to head back to TX.  Her message came in at 7:36 p.m. Eastern time.  11 hr 45 min road trip.  Her next trip might be Mexico.  She and husband have gone to Mexico to the beach for decades for Thanksgiving.  With kids until a few years ago.  Meeting up with friends and their families.  We will see if they go or not this year.  Lots going on in their TX/NM lives as we speak.  But she lives life much bigger than I do.  :)  Not a big "club" who lives as small as I do.  :)

Today - watch my Chicago shows, walk, FEN O&E (blog) Cmte meeting.  Nothing else on paper calendar.  (but paper calendar is sitting on a cleaned up and wiped down table top in my office!).  Was drawn to cleaning it yesterday.  Would love to get a bit deeper into W&T book club book.  Last week has not been reading supportive.  :)  The read I have been enjoying is The Demographic Edge/Joseph Coughlin.  Nothing - in my mind - should be decided without doing some people counting/age analysis.  His column yesterday "Built to Last, Staffed by Whom?"  This sentence hit me - Demographic projections can’t tell a CEO where to build the next factory. They can reveal what conventional investment analysis may miss: how much the population beneath today’s assumptions will change over the life of the asset.  Hope decision makers are counting, looking at human "pipeline".  

As one of the zodiac’s Air signs you possess plenty of common sense, but what you see or hear today could turn your head and lead to you making a decision you may regret. While your ruler Venus is moving retrograde you cannot afford to take risks.

Don't stay cooped up while the Gemini Moon and Jupiter align this morning, dearest Libra. Venture out to socialize, and you will likely find yourself in the right place at the right time. Keep an open mind and follow through on any connections or ideas that stand apart from others to maximize these auspicious vibes. You may also see an opportunity to revive old projects or collaborations once Venus rx, the nodes of fate, and Chiron activate later today. Bring order to goals you're intuitively drawn to after Luna enters Cancer this evening. Just try not to let optimism get in the way of practical planning when Neptune grows restless tonight, or you will quickly become overstretched. 

Emotions may cloud your thoughts as things start to heat up in a heavy way, Libra. In an effort to keep things light and energetic, you may be missing the core of the situation. Don't glance too quickly over all the issues. The answer to the riddle is right there in front of you. Stop for a minute to catch your breath and you will find the solutions that you seek.

Sounds like another Stop, Look and Listen day...wish me luck.  Have a good Thursday.  

Week is still rolling... :)

Thought I would be "alone again naturally" as a song says once TX/NM friend pulled off Main St yesterday, but no such luck.  Swimming lady chose today Wednesday to go to Shake Shack for her first time and would I join her...  The good news I can just power through this week and then start November back on my usual routine of walking and eating.  TX/NM friend left me MORE leftovers from her grocery shopping.  :)  

So yesterday - watched FBI, ran dishwasher, went to Shoprite for a $18.22/$14.57, 9 item day.  Went for a short walk.  Met TX/NM friend at the apt. She used my apt's dumpster for trash and recycling drop off.  Then she was off to airport.  She left at 3:15 p.m. eastern time, got to ABQ at 9:25 p.m. mountain time...Eastern time to Mountain Time yesterday to Central time today...  Long day yesterday and 12 hour drive today. Yikes!  Then I went for a mid range walk.  Back in time for 1 p.m. CA DC.  In bed reading at 7 p.m.!  No time zone change for me. 

Son will be doing a time change today - he and his father are off to El Paso TX and then their 10 day trip.  Son assures me he will send some pics to my picture frame.  :)

I am loving our W&T book club book.  Annie Dillard - "An American Childhood more than takes the reader's breath away. It consumes you as you consume it, so that, when you have put down this book, you're a different person, one who has virtually experienced another childhood."  Love all the phrases that bounced around her family home.  

Today - we will see if I get apt cleaned before walk with family friend.  Then EOLD - Where Does a Death Doula Fit In the Aging Care Team? with Natalie Adewunmi at noon. Then Shake Shack lunch at 1:30 p.m. with swimming lady. I will walk back home from lunch.  Then GA DC at 7 p.m.  Good day ahead assisted by the incredibly wonderful weather we have been experiencing.  

Balance of week - FEN blog committee meeting tomorrow, massage Friday, and the "dreaded" town Halloween Parade -https://collinsvillehalloween.com/ -  on Saturday.  I will hunker down, keep lights off, fall back on the clocks and just look to November 1 and the time change adjustment week ahead.  Again more of the Oct 15 to Jan 15 land mine time period.  :)

You might want to believe that friends and family members are thinking along the same lines as you, but that’s very unlikely. In fact, you could find they go out of their way to change your mind on a subject of major importance. Don’t let them.

Efforts to sidestep drama will no longer sustain the peace, dearest Libra. As Venus rx and Chiron face off, try to see the value in hashing out issues so you can actually resolve them. Letting bad behavior slide will only brew resentment. Also, loved ones won't feel inspired to change if they don't know their actions have upset you. Luckily, as the Moon moves through socially perceptive Gemini, it will be easier for others to understand where you're coming from. Luna forms soft aspects with Saturn and Mars tonight, offering an opportunity to restructure relationships by setting boundaries that foster mutual respect.

