Hold On To Your Hats, People - The Sun Has Entered Aquarius! | armine's Blog

I used to be very into astrology, many years ago; my sister and I used to read many sun and moon sign books, and we were both interested in how the different planets in our solar system affect both individual personalities and far-reaching, global events. The Sun has left Capricorn and is now in Aquarius; so if you're feeling kind of 'out of it' (or just not like your usual self), blame it on that pesky planet of sudden change, Uranus (which rules Aquarius). Now being a watery Sun sign, I am not a particularly big fan of Aquarian energies; I much prefer the 'tried-and-true', the familiar patterns of life and I don't like sudden, unexpected jolts of sudden change. But, this is what Aquarian energy thrives on... so whether you know someone born under this sign or you are just wondering what the next four weeks might be like, here is my take on it: whether we're looking at personal, political or global events, expect the unexpected - it's just natural when the Sun is moving through the sign of the water bearer.

My roommate continues to be cuckoo... and now that we've gone into Aquarius I am sure she's going to be even more unpredictable than usual. Nowadays she seems obsessed with purchasing products slated to whiten teeth; she's got gels, whitening boosters, mouthpieces and half-opened mail order kits scattered about the apartment. Of course it would help her to know, that smoking will greatly reduce the effects of any tooth-whitening product; if she wasn't so nasty I would tell her myself but screw it - let her blow all her (or her rich mommy's) money on stuff that won't work on her teeth! To me it looks completely ridiculous (why not spend some of that ample free time looking for a job, or getting that necessary surgery done on her backside) - but hey, I won't say anything. We recently got our place inspected (state law); I wasn't here but the other day she told me 'it was bad'. I can't imagine why; she's the one that dirties the place and doesn't ever bother to clean, so what kind of results was she expecting? She really doesn't have much grip on reality.

I ordered a bunch of stuff today by mail (and Internet); kind of expensive but I keep up with my payments, and I just got a raise at my job (definitely helps). I ordered a lovely porcelain doll, along with a beautiful velvet quilt (and sham) for my bed; I'm also getting two new hoodies (I need them, my wardrobe needs help this year), a lamp, a beautiful flower-design umbrella and a 'crackling' candle (supposed to sound like a fireplace). Oh, and a pair of slippers that look like bunnies (Easter is coming up soon). Most of what I am purchasing (if not all of it) is 1) made here in America (so I'm helping our economy, in my own small way, by buying all of these things); and 2) are needed, and will be put to good use (I don't like wasting my money, on anything). I am going to get for my sister a couple of chair cushions (she needs them) and a sink mat (to make my dishwashing more visually pleasant). Speaking of little sis, she was supposed to have gone through an inspection of her apartment this week - I haven't spoken to her yet, but I hope everything went well. It better have; I bought special cleaning products for her, and did most of the cleaning myself! I should hear about it this weekend.

I joined my fave band's official chat forum today... I was hesitant to join (because of the $$ required to do it), but I did it today. Things are slow right now, so I'll probably stay away for awhile... but then again I can't promise anything, sometimes I just like to talk about them to people who are just like me...

Currently reading my Hungarian tourguide book (I've had it for awhile, now I am finally digging into it)... and what do you know, but 'barack' is the Hungarian word for brandy! So when a Hungarian hears the name 'Barack Obama', to them it sounds like 'Brandy Obama'! I thought that was interesting to know... would someone pass that on to Mr. President for me? He may wind up visiting the Hungarians (formerly known as Magyars) sometime in the future!

That's all for now... peace out.
