IFLA: The “Anyone Left Alive?” Edition of the Horoscope for the Week of Dec 17

by | Dec 17, 2023 | IFLA | 136 comments

Since this will be posted only two days after Tardageddon, it’s entirely possible that the power grid or WordPress servers won’t have been recovered.  Still, hope springs eternal so here’s this week’s stellar advice.

No idea why they insist on wrestling west of us in the morning.


This week is of course dominated by MERCURY RETROGRADE, but it’ll be much more eventful than most as the rest of the planets have done a good job setting themselves up to be smacked around by the goofy wrecking ball. The week starts off with a general warning about miscommunication/misunderstandings, because MERCURY RETROGRADE is in opposition to Venus. Fortunately, this particular arrangement breaks up quickly. Sunday is also a terrible day for plumbing incidents. Coupling those two signs together, we can surmise that toilet seats will be more important than usual. Monday is a bit of a breather, but Tuesday MERCURY RETROGRADE aligns with Mars bringing military disaster, loss, pain, pointless destruction, unnecessary fights and probably some other stuff involving fire. This is followed up immediately with stuff breaking or going otherwise awry at home on Wednesday. Thursday you get a breather, but Friday… UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES engage in any sort of breath-play (including autoerotic asphyxiation) on Friday. BDSM in general is contraindicated, but absolutely nothing that could kill somebody. ‘K? Saturday is just generally terrible (especially if you disregarded the omens about Friday) but is particularly bad for any sort of precision sports since MERCURY RETROGRADE is sticking its flatulent ass backwards into Sagittarius the. Guns, archery, billiards, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Now, some autist can dox me by figuring out how tall I am.


Sagittarius: Knight of Cups reversed – Trickery, artifice, subtlety, swindling, duplicity, fraud.

Capricorn: Death – End, mortality, destruction, corruption.

Aquarius: 7 of Cups – Fairy favors, images of reflection, sentiment, imagination, some attainment but nothing permanent or substantial

Pisces: The Empress – Fruitfulness, action, initiative, length of days, the unknown, clandestine; also difficulty, doubt, ignorance.

Taurus: 9 of Cups – Concord, contentment, physical bien-être; also victory, success, advantage; satisfaction.

Gemini: Judgement – Change of position, renewal, outcome, total loss though lawsuit.

Cancer: 5 of Coins reversed – Disorder, chaos, ruin, discord, profligacy.

Leo: 8 of Coins reversed – Voided ambition, vanity, cupidity, exaction, usury. Also intelligence turned to cunning or intrigue.

Virgo: 3 of Wands – Established strength, enterprise, effort, trade, commerce, discovery.

Libra: 3 of Cups – The conclusion of any matter in plenty, perfection and merriment; happy issue, victory, fulfilment, solace, healing,

It’s cold enough people are putting coats on dogs again.

    Dishonest, double-dealing man;

    🤔

    That’s a longass list

    • Fourscore

      Sounds like Jimbo had his formal wear on last night.

      • KK, Plump & Unfiltered

        I think it was the hat that did it. Sloper and Tonio tied for 2nd. We came very close to having a tie for 1st place and a runoff.

  2. Sean

    “Cancer: 5 of Coins reversed – Disorder, chaos, ruin, discord, profligacy.”

    Bite me.

    • Beau Knott

      Hasn’t that been Cancer’s theme for the year? If I had a Karen, I’d send them after the management.

  3. Sean

    “UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES engage in any sort of breath-play (including autoerotic asphyxiation) on Friday. BDSM in general is contraindicated”

    Are ball gags still ok?

    • Aloysious

      What about unlubricated fun butt stuff?

      • SDF-7

        That’s just a pain in the ass.

  4. R.J.

    Sagittarius: Knight of Cups reversed – Trickery, artifice, subtlety, swindling, duplicity, fraud.

    The daughter was trying to pull a fast one in a game of put and take this morning. Checks out.

    Shpip, I am getting on a gigantic Royal Caribbean cruise ship momentarily.

    • Ted S.

      In a moment, or for a moment? :-p

      • R.J.

        In a moment. I am on, total pandemonium getting checked in. Just had my first drink. My constitution is recovering.

      • Sean

        Don’t fall overboard.

      • Ted S.

        He’s not as hot as Goldie Hawn.

      • R.J.

        They would just wonder why a Brussel sprout with a fez on is floating in the ocean. Then run it over .

    • Shpip

      Yeah, unloading and loading 2500 passengers within a few hours is remarkable, but it can be tedious. Doubly so when you have multi-generational groups: traveling with rambunctious kids or confused and cranky codgers.