Decisions regarding investments, savings, or other financial matters might need attention today, Libra. Don't panic. You're in the right frame of mind for this. Your business sense is at an all-time high, as is your ability to focus on the task at hand. Intuition plays a strong role. Even if you don't feel like it, it's important to get this done. Tomorrow you might not be quite as focused as you are today.

Hmmm....I will keep myself in the "stop, look and listen" mode as I move through today.  I might not be the only one working through stuff - as to people, places and things.  :)  Have a good Wednesday.  

Chore schedule :)

I did get clothes washed yesterday, no walk, ride to and back from Cambridge, GREAT food - chicken pot pie again and apple walnut cake with maple syrup whipped cream..., home in time for ZEN DC.  So little reading over the last few days.  Today after TX/NM friend swings by to drop off trash/recycling for my dumpster/bins, and some food for me, I will see about reestablishing equilibrium.  "Equilibrium means a state of balance or stability where opposing forces, influences, or actions cancel each other out, resulting in no net change".  I will not complain if I end up in a change up and to the right, but I can find comfort in no net change.  :)  This time of people and things to do over the last week has felt very guided and led - only one night of overnight company, did not have to turn the heat on due to good weather, meals felt right, sleep felt right, did not miss any of my paper calendar events.  Incredible guided meditation on Sunday which pretty much pushed the reset button for me.  Think I mentioned it yesterday, but it was worth two mentions if I did.  I will be doing some readjusting next week on the dreaded post time change week.  Why do we continue doing this to ourselves.  Oh well.  

Weather has continued to be my friend!  Incredible as I saw a bit of news from southern parts of West and East coasts.  Today will be another good one.  Plan for the day - Shoprite/ALDI run.  Very limited needs with all the food leftovers/gifts.  Walk a bit.  Visit with TX/NM friend before she heads to airport. Then a bit more walk.  Then CA DC.  Then a bit more walk.  Nothing on my paper calendar except the CA DC. 

Will reach out to swimming lady who wants to go to Shake Shake for her first time.  Reach out to a college friend who I did not hear from after I sent b'day wishes...hope she is OK.  She was battling some stuff.  Start getting myself ready for next "adventure" - Thanksgiving at sister #1's.  AND it is massage Friday this week - she will have lots of work to do.  :)  Will hope to hear from son before he and his father head to West Texas for their adventure.   Son found one of his old "go-pros" so there will be a video for this trip.  

If people you work with are too scared to start something new, that’s up to them, but don’t let their fears hold you back. The Sun in your sign gives you a high degree of protection when it comes to taking calculated risks, so why worry?

Seek meaningful interactions without becoming overly familiar, dearest Libra. You'll crave connection that scratches beneath the surface while the Taurus Moon aspects Mercury Rx, Jupiter, and the nodes of fate, but others may be slow to open up. Now is also a good time to review the terms of any new commitments you're considering, but hold off on deciding for now. Major news could trickle in and shift your perspective once Luna enters Gemini this evening, helping you avoid costly mistakes. Follow your heart and enjoy playful exchanges with the people you love as Neptune and Pluto activate tonight.

Emotions stemming from past experiences might cause you to assume undue responsibilities, particularly concerning family members. This is fine as long as you realize what you're doing is as much for you as for the other person. Whatever tasks you assume may allow you to release old traumas and give form to your plans and ambitions. And don't be surprised if those you help today go to bat for you later.

No plan for risk taking :), no problem for not making any big decisions right away :), release old traumas - I will take any of that :).  ANOTHER great gift bag from cousin (more peeps) and great card from dear friends in NC.  Set the table for good end of day yesterday when I got home to my mailbox.  Will take that all that good energy into my day today.  Have a good Tuesday.  

Winding down. Phew!

Sister #6, her daughter and a cousin's daughter met for a sec in NYC yesterday.  Lots of people covering a lot of ground over the last few days in my world.  Yikes.  But today we are closing in on "back to normal".  Wish me luck.  

Yesterday - sister #4 and I were off to LaSalle for breakfast.  Then a walk.  TX/NM friend was off with her brother.  Her sister showed up on Main St just as sister #4 was pulling out to head home.  She took her parking spot and she and I sat outside LaSalle while she had a snack and we enjoyed another incredible day of weather.  Then I headed to apt for Death Sangha.  Incredible guided meditation.  The facilitator hit the nail on the head for me in making that our activity.  Then I did a walk - but only to Burlington versus Unionville.  Had already done 3 miles with sister #4 earlier.  I was done outside for the day and got ready for Albany CA DC.  Great day of input. 

Today - TX/NM will be over to pick me up at 9:15 a.m. and we will pick up our passenger and head to MA to see an old time friend.  Passenger is her SIL.  Fingers crossed for no road construction or traffic as we head north and east.  ZEN DC tonight which I will hope to be home for.  Think it will work.  

Sister #4 shared that the word on the street of late is niece #2 is moving back east after a decade or so in California.  We will see if that materializes.  That will be very interesting for sister #1/mother.

Shocks to the system could brew insecurities, darling Libra, due to a harsh aspect between the Scorpio Sun and Pluto. Whether you're dealing with missed opportunities, financial woes, or a broken heart, try not to let these disappointments affect how you see yourself. Be mindful of how you seek comfort as you navigate these choppy cosmic tides. Avoid overspending and unhealthy indulgences, since compulsive behaviors are hard to stop once they start. Luckily, the Taurus Moon strengthens your resolve if you maintain a steadfast devotion to empowerment and self-improvement. Watch out for peer pressure when Luna squares Mars this evening, and remember that true friends won't sabotage your progress.  

Past impressions that you may not even know you have could enhance your ability to deal with practical matters today, Libra. You might need to handle some paperwork regarding a settlement of some kind. The thoughts and feelings of those closest to you are more apparent than usual. You may tailor your behavior toward them accordingly. Spend a quiet evening with your loved ones. You won't even need to talk.

My other cosmic guidance not posted yet...  :)  Will look later.  Road trip, visit, home by 7:30 p.m. I have had a very supportive few days that could have been chaotic.  Stayed within myself while still mixing and mingling within a comfortable range of motion.  Keep the good thought for today.  Have a good Monday.  

Up until 10 p.m....that should tell the story of yesterday :)

This saying was in my stoic weekly email yesterday.  Spoke to me as I was starting a very peopled, front-facing day.  How people define self-actualization was a good way to start.  

After my morning routine on the computer, I took a walk around the block and waited for sisters #4,6 to arrive and then down to LaSalle for lunch and then cupcakes that sister #4 brought up.  Sat outside on the picnic table in the sun then headed to the high school for the athletic complex dedications in the name of two family friends.  One older - 89 yrs old and still alive, and one younger, 65 when she died two years ago.  Older honoree - I babysat for her kids, godmother to her youngest son who I saw yesterday.  Long history with their family, very little contact of late.  I borrowed a snow shovel from her husband in 2006...still have it.  :)

We walked up to the school, then I walked back with sister #6 who needed to take off to go to her daughter's for an NYC trip today.  Then I walked back up to school to watch some of the field hockey game with sister #4, then we walked back to apt and then head to gathering at family home of the younger honoree.  Did not get home until 10-ish!  

Today - meet up with TX/NM friend depending on her family activities.  Walk with sister #4?  Everything up in the air but I will hope to get to Death Sangha at 1 p.m. and then will get to Albany CA DC at 7 p.m.  Tomorrow of to Boston area.  TX/NM friend leaves on Tuesday.  Will be lots of unwinding for me to do on Wednesday.  :)  

Do you tell the truth and risk hurting a loved one’s feelings, or do you twist the facts so it’s not such a shock to their system? The full moon makes the answer crystal clear: Give it to them straight now or they will suffer more later on.

Venus retrogrades back into your sign this morning, dear Libra, stirring up uncertainties around love, money, and your public image. Curb negative thoughts that cloud your judgment, breaking cycles that cause you to be overly harsh with yourself. Loved ones swoop in to improve your outlook, thanks to sweet connections between the Aries Moon, Jupiter, nodes of fate, Chiron, and Venus rx. As family and friends shower you with compliments and encouragement, trust that their kindness is authentic and deserved. The Taurus Full Moon rises this evening, forming a tense square with Pluto. Though you may be eager to secure romantic or professional commitments, now might not be the best time to push such agendas. 

Upsetting news that you receive from far away, perhaps by phone or email, could send you into an emotional tailspin. There's an aura of uncertainty about what you hear - it may not make sense. Before you pass along the news or panic, Libra, make sure you know all the facts. You're likely to find that it's been blown all out of proportion. In view of this, you deserve a fun evening.

Will watch my mood today.  Full moon.  Straight talking.  Let's hope I do make the Sangha.  :)  Have a good Sunday.  

Can't see the ocean for the people, but good pic :)

Weather has been a gift during all the people time.  I have spent as much time outside as possible.  

So yesterday - watch L&O shows, walked to library to drop off Bronte book - couldn't soldier on with it/and picked up another Eggers and Paper girl : a memoir of home and family in a fractured America ..., talked to former Houston co-worker on my walk, met up and walked with TX/NM friend, she headed off to her massage, I headed out for another walk.  So pretty much left apt at 9 a.m. and got back at 2:30 p.m.  Had my stuffed pepper from landlady (who also left some cookies for sister visit today).  Called it a day.  

Today - Watch All-In, Boston Blue, waiting for sisters #4, 6 to arrive if #6 has not reconsidered and simplified her day by choosing not to come here but go directly to daughter's for their trip to see a Broadway play tomorrow.  We will see.  Field dedication at school for family friend who died last year is at 2:15 p.m.  We will go to LaSalle for some lunch before, sisters will go up to gathering after at friend's sister's house.  I will pass on that.  Don't know yet if anybody is staying with me tonight.  

I might swing by store tomorrow since we are off to Boston area on Monday.  TX/NM friend leaves on Tuesday.  I will recircle my wagons on Tuesday afternoon.  :)

You may dislike being told what to do by someone you don’t respect, but if you think about it you will realize they are right and that, on this occasion, they could be doing you a favor. Good advice is good advice no matter where it comes from.

