IFLA: The “Social Times” Edition of the Horoscope for the Week of April 2

by | Apr 2, 2023 | IFLA | 40 comments

Spring is here, some of the fair-weather park-goers are coming back.

Troy, Lily, Ghost, Daisy, Rex. It’s time for me to have to deal with swiffer-coat again.

This week the Moon and Mercury are running wild as is their wont.  And also as befitting their fickle nature we’re getting both ends of the luck spectrum here.  Starting on Monday (Moon day) the moon is doing its bit along with Saturn to bring things to a close.  What ends?  Dunno.  I could check but it’s been a busy week and I’m running out of time to get this written and submitted.

*Feels guilty, checks*

Nope, not going to tell you other than the “ending” is a metaphysical sort that none of you reading this (except maybe CPRM) have any business interacting with.  Now shoo!

Thursday-Friday-Saturday we get that do-si-do that the Moon and Mercury are good at as they exchange partners with each other and temporarily align to bring us two days of being lucky in love and a third day of random luck swings.  Not in that order, the random bit is between the two good bits.  Libra gets its scales thumped then too, so keep your head on a swivel.

Lily, Ghost, Skye, Tank, Troy

Aries: 5 of Coins – Material trouble, love and lovers, concordance, affinities.

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

Gemini: The Lovers reversed – Failure, foolish designs, marriage frustrated.

Cancer: Ace of Coins reversed – The evil side of wealth, bad intelligence

Leo: Queen of Cups reversed – Good woman, also distinguished woman not to be trusted; perverse woman; vice, dishonor, depravity.

Virgo: Blank card – This card is blank

Libra: Judgement reversed – Weakness, pusillanimity, simplicity, deliberation, decision, sentence.

Scorpio: Ace of Swords – Triumph, the excessive degree in everything, conquest, great force in love as well as in hatred. 

Sagittarius: Queen of Coins –  Opulence, generosity, magnificence, security, liberty. 

Capricorn: Ace of Wands –  Creation, invention, enterprise, principle, beginning, source, birth, family, origin.

Aquarius: 6 of Coins – Presents, gifts, gratification, attention, vigilance. This card needs its own writeup.

Pisces: 3 of Wands reversed – The end of troubles, suspension or cessation of adversity, toil and disappointment.

Skye, Ghost, Lily, Bones, Troy

If I’m able to, I’ll post something in the comments showing how little Lily and Ghost’s relationship has changed even though he’s been gone for months.

    You big tease!

    • Not Adahn

      There are some things you are just Not Meant to Know.

      • Fourscore

        You betcha!

      Oh, shit.

    Aries: 5 of Coins – Material trouble, love and lovers, concordance, affinities.

    Hmm. Checks out .Lover won’t be here til the 26th though.

    The material trouble is wonderfully vague. Considering that I am still moving into my apartment and “nesting”, anything could fit that category. Hopefully nothing too big!!

    From the dead thread

    | As someone who was born in a Soviet Republic, there are two categories of people that communists immediately discard, even worse than lumpenproletariat. That is:

    1. The “degenerates” — Once the revolution is achieved, Communists always, always become very socially conservative.

    I’m not sure it’s actually social conservatism, or it’s just an easy way to isolate and destroy actual or potential threats to your power. Beria was allowed to be a serial rapist for years as long as he was useful. Once that was over, bullet in the back of the head.

    Bath time for Lily!

    Leo: Queen of Cups reversed – Good woman, also distinguished woman not to be trusted; perverse woman; vice, dishonor, depravity.

    Not sure if that’s gonna suck or be totally awesome.

    • dbleagle

      How did AOC and Hillary sneak into Tundra’s horoscope?

      • hayeksplosives

        Phew.

        Glad to hear it’s not me!!

    • Fourscore

      Because Nancy hadn’t sobered up yet?

  5. whiz

    Gemini: The Lovers reversed – Failure, foolish designs, marriage frustrated.

    Well, crap.

  6. Grumbletarian

    Scorpio: Ace of Swords – Triumph, the excessive degree in everything, conquest, great force in love as well as in hatred.

    Bring it.

    I’m watching Night Agent on Netflix. It’s the fastest-paced thing I’ve seen in a long time.

    • R C Dean

      I’ll be finishing up Vox Machina in a day or two. Whoever recced in, thanks. I don’t know that I would have picked it up otherwise, but it has been really fun. Saw the Night Agent and thought “Maybe”, since I’m coming up on a show hole.

    • Grummun

      We’re down to the last episode. It’s been good enough so far.

      Previously. we watched The Recruit, which amused me because it depicts the CIA as a disfunctional pack of power grasping, backstabbing juveniles.

      • Grummun

        Ooh I left off “ass-covering”.

    • Ted S.

      I just watched Solarbabies. Did RJ do that as one of his Thursday night picks?

  8. CPRM

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

    But my party isn’t until next month.

    • Fourscore

      Can’t have a party without proper preparations, a dry run or two. Heehehe, I said ‘Dry Run’.

  9. PieInTheSky

    whenever there is a NBA game at a good hour for me it is always a shit one. Toronto Charlotte… who the fuck wants to watch that

  10. Gustave Lytton

    What a shock. After bragging for years about still being 32oz, Dukes is now 30oz.

    • rhywun

      I’d rather companies were just honest and raise the price on the regular size when they have to. Shrinkflation just says they think we’re stupid. I don’t like being insulted.

    Well, I pick up my truck on Friday.

    If the insurance for the responsible party will cut a check for my expenses, I will basically be whole again.

    • Fourscore

      Good to hear. Hope for the best.

  12. The Late P Brooks

    Sagittarius: Queen of Coins – Opulence, generosity, magnificence, security, liberty.

    I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a rich young widder lady.

    • The Hyperbole

      I didn’t get it submitted until yesterday so Swiss and/or Tonio may not have seen it yet, I kinda mailed it in this week anyway so no big loss.

      • Mojeaux

        I found it and posted it.

  13. dbleagle

    I am off for some racing. Enjoy your day everybody.

  14. Rebel Scum

    Aquarius: 6 of Coins – Presents, gifts, gratification, attention, vigilance.

    I’m gonna get laid?

    • Ted S.

      Nope.
