Forty-six

At my mom's for the long weekend, in the town where I went to high school. This town is, I think, permanently stalled somewhere in the late seventies -- and that's not just because that was when I moved away. Swear to god, I opened up the newspaper and saw that one of the big upcoming concerts is the Doobie Brothers, and Styx just played here last week.

Funny, the things that manage not to change.

Gemini Horoscope for week of May 24, 2007

To best take advantage of the fresh and innocent cosmic forces that are offering themselves up to you, try experiments like the following: eat food you've never tried; listen to new music; climb a hill that has always been in the distance; have a down-to-earth conversation with a person who up till now hasn't been quite real to you; try erotic experiences you've wondered about; scrawl graffiti on a wall that has never been written upon; and push yourself to feel positive emotions that you may sometimes be too lazy or cynical to seek out, like playful reverence, intense curiosity, voracious gratitude, and surprised delight.

With the Sun sextile Saturn in your Solar Return chart, work you have done begins to pay off this year. You may be recognized or rewarded in some way for the efforts you put forth. Because you project a more responsible and credible “you”, people in authority tend to be more inclined to appreciate you and recognize your work. This is a year when you put your life in order in some significant manner.

...Well, all righty then.
