It’s such a pity that the general public just doesn’t care about space exploration anymore.

Thou art as tyrannous, so as thou art,
As those whose beauties proudly make them cruel;
For well thou know’st to my dear doting heart
Thou art the fairest and most precious jewel.
Yet, in good faith, some say that thee behold
Thy face hath not the power to make love groan:
To say they err I dare not be so bold,
Although I swear it to myself alone.
And, to be sure that is not false I swear,
A thousand groans, but thinking on thy face,
One on another’s neck, do witness bear
Thy black is fairest in my judgment’s place.
In nothing art thou black save in thy deeds,
And thence this slander, as I think, proceeds.

Hngh. Little bit o’relapse.
Love this flu. Took almost 3 weeks to get kickin’, and now it won’t go away.
They pass before me, these Eyes full of light,
Eyes made magnetic by some angel wise;
The holy brothers pass before my sight,
And cast their diamond fires in my dim eyes.
They keep me from all sin and error grave,
They set me in the path whence Beauty came;
They are my servants, and I am their slave,
And all my soul obeys the living flame.
Beautiful Eyes that gleam with mystic light
As candles lighted at full noon; the sun
Dims not your flame phantastical and bright.
You sing the dawn; they celebrate life done;
Marching you chaunt my soul’s awakening hymn,
Stars that no sun has ever made grow dim!
Did I mention that the last time I colored my dreads I did a tarot card reading in order to decide on the color scheme?
In case you’re curious, the card I decided to emulate was Lust. Strength to those of you who shun the Thoth deck.
I am wearing my Peelander’Z t-shirt.
Life is good.

Personal Daily Horoscope of Thursday, 1 January 2004
for Minmei, born 24 February 1974
The last straw ***
During this time you may be much more irritable than usual and snappish with others, even though you cannot consciously recognize what you are angry about. Perhaps the most puzzling effect of this influence is that your irritability and anger seem completely irrational. They may not actually be irrational, but your anger may be about something that happened a while ago. This influence may create events that remind you of past anger that you didn’t show at the time. Now it is revived with such force that you have to show it. In this kind of situation a trivial incident makes you mad simply because it is the “last straw.” You are likely to be more angry with close friends or members of the family than with people you don’t know so well, immediate family being the most likely targets of your anger.
The interpretation above is for your transit selected for today:
