"everyone's got a Monday..."

1) Possible: XX - The Aeon.

Are you serious? It's Monday, for fuck's sake. Nothing of actual importance ever happens on a Monday. Mostly to busy trying to avoid the mundane terrors that are conjured by the thoughts and fears of an entire populace concerning Monday as a mythical sort of beast intent on destroying us all.

But I like Aeons, mostly. I like the promise that this particular set of terrors is to an end, that there is something coming of it. It's tidy, and hopeful, and I've got way too many planets in Virgo and Sag to not be drawn to tidy, hopeful things.

monthly forecast time! (part 2)

Continued from here.

Arguably, life gets a little more interesting in houses 7-12. That might just be my generalized bias towards life. I think that 7-12 are where we find most of the good shit.

7) Partnership: XV - The Devil

My current approach, when I think a card could be about any of eighteen things in my life, is just to assume it's about all of them. (The major question for this house is who? More on that later.) And for all of my drama with The Devil, I think I am getting a bit more comfortable with the kinds of things he means, for me at least.

Full Moon Forecast

I use a constantly evolving version of the Astrological reading out of Keywords for my monthly forecast - it prevents that unfortunate, "Wow, that Hanged Man could be about anything" that often occurs with a less specific reading.

This one is bound to be interesting, because I was so not in my body or my mind or my life when I pulled them.

COTD: The 8 of Disks

The 8 of Disks suggests, to me, discernment. Carefulness. Watchfulness and patience and reserve.

Attributes that most of my dearest ones would admit, even after a moment of discomfort, that I lack.

Also, I'd much rather be running amok today, kicking ass and/or taking names and/or drinking something fruity with an umbrella. Those 8 Disks are surveying me, now, with mild horror. (They're not capable of any other kind.)

Also, there is a lot on my plate today, so I wonder - do I have to 8 of Disks everything? (This where I try to get another answer, because... I don't want to. I don't want to listen to the cards and sit still, on my hands, not talking, today. I don't want to stay home and be careful about everything.

So I did a whole 10-card about where I am right now.

NYNY: Goals

My dearest darlings, I simply love goals. The hope and anticipation and planning and spreadsheets and shopping! (For what is a plan, without shopping?)

Follow through is another story.

I have to fight the nasties that tell me that this is just like every other time that I set out to accomplish something and failed.  I have to remind myself of one of my Very Important Things I've Learned Lately:

Most people don't accomplish half of the shit they talk about doing. Most of the plans we plan and schemes we scheme come to nothing at all. This is natural, normal, human bullshit. Sometimes life gets in the way and fucks us up and sometimes we just get so caught up in the fun of listening to ourselves talk about all the Somedays and Somehows that we don't even think about the reality of our situations.


However, part one: some of the things we plan and scheme do come to pass.


However, part two: all of those talks of Somedays and Somehows are a lot of fun, on their own merit, especially when accompanied by good company and at-least-decent wine.

Something to remember, as I embark upon this.