      Everything on cruise ships seems to be trending bigger these last few decades. Voyager of the Seas was built around the turn of the century, is 138,000 gross tons, and normally fits around 2500 passengers and 1100 staff and crew. The brand-new Icon of the Seas is 250,000 tons and holds 5600 passengers and 2300 staff and crew.

      GlibsCruise will be on the Celebrity Eclipse, slightly smaller than the Royal Caribbean vessels.

      • R.J.

        I am doing Icon of the Seas next year. I will report back!
        *Snappy salute

      • rhywun

        Wait… you’re doing these cruises willingly?

      • Fourscore

        I took a few Atlantic cruises with 700 of my newest closest friends back in the ’50s. Not much entertainment though. and not voluntarily. I liked it better after we got air service.

      • Zwak says the real is not governable, but self-governing.

        The Queen Elizabeth II was used as a troop transport during the Falkland’s kerfuffle. So, wrong army, maybe?

      • Shpip

        Cruising has come a long way since the 1970s. You’re not getting piled in with thousands of others into a modified troop ship (with the attendant amenities and food). You can go as low- or high-rent as you like.

        Two night trip from Tampa to Cancun and back with your girlfriends / spouse / family in a 165 sq ft cabin? Sure.

        Six months at sea in a 1200 square foot suite, with Michelin-star quality meals, cool ports of call, attentive staff, and erudite fellow guests? That can be done, too.

        There will probably be an article or two about this as we reach the depths of winter.

  5. Don escaped Texas

    Gemini: Judgement – Change of position, renewal, outcome, total loss though lawsuit.

    nope, nope…watch this shit: I will absolutely crush those Georgia brats and their frivolous claims – Rudy Giuliani

    • juris imprudent

      Apparently he forfeited on defending his claims – so if this was the gospel fucking truth as everyone told me it was – why did he not show his cards? Truth is an absolute defense to defamation, and he didn’t even try – so no bullshitting about the court wouldn’t let him.

  6. The Late P Brooks

    Sagittarius: Knight of Cups reversed – Trickery, artifice, subtlety, swindling, duplicity, fraud.

    Sounds like a good week to start a political action committee, or maybe a nonprofit.

  7. Fourscore

    Lily has something for green collars, looks like

    • SDF-7

      The collar is always greener on the other side of the dog.

    • Not Adahn

      She always goes for the collar.

  8. SDF-7

    Sagittarius: Knight of Cups reversed – Trickery, artifice, subtlety, swindling, duplicity, fraud.

    Look, I admit that I ended up writing test cases that took the expected drive partition layout for each drive before the deletion and made sure we selected the right one to delete, then stepped to the next sequence which represented the drive layout as if the deletion happened instead of getting the f’ing mock to actually delete something and truly invoking the high level interface, okay?

    Not really fraud or saving my sanity in favor of having the test emulate the routine logic… and I did ask that we file a follow-up to figure this out when management isn’t breathing down my neck because this was supposed to be in the branch 3 days ago or anything…

    Hope y’all are having more fun… 😉

    • Ghostpatzer

      No coding on Sundays, one of the few perks of Christianity.

  9. Mojeaux, font of all evil

    If you’re white, and you see The American Society of Magical Negroes, does that make you a white supremacist? I can’t keep up.

    • SDF-7

      We can reduce your question:

      If you’re white… does that make you a white supremacist?

      Currently the Left answers “Yes”. And “Yes” in some cases if you’re black or “a brown body”. Or Asian (actually, especially a lot of Asians).

      • juris imprudent

        However, if you are white and wear the hair shirt, and make all the correct invocations, the left may consider you a penitent – until you slip just once and just a little.

    • slumbrew

      That trailer looks like something from the Bee

    • Lackadaisical

      Is that a real thing and not a joke?

      • Mojeaux, font of all evil

        That is a real thing. Bro dropped that Friday night as his First.

  10. Ted S.

    I don’t know how Joe Barry has a job.

  11. Mojeaux, font of all evil

    Drove past 1520 Main last night. She’s no longer there. Just a parking lot.

    • KK, Plump & Unfiltered

      🙁

    • Ghostpatzer

      Bummer.

      • Mojeaux, font of all evil

        Well, I mean, when I worked there, it wasn’t exactly paradise. It was the most dysfunctional workplace I’d ever been in, and I was the NORMAL one. Still, I fit in, so … I think I remember hating working there, but my real memories are funny and sweet and just oddball.

      • Ted S.

        So YOU were the one who drugged Marina!

  12. Ghostpatzer

    Gemini: Judgement – Change of position, renewal, outcome, total loss though lawsuit.

