IFLA: The “Remnants and Rejects” Edition of the Horoscope for the Week of July 10

by | Jul 10, 2022 | IFLA | 57 comments

‘Sup?

 

Got a new phone, but no opportunities to get pics on it, so this week we get some repeats and/or ones that weren’t timely.

 

Queenie as a pup with Lily

 

This week starts with some major feminine/domestic vibes, but you’ve got to keep in mind that the division of labor when this SCIENCE! was originally discovered and catalogued is not exactly the same as now.ย  Having said that, Venus is pretty much always “woman” regardless of the time period, so when it’s aligned with the moon, you are getting indications of woman-as-woman here.ย  Saturday is a lucky day, with Mercury coming into alignment with the sun.ย  Even luckier for Rak, what with Mercury residing there until the 19th.ย  The other planets are as they were.

 

Lily and Queenie (mostly) grown up.

 

Cancer:ย  Page of Coins – Application, study, scholarship, reflection, news, messages and the bringer thereof; also rule, management.

Leo:ย  Ace of Coins – Perfect contentment, felicity, ecstasy, speedy intelligence; gold.

Virgo:ย  6 of Cups – The past and memories.

Libra:ย  The Fool – Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, bewrayment.

Scorpio:ย  The Hierophant reversed – Society, good understanding, concord, overkindness, weakness.

Sagittarius:ย  9 of Swords – Death, failure, miscarriage, delay, deception, disappointment, despair.

Capricorn:ย  3 of Coins – Mรฉtier, trade, skilled labor, aristocracy, renown, glory.

Aquarius:ย  Knight of Wands – Departure, absence, flight, emigration.

Pisces:ย  4 of Swords reversed – Wise administration, circumspection, economy, avarice, precaution, testament.

Aries:ย  3 of Swords reversed – Mental alienation, error, loss, distraction, disorder, confusion.

Taurus:ย  10 of Swords – Pain, affliction, tears, sadness, desolation.

Gemini:ย  The Sun reversed – Material happiness, fortunate marriage, contentment — but lesser than if the card had been drawn upright.

 

Sometimes you want to wrestle, but it’s too damned hot out.

    It was totally worth USD1,000,000,000 to fuck with Twitter for a week.

    • Don escaped Texas

      Whisky River terminal E: just get a sandwich and a beer and cry for a few days like the rest of us?

    • Ownbestenemy

      Is their video of the fall of Trump Airlines? Lol.

      Our experience was old school airline travel…but maybe we were lucky.

    • westernsloper

      Gray, her husband, and two daughters often fly with American ……

      Ya, there is one of your problems. I only had one bad experience with American because I only flew with them once.

      • Ted S.

        ‘So she’s going through the airport with that billboard on her, that she was an unaccompanied minor in one of the largest human trafficking hubs in the country,’

        Fuck the human trafficking moral panic.

        This is why you teach your kids to be independent, however.

      • Sensei

        Yup.

        Although youโ€™d it isnโ€™t unreasonable to expect them to turn the kid over to an adult.

        This is either whining or cash grab or both.

      • Ownbestenemy

        WTF! Why would you announce it? Our kids have been flying solo for years, starting at 10. We told them don’t talk to TSA, only talk with the sheriff, and gate agents at the gate you are supposed to be at.

      • Mojeaux

        I was 8 or 9 the first time I flew, and I did it alone.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Exactly. They want you now to announce you are unaccompanied.

      • westernsloper

        Damn.

    • Semi-Spartan Dad

      My last flight was 4 years ago, the second to last one was 11 years ago. It’s very unlikely that I’ll ever fly again, at least on a commercial airline.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Or not fly AA. They’re doing their damnedest to be a ULCC in sheeps clothing and have been for years.

    • Drake

      My company just shut down most corporate travel. I still have to submit an expense report for my last trip – including a lost deposit on a rental car because of cancelled flights and meals during an unexpected layover in Chicago.

      I don’t mind not doing that again for a long while.

      • Sensei

        My current gig has minimal travel. The last two, not so much. I donโ€™t miss it at all.

  7. Tundra

    Love those pics. Queenie is so beautiful.

    And Lily might be the happiest dog who ever lived.

    Leo: Ace of Coins โ€“ Perfect contentment, felicity, ecstasy, speedy intelligence; gold.

    That’ll work.

  8. Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

    Mental alienation, error, loss, distraction, disorder, confusion.

    I suppose this could apply to the time I spent this morning playing with my poop chute. Had to get it cleared out & un-kinked.

