Woke up this morning angry and willing to bite someone's head off all before I'd spoken to anyone or turned on the radio. Although I'm pretty sure I know the reason for it, the anger isn't exactly unidirectional at the moment. This could be an excellent day for dealing with bureaucracy. Anger is, if nothing else, good at providing energy for things that need to be done (as long as they don't need to be done with much finesse). It's probably best for everyone if I avoid the housemates till this passes.

Because I'm the sort of person who likes astrology even though I don't believe in it, just had to check my transits for the day over on astro.com. They provide free access to multiple transits on Thursdays, so here they are.


A marvelous effect
This influence arouses the creative and romantic imagination, either giving you a greater appreciation for and sensitivity to beauty, with a strong desire to be surrounded by it, or sending you off into a pleasant daydream. If you experience the first response, make an effort to expose yourself to art, music or poetry today, because they will have a marvelous effect upon your consciousness. Aspects of reality and perception that you are normally not aware of are yours under this influence. Even placing yourself in beautiful surroundings, such as a pleasant country spot, a beautiful garden or a striking landscape, will have a very powerful effect upon you. In relationships this influence gives you an acute sensitivity to the needs and feelings of your loved ones.

Beliefs and ideas *
Valid during several weeks: This can be a time when you do more creative intellectual work than usual and attempt to convey your experience and view of the world to others. You will assert and defend the beliefs and ideas that you consider true and important wherever necessary. Obviously this is valuable if you have to influence other people and make an impression on them, but it can also be a danger if you try to beat people over the head with your opinions and ideas. The problem is to avoid identifying your ego with what you believe. When you identify your ego with your ideas, you really believe you are those ideas, and you will defend them as if they were literally your own body. What you can do now is put all of your energy into expanding your mind. Look for experiences that will open up new dimensions of reality.

Heart over mind
Weak, transient effect: This influence usually denotes a brief period of good feelings and generosity toward others. This morning you feel that everything is all right, and you have nothing to fear. You express your self- confidence by being above petty irritations. Not easily angered, you tolerate even the most harsh behavior from other people. But you probably won't have to contend with "harsh behavior," because the energy of this influence does not arouse it in those around you. You will get what you give ­ kindness, friendship and nurturing support. This influence can also awaken your concern for the deeper aspects of life. You may seek metaphysical and spiritual insights, but with your heart rather than your mind. Rational knowledge is not likely to satisfy you at this time


"Above petty irritations" and "Not easily angered." Good thing they said that last transit was one with a "weak, transient effect." Okay, I think I'll not bother looking at the long-term influences right now. Heh. Maybe I just need more chocolate before I face the world.
