Forty years ago today was 

Black Friday, 13th July, 1984

with a Full Moon. 

A rare event, indeed. 

In retrospect, it was perhaps a lucky day for me although I didn't think so back then.

Happy Birthday to me @ not-so-young.

 With so many lyrics telling us that love is the answer, it’s tempting to think that if we all rushed out and bought someone flowers, the world would be trouble-free. But the feelings such gestures elicit (lovely though they might be) don’t guarantee an end to conflict. And when the people we love are in jeopardy, we’ll do anything to protect them. Having said that, with Venus in your sign, the best kind of love is available to you this weekend. It will remind you of why you love life. And when you love life, you draw more love in.

   

With best wishes,

My Cancerian Horoscope for the upcoming week 

courtesy of 

Oscar Cainer: 

Your Weekly Horoscope: With Venus moving into your sign, and the Solstice, your name has gone to the top of the celestial helpers’ agenda. Wherever you go, they’ll be there in advance to prepare the way. And you can maximise their efforts. With a heart full of compassion, the number of serendipitous moments will increase. If your intentions are positive, you’ll have a good week. But if you want to make it really special, don’t just hope that things will work out in your favour. Take action! You can manifest a change you’ve been longing to see. 

Let's hope that this prediction is accurate !

Not as much rain this weekend as was predicted. 

Still chilly, though ... kind of fine. 

This month is birthday month for many folks. 

Tomorrow, I will return to work after a fortnight's break. 

How quickly the time passed by.  

How quickly the holiday memories will evaporate by Monday afternoon. 

This Japanese word aptly describes what I was seeking during my time off from work. 

Let's enjoy June.
