MERCURY RETROGRADE. I REPEAT, WE ARE NOW IN MERCURY RETROGRADE.
By now, you’ve passed through this enough times that you should have your panicking schedules and techniques down pat. Act accordingly.
MERCURY RETROGRADE doesn’t figure into any constructions this week, but it is in Pisces, which is one of the more piggeldy signs in which to higgeldy. You might need to panic a bit more than usual.
What’s interesting is what signs actually are there. The first is a generic good luck Sun-Moon-Earth, but the other is the far more significant Mars-Jupiter-Saturn. This can mean “an end to war,” but that usually involves Venus being present in a relevant way, which it isn’t. The other major interpretation is “a decisive battle,” which considering that whole “Taliban truce” thingy that is supposed to happen this week is kind of interesting…
Welcome Pisces, to your month in the sun! Sorry that it’s going to start out in MERCURY RETROGRADE, but that just means you’ll get an extra dose of luck once it gets its celestial head out of its orbital ass. Beyond that, the skies are pretty simple: Venus in Aries means good lovin’ for those lucky enough to get some. The moon in Aquarius is all sorts of water aspects all over the place. And then Capricorn — in addition to the Jupiter-Saturn power twin combo, you pick up Mars this week. If you’ve got a good plan to crush your enemies, this is probably the best time to execute it.
Interesting draw this week — a mix of some of the best and worst cards available, and a complete flip suitwise from last week. Which makes sense for MERCURY RETROGRADE. Of particular note is Aquarius drawing the Queen of Coins for the second week in a row. Some signs have all the luck.
Pisces: King of Cups reversed – Dishonest, double-dealing man, roguery, exaction, injustice, vice, scandal, pillage, considerable loss
Aries: The Star – Loss, theft, privation, abandonment, hope, bright prospects
Taurus: 3 of Wands reversed – The end of troubles, suspension or cessation of adversity, toil and disappointment.
Gemini: The Emperor reversed – Benevolence, compassion, credit, confusion to enemies, obstruction, immaturity.
Cancer: The Hanged Man reversed – Selfishness, the crowd, body politic
Leo: 2 of Wands – Riches, fortune, magnificence, physical suffering, disease, chagrin, sadness, mortification
Virgo: 4 of Wands – country life, haven of refuge, repose, concord, harmony, prosperity, peace
Libra: 8 of Cups reversed – Great joy, happiness, feasting
Scorpio: Knight of Wands – Departure, absence, flight, emigration, A dark young man, change of residence
Sagittarius: 2 of Swords reversed – Imposture, falsehood, duplicity, disloyalty, misdirected vengeance
Capricorn: 3 of Cups – The conclusion of any matter in plenty, perfection and merriment, happy issue, victory, fulfilment, solace, healing
Aquarius: Queen of Coins – Opulence, generosity, magnificence, security, liberty
Aquarius: Queen of Coins – Opulence, generosity, magnificence, security, liberty
And the hits just keep on coming!
What sorcery is this? Gemini’s horrorscope this week doesn’t completely suck.
“Libra: 8 of Cups reversed – Great joy, happiness, feasting”
That’s what I’m talkin’ about.
“You might need to panic a bit more than usual.”
You’re not my supervisor.
So, like, anything could happen.
It’s Death. We’ll be dead by week’s end.
Aries: The Star – Loss, theft, privation, abandonment, hope, bright prospects
In that order, I hope.
I occasionally listen to The John and Ken show podcast out of LA for their funny takes on California and LA politics from a right of center viewpoint. They put out a voter guide for each election that might be helpful. They also interview candidates occasionally on their show.

Thanks, dude!
The Star is one of the oddest cards in the Major Arcana, particularly the Waite version. A significant chunk of this oddness comes from the early roots of the symbolism in which “star” was an indication of inferiority in a hierarchy with the Sun and Moon. However, ever since the Romantics, we think of stars as being somehow “better” than the more mundane Sun and Moon, especially in esoterica. In European numerology, odd numbers are (generally) lucky while evens are less so. Eight is especially unlucky. There are eight stars on the card, and they are drawn in two different unlucky ways. First, they are drawn asymmetrically, and the part that IS symmetric shows six (even number) around a larger center. The figure has one foot on land and one in the water, which is symbolic of fickleness and disorder. Likewise the pouring out of the ewers can be read as either blessings or as wasting.
Dude, If I sent you my birth GPS coordinates, exact time etc, what would you charge for a chart? Just for grins of course, not like i’d sue for non performance or something.
I’m not really flush enough with time to take a commission right now. Having said that, I can probably work on it in fits and starts if you’re ok with an ETA of “quite possibly never.” When it gets close enough that I can say “yeah, it can be done by X,” we can haggle.
Good enough.
So the left has its knives out for Chris Matthews. His analogous description of Danders win to the Nazi invasion appatently was a bridge too far. Ridiculous as it is, where were all these people calling for resignation when claims and spurious analogies agaisnt any Republican is made?

