Bits and pieces:
First, thanks.
Thank you Marian and Lise for the tips about using my system’s search feature to find my lost files. Duh, I would have used it if I could have recalled their names, and I just didn’t recall that it could look for a time-range, too.
Then, astrological anticipation:
It is less than two weeks until Mercury goes retrograde again. I know people who cringe at the thought, or even cry. It doesn’t do that to me, even though my Sun Sign, Virgo, is one of those that was traditionally assigned, along with Gemini, to Mercury’s rulership.
Virgo’s recently discovered true ruler, Chiron, is conjunct my Natal Sun in the 26th degree of Virgo, and that degree is also where this upcoming retrograde station of Mercury will occur. Then, three weeks or so later, a couple of days after my birthday (Solar Return in astrologese), Mercury’s direct station will occur conjunct another conjunction in my chart: that of Natal Mercury, Jupiter, and the asteroid Ceres.
I’m expecting intensity, as has always been the case whenever my astrological curse-blessing pattern is activated by transiting planets. Elsa, if you’re reading this and have any insights about the shape or color of the coming intensity, I’m interested.
Now, shameless self-promotion:
I’ve done a lot of work at KaiOaty today: a page explaining Greyfox’s shamanic healing technique, which we call Life Force Enhancement or LFE (which does not come up on the front page as usual, so if you want to see it you’ll need to follow the link); a new FAQ about self-creation; and a reality check reading for my daughter, Angie. The self-creation FAQ and the reading do show up on the front page today. I’ll let you guys guess at how and why the other one, posted today, does not.
And, finally, some local news–a bear story that turned out okay for both the bear and the people whose imprudent actions in running away from the sow and her cubs triggered an attack. Fortunately the men didn’t have guns, so the bear didn’t get shot. One of the men chased her away from the other one by throwing rocks at her. Yay, bear! I hope she will learn to avoid those foul-tasting, rock-throwing humans from now on.

Thank God the bear survived that man attack, and vice-versa.
I’m cheering for the bear too.
I always wanted to know more about astrology. All I know is that I’m an Aquarius. Lame, the weak extent of my knowledge, ain’t it?
Yikes: Not chiron with mercury in retrograde- I’m searching for the closest cave. I seem to stay in limbo and unhappy when those forces caome to play in the sky.
wouldn’t've know what to tell you if I hadn’t've had to do that so many times myself. not that i’m forgetful or anything…….