Curb impulsive shopping throughout the coming weeks, dearest Libra, taking note of any triggers you'd normally resolve with retail therapy. Cleaning up your finances should be a top priority as Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio, especially if you've accumulated debt. Don't let shame deter you from thoroughly examining your monthly bank and credit card statements. Though this process may feel rough at first, you'll gain a sense of control when the Aries Moon and Saturn unite. If you're seriously struggling with the fallout of irresponsible spending, consider joining a support group when Luna and Mars align midafternoon. 

If you've been planning a long trip by air, Libra, today you might doubt whether you should continue with your plans. Money or safety might be the issues. Be aware that your fears may run away with you. The situation may be more secure than it appears. You might want to attend an online class or lecture, perhaps on computer science or some other technology. As with the vacation plans, try to view this objectively.

Will keep mind and ears open today to see what comes to me.  No worry on shopping.  No retail therapy for me.  Retail trauma is more like it. No travel plans or trauma. :)  Have a good Saturday.  

Lots came to mind...

Waiting for my beach picture from yesterday but in its stead I send one "from our balcony" from NC friends. Beach was the word of the day. I am reliant on sister or TX/NM friend to send me the pics taken yesterday, but were sent to everyone's phones...you know where that leaves the pictures for me...black flip phone hole.  Will see if I get it this a.m. to my email.  So much got my attention yesterday, but but I got caught on "next time sun will set after 6 p.m. is...March 14, 2027.  Yikes.  That gave me pause. So that landed with me as a "live in the present, make the most of the sunlight" mood for yesterday.  :)

23 incoming as to wishes for the day, down to 26% memory on my phone after walk #2.  Good day.  Up early if you can notice the time stamp from yesterday's post, but got all my Chicago shows watched and I was ready to go when TX/NM friend came to pick me up, then pick up her sister and BIL, then headed to the beach.  GREAT walk on beach, sister #4 met us a few minutes in, then to Lenny & Joe's for GREAT lunch.  My first lobster roll of 2026.  Ride back home, and it was beautiful out I went for another walk.  Finally took my sneakers off at 6 p.m.  Felt like I was getting a pedicure on walk #2 with the sand in my sneakers, but left what was left of the sand on the back stairway before I headed to the shower.  :)  AND landlady had left me a stuffed pepper on my stoop.  Dinner for tonight!  I did treat myself to 6 rather 5 cookies as my dessert.  Another year with the bad but adored store baked cake with bad frosting.  :)  But good day.  TX/NM friend and her sister/BIL were off to meet another group at 6 p.m. for dinner...I passed on that.  SOOOO over my quota for people and travel in one day OR month for that matter.  And I need to get ready for next influx on Saturday.  :)  Very apt that I ran in to PD buddy at town hall parking lot at end of walk #2 as the cap for my day.  California niece closed out the outreach at 7:03 p.m. 

Today TX/NM is meeting a friend this a.m., will call me about walking after that.  No other plan for the day except to watch L&O shows. :)

The Sun leaves your sign today but that does not mean life will grind to a halt. On the contrary, there will be plenty of opportunities to keep the momentum going, and your main task will be to make sure it takes you in the right direction.

Scorpio season kicks off early this morning, darling Libra, highlighting your relationship with money, emotional security, and material goods. Your priorities may shift as you begin to prioritize stability and empowerment. Supportive relationships will play a significant role in your willingness to take initiative once the Moon enters Aries this afternoon. If your closest companions don't inspire you to fight for more, review shared and individual goals in an effort to rev each other up. Exciting developments come on quickly if you follow your instincts this evening, thanks to sweet aspects between Luna, Pluto, and Uranus. Give neglected valuables a second life when the Sun and Venus rx unite tonight. 

A sudden and unexpected opportunity to take a journey by air could come your way today, Libra. This might be something you've wanted for a long time finally manifesting. Certainly, adventure is in the air, although it might be mental adventure as much as physical. Some information could come your way that catapults you into a new and exciting field of interest. This promises to be a thoroughly stimulating day.

Was not looking for stimulating today after yesterday, but we will see.  Keep my eye on the prize, passion project...but stay present.  Lots to ponder on many levels. Another "where did this week go" week. :)  Have a good Friday.  

It will be a day. :)

Here we go again.  Part of my Oct 15-Jan 15 land mine event line up.  Have to smile when I look back at what I wrote last year.  AGAIN the thought passed my mind to buy a store baked cake with hideous frosting (which I love) and once again I stopped myself.  Sister #6 hinted that there might be some cake coming to town on Saturday.  We will see.  

Yesterday - Watched NCIS NY, cleaned apt, walked with family friend, EOLD, back and forth with niece #1 about a Duke basketball player whose family is friends of sister #6.  I know niece cannot not say "D" out loud in her household, but just in case the kid gets any press in the area.  :)  Talked to sister #4.  She will be TX/NM friend and I at beach today for lunch.  Will give her the signal when we land there.  TX/NM friend arrived in the state, rented a car so all good with transport, met up with a friend for dinner and headed to the condo she will be staying at.  I still am not sure if I have any sisters here for Saturday night.  Game day decision.

