My Cancerian Horoscope for the coming week

courtesy of 

Oscar Cainer

Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: Pantomime season is approaching and families across the UK will be heading to the theatre, where cross-dressing actors combine topical jokes and humourous songs based around fairy tales. If you were part of a production, you'd probably fit the Cinderella role. You're working hard, while others avoid their share of responsibility. And when it comes to going out and having fun... well... there's no time for that. This week brings the confidence to assert your rights. It's time to stop hiding away.

Part of what Mr. Cainer predicts above seems to apply to me. I'm impressed with his vision. 

               This image struck me as very charming. 

I would give a Credit if I knew who to assign it to. 

Credit:  Not me but a talented person. 

Additional News

 Discovered on Facebook

May your dreams come true

Didn't realize it at the time ... or perhaps, I actually did.
