Forecast for Tuesday, Jan 4, 2011

This is a bank holiday in Scotland. Geez, don't let the American banks hear about it or they will want it, too.
Today's Tarot Card is the Two of Swords. Stalemate! You are blocked and nothing flows.
There will be a partial Solar Eclipse at 4:03 AM EST in Capricorn. This is also the New Moon, so start on those New Year's Resolutions. Mercury moves out of the Storm and is now fully direct.
Romance is based more on physical attraction that real compatibility with these aspects and that brings a bounty of emotional surprises. Let's just say, if you are not careful, you are in for a roller coaster ride with your heart. It won't be all bad because at the end, and there will be an end, you may just need the rest from a departing lover. There is just so much intensity a person can take.
This morning, authorities and elders are putting the breaks on everything. Don't be fooled by rhetoric. They are doing it to move ahead their personal agenda. You will not benefit. They have you convinced they know what is best for everyone, but it is just what is best for them. Keep your eyes open for movement after the sun goes down and everyone has gone home for the day. In fact, this would be a great day to work late and do a little spying.
I opened the newspaper to editorial headlines about "Obamacare" and "Death Panels". Okay. Now what do you call a group of people who are deciding whether to pay for extraordinary (defined as expensive) medical care so you can live: A Death Panel or a group of insurance clerks who will gain their promotion through the ranks by denying claims? What do you call the person who makes it through these ranks in the insurance companies and reaches the top? I'll answer that one for you: a psychopath, i.e. Ted Bundy. Now, why would you believe anything these people tell you about "Obamacare"? What do you call a million dollar limit on a health insurance policy when everyone knows that won't even touch the sales slip for cancer, a transplant or a really good heart attack? I call it an automated Death Panel. Don't let the Insurance Company Lackeys you elected fool you. The only thing they want removed from Obamacare is the limit on the amount of profit an insurance company can make off your hard earned bucks and not paying your claims. This has never been health care reform. It has always been insurance reform and these guys are worse than the bankers when it comes to deciding your life. Heck, all the bankers can do is force you to live under a bridge. These guys can kill you. All they have to do is approve an efficient health care plan for you, that is, one that makes sure you don't become a burden to their bottom line. Think about it.
The Cosmic Salamander will be opening very late today as I have a dental appointment and I need to stop at the feed store and pick up a month's supply of critter food. I would like to get to the huge fresh veggies store: Bedner's but it will depend on how much gas I have.