Today - watch Chicago shows, beach, lunch...no other plan.  As I shared with family friend - I will buckle in and ride out the weekend.  :)

There will be major upheavals at home and at work over the coming year but every last one of them will be to your long-term benefit. Resolve to be positive each and every day and look for the silver lining in every cloud. It may even be gold!

If you spend the day thinking about what you have done over the past month or so you will be in a great position to do more and do better over the next few weeks. That applies to all areas of your life but especially to your money situation.

You might struggle to make your mark this morning, dearest Libra, as the Pisces Moon and Mars form an unbalanced aspect. Though you'll feel keenly aware of how dazzling and brilliant certain peers have become, these revelations could also stir insecurities. Instead of trying to keep up with people who seem to have more talent or experience, work on sharpening your own skills. It's possible your enthusiasm has caused you to skip ahead, when you should be developing your craft. Educational breakthroughs find you once Luna and Mercury align this evening, especially when you prioritize hands-on learning.

A career goal you've been hoping to reach may seem uncertain now, Libra. You could be wondering if your work has gone for naught. Don't think this way. There's a lot going on behind the scenes that you aren't aware of yet. When you hear about these developments, you will know that you're still in the running. Don't waste your whole day thinking about work. Try to relax. Tomorrow it may all come together.

I do feel some undercurrents, just out of sight type things happening.  I do have my passion project.  And I do think it will see sunlight.  Gold?  We will see.  Have a good Thursday while I enjoy the sand and surf - from the shore.  :)

I threw in the towel early yesterday :)

Surprise, surprise - I overthought a few things yesterday and closed up my machine early - missing both IOWA DC and Death Sangha.  Guess the weekend ahead is keeping me from being present in the moment.  Oh well, but this too will pass.  Just sent TX/NM friend Willie Nelson song - Energy Follows Thought.  Lots of moving parts to her visit this week per her email from yesterday.  

Yesterday - Watched FBI.  Ran dishwasher, walk, ran into PD buddy who was off on a sick day but needed some fresh air, CA DC and then I passed on evening schedule.  Had turned off my laptop before the message that IOWA was last night and not Thursday as facilitator's email said a few days back.  But I am thinking that I needed to shutdown.  :)  

Today - Checked TX/NM flight info.  All on time as we speak. Clean apt.  Watch NCIS:NY. Walk with family friend.  EOLD at noon.  Nothing else on paper calendar.  

Thursday - being picked up to head to beach for beach walk and seafood lunch with TX/NM friend and sister #4 and maybe cousin.  Nothing else on my paper calendar until Saturday.  Radio silence from sister #4 & 6 re this weekend.  As to when/if they will be arriving and/or they will be staying with me. Will have to figure out when I will watch my Wednesday shows.   Shows do not speak well to my high-brow thinking, but they all are a bit of "calgon take me away" frame of mind.  :)

Post next Tuesday I have very kind offers of Shake Shack and Parkville Market "linners" to help in my re-entry to quiet life - Good way to move into November.  

There may be no limits to what you are capable of, but that does not mean you should try to do it all in one mad rush. Neptune’s influence could get your thoughts a bit mixed up over the next 24 hours, so err on the side of caution.

The Sun is highly active in your sign today, dearest Libra, aligning with the nodes of fate and Chiron. You'll become increasingly aware of how certain connections shape your outlook and identity, which can help you pick and choose how you are impacted. Gravitate toward people who elate and inspire you, doing your part to share your own unique traits. An orderly energy comes into focus as the Pisces Moon aligns with Venus rx and Uranus, asking you to consider what it will take to manifest your best life. Establish sustainable habits that will act as stepping stones to your hopes and dreams. 

Although your financial situation appears to be on the upswing, you still might be feeling pessimistic and indifferent about money and life in general. You might want to soothe your discontent by overspending, overindulging in food or drink, or both. Don't let this feeling get the better of you, Libra. Get together with some friends, if possible, and have a good time. Treat yourself to a little something without going over the top!

I am so not known for breakneck speed in my non-work setting.  The next 5 days will find me on alert as to what or what not to get involved in.  Orderly energy toward those who elate and inspire me. No worry on the overspending or overindulging.  That is not where I live, but I will certainly be in the company of "high live-ers" the next few days.  Always interesting for me to watch.  :)  Have a good Wednesday.

Well that was a Monday!!!

This picture from my cousin's trip to the beach in Sept - it will be my locale on Thursday.  The whirlwind starts tomorrow.  Luckily I will have until Thursday to get involved.  TX/NM friend will land in town tomorrow night.  Pick me up on Thursday a.m. to head to the beach for the day and lunch at Lenny & Joe's.  Meeting up with sister #4 and maybe now, my cousin.  It is going to be sunny and 60's so weather is doing its part to assist in the people weekend.  