*Sanders* sag’s horoscope coming through.
Don’t worry the misspelling. My wife regularly calls him Barney Sandler, which makes me think of a smarmy purple guy making horrible movies.
Well, Bernie DOES turn purple when he gets worked up over something at the debates.
“spurious analogies agaisnt any Republican”
Spurious? Aanlogies? Dude, Trump is LITERALLY Hitler.!

Honestly, it’s ridiculous that any registered voter should have a say in this. Might as well have an American Idol night for the winners.
I have my cali ballot figured out too…except I havent resided in Cali for over 10 years. I have told them over and over as they keep sending me ballots that I no longer should vote there.
I use this little fact to show my brother that our piss poor attitude of ballot access is more of a threat than shit posters on FB….
How can you possibly choose without knowing all their intersections?
While I wish there were a “none of the above” option, that will never happen. Maybe you could have a “battle royale” option where if that option won, the candidates owuld fight to the death for the office.
I’ve always liked the thought of “if ‘none of the above’ wins then the office sits vacant for the normal term.”
You, me and Monty Brewster. I’ve often said that should be on the ballot and if it gets the majority none of the candidates that lost get to run in the next election. Repeat as necessary.
Relevant bit starts at 02:30 – https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5v0yoj
Pick non-incumbents at random.
I have done ninja internet research and a few phone calls and landed on:
CJ Mody, Mark Skeels, Paul Starita, and Shawn McMillan.
Unfortunately, I tipped my hand as a discerning and capable conservative, so i expect some heavy recruiting to follow.
“You fucked up! You trusted us.” 😉
right???
Never pick an incumbent, then go through their last names saying “Honorable Judge ” and vote for whichever one sounds least douchey.
Aww it thought [LastName] with angle brackets was a tag.
Sadly, my going-in position was “I bet once I do the research, I’m going to choose an all-male slate”. Sure enough, even though it was a one-by-one decision, that was indeed the outcome.
“Feminists” are sooo predictable.
Don’t mean to shove Carl Demaio at you too forcefully but he had an endorsements podcast on the 3rd.
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-carl-demaio-show/id1476485047?i=1000464506677
Chafed would probably know about judicial races.
Carl needs to call off his campaign dogs. His ads have been disgusting. Me no likey. He can learn and try again. I am going with Issa thissa time.
They’ve both been pretty awful, so I try to be ecumenical about it, esp. as is not my district. I like C deM for heading the gas-tax repeal effort.

No worries! I do the same all the time as I pop in and out of here. I got three little boys so my free time comes at night or in small doses during the day.
Carl is getting my vote. I definitely don’t want Issa back in office.
Hayek – Re: Paul Starita. I know him pretty well. He was a Marine Officer and we were defense attorneys together, each assigned different co-accused in a murder trial. A good guy, IMO. He at least had the experience of having his client’s rights violated, so he knows how LE can be.
Because, of course it is.
Interesting. I’m a Scorpio, and will be departing on a flight later this week for business to a place we’re considering changing our residence to.

