Rebuilding confidence...

Google Horo:

You may be redefining who you are and what is important to you now, as attractive Venus aligns with your key planet, Pluto. Even if you are a caterpillar on the leaf, imagine yourself as a magnificent butterfly. Once you begin to stretch your wings, you will be well on your way to flying. Anything is possible once you rebuild your confidence.

Saturday at the Tate Modern

Google Horo for Saturday: You can be a champion when it comes to navigating the shadowy realms of consciousness. Today a simple response from a friend or partner can quickly remind you of what you need to remember. Sometimes you can get lost in your own complexity; however, it's critical that you pay attention now to the most obvious things. Getting back to basics is how you can most positively impact your future.

Yes, today it was that French chick at the hostel. She set me off, talking about art and Braque and stuff. Si I set off for the Tate Modern, well actually I made the promise to myself that I could ride back, but I must see how far I got. I got as far as the Tate.

After that the British Museum, then back here. I was questioned by another chick at the BM, in that tiny little room by the entrance, filled in two pages of questions, but she was too cute to resist. And the questions were like, why do you come here, and what was satisfied by your visit? And one of the multiple answers was, because it's full of things of awe and wonderment, and another, because it enhances my own sence of creativity? That was easy...

Google Horo for Sunday: The tides are swirling around you, so it's crucial to keep your feet planted firmly on the ground to maintain your emotional balance. There is a real danger of being swept up in the moment if you cannot find a stable place to stand. Someone close to you may now step up to the plate, acting like the solid rock you seek. Let go of your fears and accept support when it is offered. Even temporary security can be the catalyst that allows you to relax.

Your Blogger's Horo: Don't consider yourself a failure just because you might be stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place. You may not be able to move freely enough to create the changes you desire. You are positioned better than you realize, but in order to make the most of it, you must open your mind wider than ever before. Then, hang on tight, for something big is about to happen.

Sunday Nite

Horo:

You may be feeling somewhat disconnected from your innermost feelings, but oddly enough this won't necessarily make you uncomfortable today. Think of it as a short vacation from your own intense passions. You haven't lost anything. Whatever you aren't feeling now will return shortly. Don't panic; just observe your process and maintain your sense of humor.