Yesterday - I changed up my route to land me at the library toward the end of my walk so I could pick up my Nov W&T book.  And that set off a chain of events.  :)  But first things first - $17.43/$7.71 Shoprite and $11.09 at ALDI.  Butter, cheese - "PERKS"  :)  Now that TX/NM is staying somewhere else, I did not need to stock up on anything.   Whew.  Washed clothes.  Headed out for walk at 10 a.m., did not get back until 12:30 p.m.  Met the lady who helped me with some money stuff back in 2024.  She lives on one of my routes and she is taking care of her grandson on Mondays and Wednesdays and she was out for a walk.  I added a bit to my route, but fun walking with her.  Of course I ran into PD and workmen on her street.  Replacing 100+ yr water pipes proactively is a big thing in my town of late.  Then I ran into the lady who is going with TX/NM friend and I to Cambridge MA on Oct 26.  THEN I finally got to the library and picked up An American childhood by Annie Dillard.  Working my way through what was the last book on my bedside - THIS DARK NIGHT: Emily Brontë, a Life, by Deborah Lutz.  

In the in between times - happened on Dr. Christopher Kerr interview on The Diary of a CEO.  GREAT interview.  And when I sent that to one DC person, she sent me back this one from Hospice Nurse Julie...another great listen.  AND then this from family friend who I walk with on Wednesday who volunteers her time at one of our town cemeteries and where our family friend is being buried this weekend.  "Chris and I met Shelly up at the cemetery this morning to discuss Nancy's placement. After Shelly left Chris and I watched an eagle circle us overhead for 5-10 minutes. I figure it was Nancy."  You know I loved that thought.  Then a great Mettle discussion about last Friday's webinar and then PA DC where there were some new faces of people taking one of the UVM death and dying courses.  Going to a DC is one of their homework assignments.  :)  Then I called it a day!  

Today - run dishwasher, walk, CA DC, IOWA DC, Death Sangha is the plan.  Will see what comes into my day today.  Felt very "led and guided" yesterday by people, places and things.  Changed my walk route for one reason - and it was like a kaleidoscope as one turn changed the entire picture for my day.  :)

It might be a smart move to take a look at your finances, especially if you have been free and easy with the credit cards of late. Do it now rather than at the end of the week when the Sun moves into the financial area of your chart.

You might struggle to stay motivated today, dealing Libra, as Venus rx and Pluto square off. A sense that progress has stalled casts disenchanting shadows all around you, taking some of the wind out of your sails. Rather than shaming yourself for feeling off, give yourself permission to wallow just a bit. It will be difficult to see silver linings while the Aquarius Moon squares Mercury, but peering into the darkness will allow you to resolve issues you've been avoiding. Cut loose to shake off stagnancy when Luna opposes Jupiter, making a vow to greet tomorrow with an improved outlook.

 This is a terrific day for you, Libra, and you will glow brightly from head to toe as you radiate your true inner self to the world. You will find profound joy in the simplest, most ordinary circumstances. If you run out of things to say, feel free to whistle a tune. This isn't likely to happen today, since you will overflow with things to talk about.

Feeling mixed messages from my cosmic guidance this a.m....I think I squeeze blood out of the day-to-day money turnip even though I know the big picture is not that strong.  I have never been free and easy with money but I also let fear of what if's keep me from making the best moves over the years, but I am old so steady works for me now.  I will hope the spirit of yesterday will carry me through today.  :)  Have a good Tuesday.  

The start of a different week for me :)

I am trying to deeply embed the "let life come to me" motto for this week.  So many of the things I thought would be "issue-esque" have smoothed themselves out without my intervention...wish I had learned that lesson 70 years ago.  :)  

TX/NM friend arrived in NM yesterday after 11.5 hour ride.  She will fly out here on Wednesday.  I will see her on Thursday when we head to Hammonasset for beach walk and L&J's.  She will be staying at friend's condo the entire stay.  She will have a rental car.  We will go to Boston area a week from today to see an old friend and bring with us friend's sister in law who she has not seen since her brother died 8 years ago.  Yikes.  Bien emocional!  So I can stay on my own until Thursday this week.  Phew. 

Yesterday - Sibling call and mention of a Paraguayan musician at Berklee. Friend we are going to see in Boston, her husband has been a teacher there since the '70's.  Can't wait to bring that up when we are up there.  Walked to Unionville.  Dropped storm windows on the two windows I was holding out for.  Want the apt as warm as possible - without turning the heat on - for sisters this weekend coming up.  And all my chore days will be done before anybody gets here.  I will be playing catch-up next week.  :)

Today - wash clothes, Shoprite/ALDI combo day to take advantage of some perks for things I do use from Shoprite.  Drop off The Original at library.  Need to remind myself tomorrow to pick up Nov W&T book.  Mettle discussion.  PA DC.  Tonight is the town tri-board meeting, kick off for budget discussion for FY28.  I will stay away keeping to my pledge not to care.  I watched the paint dry last cycle...too painful for me.  

Saw a former co worker yesterday on my walk.  She wants to meet and walk...will send her some date possibilities.  Told her it would be after the company period.  :)  

The Sun leaves your sign later this week, and when it does, it won’t be so easy to complete a task that has been dragging on too long. So get your act together and focus on it to the exclusion of everything else. It could be now or never.

You'll grow frustrated by stalled progress that forces you to go backwards, dearest Libra. As the Aquarius Moon aligns with Pluto, Venus rx, and Uranus, past mistakes require addressing. Whether you skipped steps or blew through tasks, revisiting these errors could have unforeseen benefits. Rather than begrudging mundane work, allow yourself to slow down and have a look around. It's possible that in your haste you glossed over bigger opportunities, which you now have a chance to seize. Thoughts drift toward romance when Saturn stirs midafternoon, but you'll need a consistent partner to feel safe. Impromptu invitations might tempt you to enjoy an evening on the town when Luna opposes Mars, but doing so may trigger burnout. 