Let us know where the “young dark man” fits in.
I’m meeting several dark skinned young men on this trip.
Actually now that I think about it, none of my meetings are with white guys. Huh.
It’s good to have choices.
So which Mercury is featured in the feed illo? Never been a Ford man, but it’s pretty cherry.
“generosity”
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
I brought the spouse his mail-in ballot. I hadn’t known he had registered as Libertarian (I am registered GOP here) so our ballots were different. He duplicated my votes for judge, measures, CD rep, etc.
But he couldn’t vote in the GOP primary. The number one choice on the Lib Presidential ticket — I shit you not — is Vermin Supreme.
Still, he wrote in Cthulhu.
In 2016 my wife and I just happened to cast the exact same ballot, except for a single judge. It was like we voted right next to each other even though we were on opposite sides of the polling station.
I am registered independent and now in CO you get to choose a ballot for primaries. I am not sure who I am going to vote for if I do vote.
In MN, it was caucuses. Very different from primaries. And then there are open and closed primaries–all a bit baffling for the curious newbie, unfortunately.
I can see online ballots for four parties: I’m “unenrolled” and can vote in the primary of any party. There’s “DAN TAXATION IS THEFT BEHRMAN” on the Libertarian ballot.
A presidential candidate on the Green-Rainbow party ballot has a cool name: SEDINAM KINAMO CHRISTIN MOYOWASIFZA-CURRY.

Since cups cards are associated with the female, is this feasting on vagina?
Yes

Good thing those socons have been defeated…
Nolan chart says otherwise.
This implies that “social liberals” want to leave us alone which is questionable.
I dont like the way it is defined, but going by the nolan chart, it they dont want to leave us alone, they arent social liberals.
There is no end to history, no magic bullet that enshrines any ideological bent forever. Despite the way in which you try to oversimplify the thoughts of various thinkers, almost all of them have recognized this fact. I know this bothers you, but I suggest that you learn this fact as well because it is pretty basic to humanity. There have always been people inclined to preserve the past, always been people inclined to race into the future, in fact inside each person both impulses exist simultaneously. Even in libertopia, and even in communist totalitarianism. I am sure you can find some quote by someone that suggests that they believed that social conservatism was no more. And if your point is to mock that person by all means cite it. Otherwise it doesn’t support amy point.
I think the terms “social conservative” and “social liberal” are flawed. Strictly speaking the prohibitionists were social liberals since they wanted to change traditional views of alcohol consumption and attack the liquor business and the Established elites who owned those breweries and liked to drink booze.
Hell Victorian morality was socially liberal in the sense that it was an attack on the sexual mores of the aristocracy.
If we are going with that definition, the socons favor gay marriage. Which defeats your point, as the people favoring the porn reg law also favor gay marriage.
Well since that is the law and accepted social view then yeah it is.
Isn’t the repeal of Prohibition the reason FDR was so popular, at least initially?
I agree with you. I’d say that particular set of ideas is better described as Puritan. It is not the case that that desire to police private morality follws a right/left divide. It is the same impulse that wants to criminalize hate speech and mandate using chosen pronouns. It is the mindset of “I find this action distasteful and therefore it must be destroyed!” But I do not think people are internally consistent. The person who celebrates the most extreme sexual divergence from the norm may simultaneously want to criminalize speech that condemns that divergence. To that person the two posiitions are consistently opposing puritanism and upholding decency, but one is based in a cavalier impulse and the other in a puritanical one. The world, and especially human nature, is complex. I am not sure you can be consistent in all ways. I think sometimes consistency in one area inherently leads to inconsistency in another because things don’t divide into neat dichotomies.
Oh those Puritans in 18th and 19th Century England would have been classical liberals while the Cavaliers would have been defending aristocratic privilege. Food for thought.
That is my point. No dichotomy can describe the real conflicts because they are happening along multiple psychological divides and in a world that is itself not consistently one thing or another.
Oh Jarflax in the previous post I made some comments about modern communications technology and I would like to read your thoughts.
I think the issue there is related to what I am groping to express (hell groping to understand) here. The communication tech revolution is liberty in action. That doesn’t mean it is libertarian, it means it wasn’t implemented deliberately from above. It is an example of the very emergent order libertarians extol.
In other words while many libertarian thinkers expressed optimism that it would usher in libertopia, it wasn’t implemented by them and it wasn’t implemented according to a plan at all. It emerged, and evolved spontaneously from a host of inventions and ideas. Is it good for liberty? Who knows. That is the thing about liberty. You don’t get to only have things that are good for liberty because that kind of selection is itself destructive of liberty.
(this is why I can’t finish the second part of the article I am working on btw I keep going round and round about how to express what I have in mind and realizing I don’t actually have a conclusion because there is an inherent conflict between the practical and the philosophical principles of liberty, and I can’t resolve it)
Also wanting to ban plastic, sugar and salt is a socially liberal thing since it involves changing our lives.
Actually, since the plastic van is in effect where I live, the liberals are the ones wanting to allow plastic.
Liberals hate sea turtles.
And scrunchies.
Yeah I am socon on that issue now and will be a social liberal on that issue too.
I hate Plastic Vans…

