I’m a little Preocupied: The Horoscope for the Week of September 2

 

Goodbye Leo, it was fun, but now it’s Virgo’s time to shine.

There’s a BARCO alignment of the Earth with Venus and Jupiter.  These are really great planets to be aligned with, what with peace, love, joviality, strength, power, majesty and whatnot, but the alignment is of really poor quality.  So the vector direction is great, the magnitude is crap.  There will be a nudge towards everything working out, but don’t expect it to overcome any significant obstacles.

Even though Leo no longer has the Sun, there is still Mercury spinning around up there, indicating great change coming.  I wonder how the stars knew I’m supposed to close this week?

Venus spends her last week in Libra, enjoy the peace while you can.  I can only hope that this means the the closing and subsequent moving will go smoothly.

Mars in Capricorn.  See, this is exactly what you don’t want to see when you’re moving.  Stubbornness and violence?  The movers are going to be dicks?  My shit’s going to get broken?

Jupiter in Scorpio.  This influence has been pretty solid for weeks now, so independently it just means status quo.  When combined with the current alignment, it indicates successful endeavors in pest control.  Surely I don’t need to worry about exterminators yet?

Saturn (retrograde) in Capricorn.  Now this one is tricky.  It indicates a loss of money, which is pretty much going to be happening if the wire transfer for my closing costs actually goes through (how the fuck do you put a typo in your own goddamn routing number, bank who shall remain nameless?  The next transfer time is all of three hours before my closing time, so surely that’s nothing to worry about).  But Saturn also goes station direct on Wednesday (the day I’m moving) so inasmuch as Saturn can ever be a good sign, this is it.  It is a great day for making endings, so “see you later” rental unit!

And lastly, the moon is in Taurus.  So we’ve got change matched with strength and patience.  Be strong, be flexible, things will work out.  It often seems like astrologers speak in clichéd platitudes.  But you need to remember, the stars spoke first, and the platitude makers ripped them off.

    I hope your closing and move are painless. I’m quite over moving, myself. I hope the next time we do it is to move out of Illinois.

    1. R C Dean

      My plan is to never move again. Ever. Including not moving off my couch.

            I’m not usually in a banning mood, but I could make an exception.

    2. commodious spittoon

      I moved this week. Don’t own much, and mostly replaced what I need via Amazon. My great discovery this move: you roll your button-down shirts, several at a time, hangers included, into bundles, and stick those bundles into a box. And then you take the bundles out of the boxes and unroll the shirts, and they’re ready to hang. It’s like they hardly moved at all.

      1. Playa Manhattan

        No plastic?

  6. OT – RE: McCain’s funeral/Trump roast

    It only makes sense that a man whose final months were devoted to politics should have his funeral be a political shitshow as well. I can’t think of a more perfect tribute to someone who allowed (encouraged?) politics to form his core being. Even more absurd were the theatrics of his family (Meghan in particular) bashing Trump. How twisted is your mind that you’re literally standing next to your father’s casket, and what you come up with to say is political clap trap? DC really is Hollywood for ugly people; they can’t be authentic and sincere even when authenticity and sincerity are the only appropriate reactions.

    1. tarran

      Just remember: these people have lost much of their power.

      In three weeks, people will stop taking their calls. In three years they will have no chips to cash for favors.

      Like a swordsman who has been mortally wounded, they are attempting one last blow before they die.

      1. Unless the governor appoints Cindy or Meghan to the seat.

    2. Playa Manhattan

      “DC really is Hollywood for ugly people”…. except for the part where I can’t get them out of my life.

    3. leonadasiv

      It makes you really pity them. They will have to live with these decisions for the rest of their lives.

    Ribs have been on the smoker for 3 hours. It’s under a 100deg here in Vegas so outside is wonderful. Beer, the scant scent of slowly cooking meet, dogs lounging on the patio…I ducking love America

    1. Ownbestenemy

      ducking…Fucking….whatever

    2. Playa Manhattan

      3 hours… in Vegas? Dare I saw that you woke up too early on a weekend?

      1. Ownbestenemy

        Started them 8am for a 3pm bbq. I use the 3-2-1 method and it works well. This time I picked up some blended spices from out Spice Lady down the street. Think it’s called BBQ Gold.

        nice little shop where we get our spices and teas.

    3. trshmnstr

      Sounds delicious! What kind of rub did you do on it?

      We’re doing pizza tonight. The dough has been going since Tuesday so it’ll be delicious. I have some chuck roast that has a date with the new meat grinder and the kettle grill tomorrow. Chicken thighs will marinate tonight and smoke tomorrow for lunches next week.

      1. Ownbestenemy

        That sounds good. Homemade pizza is so good. We used a pre-blend spice that is our spice lady shop we go to.

      2. westernsloper

        You bought a grinder? Very jealous.

      I did tire of hearing about that guy at TOS.

      The Gardena resident said she only stopped in once to order a burger — made with a mix of beef, grain and tofu to help cut down the price — and fried chicken wings.
      “It was so-so,” Burns said of the burger (she liked the wings). “It didn’t taste right.”

      LOL.

      How about instead of pushing half-hearted vegetarianism, try serving better versions of what people actually want to eat?

      1. westernsloper

        That’s just crazy talk. We have to change people’s behavior.

      2. Playa Manhattan

        Democracy in action. People vote with their money.

        The facebook comments were funny and predictable. “Man, I was really rooting for that restaurant!”. Funny, the people who actually ate the food there weren’t.

      3. mikey

        Seems like they were not counting on the benighted locals for customers.
        “Stephen DeBerry, Locol’s lead investor, said the restaurants were unprofitable and were hampered by too few customers willing to drive across town for fast food.”
        Gee, whoda thunk.

    2. westernsloper

      The Gardena resident said she only stopped in once to order a burger — made with a mix of beef, grain and tofu to help cut down the price

      I think I see their problem. Also, they should have had Ariana Grande’s on the menu.

      1. Playa Manhattan

        That was incredible. Apparently, the rules don’t apply to certain people. I wonder would what would happen if I grabbed a girl 30 years younger than me BY HER FUCKING BREAST and then made very public racist comments about her last name?

        1. westernsloper

          The breast thing ya, but there are more offensive jokes here daily. I thought it was funny. I wish the headline writers were honest about it though and we had headlines such as: “Bishop at Aretha Franklin Funeral Biden’s Ariana Grande”

          I think Biden should be a verb for such actions.

          1. Playa Manhattan

            The internet jokes here are appropriate for the time and place. This was at a funeral. Dude stuck his foot in his mouth all the way up to his knee.

            And nothing happened.

          2. Mr Lizard

            Ya but at least he wasn’t monkeying around…

    Surely I don’t need to worry about exterminators yet?

    That depends largely on location. If it is any house anywhere in FL you need to worry about getting an exterminator.
