Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
Message from the Microwits: I am Boogaboo. Fear meeeeeeee…Why do I keep falling behind this entertainment center? The Napoleon has to reach down and pull me out by the scruff of my neck and then the indignity of it all, he washes all the dust off me. Is this any way for big, mean Tom cats to behave, I ask you?????
Message from Mommy: I can’t help but wonder how long it is going to take Boogaboo to figure out he can’t hit the 4 inch top of the TV at 30 MPH and stop on a dime? So, he slides off the top, down the back and down behind the entertainment center. If it weren’t for Napoleon, he would still be there.
Message from Fiona: My paws are nice and clean. I can’t understand why Mommy can’t keep her legs clean.
Message from Mommy: Yetch, you filthy little demon. You ran across the wet floor, into the kitty pan and then jumped up my legs which are now streaked with brown. When I get my hands on you….
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will not be at the shop until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….but I will be on line doing readings.
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is Red and the incense is Ginger.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is the Moon: gratification. Constantly changing your mind and your moods is confusing everyone. Can you see why no one wants to be around you. Take a good look at your life style and see if you are driving people away.
Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2007 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically, September starts with a bang as morning brings communications flowing fast and furious. It seems like you’ve got mail, everywhere and the phone won’t stop ringing. Pay close attention to the electronic communications as they will bring the best news. You are tempted to say yes to a social invitation this afternoon though something seems a little off. Don’t do it because later tonight you will not be feeling or acting your best.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say this is good day to back away from others and awaken your true self.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is Up on the Cat Walk. “You’re the center of attention. Strut your stuff.”
Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for Gloominous Doom. He wrote the worst case scenario handbook. He is best friends with Murphy. If you want a pity party, he is guy to organize it. Just keep in mind once you start feeling sorry for yourself, it is a quick trip to giving up and then you never will solve your problems.
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 3 and the Element is earth. The Rabbit finds conflict but the Rat has ease. Today is NOT an auspicious day for haircuts, medical procedures, writing, gambling, construction or births.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “There is no criticism within me or against me. Negativity vanishes from my life. Together, we play and create a world of peace, joy and love for ourselves and for all mankind.” Annie Marquier creating a world peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
It was a rough night. I know it means the nerves are reconnecting but couldn’t they have waited until the healing was over? I managed to drive to Target to get my pads to dress the wound, but it started hurting like someone slicing through my forehead with a knife and George had to take over driving. I guess it is going to be a while before I drive anywhere on my own. Now I just feel like someone is sticking red hot pins in my forehead and scalp.
The really good news is, the pet store got Turtle’s favorite food in. Last night she heard the pellets rattling in the bag and that little head jerked up and I got the beady eye stare that means: you had better not run out of pellets because I am not eating that other stuff! Now the other stuff is perfectly good turtle food in a can but she doesn’t like it. I even have a spoiled turtle! We took her to Homestead and she had a fit because the water was different! She can really throw a tantrum.
I am trying to get some work done. I have some laundry in the machine. Today is sterilize your towels and pillow slip day. I am very paranoid about the wound. I managed to wash another cabinet down. I just do what I can and keep moving around the house in a circular pattern. I know it is a strange way to clean but it works for me. Of course, when George returns to work tomorrow, it will be easier to clean without him in the middle of it. For some reason he takes exception to me spraying him with Clorox clean-up.
I can’t believe it is the first day of September. I don’t even remember August. My surgery was on July 13th. It was a Monday. It’s been 6 weeks of confinement. I feel like I am serving a sentence!

Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
Message from the Microwits: I am Boogaboo. Fear me! Mommy finally stopped eating those horrible veggies and bought a chicken from Costco. Then she deboned it. I got the biggest, bestest, meatiest piece and stole it right out from under those bigger cats. Then I hid in the hallway with it and ate until I could chew no more. Then I tired to sleep on it but my sneaky sister, Fiona, pulled it right out from under me while I was trying to nap.
Message from Mommy: All the cats are celebrating my return to being able to chew meat. If Boogaboo doesn’t stop challenging the bigger cats, I am going to be patching the little idiot up. You do not mess with Josephina when she has meat. Heck, she scares me! Those eyes are positively evil looking.
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….AND the good news is, I should be back on line doing Tarot readings Tuesday. I am sure my silly ear piece is here somewhere. If not, I will go to speaker. The only good thing about a blackberry is it has one good speaker in it.
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is ivory and the incense is hyssop.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is the Three of Pentacles: foundation. Take stock of the world around you and how it is moving and then update your arsenal of abilities. Getting rid of old habits opens you up to a brand new way of seeing things.
Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2007 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically, the Moon enters Aquarius at 11:43 PM EDT. For about a month, we have the desire to really cut corners in health, food and details. If you do, old wounds will surface. Authorities and elders make surprise emotional declaration.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say it is hard to rise above your problems but unless you do, you will not succeed in starting new projects.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is Sophisticat. “Steep yourself in culture. Learn one new thing today.”
Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for the Spirit Dancer. I think this is her first appearance for us. She promotes self expression, freedom and exploration. She will help you focus on the process of the project. Spontaneity must be balanced with planning and hard work to succeed.
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 4 and the Element is earth. The Tiger finds conflict today but the Horse has ease. Today is not an auspicious day for haircuts.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “”There is no need to rush. Time is working in my favor. With God’s help, everything falls back into place in a perfectly appropriate way for my highest good. I stay calm an confident, I take the time to celebrate the perfection of the moment with serenity and joy.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
I swear I am at BJ’s buying cat food every other day. I think they have learned to open the cans because I am certain I am not feeding them that much. Lady Jayne has moved in with me which has Napoleon’s nose totally out of joint but all cats know; you don’t challenge Lady Jayne. She has huge faux Persian paws and she knows how to hit with them. She also knows how to grab my hands and force me to pet her. If I wear out, my nose will do. It is amazing how much energy you find when a cat is rubbing their chin and drooling on your nose. Late last night Napoleon made me get up and set the water fountain up in the bedroom. He wants his water properly chilled by the air conditioner. Do you think my cats are spoiled? Maybe just a tad……
I am hoping the new fragrance oils come in next week. They will be inexpensive and I can get more of them unlike the previous brand which was always a crap shoot. In my Universe the bad news is the minimum order….but I will do my best to keep the stock up. Providing George doesn’t electrocute himself working on the Air conditioner at the shop…in which case I become a well off widow and move to the farm I always wanted…I may be back in the shop sooner than expected. I looked at my forehead last night and for the first time I can actually say I see it closing up. Of course the scalp is pulled so tight I can barely stand to touch it. I can’t even put a scarf over my head without pain. Soon, I will be able to wear my hats…I hope.

Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
Happy Birthday George!
Message from the Microwits: I am Boogaboo, please help! Mommy is still vegetarian. It is horrible. No steak, chicken, lobster or pork has passed my little teeth to my tummy. How can you fear a vegetarian cat?
I am Fiona, scourge of all cats. Fear me! I don’t need meat, I have brains. I also had that wonderful stuff that comes in the little jars but I had to fight Princess Probe for it.
Message from Mommy: Fiona is proving to be the smartest and sneakiest of the Microwits. Last night George brought home a huge apple box from Costco, figuring that being all reinforced and with handle holes, it would be perfect to carry stuff around he was rearranging. Naturally, Precious thought it was perfect for sleeping but he only managed to stand it on the shortest end. This morning Purdy von Sweets crawled on top of the box and went to sleep. In went Fiona and up went the little claws through the hand hold right into Purdy’s side. Purdy immediately jumped up and reached back through the hole to swat Fiona, but her arm wasn’t long enough. So Fiona was just laying there swatting Purdy’s paw. Purdy jumped down, went into the box and slapped the daylights out of Fiona. Keep in mind, I do not interfere as long as the claws are sheathed. Did Fiona learn her lesson? Heck no! She has been waiting for another cat to go to sleep on the box. I really hope my teeth are ready because I want some Costco hamburger! I found an old jar of baby food and gave it to them. Wow, those cats do love baby food, but Boogaboo is still whining for meat.
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is blue and the incense is Magnolia.
Happy Day of Thoth. Thoth was the creator of the Universe and all Magic. He is the warrior healer. The evil eye jewelry are his amulets.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is the Seven of Wands: fortitude. This is not the time to desert your principles. Weaker people will desert you. You are better off without their dead weight around your neck.
Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2007 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically, the Moon enters Capricorn at 10:44 AM EDT. Suddenly, even authority figures are proposing change but those who are in their comfort zones are going to fight loudly and long against anything that smells like change. By evening expect arguments and social events turn into war zones.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say reach for higher consciousness today.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is Catapult. “Launch yourself forward. Go for it!”
Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for the Fee Lion. The Fee Lion is closely related to cats who are experts at laying guilt upon their owners. He is known as “slight accusation” or Accusation of Slight. He is the creature on your shoulder whispering in your ear as begin to goof off: you should have…..and he has a list. So, you might as well get thing done.
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 6 and the Element is fire. The Rat finds conflict today but the Rooster has ease. Today is an auspicious day for births.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “I acknowledge the light within every human being. I love, respect and accept each person as the manifestation of the Divine Will on earth. IN so doing, I allow those around me to manifest the best of their being. Together we bring healing, beauty and freedom into our world for the highest good of all.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
Well, the hamburger was literally swimming in blood. Now, I like blood but I am not paying for it by the pound! So the cats will be sharing a chicken with me. Since tomorrow (the 29th) is George’s birthday, we now have apple pie, ice cream and whipped cream. Just for the record, ice cream is cheaper than whipped cream and heavy cream so…WHAT IS IN ICE CREAM????
I was worried about going out without a hat. Yesterday I wore my little hats and just that tiny amount of pressure on a scalp that is stretched to its limits had caused a lot of pain today. Turns out what I should have worried about was needing a boat to get back. Even though the pain is now pins and needles…really, really hot ones…I am still cutting the pill into quarters tonight because I hate waking up feeling like someone hit me in the face with a sledge hammer and wondering where I put my Costco card and it is in my hand. That is the effect of one low dose pain killer cut in half at night on me. So if you think you are functioning while using these drugs, folks, it’s the drugs talking.
Napoleon is sitting at the door giving me the evil eye. First off, I put ear medicine in his little ears and secondly, I left and went to Costco. He is determined he will keep me here all day like he has been for over a month. His nose is totally out of joint.

Message from the Microwits: I am Boogaboo. Fear me! Help me! Mommy went vegetarian last night. I can not, I will not, eat black beans and rice. Don’t even mention that green broccoli stuff. Where’s the meat? I repeat: Where’s the meat? I know she brought a package of roast beef home. Why is she doing this to me? I am handsome. I am sweet. I am Boogaboo. I want lobster again. Daddy gave the shell to the raccoons. No fair, I could have gotten a few more molecules of lobster out of it.
Message from Mommy: I really hurt my teeth eating the wonderful lobster George brought home on Wednesday, so I have to eat soft food. The cats are not liking this transition. I have had to hide all the lunch meat. Oh well, teeth get better and maybe I can graduate to chicken by the weekend. I know the cat lobby wants an herbed organic chicken from BJ’s.
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….

Everything I working out quickly, easily and successfully.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.

Wow, the DMV sure is different since the computer age. George went over to get his senior eye and ear test. You have no idea how I fear the hearing test. Can I pass it even with hearing aides? I doubt it. Anyway, I managed to snag an appointment someone cancelled at the last moment and we were first in line. He was in and out within 15 minutes. I remember when the process was an all day affair of lines and frustration.
I got my -I have no idea what they are called- but they are what Muslim women in Indonesia wear to cover their heads. One set looks like what Flappers wore and the other one is sort of a baseball cap but the brim points down rather than out. They all cover my bandages nicely and they are beautiful. I shall try eventually to get pictures. Now, I must have more. Maybe I can work something out so I can resell them over here.

I have had to hide all the lunch meat. Oh well, teeth get better and maybe I can graduate to chicken by the weekend. I know the cat lobby wants an herbed organic chicken from BJ’s.
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is rose and the incense is yarrow.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is the Knight of Cups: conviction. No two people see the same thing, the same way. You don’t have to agree to just let them talk. Encourage them. You’ll learn a lot that way.

Astrologically, the next couple of days are good for self promotion as long as your presentation is good looking. This afternoon money loosens up and grab it while you can. By evening the restrictions are back but this time around, you have learned a valuable lesson from your experiences and no longer fear them.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say it is hard to find peace of mind today, so settle for relaxation.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is Catnap. “Take it easy. Curl up and relax.”

Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for a Collective of Pixies. The Pixies are on the move and you had best get the music out and start dancing.
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 7 and the Element is wood. The Boar finds conflict today but the dog has ease. Today is not an auspicious day for haircuts, writing, gambling, construction or births.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “Any difficulty I might have with people in my life tells me that I have not succeeded in communicating through ordinary means. I ask the Supreme Being to send Light in this situation. I stop talking about this problem. I know that Divine Love is now in action. Everything I working out quickly, easily and successfully.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
Wow, the DMV sure is different since the computer age. George went over to get his senior eye and ear test. You have no idea how I fear the hearing test. Can I pass it even with hearing aides? I doubt it. Anyway, I managed to snag an appointment someone cancelled at the last moment and we were first in line. He was in and out within 15 minutes. I remember when the process was an all day affair of lines and frustration.
I got my -I have no idea what they are called- but they are what Muslim women in Indonesia wear to cover their heads. One set looks like what Flappers wore and the other one is sort of a baseball cap but the brim points down rather than out. They all cover my bandages nicely and they are beautiful. I shall try eventually to get pictures. Now, I must have more. Maybe I can work something out so I can resell them over here.

Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
I had a good doctor’s visit today, so it looks like I will be around another couple of months or until the check clears. Napoleon has punished me soundly for leaving him alone. He is on my lap grabbing my hands to keep me from typing. I will not be forgiven for this indiscretion until I come up with some treat for him. Leaving him to go to the shop is not going to be easy. And the really good news is that even being immobile all this time, I lost 2 pounds.
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….
Message from the Mirowits: I am Boogaboo and I now know box fans. They are wonderful. They tickle your belly. Fear me! That fan is all mine.
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is white and the incense is jasmine.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is the Queen of Swords: subversion. This card presents another chance at rationality rather than reaction-ality.
Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2007 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically, social events for the next few days are not about self and grandstanding, but about honoring the efforts of others. Too many I’s in the conversation will negatively impact your standing with authorities and elders. This morning, lay low and try not to draw attention to yourself. By evening you will reap what you have sown.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say trust your intuition.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is Seacat. “Expand your horizons and your limitations will disappear.”
Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for the Guardian of the Gate. This singer returns again to remind us we are standing at the doorway to greatness but that door opening doesn’t guarantee passage. You have to be worthy. Will you move forward or fall back into old predictable patterns that you deem safe.
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 8 and the Element is wood. The dog finds conflict today. Today is NOT an auspicious day for haircuts, writing, gambling or births.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “NOW is a time for decisive action.
I let go of my past and I rebuild my life on totally new foundations. The light of my Soul guides me toward new paths and new discoveries for my highest good.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
Today we mourn the loss of Sen. Ted Kennedy who has worked tirelessly to give the American people the right to health care and it is because of his efforts, that children today have access to health care and a much better education. Now do not get me wrong, I have never been a fan of the Kennedy’s. Unfortunately, I knew too many of these people from a very different perspective when I was young. But aside from what he may or may not have done, he has most certainly dedicated the rest of his life to improving the lot of the average citizen in this country. For that he will be missed. I cannot say that for his detractors, but then again, I knew them well, too….maybe too well.
I have to tell you about a new product because I think it is the best thing since sliced bread. Bare Minerals has come out with a spf30 powder sunscreen in a self contained brush. Now, you can’t apply it as heavy as the regular powder if you have rosecea or any of the other skin ailments, but you can apply it over the regular powders. Since it is self contained, one twist and the brush goes in and out and the powder dispenses through the brush, you can carry it in your purse easily. Application is a dream. I used mine for the first time and easily refreshed it a couple of times.
We stopped into the IHOP on Federal Hwy in south Pompano for some food after the doctor. The mushroom spinach omelet was so perfect and delicious, I brought all the pancakes home. I didn’t even look at them it was so yummy. They’ve got a great cook in there!

Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
I think we should call Tuesday resignation day, not because that is the day people quit working. Having survived Monday, come Tuesday, people are just resigned to the fact that another week of work is now upon them and they might as well trudge through it!
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….I have found my cards…can being back on-line be far behind?
Message from the Microwits: I am Boogaboo, yawn. Fear…yawn…meurrph. Yawn. I need more of that funny colored milk in Mommy’s cup but she won’t let me - yawn - near it. Yawn! I think I nap…
Message from Mommy: Boogaboo has worn himself out and is snoozing after he OD’d on coffee yesterday. Fiona came into the bedroom early this morning and learned about tunneling under covers, laying on microbead pillows and getting rubbed all over. She really enjoyed being an only cat until the orneries kicked in.
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is topaz and the incense is marjoram.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is the Four of Wands: delight. Ah the initial flush of romance is the sweetest but it also carries a feeling of impending change. A relationship not based on mutual interests and goals does not last.
Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2007 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically, Venus enters Leo at 12:12 PM EDT. The Moon enters Sagittarius at 11:16 PM EDT. Do not expect to get the okay or money for improvement project for the next couple of days. At least the news will arrive nicely framed. Intense arguments with elders and authority figures continue for the rest of week and minor revolutions are possible.
The morning may start with bad dreams about money and property, but they are just your anxieties, not prophesies. You come up with a way out of your current bind this morning. By midmorning, old hurts are back and this time they can cripple you if you don’t do something about them. The afternoon starts with things not being clear on all fronts, but it has an interesting side effect. People say what they really mean and you now know where you really stand.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say really kicking up your heels is impossible today but minor moments of bliss should be taken at every opportunity.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is the Cat that Got the Cream. “Spoil yourself. You deserve it.”
Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for Myk the Myomancer. Myk studies the movement of mice to foretell the future. When he appears, his message is simple: pay attention to the small things!
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 9 and the Element is water. The Rooster finds conflict today but the Dragon and Snake have ease. Today IS an auspicious day for Haircuts, writing, medical procedures and births.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “I am now ready to take all risks necessary to completely express my Soul’s qualities. I dare now.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.

Tomorrow is my appointment with the really evil doctor day: the endocrinologist. I hate getting my finger stuck and no one can explain why the blood has to come from my finger. I really wouldn’t mind any other location.
Ah the wonderful sound of things hitting the floor reminding you that you have cats.

Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
Am I the only person who finds the fact that a film’s stars that grossed over 30 million dollars are sill living in virtual poverty in India while “Uncle Danny” lives in obscene wealth all over the world and the US? Maybe we should rename him: Uncle Tom. Seems appropriate to me. I for one will not be buying the DVD or supporting this or any of his future enterprises in any shape, form or fashion. And you wonder why the rest of the third world hates Americans? Wake up and smell the coffee. Do you think they didn’t see the Oscars? Can you imagine leaving all of that glitz and returning to a one room shanty in the garbage dump of India? Geez, where are all the right to lifers when they are needed? Oh, I forgot, save the fetuses because a shack beside an open sewer is waiting for occupancy.
Message from Boogaboo: I am Boogaboo. Fear me! I am the biggest, meanest cat on the block. I can fly. I can leap tall chairs. I can climb walls….My toes are twitching.
Message from Mommy: I leave my coffee cup unattended for one minute while I get my eggs to the table and what do I find? I find Boogaboo with his head in my coffee cup slurping! Am I going to be sitting at the table in 15 years, grey haired, sipping my coffee with a bunch of cats with white hairs in their coats, slurping coffee out of demitasse cups? Is this my future? Meanwhile, someone grab that insane kitten before he kills himself jumping off things….
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….If I manage to get my Tarot Cards delivered from the shop, I will back on line tomorrow. I also have to find my ear set for the cell phone. This may be too much to ask for in one day…finding two things.

Today’s Tarot Card is the Seven of Swords: ambivalence. Watch out. You are being watched by a thief. This is day for honesty. If you get caught don’t try to wiggle free. Don’t be vindictive, be fair. Remember, your actions day can either win you future trust or not.
Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2007 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically, Mars enters Cancer at 1:15 PM EDT and Mercury enters Libra at 4:18 PM EDT. For the next couple of days, arguments at home tend to be centered around balance and decorating. If you keep the compliments coming you can maintain the peace. It’s either that or just say, “Is there something in your teeth?” and hand them a mirror. That’ll keep them busy for hours.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
I had a very welcome, quiet weekend. Some times you just need a weekend of only doing what you have to do to survive. Napoleon is once again in my lap. When I return to the shop in the future, he is going to be devastated. He has not left me since my operation. He has no plans to leave my lap for the rest of my life except for brief periods when Purrbie takes over.
Never buy a house from a really short builder. That is what I did 35 years ago. It never occurred to me that he would have lowered every counter top surface in the house to accommodate a wife that only reached my shoulder. Now, I have permanent back problems and last less than five minutes at the sink before pain kicks in. I have to get enough money to redo the kitchen and raise these countertops and the stove top before I am in a back brace. Of course, back then you didn’t have to disclose something like that.
I hate to admit it, but as you get older, home renovation tends to include making the world handicapped accessible. I am looking at ramps, double front doors and widening door ways in the long run. My garden is going to be all raised, really, really, really raised beds with nice wide walk ways between them. My ideal pool has shrunk to a hot tub with super jets and I am starting to look at adjustable beds…I hate getting older.
If you are going to a dermatologist, please have them check your scalp. No one has ever checked my scalp though I have spent my life in the tropics. When I tell people about the cancer on my forehead and no, I didn’t have an accident is the usual segue way, they start telling me about the same cancers removed from relatives or their scalp. Last night a gal I always see wearing a little cap let me in the secret that it and a wig are covering a huge bald spot where she had the same kind of cancer removed from her scalp. Your hair will not grow back when this happens. That’s why I now have patchy hair. Get yourself checked.

Message from the Microwits: It is steak night. Fiona has already shared a raw piece with Mommy. We are all waiting on our share. Steak is good.
Message from Mommy: Share is not defined as insanely flinging yourself onto my hand and stealing a piece of steak almost out of my mouth! No one said anything furry was getting any steak except for Napoleon.
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….

Astrologically, the moon enters Virgo at 3:16 PM EDT. Such pleasant dreams are hard to abandon for the reality of the day and work. So, we start Monday off annoyed that nothing seems to match, our shoes are hiding and generally we are snapping at everyone. By mid morning you may be feeling a bit more social, just a tiny a bit more. By mid afternoon, energy finally increases and we can get something done! Authorities finally approve the changes we have been seeking and it is our time to shine and reap our reward. Now, all we have to do is apologize to everyone we screamed at this morning.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
Napoleon has stayed with through out this whole ordeal, sleeping beside me or on my lap. Now I have a problem, namely: he is spoiled rotten. I left the house to go shopping and he held onto my dress halfway to the door. He practically pinned me to the bed when I returned. He doesn’t even want me to leave the room now. These cats spoil faster than 3 day old fish.
I am really looking forward to being able to do more because day time TV rots your brain. That is my conclusion, anyway. If I see one more decorating show, I am going to start selling dynamite. They spend more to decorate a bathroom than I paid for my whole house 35 years ago. So far I have never in my life broken a sink, bathtub or commode so why are they tearing them out? And the cooking shows…does anyone have all that stuff in their kitchen? Do you have the time to shop for it? If it fits in a frying pan, it’s my dish.
Today would have been my mother’s 91st birthday, if she had never started smoking. As it was, she didn’t make it to 63 in a family that usually, barring diabetes, lives into their 90’s.

Message from the Microwits: It is steak night. Fiona has already shared a raw piece with Mommy. We are all waiting on our share. Steak is good.
Message from Mommy: Share is not defined as insanely flinging yourself onto my hand and stealing a piece of steak almost out of my mouth! No one said anything furry was getting any steak except for Napoleon.
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is silver and the incense is narcissus.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.

Astrologically, the moon enters Virgo at 3:16 PM EDT. Such pleasant dreams are hard to abandon for the reality of the day and work. So, we start Monday off annoyed that nothing seems to match, our shoes are hiding and generally we are snapping at everyone. By mid morning you may be feeling a bit more social, just a tiny a bit more. By mid afternoon, energy finally increases and we can get something done! Authorities finally approve the changes we have been seeking and it is our time to shine and reap our reward. Now, all we have to do is apologize to everyone we screamed at this morning.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say look inside yourself today. All that you need is within.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is Aristocat. “Classy and understated, you’ll attract many admirers.”

Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for the Maiden. She arrives at a time of new beginnings, births, growth and joy. She bring hope for tomorrow. Our troubles seem to disappear when she arrives and joy enters our lives.
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 2 and the Element is Metal. The Sheep finds conflict today but the Monkey has ease. Today is NOT an auspicious day for haircuts, medical procedures, writing, gambling, construction or births.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “It is now time for me to enjoy healthy, creative and supportive relationships based on unconditional love, respect and freedom. This is a time of divine fulfillment.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
Napoleon has stayed with through out this whole ordeal, sleeping beside me or on my lap. Now I have a problem, namely: he is spoiled rotten. I left the house to go shopping and he held onto my dress halfway to the door. He practically pinned me to the bed when I returned. He doesn’t even want me to leave the room now. These cats spoil faster than 3 day old fish.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
It is a lazy Saturday with all the cat asleep and me, the only creature that is stirring. I’m a little out of it so don’t expect much.
I discovered the doctor had whacked a big piece of scab off last night when I went to change the dressing and the pain was just so much fun after the full washing and cleaning. Thus, I overslept this morning and am fuzzy. I had to take an extra half a pill to keep from tossing, turning and whining all night. I swear, I am going to frisk that man before I let him anywhere near me. I know he hides instruments in his coat pocket because he always approaches with empty hands and then…SNIP and YANK.
I started the morning with Purdy von Sweets jumping right in the middle of me, which elicited a yelp. So, I spent several minutes repeating, walk not leap, to them and it seems to have worked, for a while anyway.

Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
I had a great doctor’s visit. I am now on two week visits! My wound care is working. I am healing. I have gone from the big pad to the medium pad on my surgery. That’s graduation day! Even the cats are celebrating by not destroying the house. It is a good day!
Message from the Microwits: I am Boogaboo and Mommy gave Napoleon BACON. I smelled it on his breath. I got none. I am Boogaboo and you had better fear me. I love bacon and I got none.
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is indigo and the incense is patchouli.
Today is the beginning of Ramadan.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is the Universe: consecration. The doorway to change is open. A voyage is immanent. Get ready for movement in your life!
Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2007 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically, the Sun enters Virgo at 7:39 PM EDT. The Moon enters Libra at 11:12 PM EDT.
For about a week, it is hard to know what is expected of you at social events, but if you keep quiet and watch, people will show their true colors for better or worse.
This morning arguments and upsets abound. You would be better off if you just walked away and let every one do it their way. That way you can’t be blamed. Authorities vehemently oppose change and will try paint anyone proposing change as flakes.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say , “MOVE!” Yes, get out there and move today. You need to get the chi, the energy, whatever you call it, moving. You are stagnating.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is Top Cat. “You’re on a winning streak.”
Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for Tobaira of the Waters. She is the Lady of the Lake, the guardian of all healing waters. You can even ask her to bless a glass of water and she will oblige. Ask her to bless your ponds and lakes and then, keep them clean.
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 1 and the Element is earth. The Snake finds conflict today but the Rabbit has ease. Today is not an auspicious day for writing, gambling, construction or births.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “My difficulties, disappointments or apparent defeat are only signs indicating that my success is near. I use them to move forward and develop all my qualities. My final success will be even greater than I imagined.” Annie Marquier creating a world peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
Napoleon and I having the screen wars. He wants to tear the bedroom screen out of the window to get the gecko. The gecko is well protected behind glass. I keep a supply of empty water bottles to throw at him. I got him this morning and bottle bounced off him, right back into my hands. I was about 14 feet away. My aim is improving or my telekinesis.
Since I am improving, I may be back to doing readings soon.
I opened a can of worms yesterday and have been hearing from vendors all over the country about how they have been, well let’s say, done wrong at Pagan Pride Day events. (I didn’t get complaints about health fairs or other kinds of events for a darned good reason…they don’t brook any shenanigans. They toss you out.) Just because we are Pagan is no excuse to put on an event in an unprofessional manner or to behave that way. I do professional events and I’ve also put events on professionally. One really big item was in the contract for a booth. It was a space for you to list what you were selling. If you were offering a service, you had to list the price or agree to their pricing. And, if you turned up at the event and did not do what you agreed to, you were told to either comply or remove your booth without a refund. That was in the contract. I have seen people packed up and removed from events. You were also often asked for references, copies of licenses and ID which were checked before you were confirmed for the event. One thing I quickly learned in putting on events was the more someone was pushing for a booth, the slower and meticulously I checked their credentials. People know the faster you go, the more mistakes you make and pushing you is an old con game trick. You gotta buy now to get this unbelievable price! It’s unbelievable all right!

Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
Important Message:
If you are planning on organizing or attending a psychic themed event this holiday season LISTEN UP.
In absolutely every facet of commerce, the scam artists are out in force trying to take what is left of our money. This area is no exception. Before you let people into events to work, spend 5 minutes checking them out. Check references. Get on MySpace, Facebook, and Google and find out who these people really are. Demand real names. Find out what they are charging and lastly, ask your exhibitors that have been with you for years if they know these people. Unfortunately, anyone new is suspect right now. A website is not a credential and any website without a person’s name or with a really familiar name on it is probably what is called a piggybacker. That means they have taken an URL out that is close enough to a famous person’s website to show up in a search of that person on Google. Tricks include using an famous person’s unusual first or last name as the URL then putting another name with it on the website. Playing tricks like adding or removing hyphens or underscores from the real URL so instead of I-Psychic, the URL is Ipsychic. Then the new website will have no legal names in it to mislead you into thinking it is the real famous person’s website. Just remember, if it is too good to be true, it’s a scam. If someone is running a scam in another area, don’t hire them as a psychic. Use some common sense and caution. Five minutes will save the reputation of your event and you might just still have your dependable exhibitors in attendance when you hold the next event, because I guarantee you, most of us are not interested in wasting our gas money an time to make an appearance rather than money at events. If you are going to let people in to undercut everyone’s prices who has supported your events in the past to “bring the people in”, you had better really like them because next event they are going to be your only exhibitors.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
Napoleon, the spurt. That is the only way I can describe Napoleon’s new trick. There are cats that camel. First the nose lays on your leg, then the head, then the neck and next thing you know, you have the whole cat in your lap. Napoleon has a better way. He lays his head on my leg, tucks his shoulder in like a rocket and a minute later, he kicks off with his hind legs and spurts fully into my lap. He is really smart. He knows I was really angry when I awoke to him ripping my screen up on the bedroom window trying to get the gecko on the other side of the glass. So he is patiently laying in lap as I type like a really, really good boy, but we all know the truth.
I finally set up the new TV only to discover I get one channel. I hate digital. It is a plot to make you buy cable or satellite. Anyway, the high definition makes it perfect for cats. Purrbie spent a good 15 minutes reaching over and under it trying to get the little people out of the box. Napoleon sat on a pillow and watched “Escape from Witch Mountain” with me. That’s a really good movie and would have been better if I could have gotten the closed captioning to work and known what everyone but Dwayne Johnson was saying. The man has great diction It is so easy to read his lips. It works on the TV programs. And then, something terrible happened. I pressed eject. As the DVD rose from the top of TV, Napoleon’s ear located, fixed on the sound, the eyes focused and the rump twitched. I managed to grabbed the DVD just as he discovered this TV doesn’t have that huge back end to land on and crashed into my box of nightstand supplies sending pill bottles, emery boards, glasses, etc. flying. Prescious made the same discovery this morning. I am afraid to leave the TV alone. What happens if I wall mount it? Will I have a bunch of flat pancake cats that have smashed into the wall behind it? Yes, my little crew is not too bright.
People always spread nasty rumors about Tom Cats. Yes, my boys are all neutered. Last night, and Boogaboo will get me for this, Boogaboo fell down the back of the old TV. That emits a sound like claws on a washboard. Napoleon was on top the TV in a flash and pulled Boogaboo up by the scruff of the neck before he slid all the way behind the TV stand. Then, he balanced him on the top of the old TV (The thing is really old and huge) and washed all the dust off of him. Now isn’t that sweet?