By being around negative and flip people, you might inadvertently pick up these habits. Be careful about your associates, Libra, because you will find that others judge you according to the company you keep, especially if you start talking like them. Make sure to maintain a respectful attitude and proper manners no matter who your company is.

Hmmm...sounds like a day ahead.  Wish me luck.  Let life come to me...fingers crossed.  Have a good Monday.  

Church supper "linner"

Great card from someone who lives on the beach.  :)  Part of the group who will be descending on town weekend of 24th.  TX/NM friend will be staying for her whole visit at the vacant home of the family friend who died last year and for whom people are coming to town on 24th.  Honoring her with dedication of our town high school athletic fields complex.  Her sister is keeping her condo for her retirement living option while she currently lives in their family home which she purchased from her siblings when her mother died.  Many I know have lots of real estate.  I have passed on that in my lifetime except one time in TX when I think we are the only people to lose money on RE in Texas in the 90's.  Oh well.  

Yesterday - watched All-In and Boston Blue.  Walk to Shoppes.  Chicken Pot Pie dinner at local church where family friend I walk with goes.  Ran into her daughter.  She was transporting take-out for her family.  A bit of memory lane in the church hall.  Informative to the swimming lady who went with me - and drove us there.  LA DC when I got home.  AND loving my latest book - The Original.  Might have to check out another of author's books - Vanessa and Her Sister by Priya Parmar is a historical fiction novel published in 2015 that explores the early adult lives and complex bond between the gifted painter Vanessa Bell and her sister, the writer Virginia Woolf (then Virginia Stephen)

Today walk to Unionville.  Nothing on paper calendar.  

Venus, your ruler, squares up to passion planet Pluto this week, so you need to be careful when dealing with matters of the heart. If your feelings for someone get so feverish that you can’t even sleep you may need to rein in your emotions a bit.

You won't be in the mood to clean up other people's messes, dearest Libra. Loved ones may be especially helpless and needy under the Capricorn quarter Moon, but that doesn't entitle them to your help. Offer advice to those who seem lost, but leave them to carry out tasks. Watch out for guilt trips when Chiron grows restless later today, standing firm in your position. Have a personal goal to focus on if you need a distraction. The atmosphere shifts once Luna enters Aquarius, bringing a more playful ambiance to the table. Enjoy an easy and romantic night when Neptune stirs. 

Discipline and a solid plan are your friends today, Libra. Slow your approach and consider the consequences of your actions. This is the time to concentrate on what you need to get done and devise a plan to make it happen. There is restlessness in the air that might cause you to act hastily. Don't forget the old saying that says haste makes waste. This is an important lesson.

No haste for me today.  No schedule.  Feeling settled about how "life came to me" as to how visitors are fitting in to the week ahead.  No need for orchestration.  Relief.  :)  Have a good Sunday.  

Last day of a quiet week

Started my day today at 3:33 a.m.  Will see what action I am drawn to.  I have mixed feeling about the week ahead, but today I will enjoy the quiet but with a chicken pot pie dinner at family friend's church with one of the swimming ladies.  Sorry I mentioned it when I thought there would be a quilt raffle included in the event...but now just pie which is fine with me but I would have not mentioned it to the swimming ladies without the quilt piece...oh well.  Luckily I have a LA DC at 6:30 p.m. so it will be "early bird special" timing - 4:30 p.m. and eat and get home.

Yesterday - watched my Thursday shows.  Walked.  Mettle webinar.  Got a dry walk in before a very wet afternoon.  :)  Talked to sister #6.  She is still coming up next Saturday as of yesterday.  She did fall again this week...  Told her that she might want to slow it down but her schedule for weekend of Oct 24 does not reflect any "slow".  Friday after work or Saturday a.m. - 3 hr drive to my town, go to town event where family friend is being honored, Saturday night or Sunday a.m. drive to her daughter an hour away, get on train, to to NYC for a play and then Sunday night drive 3 hours back home...  Will see if that plan sticks.  Luckily with her fall, she did not break her fall with the wrist she broke and had to have surgery on earlier this year...Yikes. 

Today - watch Boston Blue.  Embarrassed to say I watch it but it's like a car wreck, can't look away.  Walk, Chicken pot pie.  LA DC.  Enjoying my latest book - The Original - A Novel - By Priya Parmar.  Novel, nonfiction?  I am having trouble with where this book came from, but am still enjoying it.  

Sounds like TX/NM friend will be staying in the condo of a family friend.  That works out well with separate spaces, but close enough.  She arrives Wed night. We will go to beach on Thursday for a walk on the beach and seafood lunch, Boston area on Monday, she heads back home on Tuesday.  Will see what fills in the gaps.  You know I am happy with nothing much.  Sister #6 and #4's arrivals and departures center around Friday or Saturday arrivals, Saturday or Sunday departures.  They will both stay here if they stay.  I will stay calm and carry on between now and Wednesday p.m.  

