Silly astrologers

[hummingwolf]

From Free Will Astrology, this week's forecasts for Libra (my sun sign) and Leo (my moon & ascendant sign):

Physicist Jonathan Huebner says scientists are running out of bright ideas. "We are approaching the point when the rate of innovation is the same as it was during the Dark Ages," he wrote in New Scientist magazine. That argument seems wrong to me. Everyone I know is awash in the changes unleashed by new technology. But just in case his theory has any merit, I call on Libran inventors to begin reversing the trend. After all, you're now at the height of your ability to generate constructive novelty. So are all the rest of you Librans, for that matter. Get out there and unleash a flurry of good changes.

According to the legends of many cultures, every one of us has a doppelganger somewhere on the planet: a person who looks exactly like us. The modern sciences of genetics and statistics go further, saying that there are at least 80 people worldwide who are our spitting image. If you're ever going to meet one of these doubles, Leo, it will probably be in the coming weeks. But even if you don't, I predict that the whole world will become a giant mirror, reflecting back to you visions of yourself that you haven't been able to see before.

At this hour of the day, all I'm really getting out of this is an urge to keep reading lots of science fiction.

For today from StarIQ.com:

Transiting Mercury Conjunct Ascendant

Tell the world who you are. Shout your praises to all horizons. Hopefully, you really have something to say. Here's your chance to resolve any difference in your opinion of yourself and what others report back to you. Fortify your ego with precise statements of fact about what makes you tick, what you think and how your mind works. It should be fascinating, right? No masking with a thin pretense. What you see is what I think.


Transiting Mercury Conjunct Natal Moon

Get in there and relate what you feel. Use descriptive, emotionally charged words. Delete logic. How else will they understand? Presenting thoughts about feelings in an emotionally charged conversation leads to unnecessary pushing to the deepest depths of feelings. These pushes create bruises. Bruises force sharp and hurtful words forward. The simple solution is to state feelings as feelings, and thoughts as thoughts. Corral all your feelings to the conscious mind. Make notes before critical emotional showdowns. Know what the emotion feels like before describing it.


Transiting Mercury Sextile Natal Sun

People light up when you speak about yourself. Your experiences, ideas and impressions fill them with thoughts of their own. Putting yourself out there and on the line, whether by written or spoken word, generates positive response. Agreement occurs. Remember the words, recall the phrases. Make notes, even if only mental, after successful dialogues. Keep track of new ideas. Write affirmations of self expression. Ask for feedback about areas of your personal growth. Listen to the responses. Make new affirmations.

So what I'm getting out of this is that it's a mercurial kind of day. For tomorrow:

Transiting Venus Square Natal Mars

This is not a time when you'll feel too comfortable with the status quo. Work off the excess energy you feel by dancing the night away or exercising at the gym. Avoid gambling, excessive shopping or any other activities that allow you to spend without thinking. Love could make you burn and yearn. While an affair now may be hot and heavy, however, it could easily turn icy. Don't be impatient, or your passion will simply go up in smoke.

Eh, this is boring. I'm feeling a need to get MegaHAL's advice sometime soon. Or maybe I could just get him to write about the end of summer.
