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.

Verticle Oracle card Gemini (May 21-June 20)
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.

Happy birthday! Tim is a Gemini, also (his bday is June 4). It's the best sign in my opinion. :)

Of course I riveted onto the part of your horoscope that suggested you explore erotic adventures you've never tried. Print out that page and keep it in your wallet, so you can show it around in case the Vice Squad appears. Ah, I remember the good/bad old days when the excise men used to come into the lesbian bars because we were "frequenting a public nuisance." We weren't allowed to dance together so we would have to run and sit down, leaving the lighted dance floor bare and the the jukebox blaring and we were all kind of sweaty and pretending that we'd been sitting there the whole time. I hope you soon have that naughty feeling, without the actual cops being involved. . .

Happy belated birthday and I hope all the good things in your horoscope come true immediately, Anne!