Message from the Microwits: I am Boogoboo and today I am afraid. I think Mommy knows I knocked her new glasses off where she stepped on them. I am hiding. Maybe I will see you tomorrow. Mommy sure won’t see you clearly.
I am Fiona and I am dedicating the rest of my nine lives to making certain Mommy never has a lonely experience in the bathroom. I know she doesn’t really mean it when screams: just let me alone. It is just a cry for more affection and I, Fifi, am ready and willing to answer that call.
Message from Mommy: Excuse me while I pull what hair I have left out…..
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
I’ve increased my reading glasses strength by 25% and am seeing way better. It had gotten to where I just couldn’t read Doonesbury with that black printing on a blue background. Now I can! Wheee……
I knew it when I bought them. My new glasses had black frames. It was the only color they came in and of course, the cats managed to knock them onto floor where I managed to step on them and I can not get the frames straightened out. I am starting to wish I had not given George the rest of the 4 pack. Maybe I can steal them back. I am doomed to spending the rest of the day trying to get them to fit right on my nose.
Although the rain has not reached us, the electricity is in the air which causes the cats to go crazy. So, excuse me for not writing more but I am picking up the entire house as the knock everything flying through the air. You’d think I had house full of large birds.
I started Dean Koontz’s Phantoms. It hooks you in fast, but don’t start it at meal time unless detailed descriptions of bloated corpses don’t bother you.
You will not win with cats. They know every button to push. I was so mad at them over the glasses and scolded Napoleon and the rest of them. As soon as I started typing, Napoleon crawled on my lap and buried his little nose in the crook of my arm. He knows I can’t resist that pose. I had to forgive him and as soon as he got his kiss, he was off after the gecko on the outside of the window.

Message from the Microwits: I am Boogoboo and today I am afraid. I think Mommy knows I knocked her new glasses off where she stepped on them. I am hiding. Maybe I will see you tomorrow. Mommy sure won’t see you clearly.
I am Fiona and I am dedicating the rest of my nine lives to making certain Mommy never has a lonely experience in the bathroom. I know she doesn’t really mean it when screams: just let me alone. It is just a cry for more affection and I, Fifi, am ready and willing to answer that call.
Message from Mommy: Excuse me while I pull what hair I have left out…..
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is crimson and the incense is mulberry.

Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
Message from the Microwits: I am Boogaboo and I will have breakfast with Mommy! She threw me out, again! I waited. I am cat. I am patient. She came out and put her tray down and went to get a second helping. As soon as it hit the tray, I was on it. DO YOU KNOW WHAT HUMANS EAT! It was horrible. She had a plate of tomatoes. I actually got some on my paw! And those horrible black specks made me sneeze! I didn’t mind being yanked off the tray. Tomorrow I go after the tapping thing. It must taste better because Mommy is keeping that kill all to her self. Why is Napoleon rolling his eyes?
Message from Mommy: I’ve got to do something about Boogoboo. He won’t eat eggs, green peppers or tomatoes but the little snot keeps jumping in plate. I am certain he was responsible for the sneak attack on my ass last night. I heard a thump and went out to check. It happened so fast all I had was scratches on my ass to prove it happened and not a single Microwit was visible anywhere. The other cats were asleep. I know it was them, but which one?
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will not be doing readings in until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is white and the incense is lilac
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is the Nine of Swords: desperation. Too much mental conflict brings on madness. Letting yourself get overwhelmed allows you to give up and play the martyr. Isolation gives you the ammunition to keep playing that game. Get out merge with society and do some good in the world.
Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2007 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically, for about a week social events are in full swing but they are for those who follow the rules, know their place and accept their lot in life. That doesn’t sound like much fun and it isn’t. With money on the short side, it is more a have fun or else scenario. Oh, and whatever you do, don’t make a mess.
For a couple of days you are aggravated no one has found a cure for those old hurts and injuries you have suffered. The healing is delayed.
The rest of the month finds the bean counters putting kibosh on any changes in the works.
This evening, a knee jerk reaction to money matters can put you right back where you started a few months ago. Think outside the box.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say a new opportunity is on the horizon. Be ready!

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
I am craving tomatoes. A long time ago I learned to honor my food cravings unless they were chocolate involved. When I was just a kid at my grandma’s I started craving fresh carrots. Now, you have to remember, I am psychic in a family of psychics. Well, Mother was aghast and ready take the bunch away from me but I remember Ma saying, “if you crave something, your body has a need for it.” I must have eaten at a dozen of them which is a lot for a small child. It was all I ate that day. Next day, my father picked us up to go on the road with him. It was summer and as usual, the car broke down. You know the old saying about the plumber’s wife never having running water? Well it seems to be true of all professions. My father was a mechanic from autos to aircraft and we were always breaking down. We had to walk to the nearest filling station as they were called back then and they all actually did repair work and stocked parts. We needed a water pump for it. My mother, who was heavily freckled, and had the ruddy red head complexion rather than the porcelain one I have, burned to a crisp. Because of all the Beta Carotene I had ingested the day before, I barely turned red, but I am certain it contributed to the cancer I am now fighting on my skin. After all, back then, the sun was good for you.
Like patchy fog, I have resigned myself to patchy hair since the operation. I am sure, looking at my scalp, it’s not coming back. So, I bought myself a wig. Yup, they had a Rachel Welsh wig on sale, we have the same face shape, and I bought it. So, for my debut at Pagan Pride Day in Ft. Lauderdale, I shall have my new wig on. As to whether I will be up to doing readings…we shall see.
I can’t believe it is 11 AM and 90 degrees. With that statement begins my confinement in the bedroom where the air is cool. I must be healing. I noticed last night the bandage is getting smaller.
Cats are very intuitive creatures, in case you didn’t know. I threw my hip out yesterday which is not only painful but makes it necessary to hop around on one leg since the other one is not taking any weight. Last night it was just horrible. Then, before dawn, Purdy von Sweets crawled into bed with, laid down next to me and placed all four feet on the hip and began pushing with a gentle applied pressure. Two hours later I could at least stand up and walk with far less pain and I think it is actually going to be all right. Of course being a cat, she has been claiming her reward in massive strokes and chin scratches all morning.
I know this is going to sound strange, but I swear the wild bees outside take a lunch break. Starting at 11 and going until around 12:30, there are only a few bees going in and out of the nest. Then it picks up again. Leave to me to not only get domestic bees but union bees. Is there a little whistle that goes off I don’t hear?

Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
Message from the Kitwits: I am Boogaboo. Fear me! Yesterday we tried to have breakfast with Mommy in the kitchen. Who knew she was that fast and that good at swatting cats? We even multiplexed ourselves and all we got was her sneaking around all day counting us. I, Boogoboo, do not give up. Today I would have Mommy food for breakfast, so I hid in the bedroom where she now retreats to eat. As soon as she put her plate down, I came out. I tried several swooping attacks but she moved the plate. Then I heard the most wonderful, seductive tapping sound on the table. It had to be food. I sneaked up on it and before I could pounce, Mommy had me by the scruff of my neck and was tossing me onto the cat log where my brother and sister Fiona got me and beat me up for leaving them out. I should have listened to Napoleon. He says no cat has ever caught that tapping sound. But I am Boogaboo. I will have that sound.
Massage from Mommy: Flame decided to try out being a lap cat while I tried out watching the new TV in the kitchen. She said it was a temporary thing while she thought about becoming a lap cat. As to the TV…there is no more on than before the other one blew up. At least it has a DVD player in it.
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is Black and the incense is Cedar.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
I think Napoleon is currently studying to be an organic speed bump from the way he sprawls across the hallway. I expect him to graduate with honors.
I have two round microbead pillows. The only difference is one is lavender and the other is midnight blue. SO…..why will Purrbie only sleep on the lavender one? They say cats can’t see color but I am convinced they are wrong.
I have learned very much the hard way, that being out shopping is the quickest way to have more pain. Walking around jiggles things that should no be jiggled. However, for the first time in my history, I actually scored something that was on sale at Target. Usually things are sold out by the time I get there but I got a digital TV with DVD player for under 200.00. Considering the old TV bit the dust and I didn’t know a hurricane was approaching, George decided I really did need a TV before I became totally out of touch with the Universe.
I promised the recipe for my infamous Mexicala Eggs for my Facebook fans here it is. Remember, one of the problems with cooking in this country is we overdo everything and put too much of everything in food and then we want it in 15 seconds or less. This recipe takes time but I guarantee it is worth every mouth watering minute. Begin by dicing up a half a medium cold tomato. Blot juices and set aside. Start with a large frying pan and a huge dollop of margarine or butter and I mean a HUGE one. Have the frying pan on med high. The margarine keeps the eggs from sticking and it provides flavor. Next, FINELY cut about 1/8 of a green bell pepper. Take an onion and make five wafer thin slices across it and finely dice. Slide them into the frying pan and cook until the onion is clear. Don’t worry about the pepper, it cooks with the eggs. Then break six eggs (this serves two) into the frying pan and begin to slowly stir after you have broken the yolks. Use a cooking fork to do this. I use a plastic two prong one. Reduce the heat immediately to medium. If the eggs are not cooking fast enough you can raise the heat but the slower the eggs cook, the less they bruise and the less sulfur taste you get. While cooking sprinkle a tiny amount of black pepper into the mix and here is the secret ingredient. Sprinkle a tiny amount of garlic salt into the mix…about an 1/8 of a teaspoon or less but..no more! Do not use fresh garlic or it overpowers the other tastes. Cook until nice and soft but not stiff and spoon onto plates. Sprinkle the diced tomato over the eggs and then put about five drops of Tabasco sauce on top. That’s all you need except a little fresh ground sea salt to taste. Remember, the slower you cook scrambled eggs, the better they will taste but you have to stand there and keep stirring…no running off and doing other things. Ideally it should take 20 minutes to scramble 3 eggs…YES…20 minutes. Try it and you will never go back to the old way!
People have been screaming they don’t want rationed health care, not that anyone was going to give them that. Well, the funny thing is, I already have it. Even though the cancer on the other side of my face can go into my eye, a quick assessment of how much money I have in the bank, left in the IRS account, the property taxes due and so forth, it became obvious I cannot even consider having the surgery until next year when the IRS account rolls providing George has a job and we still have insurance.
I don’t know if you are aware of this, but plaque, cavities and, definitely, abscessed teeth lower your resistance to all disease even the common cold. So if you have mouth full of bad teeth and the flu, you are more likely to die. How many people have dental insurance? I do, but I am totally resistant to Novocain and the insurance will not pay for total anesthesia, so I sit here needing 4 root canals, top and bottom both sides, and I have one broken with ¼ of it missing. Needless-to-say, I eat a lot of soft food. If it isn’t soft, I swallow it whole because I can’t chew much of anything. And that folks is what happens when you have really great dental insurance. You still suffer. I can’t even have my teeth cleaned until the root canals and the broken tooth is fixed so even with 100% coverage, no cleanings. I might as well drop the insurance for all it is worth to me.

Next, FINELY cut about 1/8 of a green bell pepper. Take an onion and make five wafer thin slices across it and finely dice. Slide them into the frying pan and cook until the onion is clear. Don’t worry about the pepper, it cooks with the eggs. Then break six eggs (this serves two) into the frying pan and begin to slowly stir after you have broken the yolks. Use a cooking fork to do this. I use a plastic two prong one. Reduce the heat immediately to medium. If the eggs are not cooking fast enough you can raise the heat but the slower the eggs cook, the less they bruise and the less sulfur taste you get. While cooking sprinkle a tiny amount of black pepper into the mix and here is the secret ingredient. Sprinkle a tiny amount of garlic salt into the mix…about an 1/8 of a teaspoon or less but..no more! Do not use fresh garlic or it overpowers the other tastes. Cook until nice and soft but not stiff and spoon onto plates. Sprinkle the diced tomato over the eggs and then put about five drops of Tabasco sauce on top. That’s all you need except a little fresh ground sea salt to taste. Remember, the slower you cook scrambled eggs, the better they will taste but you have to stand there and keep stirring…no running off and doing other things. Ideally it should take 20 minutes to scramble 3 eggs…YES…20 minutes. Try it and you will never go back to the old way!
People have been screaming they don’t want rationed health care, not that anyone was going to give them that. Well, the funny thing is, I already have it. Even though the cancer on the other side of my face can go into my eye, a quick assessment of how much money I have in the bank, left in the IRS account, the property taxes due and so forth, it became obvious I cannot even consider having the surgery until next year when the IRS account rolls providing George has a job and we still have insurance.
I don’t know if you are aware of this, but plaque, cavities and, definitely, abscessed teeth lower your resistance to all disease even the common cold. So if you have mouth full of bad teeth and the flu, you are more likely to die. How many people have dental insurance? I do, but I am totally resistant to Novocain and the insurance will not pay for total anesthesia, so I sit here needing 4 root canals, top and bottom both sides, and I have one broken with ¼ of it missing. Needless-to-say, I eat a lot of soft food. If it isn’t soft, I swallow it whole because I can’t chew much of anything. And that folks is what happens when you have really great dental insurance. You still suffer. I can’t even have my teeth cleaned until the root canals and the broken tooth is fixed so even with 100% coverage, no cleanings. I might as well drop the insurance for all it is worth to me.

Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal….
Message from the Microwits: We had a wonderful Saturday. We ran and played and had chicken! We tackled Mommy so much she is afraid to walk around the house. We laid in her lap and purred and bit her. Napoleon won’t let us in the bedroom. He is mean. We didn’t mean to gang up on him. It just happened.
Message from Mommy: I am busy counting Microwits. I know you think there are four of them, but this morning when I tried to fix breakfast, they swarmed me. They were climbing my legs, dangling from my dress, coming over my shoulder and on the counter. There has to be more than four of them!
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is white and the incense is neroli.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is the Ace of Pentacles: generation. You may have succeeded beyond your wildest of dreams, but are you happy? Money and fame don’t buy friends; they buy leeches. Cute doesn’t cut it when the cards are on the table. Perhaps it is time to look at your spiritual inventory rather than your bank account.

Astrologically, yee gads!
Okay, your astrologer will calm down and go through it one step at a time. For the next week, thoughts are moving really fast. Ideas are moving too fast to stop and think them out. Misinformation is being spread faster than you can click a mouse. Nothing is clear. You are going to have to trust your intuition and keep asking the simple question of what is in it for them before joining up with someone else on a quest. This is a time when you can easily be misled into doing something that isn’t in your best interests. When in doubt, this is a good time to consult your psychic or spiritual advisor.
For a couple of days humanitarian efforts are hampered by the bean counters who just keep throwing red tape at everything. Make no mistake, opposition to change is in charge and living large.
This is a good evening for social events and finding out what is available for higher education. The rules will be made very clear to you and you will quickly discover that the qualification is going to be whether you can pay the fees in hard cash. People will have no trouble communicating you do not belong and this is going to bring up a lot of old issues and maybe a revolution. Now if you are the one with your nose in the air, you might just drown in the next rain storm.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say get out today and feel the joy of nature because in the end, nature always wins. She reclaims what is hers. Just look at the Mayan Temples.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is Temple Cat. “Tap into your intuition; wisdom will follow.”
Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for Epona’s Wild Daughter: Dorcha. She is the real fifth element: moonlight and it isn’t pleasant. Depression, inner shadows and nightmares are her teaching tools. The result is either a lesson learned or madness. You weakness becomes your greatest strength if you survive to see the dawn.
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 6 and the Element is wood. The Rat finds conflict today but the Rooster has ease. Today is NOT an auspicious day for haircuts, medical procedures, writing, gambling, construction or births.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “I now joyfully share the love and wisdom of my Higher Self with those around me and all of humanity. I am one with the Universe.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.

