IFLA: The “Hurricane” Edition of the Horoscope for the Week of July 24

by | Jul 24, 2022 | IFLA | 35 comments

Bare granite summits give fantastic views.

 

OK, so this match has pretty garbage communication. I just received my first email from them in weeks saying that there were still seats available for the staff dinner.  Attached to tat was a link to the match book (which I had not been informed had been released) and in that I found out my stage assignment (not that they had bothered to tell me).  And they misspelled my name.  NYT level journalisming.

 

A surprising amount of smells on rock.

 

This is an auspicious week for official-type army stuff, what with Mars and Jupiter being boosted by the sun.  Wednesday night is an excellent time for sex, with the Moon and Venus working together.  Enjoy that, since there’s a rough patch beginning on Saturday when Mercury brings its clusterfuckery to bear on Mars.

Sorry there isn’t more.  The skies can be boring like that.

 

Lily understands the value of high ground.

 

Cancer:  6 of Swords – Journey by water, route, way, envoy, commissionary, expedient.

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

Virgo:  Queen of Cups – Good, fair woman, honest, devoted, intelligence, gift of vision, success, happiness, pleasure, wisdom, virtue.  A fairly decent card.

Libra: The High Priestess – Secrets, mystery, the future as yet unrevealed, silence, tenacity, mystery, wisdom, science.

Scorpio:  The Fool reversed – Negligence, absence, distribution, carelessness, apathy, nullity, vanity.

Sagittarius:  The Hierophant – Marriage, alliance, captivity, servitude, mercy and goodness, inspiration.

Capricorn:  Wheel of Fortune reversed – Increase, abundance, superfluity.

Aquarius:  8 of Coins – Work, employment, commission, craftsmanship, skill in craft and business.

Pisces:  2 of Cups reversed – The unravelling of a relationship, the revelation of damaging secrets.

Aries:  Page of Cups – News, message; application, reflection, meditation.

Taurus:  2 of Wands – Riches, fortune, magnificence, physical suffering, disease, chagrin, sadness, mortification. In case you’re wondering why these reading are as they are, the card is someone who’s ambition never gives way to satisfaction with their accomplishments.  Alexander weeping because there is nothing left to conquer, or Ebeneezer Scrooge living a meager lifestyle in order to increase his (unappreciated) fortune.

Gemini:  7 of Cups – Daydreaming, idle speculation, insubstantial or transitory accomplishments.

 

Relax. Cool off. Wash the trail mud from your coat.

    Re Taurus. Wow. Just … wow. I knew Taurus were drama queens, but sheesh.

    Wonderful pics!

    That high ground pic is hilarious. Lily isn’t just a pretty face!

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

    I’ll take it!

      Excellent taste in suits!

        At the end, when they are shaking hands, he is clearly protecting his left side. He must have serious long-term damage from that attack.

      • slumbrew

        I dig the seersucker and the white bucks but really don’t care for the mock turtleneck with the suit.

  5. Name's BEAM. James BEAM.

    I always seem to arrive late for the important news.

    Spud, Furry Wolf, or whatever you’re calling yourself lately, my condolences about your wife. By sheer coincidence, a dear aunt of ours also died with dementia on the same day as your wife; her husband pre-deceased her by about 7 weeks (not dementia, just old age). The original memorial was gonna be for him only at the end of August, and now it’s a two-fer.

    I hope you and OMWC can be The Two Musketeers of Alfred.  👍

    • slumbrew

      L0b0t is also there as the hot-headed young musketeer, to nicely round things out.

      • Name's BEAM. James BEAM.

        Excellent.

  6. PieInTheSky

    Cancer: 6 of Swords – Journey by water, route, way, envoy, commissionary, expedient.

    1. no journey is imminent

    2. commissionary is not a word recognized by site spellcheck

    • Sean

      Yeah. No journey by water here.

  7. Grosspatzer

    Wednesday night is an excellent time for sex

    Wait, is there a bad time?

    Gemini: 7 of Cups – Daydreaming, idle speculation, insubstantial or transitory accomplishments.

    Bah.

    • slumbrew

      Wait, is there a bad time?

      Let me tell you why we’re no longer welcome in Home Depot…

      • Zwak doesn't know what to ignite and what to extinguish

        “It’s in the name! Home, well, obviously, and depot, were things ‘arrive’ if you know what I mean!”

      • TARDis

        You can do it. We can help.

        *sigh*
        I miss good customer service.

    • Not Adahn

      Penile fracture.

    A very cool explanation on how mechanical watches work. Very detailed and full of great animations.

    • Tundra

      Amazing. Thanks, dude. This is really cool!

      • MikeS

        The “riot” didn’t even make the local news, so I’m guessing the NYP may be exaggerating a tish. Even the pics in the story show a mostly empty stadium.

      The elusive Reverse Boating Accident!

    • Name's BEAM. James BEAM.

      Damn. That’s where I put that artillery shell!

      And the pistol looks like it’s been rendered inoperable. I don’t suppose that’ll dampen the whinging about tEh GuNz, though…

  9. Sean

    Shouldn’t Cancer have been shuffled down?

    • Not Adahn

      Yes, but I wrote this well ahead of time.

  10. one true athena

    Virgo is quite complimentary. I’ll take it!

    And great Lily pics. What a good doggo!

    • Not Adahn

      I have been without her since Thursday morning. But I pick her back up tomorrow!

  11. Aloysious

    Scorpio: The Fool reversed – Negligence, absence, distribution, carelessness, apathy, nullity, vanity.

    So. All the good stuff.

    I first read absence as ‘abstinance’, and I was going to say that I refuse to give up drinking.

  12. Not Adahn

    The match I’m at is raising money net for service dogs. Yes, thy brought puppies.

    • Tundra

      Those conniving bastards!

    • Sean

      Awww.
