Astrological influences for this weekend

It's Friday afternoon, I've escaped from a long meeting and am starting to contemplate my weekend.

Spring is in the air. I can feel it, even though soon-to-be March lions will certainly get their roaring
days, here in cold wintry Michigan.

Almost all of the ice has melted from the Hyland house driveway. (That was a scary thing, believe me. It was a broken-leg disaster, waiting to happen.) Last night, when I got home, there were multitudes of birds chirping, singing and flitting about; I think they're more excited about spring than I am(!)

I'm also so pleased to see Ol' Madame Sun gracing us with her lengthening presence. The air is warming, day by day. Tomorrow, the thermometer may hit anywhere from 50 to 60 degrees! I even sat out on our front porch stoop for a few minutes last night. The air was still and consequently, the temperature felt almost pleasant. Viewing our little neighborhood from my 'stoop' vantage point, I felt like I had met up with an old friend who had just returned from a long, winter absence.

S. and I will rendezvous this evening. I'm looking forward to that.

Tomorrow morning, I take Cisco for her semi-annual visit with the vet, Dr. K. I would rather stay home, lounge in my pajamas and robe, and play the piano. Ah, well.

And, tomorrow evening, we are supposed to have dinner at J & J's house. J.C's mom, bless her heart, always sends J.C. home with this big Polish ham. She is sharing the wealth with her friends. The theme of the gathering (or one of the themes) is death. Perhaps I'll have more to write about that later.



Finally, here are some of my current astrological influences:

Talking and Listening

Sun in the Third House
activity period from 27 February 2004 until beginning of April 2004

Valid during several weeks: The Sun in this house turns your attention toward your immediate surroundings and increases your interaction with friends, neighbors, relatives and business associates ­ the people you deal with every day. It is a good time to look at how you handle these casual relationships that are so important for your life. Often we develop unfortunate little habits in communicating with these people, which undermine our effectiveness and our ability to communicate with them. In fact, clear communication should be one of the goals of this period. With the Sun in this house there is a temptation to pour out energy and take none in. But try to avoid this. Instead of always being the active agent in communication, be the passive one, too ­ in other words, listen!

Unrealistic Ideals

Venus Opposition Neptune
activity period from 27 February 2004 to 29 February 2004

During this time you should be careful of your relationships. This influence has many possibilities, some good, some difficult. Your unrealistic ideals may lead to acute disappointment with loved ones,
unless you make an effort to understand and accept the reality of your relationships. A typical illusion to beware of is picturing yourself in a love relationship as the unselfish, giving one who sacrifices everything for the other. This is a blatant ego game in which the ultimate purpose may be to gain control over the other by manipulating feelings of obligation. Although this influence is capable of producing a beautiful romantic experience, you cannot depend upon it continuing forever. Enjoy it for itself and do not make demands upon it. Beauty does not need to be justified.