I need a huge blinking sign in the bathroom that says: turning off the water facet doesn’t turn the waterpic off…signed..the drowned rat.
Rain, hurricanes headed this way and wind storms are not my idea of a fun weekend. Wind shear cut the top off those nasty storms!
I just can’t seem to explain to Napoleon that sitting on the windowsill crooning to the lizards is not going to get them to come in the house. There is something about: “come here little lizard so I can eat you,” that just doesn’t work.
Well, folks, the health care insurance is dead for the poor, unemployed and underemployed an those just trying to keep a roof over their heads. All I can say to all the people who killed it is: I’ve got private insurance. You can suffer. J Your Republican Congressperson gets free treatment at the best hospital in the country: Walter Reed. I don’t want to hear one whine from anyone on how bad their insurance or lack there of is. You did this. Live with it. It is painfully obvious that the vast majority of people in this country do not give a darn about anyone else but themselves. Karma is a bitch folks and then she has puppies. I guess it never really occurred to any of these frantic Republicans what is going to happen when an epidemic hits and the majority of the population is uninsured and can’t afford medical care or vaccinations. It’s not going to matter how good your insurance or your doctor is, it will spread like wild fire and you will die. I wonder if that was the plan all along to get rid of the poor, the handicapped and the weak? Of course, they will just go first. Then the bug gets stronger, more resistant because all those people are under medicating since they can’t afford the medicine (One pill a day is as good as two pills and I feel okay now, off I go to work or I can‘t eat, here take the rest of mine, brother.) and it moves up the food chain. How do you like that for simplicity? Kind of makes a living will unnecessary so you can stop worrying whether someone is going to euthanize you. Mother Nature will do for free. This how bad it really is: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/the-brutal-truth-about-americarsquos-healthcare-1772580.html in America.
By the way, the mandate of your public heath department is to stop the spread of disease, not treat it. That includes quarantine as the first resort and as more than one person has discovered, they have the legal right to lock you up in a location of their choice, be it a tent in the Arizona desert.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
I started the morning early with Napoleon giving me the get up and let me out kitty biscuit routine. He was very successful as I was up by 8:30 and he had his snack. Purdy von Sweets had her coffee. I had mine and made all sorts of plans. Then the rain hit. Well, I stopped to find out what was happening. Since the TV died I am totally out of the loop news wise, and discover a potential hurricane is headed right at me in five days….oooops…maybe I need to get a TV. That sure ruined my day and here it is, almost 11, and all I’ve gotten done is snacking on the egg salad from yesterday. That’s how you shoot a morning.
Fiona has enjoyed sleeping on my satin (faux) nightgown all night and with the rain, it probably isn’t going in the washing machine any time soon. Napoleon is beside me and all cats have returned to their 18 hour nap. If I had any brains, I would probably follow them but I’ve already proven I have no brains.
All the pain and suffering of yesterday became crystal clear when I went to change the dressing on the wound last night. That little sneak of a surgeon had been probing all around the wound yesterday and he has such a light touch I didn’t feel a thing until he hit the lower edge. He was even cleaning the inside out. He must have been hiding the tweezers in his pocket! No wonder he wrote me a script so fast. He knew what he had done! I am working through the pain today as I am determined I will only use pills to get me through cleaning and repacking the wound at night. I really needed them last night and once more let me say, All hail the mighty shower chair for it is worshipped in my world! It is also worshipped in the cat world. Purrbie and XP are napping on it right now having unseated Conner. It’s a good thing it is indestructible and has a 300 pound rating. With Conner it needs that.
BJ’s came out with the perfect vitamin supplement: 1500 mg Glucosamine, 1000 mg MSM and 1000 I.U. Vitamin D in one pill. YES…just what I needed. I paid 9.99 for a jar of 180...that 90 days worth. Meanwhile I am taking my B complex.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
I am declaring Purrbie’s tail a deadly weapon. Twice he has cleared my stand with it. I have never seen a cat with a tail that just sweeps everything in sight. At least he has finally gone to sleep with the tail curled under him. Now I will pick everything up. I have really talented cats. Napoleon is on the other side of the room and shook his head hitting me with some ear goop. Now I have to find the ear medicine. Crap…another outbreak of the dreaded ear mites! Napoleon got into a fight, yes a fight, with one of my big triangular support cushions and it flipped him over on his back and landed on top of him. Napoleon has left the room! I am giggling.
My doctor’s appointment almost went well. I was in a lot of pain because it is so darned hot. Just walking to the door to the building caused me to sweat and salt water in an open wound is not pleasant. Not only that the bottom edge of the wound has really be aching the past few days. Then, as always happens when I am in pain, I got sick at my stomach. I had to run out twice to the bathroom. That is so embarrassing. Today I had enough sense not to put makeup on because he thought I was doing so well last time. Sure! I can make myself look like anything. I am an expert with makeup as I was a model once. The dark shadows under my eyes, the black eyes, the paleness all disappear along with the rosecea, but it all illusion. Today he got to see the real deal and promptly wrote me a prescription for pain. Without make up I look like Hades on a bad day. I am healing, very slowly. The feeling came in my scalp and then it went. He says that is normal and that swelling will cause the nerves to stop functioning. I am really learning a lot I didn’t know about skin and nerves. I am also learning I will probably be wearing wigs the rest of my life because I am losing my hair fast after this surgery. I am not holding out much hope it is coming back. I am letting the back grow out so I have something to attach the hair pieces to. It is riving nuts being too short to pin up and just long enough to tickle. Being a red head, I didn’t have much to start with. Oh, a friend pointed out that scientifically, red heads have more sensitivity to pain because they have more nerve endings. I think I know where every one of them is, too!
Conner, my huge black cat, has taken over the shower bench. It is the first time he has found a chair big enough to support is girth. From his shower throne, he now directs all the other cats, when he wakes up. With Lady Jayne and Prescious in there with him, the shower is full. They are all huge cats. That gives the Microwits control of the kitchen and no part of your body is safe in there now. Napoleon sleeps by my side the moment the pain gets bad and his sister Josephina takes his place when he goes out to eat.
As for me, I have to make some lunch because if I don’t eat, I will get sick but I have as much desire for food as I do standing on my head. However, my special egg salad did the trick. I put boiled eggs, hot dog relish mustard, onion, mayo and a couple of olives in it. Yummy!
I finished Strange Brew, a book of short stories by various authors in the magic fiction field. I find it amazing that they come up with better explanations for how magic works than many metaphysical authors. For example from “Last Call”, Jim Butcher writes: “Which really made sense from a technical perspective. Magic is about a lot of things, and one of them is emotion. Once you begin to mass manufacture anything, by the very nature of the process, you lose the sense of personal attachment you might have to something made by hand. For the Maenad’s purposes, it would have meant that mass-produced beer had nothing she could sink her magical teeth into, no foundation to lay her complex compulsion upon” He definitely explains it a lot better than I normally do to customers.

Without expectations or worries, I invoke the divine solution, which comes to me naturally and clearly in the peace of my Soul.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
I am declaring Purrbie’s tail a deadly weapon. Twice he has cleared my stand with it. I have never seen a cat with a tail that just sweeps everything in sight. At least he has finally gone to sleep with the tail curled under him. Now I will pick everything up. I have really talented cats. Napoleon is on the other side of the room and shook his head hitting me with some ear goop. Now I have to find the ear medicine. Crap…another outbreak of the dreaded ear mites! Napoleon got into a fight, yes a fight, with one of my big triangular support cushions and it flipped him over on his back and landed on top of him. Napoleon has left the room! I am giggling.
My doctor’s appointment almost went well. I was in a lot of pain because it is so darned hot. Just walking to the door to the building caused me to sweat and salt water in an open wound is not pleasant. Not only that the bottom edge of the wound has really be aching the past few days. Then, as always happens when I am in pain, I got sick at my stomach. I had to run out twice to the bathroom. That is so embarrassing. Today I had enough sense not to put makeup on because he thought I was doing so well last time. Sure! I can make myself look like anything. I am an expert with makeup as I was a model once. The dark shadows under my eyes, the black eyes, the paleness all disappear along with the rosecea, but it all illusion. Today he got to see the real deal and promptly wrote me a prescription for pain. Without make up I look like Hades on a bad day. I am healing, very slowly. The feeling came in my scalp and then it went. He says that is normal and that swelling will cause the nerves to stop functioning. I am really learning a lot I didn’t know about skin and nerves. I am also learning I will probably be wearing wigs the rest of my life because I am losing my hair fast after this surgery. I am not holding out much hope it is coming back. I am letting the back grow out so I have something to attach the hair pieces to. It is riving nuts being too short to pin up and just long enough to tickle. Being a red head, I didn’t have much to start with. Oh, a friend pointed out that scientifically, red heads have more sensitivity to pain because they have more nerve endings. I think I know where every one of them is, too!
Conner, my huge black cat, has taken over the shower bench. It is the first time he has found a chair big enough to support is girth. From his shower throne, he now directs all the other cats, when he wakes up. With Lady Jayne and Prescious in there with him, the shower is full. They are all huge cats. That gives the Microwits control of the kitchen and no part of your body is safe in there now. Napoleon sleeps by my side the moment the pain gets bad and his sister Josephina takes his place when he goes out to eat.
As for me, I have to make some lunch because if I don’t eat, I will get sick but I have as much desire for food as I do standing on my head. However, my special egg salad did the trick. I put boiled eggs, hot dog relish mustard, onion, mayo and a couple of olives in it. Yummy!
I finished Strange Brew, a book of short stories by various authors in the magic fiction field. I find it amazing that they come up with better explanations for how magic works than many metaphysical authors. For example from “Last Call”, Jim Butcher writes: “Which really made sense from a technical perspective. Magic is about a lot of things, and one of them is emotion. Once you begin to mass manufacture anything, by the very nature of the process, you lose the sense of personal attachment you might have to something made by hand. For the Maenad’s purposes, it would have meant that mass-produced beer had nothing she could sink her magical teeth into, no foundation to lay her complex compulsion upon” He definitely explains it a lot better than I normally do to customers.