    Close. Scheduled hernia repair tomorrow, and got correspondence from insurance that hospital is out-of-network. YESTERDAY. I think they are full of shit, might be a side effect of the recent ransomware attack which shut down the hospital’s infrastructure, but still… I’m not postponing/rescheduling this, we’ll see what happens.

      • Fourscore

        …and serious, too….

    • R.J.

      Irritating. I agree, proceed and then submit an appeal later if they want $30,000 or something.

    • Homple

      Don’t wait. That thing strangulates and you’re literally shit out of luck.

      • Ghostpatzer

        What you have done, has been seen 🙂

      • Fourscore

        Boy howdy. VA misdiagnosed my second one, I knew they were wrong, I immediately went next door to a civilian doctor and then back to the VA for repair.

        First one my BIL (an MD) diagnosed it in the privacy of my bedroom. “You gotta get that fixed ASAP”

        Good luck G’patzer, both with insurance and the surgery

      • Ghostpatzer

        Thanks. This will be my third herni surgery. I’ve had two on the right side (was born with one, re-done at age 50), this will be the first on the left side. Balance will be restored.

    • Lackadaisical

      oof, best of luck on your surgery.

      • Lackadaisical

        Get yourself a good pelvic rehab therapist, if you want the best one in the world you need to come to Tampa.

    • Zwak says the real is not governable, but self-governing.

      Hell, I dealt with that 52 years ago, still have the scar!

      (speciously, I was born with a herniated stomach lining, had surgery at 11 months.
      best of luck to you!)

  13. LCDR_Fish

    *raises the nerd flag*

    I think I got into 40k a little too fast (read/watched some stuff, but missed some items – mostly because this other army was only re-added in 9th edition) – picking up marines as my first army. While I am still playing marines first (once I get my painting done) – my next army will definitely be the communal libertarian clones space dwarves – the Leagues of Votann.

    As I prefer to make my army a little more custom…I will probably try making my army The Outer GLIBB [Greater Libertopian Industrial Brokhyr and Beamers] Coalition. Now….open to color scheme suggestions that aren’t too complicated. Preferably not too much blue/grey since I’m using that in my marine army. This pic shows a sample of the main ones already established in the lore.

    Also, if anyone can link to a monocolor (b&w) basic version of the glib tophat/monocle logo – I will see about options for getting it printed up in “sticker” form for application to troops and vehicles.

    /nerd off

    • R C Dean

      Gadsden Flag yellow.

      • LCDR_Fish

        All yellow or using something else for highlights? Snek would make a good logo too…but really need the Glib simplicity.

      • R C Dean

        Can’t go wrong with black, but a gunmetal/charcoal gray might be interesting.

        Def use the Glibs logo.

      • LCDR_Fish

        Does anyone have a high res (or low bitcount for easy reproduction) quality b&w image of the logo?

    • juris imprudent

      tophat/monocle

      That may be the only part of that entire comment I understood.

    I had visions of Madame President this morning. Fortunately, it wasn’t to be. Nearing Barley Mill Rd. about 11am, I noticed patrol cars with light bars going at every intersection. “Dr. Jill’s husband must be home.”. Sure enough, the big signs were lit warning off traffic on Barley Mill Rd. “Wow, maybe I’ll see his motorcade returning from Mass.”. Rounded the bend near the church, and there’s fire trucks, ambulances, cop cars and black SUVs all over the intersection at rtes.100 and 141.
    Crumpled auto had been in a wreck. Not Joe, but wondering if some poor schlub had gotten into an accident as the Imperial Motorcade roared through Greenville,DE?

    • Ted S.

      I’m sure Joe will slander the other driver.

      Slow Joe tried to take a bath?

  15. Tres Cool

    I suppose this is a SafeSpace™ where I can share my dumb-fuckery, right? After all, we’re all friends here, right?

    Well, as you may know, I got in at 0200 yesterday after a week out for work, only to be leaving today for another week in Wyoming.
    After cutting all my plans short, getting laundry turned around, packed and out the door for the hour drive to CVG, upon presenting myself to the agent at the ticket counter I heard, “Uhhh….Mr Cool? You’re quite early. Your flight is tomorrow.”

    • slumbrew

      Oh, bravo.

    • hayeksplosives

      LOL. Sorry to chuckle; I don’t miss the road warrior life.

      Did you come back home or decide to go out a day early?

    • Sean

      😂😂

      Nice

    • Gender Traitor

      Why spend all that time driving back home? I’m sure OBE would be happy to put you up for the night! 😄

      • Tres Cool

        I shoulda just stayed down there but opted to drive back to sleep in MY bed one more night.
        The worst part is that I had a full head of “righteous indignation” built against my employer: “how DARE they have me out all week, 12-14 hour days, then when I get home in the middle of the night, barely any sleep, insist I go right back out and travel on the weekend. The nerve!”

