raybear | Is this related to a love hangover, like Diana Ross?

Yesterday's horoscope was read today, because I was absent from e-mail, and I've yet to receive today's horoscope. But I must post this because it sort of explains a lot.

We can suffer from a Full Moon Hangover today as the tension still hangs in the sky. The Moon has moved into Scorpio and the belief that we can make everything okay has dissipated. Left in its place is a harsh square between sweet Venus and restrictive Saturn, making us aware of the difficult path we have taken. Additionally, the Sun squares Mars, once again increasing our impulsive tendencies. The potential for ego skirmishes is higher than normal. The best we can do is to find outlets for our physical energy so it doesn’t get bottled up.

CANCER (Jun 21–Jul 22): You may still be harboring some resentment now, even though the height of the Full Moon is beginning to settle back down. You are in a social withdrawal phase, but this doesn’t mean that you are incapable of engaging in an intense situation if you feel threatened. You’ll do what you need to in order to protect your home base of operations.

Also, I forgot to mention that while I did not do any shamanistic journeying yet, I did have my medicine cards read on Wednesday for my once-in-a-lifetime power animal reading.

Here were the seven cards I pulled:

East -- Frog
South -- Horse (contrary)
West -- Elk
North -- Beaver
Above -- Turkey
Below -- Ant (contrary)
Within -- Grouse

I'm waiting for the final two to make themselves known to me. I know this will drive some people crazy (especially one), but I think one of them has appeared to me, but I haven't said anything aloud about it yet. My suspicious mind doesn't trust itself, especially since I haven't been relaxed and open enough to communicate with this animal when it has appeared -- I think in some ways I was overwhelmed with my thoughts on the other animals and lessons, that I'm not quite ready. So I've apologized to this animal for my slowness to acceptance and ask for her to have patience with me.

And now for something completely different....

My organization has this new outreach material -- door hangers. They have two same-sex stick people (of the restroom sign variety) with some hearts, then below it says:
You make love.
We make it legal.

I must say, I like this better than many other catchphrases used by my organziation, but maybe that's because I've already amended it in my head to make it dirtier: "you make love, i make it illegaly", "you make love, I fuck like it's illegal", etc. etc.

This seems to be a theme today since on the train I was thinking of some of my all-time favorite sayings/advice/catchphrases when it comes to not only consumerist needs but also health ones. Here are a list of my favorites:

1. Face up to wake up!
2. Ignore your teeth and they'll go away.
3. Doesn't it feel good to payless?
4. Nowhere in the Torah does it say 'thou shalt not have a little fun.'
5. But how does your mouth feel?
6. You think you know, but you have no idea.
7. Smokers are jokers.

Okay, I guess that last one doesn't really count since it comes from The Simpsons.
