Alex moved out on the 1st, into a great condo space with Penny, leaving an empty room behind.
My birthday on the 7th. Already? I've heard the older you get the faster time flies. I never really believed it before, but it doesn't seem that long ago I was celebrating my 50th.
Celebrated my birthday in Paris! After 8 incredible nights, it was off for a week in London! What a vacation. I am still going through photos and absorbing some of the experiences. This holiday will linger for awhile. It certainly broadened my perspective.
Work-wise, although I am still with the public service, I resigned from my home position, ended my secondment, and accepted a new job. I stepped 'down' from management into a position that pays slightly better, offers more holidays, and a better chance for work-life balance. Started the new job determined to set healthy habits (like eat lunch and leave work on time). So far so good!
Thankfully last weekend we were able to relax at Toronto Island and totally unwind. Drop anchor, dinghy through the islands, enjoy the 'Indian Summer' temperatures, have Alex overnite on the boat, enjoy dinner with friends, ride our bikes, read, hang out. Lovely.
Tonight, a restorative yoga class, and early to bed.
horoscope for the year ahead:
You have very strong values, and others know it. Your
persistence is the major
key to your success, but good money management is also a big
contributor.
Extremely sensitive to your surroundings, you pick up signals that fly
over
others' heads. You are generally quite organized. You are competent,
hard-working, and very proud of the work you do. Some may find you
critical and
tough-minded. On the inside, however, you are passionate and emotionally
sensitive, and you don't always show your more vulnerable side. You tend
to
attract relationships in which there is an imbalance of power - either
you are
controlling or dominating, or your partner is. Power struggles may be a
theme or
pattern in your love life until you learn to demand equality. Famous
people born today: Grandma Moses, Buddy Holly, Chrissie Hynde,
Shannon Elizabeth, Michael Emerson, Evan Rachel Wood.
Your Birthday Year Forecast:
Your attitude towards life evolves and transforms in
significant ways with transiting Pluto trine your Sun. What
used to satisfy you may not continue to do so, particularly if your
goals have been superficial or a poor reflection of your inner desires.
You are no longer willing to make compromises in the important areas of
your life, particularly with regards to career and your life path. You
are more determined this year, and it's an excellent time for getting
rid of bad habits. This is a year in which to get your life back on
track, as you have the willpower to do so. Others are bound to recognize
your leadership skills and talents, or, at the very least, your
potential. You want your life path and your objectives to reflect what
you're really about. You benefit from being more decisive than usual,
and your ability to concentrate and focus help you to achieve what you
set out to do. A new project or goal begun this year has a good chance
of being successful and long-lasting.
You have a stronger focus on, and dedication to, work in
the period ahead, sometimes taking it a little too far. Taking the time
to pull yourself away from your pet projects or work will help bring
more balance to your life, and will ensure that you don't neglect other
important areas of life. However, you can make significant headway in
specific areas this year, and you are likely to feel a strong sense of
direction and purpose.
This is a good period for bringing more order and
organization to your life. Success comes from hard work and detailed
attention.
However, with Mercury square Pluto in your Return chart,
there can be some intensity in your thought patterns and interactions
with others. Try to avoid coming on too strong with your opinions. You
are hungry for deeper meaning, but a suspicious attitude, or making
mountains out of molehills, won't serve you well. Some secretiveness is
possible. At times, you may have a troubled mind and some mental
anxiety. On the other hand, it can suggest the ability to engage in
deep, penetrating communication this year. Mercury governs speech, and
you will need to watch what and how you communicate. Something you write
or say could lead to opposition from others. Your need to investigate
and read between the lines is strong this year. It's best used for
research and increased awareness of psychological motivations, both of
others and yourself.
You can be highly creative and original this year.
You are especially dynamic and might often experience bursts of energy.
Activities that require fast
reflexes or spontaneity can thrive. You are bolder and more courageous. You are
naturally competitive, but not in an aggressive or antagonistic manner.
In fact, you are easy to smile in this period of life, and you more
readily drum up enthusiasm than you do opposition.
This is a year in which you make important changes and improvements to
your life. It's a standout period for focus and commitment. Both work
and "play" are emphasized, so that striking a nice balance is within
reach. You can be
especially creative this year, and others tend to be attracted strongly
to your more unique traits. Big, and even pivotal, changes can be made
towards self-improvement goals, as your willpower is stronger than
usual.
