Scorpio Serenade

The Sun entered the Sign of Scorpio on October 24 this year. The intensely passionate sign of Scorpio is represented by a scorpion. Why? Scorpions are rather dangerous creatures with snappy tails that they are not above using from time to time. Ouch! They have a rather hard shell protecting a soft, highly vulnerable inner core. This shell is a protective armor and the tail is a protective weapon against the sharp edged dangers of day to day life. The other animal associated with the sign of Scorpio is the eagle which highlights the promising possibilities of the sign to soar above all others in a graceful, majestic display. Let's see which side is revealed when you run into a Scorpio....

I just discovered a wonderful song / video about Scorpios on You Tube. Keep the passion going, Scorpio, as we move into Sagittarius this week!

 

The Sun. One of My Favorite Tarot Cards

When I get my cards read (because I cannot read my own cards...) there are a couple of cards that I love to see pop up. One is The Sun. The Sun is your big wish. That which drives us to happiness and success. Depending on where the Sun pops up in your reading spread and whether it is upright or reversed indicates where we can achieve our big dream.In Astrology, our Sun sign is our basic personality. It also represents our mission in life. So the Sun card inthe Tarot deck also indicates where we feel most like our true selves and where we strive for happiness and fulfillment.

Here are some of the glorious versions of the sun tarot card - 8 from me today because 8 is the number of luck and prosperity. Use this post as a lucky talisman for all of your hopes and dreams today.

 

Tarot readers tend to have various meaning for the same tarot card which is why readings can vary from reader to reader - based on different card interpretations.

The Aeclectic Tarot website has meanings for all the cards, some of which I agree with and some that I have different interpretations. But check out their site and see what you think.

ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
If daydreams of sex pass through your every waking minute, have it stop and park for a while in a loading zone. Aries are especially appealing and romantic now which helps you catch a certain someone’s eye. Maybe you can use your powers of persuasion to find a well endowed benefactor to help you massage your asset base ... or something like that.

TAURUS   (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Any rough patches in partnerships are smoothed over this week. Taureans need to be especially diplomatic and forgiving no matter how off put they may feel. Why not just pamper your partner and reap the rewards. If you’re on the hoof, bottle your charm and pour it into various mugs. It’s intoxicating as long as it doesn’t sit around and become too syrupy.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Geminis discover little tricks that ease the pain and strain of any crummy job. Try to look at dull and boring tasks more optimistically. A good state of mind can make even the worst project a dream to tackle. You not only clear your desk, you also have more energy for healthier outlets. Hire a personal trainer. It is never too early to prepare for nude beach season.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
This week heralds in luck, creativity and fun. Make good use of time, Cancer, and implement your plans for the winter season. Go all out - the party begins on the hour at any hour. But know when to step back, relax and recharge. The fates also bring the prospect of romance. Will you know it when you see it or will you be too busy diving into the punch bowl to care?

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Disagreements with family can be overcome if you focus on fixing them. Collect your thoughts and your most persuasive arguments. Keep cool and find a compromise that you can live with.  If your domestic agenda needs renovation along with any languishing home repairs, see to it now. We can all use a bit of sprucing up now and then, Leo. Hint...hint.

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Virgos are at a communication peak this week. You avoid major gaffs and can get your point across in a diplomatic and even charming manner. What a nice change of pace! Be extra nice by adding a bit of sugar to your delivery with some yummy compliments. Say what you mean and mean what you say without fear of retribution. Errr what exactly do you mean??

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Libras are fiscally adept and deepen their pockets this week. It is never too difficult, boring or time consuming to keep a careful track of the flow of cash. Now you are not only able to corral any ornery monetary problem, you can hogtie and brand it. Just in time pardner! The winter season will bring extra needs and wants and you will be well heeled to handle it all.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Charisma oozes out of every pore. Pour it on and see who licks it up. Scorpios have all the luck this week. Try not to waste this glorious energy on short term low level nonsense. Set all your new ideas into motion, pursue your long held personal goals and meet those who can give you a leg up. And if you happen to get a leg over as well, congratulations.

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
There are times when Sagittarians feel the need to open up their largess to those in need. This week is one of those times. Now that the charity season beckons, do what you can to alleviate pain, poverty and loneliness in your community. Leave some time for yourself to rejuvenate and meditate on life. Contemplate your navel ... or perhaps someone elses.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
You gather together a virtual United Nations of pals. Capricorns are diplomatic and make even bitter rivals feel as if their opinions are heard and considered. Let’s see if you can achieve world peace. Have a bit of fun while you’re at it and dip a toe into hot new social pools. You may decide to jump in head first. Beware of sharks ... unless you are wearing shark bait.

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Navigate the treacherous corporate waters this week as you  bank on your innate charm and grace to get what you want when you want it. Tell ‘em what they want to hear, advance and  toss them out once you occupy the corner office. Survey the lay of the corporate land and carve out a small kingdom for yourself. Did I say small? I meant big, big, big, Aquarius!

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
The world is your oyster, along with a stray pearl. This is no time to plop in front of the TV. Escape your routine, Pisces. You are sent on some interesting tangents where you  explore exotic locales that get you into mischief. (Finally!) Even legal issues go more smoothly especially if you bring your briefs  into evidence and rest your case. Whoo hoo.

Lucky Numbers for the Week of November 16, 2012

Lottery ads tell us you only need a dollar and a dream. But it is also helpful to have a list of lucky numbers to help spur the good fortune ... or fortunes. So with that in mind, here are some lucky numbers that can be used in any helpful way. I gazed into a pool of water, Nostradamus-like, and contemplated the cosmos. Then I mixed the tarot cards and allowed the spirits to guide me to the cards that represent the lucky numbers for this week. Nothing is guaranteed but who knows ....?

I choose eight numbers because 8 is the number of wealth.

Here are the lucky numbers for the week of November 16-22, 2012:

3, 24, 25, 31, 33, 40, 58, 59

Edible Deoderant

Now this is something interesting. And probably (hopefully) all natural. The thought of eating a deoderant is strange but since other fragrances can ooze out of our pores, why not something wonderfully smelling?

Deo Perfume Candy is a new type of confectionary that not only tastes sweet but also makes you smell sweet. The ‘edible perfume’ contains rose oil, which exudes aromatic compounds like geraniol through your pores, causing your skin to smell of roses.

It is a tangerine-flavored candy and was developed by the U.S. company Beneo in partnership with  Bulgarian confectioner Alpi. One serving (four pieces of candy) contains around 12mg of geraniol, and is said to be enough for a 145-pound person to smell fragrant for six hours, as it slowly evaporates through the skin. Deo Perfume Candy is available online from Amazon for $7.99 in standard and sugar-free varieties, and it’s expected to be sold in shops soon.
