IFLA: The “Canned October III” Edition of the Horoscope for the Week of October 16

by | Oct 16, 2022 | IFLA | 39 comments

 

Running water is tastiest water.

 

This week is fairly placid, dominated by Venus until until Friday.  On that day, things get a bit hinky, with both the Moon and Jupiter retrograde indicating that things are going to be fucked up.  I’ll probably need to DQ somebody then.  Prior to that, on the 18th, things at the match are going to be super speedy as we get two swiftness indicators (Mercury and Saturn retrograde) lining up.  This might be good, but it’s never a safe bet to take anything involving Saturn (or retrograde motion) as an unmixed blessing.

 

The other dogs just don’t appreciate a good soak the way Lily does.

 

Libra:  3 of Coins – Métier, trade, skilled labor, nobility, aristocracy, renown, glory.

Scorpio:  Temperance reversed –  Things connected with churches, religions, sects, the priesthood,  disunion, unfortunate combinations, competing interests.

Sagittarius:  4 of Swords –  Vigilance, retreat, solitude, hermit’s repose, exile, tomb.

Capricorn:  The Sun – Material happiness, fortunate marriage, contentment.

Aquarius:  The Hermit reversed – Concealment, disguise, policy, fear, unreasoned caution.

Pisces:  10 of Wands reversed – Contrarieties, difficulties, intrigues.

Aries:  The Chariot reversed – Riot, quarrel, dispute, litigation, defeat.

Taurus:  King of Wands reversed – Good, but severe; austere, yet tolerant

Gemini:  Page of Swords reversed – The evil side of authority, overseeing, secret service, vigilance, spying, examination.

Cancer: The Blank Card – This card is blank.

Leo:  Ace of Swords reversed – Excessive degree in everything, conquest, triumph of force,  great force, in love as well as in hatred — but the results are disastrous.

Virgo:  7 of Coins reversed – Cause for anxiety regarding money especially which you may be proposed to lend.

 

Need a scorecard to keep track of the players

    Scorpio: Temperance reversed – Things connected with churches, religions, sects, the priesthood, disunion, unfortunate combinations, competing interests.

    This probably means I’ll get another visit from some Jehovah’s Witnesses.

    Last week’s: Scorpio: 3 of Cups reversed – Expedition, dispatch, achievement, end. It signifies also the side of excess in physical enjoyment, and the pleasures of the senses.

    Didn’t get laid, but I did get my teeth cleaned at the dentists, with good bill of oral health.

    @slumbrew

    I grill everything over the weekend. Since I don’t overcook the meat the first time, it microwaves just fine to be reheated.

    • Tundra

      Yep. I’ll make some filets tonight and enjoy the leftovers all week. Even burgers, etc.

      Prepping over the weekend makes not fucking up during the week much easier.

      • Sean

        😀

        Also gonna do some boneless pork chops today.

      • Tundra

        I’m looking for a local producer. The last few times I’ve had pork it didn’t agree with me.

        How do you grill the pork chops without drying them out?

      • Sean

        The Fresh Market here has very juicy pork. They call it prime pork.

        I grill to about 150.

    • Mojeaux

      XY likes my ground beef better than my husband’s. Mine’s “juicier.” Just don’t fry it as long. Barely, barely, barely browned.

      ?SYNTAX ERROR

    • Tundra

      The star battled with her mental health as a teenager but found tattoos to be a great way to express herself.

      *shocked face*

      • rhywun

        Yeah, she traded one mental illness for a different one.

      • J. Frank Parnell

        Reminds me of this.

      • Ted S.

        A generation ago, she would have been cutting herself.

  10. The Late P Brooks

    Scrolling through Bring a Trailer a little while ago, it looks like maybe prices are correcting a bit.

    sampling error, YMMV, et c.

    • Tundra

      IH Scouts and Broncos are still insane. Fjs are all over the place.

      But overall I agree with you. Looking for anything in particular?

  11. The Late P Brooks

    Looking for anything in particular?

    Not really, although I like that Camaro at the top of the page.

    7 liter LS, 6-speed, 70 1/2 split front bumper…

  12. The Late P Brooks

    That Volvo is cool. The center of mass is too high for spirited cornering.

  13. EvilSheldon

    Went to the range this morning and shot a bunch of Timmy drills. It was great. My sub-1.0sec concealed draw is not as reliable as it needs to be.

    Now for a long lunch at Dogfish Head.

    Forecast for this evening – 90% chance of noodling on the guitar while watching Michael Bay movies, with a possibility of more booze.

    • Tundra

      Living the dream. Enjoy, Sheldon.

      • Sean

        There was no mention about getting laid.

      • EvilSheldon

        Sadly, Mira Sorvino had a previous engagement this weekend.

  14. Mojeaux

    @Rhywun … love ya, bud, but today … we can be frenemies.

    • rhywun

      I’ve got Lack on my side too, I think

      Who ya got?

      • Mojeaux

        TriggerHippie, LJW, Glibertesian, I think Brooksie, maybe Ozy, possibly marginally Bro.

      • Mojeaux

        dbleagle and Raven Nation

  15. hayeksplosives

    Holy cow.

    When did the Atlanta Falcons decide to go full Nazi with their new logo?