        Only they didn’t. Now I have the weirdest blue-balls ever.

      Doubt.

      Grievance mongers unite! That’s all I got from that article. Despite the author trying to weave a narrative.

    • rhywun

      FFS the relations between blacks and Jews has never been very cordial. And yes, recent years have seen the divisive rhetoric dialed up to 11 – on purpose.

      The recent rise of protest movements against police brutality in the U.S., where structural racism plagues nearly every facet of life, has connected Black and Palestinian activists under a common cause.

      AYFKM? This is straight up propaganda.

      • Zwak says the real is not governable, but self-governing.

        Black professionals are into this whole BS hook, line and sinker. They have bought it mainly as the universities are peddling non-stop, and all the wokesters are giving it out with Xmas cookies right now.

    • R C Dean

      Strange fruit?

    • juris imprudent

      Wonder what the Black Israelites have to say about that?

      • Tres Cool

        Desmond Dekker weighs in ?

      • Beau Knott

        Damn, I haven’t heard that in 50+ years. Thanks for the link!

    • grrizzly

      Why so surprised? Being staunchly pro-Israel is a uniquely American position. People in other countries often sympathize with Palestinians. A year ago I took a tour of Belfast with a former IRA political prisoner/terrorist. He made it very clear that Republicans/Nationalists were on the side of Palestine and Unionists identified with Israel.

      It’s easy to see the injustice of being driven from most of your country and that still has not stopped in the West Bank. And then once in a while Israel starts bombing Palestinians rather indiscriminately. It’s not easy and it requires a lot of reinforcement to keep believing that Israelis are the good guys. Btw, I’m not trying to start the fight. I know how the Israelis see the situation. In fact, I agree with many pro-Israeli arguments. Though, not as much as I used to.

      • juris imprudent

        You know who hates the Palestinians the most – the rest of the Arab world around them. It’s almost as bad as the Kurds.

      • Semi-Spartan Dad

        I wouldn’t say it’s so much that Israel are the good guys, but rather that Palestinians, and much of the Middle East, are most definitely bad actors and that has been an inherent part of the culture/society/etc in that part of the world for millennia.

        Israel may not be the good guys, but they aren’t guilty of any crime that’s unique to any other country that condemns them. The hypocrisy of these other countries is a bit much.

      • Zwak says the real is not governable, but self-governing.

        Yeah, Northern Ireland Catholics are full on Pali backers. All sorts of solidarity murals and such.

      • Zwak says the real is not governable, but self-governing.

        I remember, as an 11 year old, being searched at gun point in a West German airport. Made our TSA theater seem the BS that it is.

        Assassinations at the Olympics, planes being hijacked in many countries, bombings, etc. But, what’s another dead Hebrew, more or less? Yes, so many countries have forgotten how bad PLO terrorism was back in the sixties and seventies, just as many of them have “forgotten” the holocaust.

      • Brochettaward

        Forgotten the Holocaust? We are only a few generations removed from their great grandparents and grandparents actively participating in and benefiting from it in many of those countries.

        I had an ignorant relative try and tell me there was never going to be another Holocaust so using as justification for Israel was stupid (ignoring thousands of years of violence against Jews in Europe and complete hindsight bias). The ignorance is strong. Jews should have just gone back to the way things were and living among neighbors who gleefully sent them to concentration camps to die while stealing their shit (it isn’t just limited to Germany, either – there should be guilt in many European nations).

        The rest of the world can “sympathize” (or hate) whoever they want. The anti-Israel rhetoric really is becoming openly anti-Semitic more and more as I get older.

    I was Rudolph for the fire company Santa run this afternoon. Had to piss so bad when we got back to the station that the bladder emptied, but nothing above that. Fifteen minutes later, the rest had finally drained down to the bladder and was good to go. This horoscope was nothing compared to that.

    In the morning people asked who was the top in the Senate gay sex tape. There are speculations that this was a German guy.

    Georg Gauger is a Current student at Elliott School of International Affairs, which is right down the street from the US Senate. Georg Gauger also worked for the German Government.

    In a screenshot from Aidan’s Instagram the day he filmed his sex tape, he tagged Georg on Instagram in the picture below, where he’s seen naked in the Senate building. The text on Aidan’s photo says he took Georg’s “thick German sausage and a jager sauce finish ”.

    This is a reference to Georg, who is German, penetrating Aidan anally from behind.

    • R.J.

      Of COURSE it’s a German!

      • R.J.

        Would have been great if it was a Russian.