    (the RV-related puns & innuendos are going to be LIT)

    • Ownbestenemy

      Spicy! Make sure you really get in there. You don’t want to be going down the road and drop pellets like a bunny

    • westernsloper

      Did you snake it from both ends via double penetration?

      • Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

        No snaking needed. Just some gentle manual manipulation did the trick.

      • Mojeaux

        Hope you had gloves on.

        What happened with your neighbors with the dog?

      • Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

        They returned just after I logged off

    • whiz

      Unfortunately for me, someone else (with an M.D.) will be exploring my poop chute on Friday. (NOT a euphemism!)

      • Ted S.

        Hawt.

  9. Sean

    Double strip day. Neither pair is overly photogenic, but I’m sure they’ll be tasty.

    “Page of Coins โ€“ Application, study, scholarship, reflection, news, messages and the bringer thereof; also rule, management.”

    Doesn’t sound bad.

  10. Mojeaux

    Taurus: 10 of Swords โ€“ Pain, affliction, tears, sadness, desolation.

    Oh FFS!

    • Trigger Hippie

      I call that Tuesday.

      • Mojeaux

        Tuesdays are evil. That’s a fact.

      • Gender Traitor

        But Tuesdays (or the second day of the work week, at least) have the least amount of incoming mail to be sorted at my office.

        Monday is mail mountain day. ๐Ÿ˜–

      • Mojeaux

        Oh, I’m not saying Monday is without its problems, but it’s just the fuse for Tuesdays to blow up.

        Tangentially: I worked at a place that had Monday morning wrap-up meetings from the week before and planning for the week ahead. W.T.F. Who remembers what happened last week and what’s gonna happen this week without settling in to their workstations for a while? FFS, have the meeting after lunch or better, on Tuesdays, not Monday at 8:00 a.m. ๐Ÿ˜ก

      • Gender Traitor

        Yeah, one of our supervisors – the one with possibly the most direct reports – insists on having her weekly meetings with them on Monday mornings, and every other Monday I need her to be approving those employees’ timesheets instead. ๐Ÿ˜’

  11. Toxteth O'Grady

    “Folly, mania, extravagance…” I know a Libra for whom that is most apt.

  12. Sean

    Still smells like maple & vanilla in here. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

    • westernsloper

      Smells like charcoal and hickory poolside here. Brats going on soon.

      • Sean

        Nice. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

      • Ownbestenemy

        I’ve got a rack of ribs, a brisket flat and pork tenderloin all getting smoked today for the week.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Turkey smoking starts in an hour or so. Fuck the fire district and the inept state agency that came close to burning down the capital.

      • juris imprudent

        This weekend was an extravaganza of meat and booze.

  13. hayeksplosives

    Outstanding doggo pics today!!

    Brightens the mood.

  14. hayeksplosives

    Aries: 3 of Swords reversed โ€“ Mental alienation, error, loss, distraction, disorder, confusion.

    Ainโ€™t that the truth?

    I just submitted my application for an internal job at my same employer.

    There was a requirement to fill out an โ€œexemptionโ€ form since I have not yet completed a year at my current position. So I had to send my boss a form to get his permission to apply for a new internal job.

    I didnโ€™t want to have to tip him off, but there it is. He will probably call me Monday or maybe even today.

    • Gustave Lytton

      The internal time in position requirements are downright silly. Would they need a waiver to hire someone externally who was in some external position less than a year? Will they guarantee 100% job security to the employee for the entire year? No, then sorry you have to go through hiring another person, but that’s how it goes.

  15. kinnath

    Pisces: 4 of Swords reversed โ€“ Wise administration, circumspection, economy, avarice, precaution, testament.

    those words don’t make sense together

    • The Bearded Hobbit

      Forget it, kinnath, it’s IFLA-town.

      • Don escaped Texas

        To tell you the truth, I lied.

  16. juris imprudent

    3 of Swords reversed โ€“ Mental alienation, error, loss, distraction, disorder, confusion.

    Eh, looks like I got most of that out of the way this weekend.

  17. Don escaped Texas

    New Arizona Law Will Make it Illegal to Film Within Eight Feet of Police

    new Arizona law makes everyone film police from nine feet

    • Gustave Lytton

      Exception to bodycams? Oops, guess we’ll have to put those back on the shelf.

  18. UnCivilServant

    Lily is Clean!

    Faaaaake.

    Lily is never clean.

  19. Ted S.

    Money and violence. Itโ€™s like a mob movie

    Better than a moob movie.

    Leo: Ace of Coins โ€“ Perfect contentment, felicity, ecstasy, speedy intelligence; gold.
