Step 1: Romp in the fields before the dew burns off
So the week starts off with the Sun and Mercury poking at Jupiter. Probably means big news about the government, could mean big change in the government, hopefully doesn’t mean good luck for the government. We also get good signs for homeowners and those who are protecting something precious as Mars and Jupiter remain aligned all this week. Monday indicates a dramatic event relationship-wise. Then on Saturday, The moon in that Moon-Mercury-Venus alignment is replaced by the Sun, so assuming the relationship survived Monday, it ought to be going gangbusters by then.
It’s Rak’s turn in the sun, but all the good planets are elsewhere. Gemini’s got Mercury and Venus, Aries has Jupiter and Mars. If you decide to change plans in the middle of a situation, going more aggressively should be the better option.
Step 2: Wrestle!
The cards do not have a good opinion of this week. There are FIVE majors, all reversed.
Cancer: 6 of Coins – Presents, gifts, gratification, attention, vigilance.
Leo: 7 of Swords – Design, attempt, wish, hope, confidence, quarrelling, a plan that may fail, annoyance.
Virgo: The Hanged Man reversed – Selfishness, the crowd, body politic.
Libra: The Hermit reversed – Concealment, disguise, policy, fear, unreasoned caution.
Scorpio: 8 of Cups – Giving joy, mildness, timidity, honor, modesty, the decline of a matter or that a matter which has been thought to be important is really of slight consequence.
Sagittarius: The High Priestess reversed – Passion, moral or physical ardor, conceit, surface knowledge.
Capricorn: 10 of Swords – Betrayal, pain, affliction, tears, sadness, desolation.
Aquarius: King of Swords reversed – Cruelty, perversity, barbarity, perfidy, evil intention.
Pisces: The Sun reversed – Material happiness, fortunate marriage, contentment (but less than if the card had been drawn upright).
Aries: Knight of Cups – Arrival, approach, advances, proposition, demeanor, invitation, incitement.
Taurus: The World reversed – Inertia, fixity, stagnation, permanence.
Gemini: 2 of Coins – Recreation, news and messages in writing, obstacles, agitation, trouble, embroilment.
Step 3: Profit!
Cancer: 6 of Coins – Presents, gifts, gratification, attention, vigilance.
I got nothin’
Pretty decent. I’ll take it.
*looks at last weeks for Aquarius, looks at broken thumb, looks at this weeks for Aquarius* I gotta start taking these more seriously.
You and me both, brother.
The hike yesterday was ten humans and eleven dogs. The dogs of course were constantly running through the woods, forming smaller groups to play, and visiting all the people stretched out along the trail. On the way up, I heard a shriek from behind me with “Lily, NO!” I called her up to me, and the person troubled said that she had found something “with a rib cage.” I assumed it was a bird, rabbit or rodent. On the way back, I saw that it was the skull, spine and ribs of a deer.
My dog got a bunny 2 weeks ago. I was trying to extricate the poor bunny from his mouth, but he would have none of it. It didn’t help that each time the dog clenched, the bunny would squeak like the dogs favorite toy.
She’s definitely got the retriever genes. None of the chipmunks she’s caught have had visible wounds. Three of them were still alive when she dropped them.
I’m going the extra mile for the lunch strips. I plucked some fresh rosemary from the window sill, chopped it up, and mixed it into butter.

Where’s that nice friendly girl in the camo yoga pants from the gas station the other day?
So I guess she must have escaped from your basement?

This is just one big euphemism.

Somewhat shitty.
Good dog pictures.
The Seven of Swords represents taking risky action.
OK, this week I will believe in astrology.
However, I always believe in cute dog pictures.
🐕👍🏻
Not as good as last week’s, but still encouraging.
::asks in a tiny voice:: Any chance Lily can come to The Party?
…I don’t know how good of an idea that would be. So far, she’s proved quite remarkable at behaving somewhat appropriately, but a 4.25 hour drive, followed by a cluster of new people might not be the best thing.
However, depending on how you’re getting to Butlerville, we might be able to arrange a meeting.
If all goes according to plan, we’ll stay with in-laws in Bemus on the way there (and Saturday night after we get thrown out,) but will have to skedaddle back to SW OH pronto on Sunday because I really kinda have to be back at work on the 1st.
Like, exactly the opposite. Things are hopping forward at Chez Mojeaux.
How soon ’til you hitch up your wagon and head out?
Friday morning 6 a.m. sharp. 5.5-hour drive, gotta pick up keys by 4:30, move the boy in, and then take him shopping to load him up on life items and groceries (although he packed half my pantry). DeSmet Saturday, home on Sunday. The girl’s 19th birthday is Saturday so her present (which she stated explicitly) is to have the house to herself all weekend.
It wasn’t so long ago that I recall teenagers having teenage problems at Chez Mojeaux. They DO sort of out grow them but the teen age problems seem to linger in some cases and a re-visit to Mom and Dad’s house may be necessary (in the youngster’s mind) but eventually it seems like evening comes, the wind dies down and a calm begins.
My daughter got divorced after 30 years of marriage. Now after 3 years her kids recognize/admit that life was different at their house than most of their friends’. Some things take longer than others to resolve.
You are doing a great job, Moj, and best of luck for all concerned.
Thank you so much, Fourscore. I don’t know if this will turn out to be a false start or not, but there’s a reason we’re going to keep his room available for him.
It’s taken me 40 years to understand my dad’s thought processes somewhat, to admit my culpability in how my dad reacted to me. I don’t expect XY to ever understand mine or acknowledge his part, and I’m okay with that. As my dad said, “I can stand at the Judgment Seat and say I did what I thought was best for my children.”
I second Fourscore’s sentiment.
I think the move will be good for your son.
Arrival, approach, advances, proposition, demeanor, invitation, incitement.
We’re going down to SW VA on Fri, for the 4th weekend – so that’s arrival. I’m not sure I want to contemplate the rest.
If flights don’t get canceled we will be trouncing around Charlotte , Columbia, some small towns in SC and Mrytle Beach over the 4th
Watching S3 of The Umbrella Academy. The musical theater bits do not bother me unlike the ones in S3 of The Boys. Undoubtedly because UA was aways a goofy show. The “we need to have a new storyline transing Vanya because it is violence to ask an actor to crossact” I find unnecessary.
Dude I could not get past the penis scene in The Boys S3
You’ll need to be more specific I’m afraid.
heh. I like the series, throwing heroes into not-so-hero status. Little mini dude jumping into the guys pee hole just was too much for me.
Pure cringe, but then when he sneezed … I guffawed.
Honestly, the musical theater bits make me cringe more.
I have finished E2, so now I’m dreading it.
I quit in episode 4.
The story and script are not worth the gross. 🤮
Later in S3, prehensile-dick guy from S1 makes a reappearance.
I have never been so blissfully ignorant in my life. Nor do I feel as if I’m missing out on something.
I’m with you.
Honestly? S3 (so far) you’re really not.
Elvis was too wild for my parents but us kids thought he was great.
The week isn’t complete without Lily!
I spent the day fishing with my son and his buddy. A two-year old shepherd mix was along for the adventure. I’d almost forgotten what high energy pups are like – wonderful!
Thanks as always, NA!