    • Shpip

      “thick German sausage and a jager sauce finish”

      The best German sausage I ever ate was at a small place in London, maybe two hundred yards from the Tower, right alongside the river.

      It was the Wurst of Thames.

      Somebody really should’ve sat Aiden down and had a frank discussion with him about workplace decorum.

        Meh… he’s a hero in what passes for “the gay community” now.

      • Beau Knott

        And there’s reason 10^1000 why I have nothing to do with ‘the community’. I can remember when it wasn’t a toxic cesspool, but that’s been a loooooong time gone.

      • rhywun

        Same.

        However… some memories resurface which make me realize it’s always been a cesspool, if not as bad as today.

        You guys are all wrong-think gays, so your opinions don’t count.

    Dishonest cvnts, but I should expect nothing less from the media. They’re painting it as if the fascist right wing loony libertarian is showing his true colors and shutting down Democracy.

    In reality, he’s saying don’t shut down or destroy the roads or other infrastructure or you’ll have to pay for it.

    I’ve seen what is acceptable protests in South America, and i couldn’t believe it. Shutting down major highways with no other way around with burning tires,or car and bus blockades. It’s wild what they get away with.

    On top of that, the sound byte is an out of context xweet quote from a guy 1. Not in the government and 2. In the opposition party from Milei.

    • rhywun

      Oh god the Grauniad is going to go apeshit.

      “We have lived for many years under total and absolute disorder. It is time to put an end to this method, to the extortion suffered by citizens,” said Bullrich, who added that demonstrators could “protest on the pavement”.

    I flipped through Trump’s coffee table book while visiting my parents earlier this month. There were some real gems in there. My favorite was Trump’s comment about McCain’s funeral: it dragged on forever, much like the wars he voted for.

    I forgot about the part that McCain requested that Sarah Palin not attend his funeral. Someone should have told him she’s not the reason he lost the 2008 election.

    Trump’s correspondence with Kim Jong Un was interesting to read. I can’t think of any other president who could have managed that.

    • Toxteth O'Grady

      Got a title or link?

    • Brochettaward

      I don’t think any other potential president’s ego would allow them to engage directly with Kim Jung Un whereas Trump’s peculiar ego made it just common sense. The rest view it as beneath their station and the dignity of the US presidency to engage with the leader of a terrorist state *snort*.

    Adam Carolla’s Ace Awards edition has some great wrap-up recollections from this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nQFbhhaKwg

    Even better, you can listen to Mike Dawson getting progressively drunk as it progresses. “You’re taking an uber home!”

    • slumbrew

      That’ll be a listen for the next few dog walks.

      No longer quite a daily listener but I still enjoy the show. Just listened to Dershowitz today.

      I sort of miss Bald and Gina but I assume it was divorce-related cost cutting. The divorce appears to be killing him but good to hear they’re in the beginning of the end.

      Way too early to get up for me! 2:30 on the west coast. Just woke up coughing and such. Fed the cat, watched an episode of Cold Case, and crawled back into bed.

      The only Christmas gift I bought was for a workplace secret Santa thing. Still have to wrap it though!

      Last night the local restaurant where I went for pizza and football had bingo going, so I won my pizza free and also won a Christmas tea towel.

      Little mundane fun to wrap up the weekend.

      Good morning, Sean, Beau, hayek, Teh Hype, and U. (So sorry you’re sick, U! Hope you feel better ASAP! 😟)

      Under our first “Winter Weather Advisory” of the season. Nothing major – just snow showers and wind starting late morning. Yippee. 😒

        Drive safe.

        I’m going to drag myself out of this chair… eventually.

      • Gender Traitor

        Will do – thanks.

        Take it easy! Has the nausea subsided, and do you have any other symptoms?

    Comin at you like a First out of hell. That’s how you start the day.

    Cock locked and loaded.

      Good for you Bro, maybe you have a future in Senatorial politics.

    Good morning!

    I see that Bostonians are up to their classic racisiming. They held a 250th Tea Party “reenactment” in which they completely whitewashed the insurrectionists:

    Note what they’re NOT wearing:

    Someone should sue them for inadequately preparing an environmental impact study.

      Maybe that was the Christmas Party that only white people could attend, after the mayor held one only for ‘Electeds of Color’.

      • R C Dean

        Unbelievably, after the invitation fiasco which leaked that the Mayor had a No Crackers party, she went ahead and had it anyway. I really didn’t expect that, but I guess I’m still mired in a past when racism was bad and people were capable of shame.

      • Not Adahn

        Apparently the “I’m dreaming of a whiteless Christmas” party is a long-running tradition. You can’t expect her to break it can you?