You have too many options to choose from and your priority this weekend must be to narrow them down to the few that will work best for you personally. If you’ve got a dozen projects on the go, you may end up finishing none of them.

Loved ones may seem mopey or distant this morning, darling Libra, due to a harsh square between the Capricorn Moon and Saturn. Show compassion and offer up support, but know your limits when it comes to nurturing others. If someone would rather wallow in their misery than accept love and advice, you'll need to respect their wishes. Luckily, a more composed energy takes hold as the hours pass, and people will begin to act like their usual selves. Break bread with your closest companions from your cozy home while Luna and Mercury form a soft sextile this evening. 

Your unique ability to communicate with many different groups and personalities will be extremely important today to maintaining a bridge between warring camps, Libra. Keep things moving and try not to let the situation stagnate on any one issue. If the conversation turns to raging and ranting, it's in your best interests to stop it right away. Don't be afraid to step up and take a leadership role.

I have but one passion project...it does need focus, but timing is not rushed.  I just have to look to the week ahead as a "this too will pass" moment and just let life come to me. Hope I miss the "warring camps" moment... Fingers crossed.  Have a good Saturday.  

Week winding down

Had a jolt this a.m.  Thought my "e-calendar" entries had disappeared...that would have been an interesting re-construct.  I guess I am sitting with too many thoughts from the Eggers books.  :)  And now it is Friday before the week ahead that will shuffle the deck as to people and activities.  Oct 21-27.  I will get as set in mind as I can, then let it roll.  :)  A very good precursor for this was my N CA DC yesterday.  The group of people in that discussion are the best.  Glad I logged on for that and the meeting I was supposed to have in that time slot had been moved.  

So yesterday - Watched Chicago shows, walked, N CA DC, reading The Every.  Really should finish that today.  Today - watch L&O shows, walk, Mettle - why we talk about illness, grief, and loss with children. Will see how the forecasted rain impacts walk timing.  Not much big thinking of late...I made "a move" to save money by not using conditioner for my daily hair washing...gave that up after a week as hair turned to straw.  Need to get "a bit" bigger on my thinking on how to make things work.  :)  

Self-discipline has never been a problem for you but not everyone in your world is as focused and competitive as you are. Make allowances for that fact over the next 24 hours. Don’t expect others to do what is clearly beyond them.

Having a solid support system benefits you immensely, darling Libra, as Mars and Saturn align. This energy is all about knowing when you could use a pep talk or helping hand, asking for what you need to reach the finish line. Connecting with loved ones throughout the day will provide the morale boost required to keep you moving forward. Check in with yourself as Luna moves through Capricorn, noticing when it's time to slow down and tend to personal needs. Just try not to get too comfortable while Neptune stirs, or it will be challenging to get back on track. Indulge in nostalgic comforts later today when the Moon aspects Venus rx.

Be careful about being manipulated by another person today, Libra. It's possible that someone is putting words in your mouth in order to get you to act a certain way. Don't fall into this trap. Be your own person and think for yourself. Your mind is susceptible and vulnerable now. Use your eyes and ears as a filter and don't let people unload their garbage on you.

Hmmm...I will keep checking in with myself.  I don't see many people as I go through my day except for those I see on my walks.  My "atmosphere" is pretty predictable.  But that will shift a bit beginning next week...will work on setting the table for letting go.  Stop, look, listen - then decide next steps.  Let life come to me.  Fingers crossed.  Have a good Friday.  

Oct 15 2026

Candle lighting picture for today. Need the inspiration. Still a week before company comes to town, but on my mind as to prep.  :)  Heard from TX/NM friend that we will be taking someone with us to visit friend in Boston area on Oct 26. Boston area friend's sister in law who she has not seen in 8 years. Nice development.  

Yesterday - cleaned apt, walked with family friend, EOLD, spoke with son and a guy from Houston - the guy hired to replace myself at the company I left when we moved to NC, Lansing DC.  Read The Every.  Could finish it up today.  Today - watch my Chicago shows.  :)  Walk. N CA DC.  Will see what else pops in.  

SS COLA news - with the Medicare premium increase...I might find myself $20-30 ahead each month.  :)

You find it easy to put yourself in another person’s place and see life from their point of view, but the only view that matters today is your own. Focus on your number one goal and don’t let anyone talk you out of going for it.

Take a good look around, dearest Libra, and you will find yourself surrounded by genuinely special people. You should feel inspired by and proud of your eclectic circle of friends while the Sun and Jupiter align. These rare and elevating vibes squash jealousy to make way for supportive dynamics. Don't pass up the chance to lift peers up. If you're in a position to spread opportunities, do it! The joy you experience will be rewarding on its own, but karmic blessings could also emerge. Enlightening conversations may guide you toward new interests when the Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Jupiter align this afternoon. 

This is a terrific day for you, Libra, and you will find that the fast pace of the day suits you well for what you need to get done. There's a general feeling of grandeur in the air that reminds you to take your time when getting dressed. Feel free to go all out today. Put on a lavish display wherever you go.

The pace of my day is not known for its "fast-ness" or "lavish" look.  :)  I will see how "going for it" looks today.  Have a good Thursday.  

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.