Following that link and then the link in the story sent me down a rabbit hole so to speak.
New Jersey now safest place in America.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/21/us/new-jersey-white-supremacist-terrorism-trnd/index.html
According to the report, since January 2019, there have been 168 reported instances of white supremacist propaganda distribution, compared to 46 reports in 2018.
That’s a dramatic increase in alarming incidents.
Ahh, once again the whole “White Supremacist Threat” boils down to some one exercising their right to free speech. Getting tired of that trope.
We must be intolerant to the intolerant to create a tolerant society since only a society where everyone thinks the same is tolerant and we can trust those TOP MEN who will decide what is or isn’t intolerant.
It’s amazing how the media all in unison suddenly started using “white supremacist” instead of “racist”.
How many of those were of the “it’s ok to be white” trolling variety?
Yes instead of one guy working one day putting racist flyers in doors, he worked 3 days.

Um….wow. i weep for this Nation if he makes the nomination AND becomes president.
It could freakin’ happen. Whatever happens, I’m hoping for gridlock.
If not for the amount of power that’s been put into the executive office in the past few decades, Sanders with a Republican Congress would probably be the best libertarian solution (in that we’re never going to win anything so go with the solution that does the least damage. Nothing would happen in DC in that scenario.)
Apparently Sanders said after winning Nevada that on day 1 of a Sanders presidency he’d sign executive orders overturning a bunch of Trump stuff.
Such is (part of) the problem with EOs.
I’m pretty sure that holds true for most of the dem candidates.
Yep. I can’t even recall the list of shit they all plan to do on “Day One” but it’s lengthy.
“..Yep. I can’t even recall the list of shit they all plan to do on “Day One” but it’s lengthy.”
Fun thing is that stopping fracking is at the top of their lists.
If Putin could get the US to do one thing it would be to stop our fracking.
Maddening, isn’t it?
If I thought that Bernie was going to win I’d consider buying some oil derivitives in the march 2021 timeframe.
Yeah, that’s my concern – there’s a lot of damage Bernie could do with pen-n-phone and a pliant media and bureaucracy covering for him. Hell, look at the damage just Obama’s stupid “Dear Colleague” letter did for Title IX on college campuses, and DoEd still hasn’t managed to unwind that nonsense. And that’s just one small example.
Especially if the Dems keep the House (as they almost certainly would for Sanders presidency), the Senate can’t do much to stop it, so it’ll be on the courts. As much as I appreciate Cocaine Mitch powering through the vacancies, the courts are slow and don’t often just kill the problem, instead slicing off the most offensive bit of it but leaving the rest to fester.
Dear Colleague didn’t jump-start that shit – it just announced that there would be top-cover.
Sanders’s own actions would likely be dwarfed by the rampant bureaucracy that his presidency would provide top cover for. It’d be like Obama redux, but this time with feeling.
That might actually stampede enough Republicans in Congress into reducing the power of the Presidency.
Bwhahahahahaha – as soon as they grow spines!
He had a literacy program
So did the Imperial Japanese when they occupied Korea and Taiwan. Is Sanders going to start extolling the virtues of colonialism now?
“May have overstated,” you say?
Everyone who was in that room should get fired. One of them leaked, and so they should all get fired. If you can’t pick out the bad apple, assume they’re all bad and just dump them. There are too many useless “intelligence agencies” and personnel anyway.
Haven’t seen this much paranoia about Russkies since the heyday of McCarthy and the Birchers. The utter lack of self-awareness about that (and the nonchalance of the glorious Obama with regard to Russia) is as rich as proggie tears are salty.
Did she “overstate” or did the leaker of a classified breifing make shit up?
What difference does it make at this point?

I know. I pretty quickly muted him. He had responded to me by trying to tell me that Che didn’t really kill gay people and throw them into camps, it was just western disinformation.
Well he didn’t literally kill them and throw them in camps. He sometimes threw them in camps then killed them, and sometimes it was an either or thing, but I doubt he ever killed one and then put him in a camp.
