So Mote It Be ~ Cancer this week

I’ve got three related questions for you, Cancerian. 1. Are there any roles you play in which your selfish and unselfish tendencies overlap? 2. What situations allow you to be most completely yourself as you provide a fine service to others? 3. Which of your skills generate the most blessings and gifts? The next 12 months will be a favorable time for you to identify these roles, situations, and skills, and cultivate them to the max. You’ll have prime opportunities to express your special genius while doing good deeds.

Well, blessed be. I have yet to answer these questions, except in terms of my sobriety, but this is good food for thought. I could really use 12 months of favorable times.

Planning on working with Hermes/Mercury tomorrow for the full moon. Ritual focus? Gainful employment. ASAP.

Going to make up an incense for Mercury and see what we can do.

Two of the best money-saving steps you can take, says TV’s mock pundit Stephen Colbert, are to stop filling your hot tub with champagne and stop lining your gerbil’s cage with hundred-dollar bills. I highly recommend that you brainstorm about initiating similar conservative and preservative actions, Cancerian. It’s time for you to get really serious about shedding wasteful habits, cutting out needless excesses, and culling trivial activities that impinge on the time and energy you have available for the really important things. This shouldn’t be a cause for demoralization, by the way. On the contrary, the more creative you are about setting limits, the more long-term blessings you’ll set in motion.

Whether I want to or not, this is the path I am on. Good thing I want it.

Have a second interview for a second part time job in a couple hours. Had a very nice chat with the fellow who owns the company this morning. After my interview on Tuesday they sent me an email asking for my expert advice about the project. My friend R says this means I got the job. They still have one more person to interview next week so I’m not certain of anything yet but it’s looking promising. The great thing about the Tuesday job is that it has full benefits for the duration of the job. Woot.

It would be fabulous if I could get two part time jobs, both mostly working from home. Going to do a prosperity ritual now that the new moon is starting to wax.

Future or Past… Gee, which one should I choose?

“I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past,” said Thomas Jefferson. It might feel a bit unnatural to live as if that were your motto, Cancerian, but I hope you’ll try it for a while. Here’s the experiment I propose: Whenever you have a spare moment, visualize a pleasurable and interesting scene you would like to create for yourself in the future. If a fearful image pops into your mind as you do that, imagine yourself rolling that image up into a ball and throwing it into a roaring fire. Meanwhile, any time your attention begins to wander off in the direction of the old days and old ways, pounce on it and redirect it into a vision of a fulfillment to come. Halloween costume suggestion: the person you’ll be five years from now.

*laugh* I feel like I’m always a few days ahead of my horoscope. This has been going on for years. Reading my horoscope and saying to myself, “Hey I just finished going through that. It isn’t for next week, it’s for last week.”

C’est la vie. It’s still spot on almost every single time.

Sometimes it makes sense for you to be conservative and cautious and skeptical of novelty. A periodic immersion in the slow-motion approach helps you maintain a strong center of gravity and allows you to be true to yourself in the face of the pressure you get to be like everyone else. The past few weeks have been such a time for you, Cancerian. Soon, though, you’ll begin to feel urges to take some risks, instigate fresh trends, and express yourself with more daring and expansiveness. Are you game?

I think that’s a dare… Oh dear. ust got bitch slapped by the tail of end of Mercury Retrograde. *sigh* Not feeling very adventurous at the moment but I’m sure I’ll feel better by nightfall.

Geesh.

I am howerver looking forward to Saturday. Not the 4 hour photo shoot for an ungrateful client but the Witches Masquerade Ball. Oh yes! The dress is finished. I tried to take pictures but they were all crap so maybe I’ll get some good ones this weekend.

And remember? Micheal will be there. Had some very interesting discussions with my pendulum last night. I don’t believe it, I think it’s lying. But oh goodness, what if it wasn’t??? I can hardly wait to see what happens. If nothing else, there are going to friends there I know and friends I haven’t met and it should a lot of fun.

Oh! I didn’t tell you what my costume theme/character is. Since the dress is a pseudo historic gown I’m going to put a fetish necklace around my neck, some charms off my belt, make myself pale and drawn, and put a loose noose around my neck and rope bracelets. Since my hair is short and white I plan on attempting to make it look as thought it was hacked off as a punishment… I’m going as one of the dead Salem witches. I haven’t decided if I want to be Rebecca Nurse or Goody Good. Perhaps Bridget Bishop. She was the first to die and since Bridget is a name I go by sometimes, yes, maybe that is it. Gotta go find instructions on how to tie a noose. Kind of freaky in it’s own way…

Cancer for the Week

One of the most famous pop culture icons in Indonesia died last July. Mak Erot, who was over a hundred years old, was renowned for her skill in helping men develop more sizable reproductive organs. The official story was that she used nothing more than prayers and herbs, but there are hints that she also had supernatural powers. She’s your patron saint this week, Cancerian, even if you’re a woman. I am calling on her inspiration, and I hope you will too, to help you lengthen and strengthen your inner, metaphorical phallus, by which I mean your will to accomplish your dreams.

Not much to say except that “It’s a keeper!”

And that I have updated my mantra for work to:

$50 per hour
20 hours per week
Flexible location and hours
Lovely people

Just applied for what looks like the perfect job.  It appeared, just like that, on a Saturday.  Right down the road.  Exactly what the mantra says, every point was in the ad.