Forecast and Faery Finder for 08/14/09

Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer, heal…
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is Pink and the incense is Alder.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is the Magian: encapsulation. When you can balance the activity in the two hemispheres of you brain, your power emanates from the bridge between and allows you to turn thought and intent into action and material means. It is every bit as hard as it seems but I always visualize a balance scale and watch both sides of it simultaneously. Eventually my focus shifts the two sides to the center, merges them and then the energy is released. Just be careful what you release. Energy has a habit of bouncing back on you.
Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2007 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically, the Moon enters Gemini at 6:25 AM EDT and we now try to do too much at the same time. For the next week, you biggest enemy in making money is your ego. Swallow your pride and do what you have to, to make ends meet. It is an aggravating morning where change is opposed at every turn. Come afternoon, you will begin to reap what your have sown in the past year.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say as annoying as the day is, it is hard to be kind but that is the test of your self.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is Cat’s Eye. “Open that inner eye. You’ll see what’s really happening.’
Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for the Faery Who Was Kissed by the Pixies. Love, wonderful love is in the air today. Give it. Receive it, but beware, some get metaphysical open heart surgery and like all surgery, that takes a bit of time to heal. So your motives had best be pure when she is there and not be asking: what’s in it for me?
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 9 and the Element is Metal. The Rooster finds conflict today but the Dragon and Snake have ease. Today is an auspicious day for haircuts, writing, gambling, construction and births.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “I now let go of all my old habits. I take this opportunity to make fundamental changes in my life. God supports me totally in this action and my life is opening to new dimensions of freedom, love and happiness.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
I have learned that George may survive on beans and bacon but I need real protein. In that vein I also learned the cats recognize the metal skinned Salmon fish when I take one off the shelf. The fact that they had rolled the entire stack of canned salmon into their food bowl should have given me a hint. However, Napoleon does not like salmon. He is a very strange cat. After yesterday, I am feeling somewhat better. Tomorrow I have the doctor. It is an every Friday thing. Not exactly a date one looks forward to. I did manage to write 20 pages of my book today with a little help from Lady Jayne at my side.
Folks, no matter what misinformation is being circulated and I’ve seen everything from President Obama sees himself as ruler of the world to even sillier….It was Bush that aspired to that position just as soon as he took over Iraq and captured Benladen who happened to be in Afghanistan - geography wasn’t his best subject…just keep one thing in mind in the coming weeks:
I have excellent insurance through a multinational company. Each year two things happen: 1. My premiums go up. 2. What it pay goes down as do my choices.
5 years ago I could go to any doctor and the insurance paid 80%. I had a choice of mail order pharmacy or any pharmacy. Emergency care was paid at 100%
4 years ago, HMO, and preferred providers were added and I could have 1 refill at my local pharmacy before I had to go to the mail order pharmacy. Insurance still paid 80%. Emergency care was 80%
3 years ago, preferred providers were paid at 80% and others at 70%. Medication remained the same. HMO were pushed heavily. Emergency care at a preferred provider was 80%, all others 70%
2 years ago, preferred providers were paid at 80%, deductibles went up and I get one prescription under insurance at my local pharmacy but hey, mail order is cheaper. Other doctors were paid at 60...same for emergency room.
Last year, preferred providers were paid at 80%, suddenly it is cheaper to buy my prescriptions out of pocket than use the copayment at the mail order pharmacy. If the condition is not life threatening, the ER visit may or may not be paid. (Now keep this in mind. After hours, your doctor is liable to send you to the ER if he feels you can’t wait until morning but that may not be a life threatening condition. I was sent to the ER to see if my Heart Cath was alright because the doctor‘s office was booked up for a week…talk about rationed care. We have it now.) Other doctors are paid at 50% the customary expense which translates to about twenty five cents per every ten dollars of charge to me. When I enter the hospital, I have to make certain every person treating me is in-plan because even though a hospital is listed as a preferred provider, every doctor in it and some of the departments are independent contractors and need separate contracts with the insurance company to be a preferred provider. Most of them have already refused to take a huge cut in pay. The discount to the insurance company on my 16,000.00 bill was a little over 12,000.00. Would you be interested in taking that pay cut? Neither is your doctor.
Just keep this in mind in the coming months. Health care is already rationed to those who can pay, those on medicare and those so poor they are on medicaide. Oddly enough 2/3 of that equation is government run insurance programs like President Obama is suggesting be available to the rest of us. Oh, and I totally forgot but a friend reminded me: the VA. Our Congress is not at all worried about your health care when they can check in Walter Reed VA hospital any time they want for free. Our police and firemen put their lives on the line for us every day and they have to pay for the minimal private insurance plans your local government offers them. Why can’t the armed forces pay for their own insurance. Then again, good luck finding a preferred provider in Iraq. The rest of you can fend for yourselves if you aren’t in the above categories. So maybe you should learn how to file for bankruptcy now rather than waiting for the moment you get smacked by a car, fall off a ladder or get sick.
And as an historical point, every one of these arguments was brought forward when medicare was proposed. How about we do away with medicare and save even more money: 419 billion dollars to be exact this year alone? Then we can dump medicaide and VA and the government will be totally out of the health care business. With all these new people buying private policies, the prices should go down, shouldn’t they? That is Capitalism, isn’t it? That’s what the Republicans have been telling you. Oddly enough when I took economics in college back in the 70’s the Law of Supply and Demand said the greater the Demand, the higher the price. Hum………..Could they possibly be lying?????

Forecast and Faery Finder for 08/13/09
08-13-09
Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
Due to Cancer surgery on my forehead, I will off indefinitely until I can heal completely, have at least one more operation to remove more cancer and heal.
Sorry I’m late, but I have not been feeling well today. I got some more feeling back in my scalp whish stopped most of the phantom itching, but with it came pain. So, I took a few ibuprophen and they may have knocked me out for 18 hours or I just finally collapsed from the weakness. I don’t know which. I’m sure the cats have done lots of cute stuff today and will find out what when I step in it, trip over it or find it, but for now I am just trying to get the forecast out. George did fix me a lovely dinner of green beans, baked beans and broccoli with some bacon that Napoleon totally enjoyed. Yes, the gas cometh….Napoleon is on the Magic box where all the books and decks reside so there will be a slight delight while he cutes me and I go aweeeee…
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is turquoise and the incense is balsam.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is the Ten of Cups: accomplishment. Accomplishment is often empty when you find you have sacrificed relationships to attain it.
Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2007 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically, for the next week, use your intellect to make money and go over property matters to make money. Communications start early this morning, but they are short and sweet. You may not be happy with yourself this afternoon, but the way around current limitation in finances and property shows itself. Strike while the iron is hot because by late afternoon you start hitting financial blocks, things are confused and old pains surface to sabotage you. Romance this late night brings some emotional surprises you really won’t see coming.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say today you just aren’t feeling safe but know that the Fae love you.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is Mooncat. “Enjoy the ed and flow of your emotions. It’s who you are.”
Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for the Collective of Pixies. Their theme song is “Don’t worry, be Happy!” When things go down hill today, stop and follow their lead. There won’t be anything else you can do anyway.
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 1 and the Element is Metal. The Monkey finds conflict today but the Rabbit has ease. Today is an auspicious day for medical procedures, gambling and births but NOT for haircuts, writing and construction.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “The Divine Love of my Higher Self now flows through me in every situation of my life. The more I express this love, the more it returns to me.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.
