A Little Humor for Your Day – And Goddess Made Dogs and Cats c. 2012

And Goddess Made Dogs & Cats

Man said, “Goddess, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every day. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here, and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me.”

And the Goddess said, “No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever, who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be at times, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself.”

And the Goddess created a new animal to be a companion for Man. And it was a good animal. And the Goddess was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Man, and he wagged his tail a lot.

And Man said, “Goddess, I have already named all the animals on your Earth. I cannot think of a name for this new animal.”

And the Goddess said, “No problem! Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a partial reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.”

And DOG lived with Man, was a companion to him, and loved him. And DOG was beside Man, all the day long. And Man was comforted. And the Goddess was pleased. And DOG was content and wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that Man’s spirit guide came to the Goddess and said, “Mother, Man has become filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock, and he believes he is worthy of adoration. DOG has indeed taught him that he is loved, but perhaps too well.”

And the Goddess said, “No problem! I will create for him a companion who will be with him forever, who will see him as he is. The companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not always worthy of adoration.”

And the Goddess created CAT to be a companion to Man.

And CAT would not obey Man. And CAT would love Man when CAT chose to love Man, and not when Man chose CAT to share affection.

And when Man gazed into CAT’s eyes, he was reminded that he was not the supreme being. And Man learned humility.

And the Goddess was pleased. And Man was greatly improved. And DOG was happy, and wagged his tail.

May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.

As a Taurus born on April 24th, you seem to be very down to earth but also creative and witty. You tend to work with what is given to you and although your goals may be very high, you always know where your place is, therefore don’t have your expectations cheated.

You are graceful and make yourself respected quickly, with most people you interact with. Prepare to read an outstanding horoscope profile below.

 The zodiac sign for April 24 is Taurus.

 Astrological symbol: Bull. This symbol suggests stubbornness but also sympathy and warmth. It is characteristic for people born between April 20 and May 20 under the Taurus zodiac sign.

 The Taurus Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac and lies between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East. The brightest star is called Aldebaran. This constellation is spread on an area of 797 square degrees and covering visible latitudes between +90° and -65°.

 In Italy it is named Toro while the Spanish call it Tauro. However, the Latin origin of the Bull, the April 24 zodiac sign is Taurus.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. This means that this sign and Taurus sun sign are in a complementary relation, suggesting loving sense and curiosity and what one has the other lacks and the other way around.

 Modality: Fixed. Indicates how much intuition and flexibility exists in the lives of those born on April 24 and how inventive they are in general.

 Ruling house: The second house. This house represents all the lifetime material and non material possessions of an individual and seems to double the already existing influence orienting Taurus towards the pleasures of life and chasing wealth.

 Ruling body: Venus. This connection seems to suggest passion and intuition. The Venus name comes from the Roman goddess of romance. This also shows a focus on persistence.

 Element: Earth. This is an element governing the lives of those who engage with life with all of their five senses and who are often at peace with themselves. Earth as an element is modeled by water and fire.

 Lucky day: Friday. This amicable day for those born under Taurus is ruled by Venus thus symbolizes sympathy and generosity.

 Lucky numbers: 6, 8, 10, 15, 23.

 Motto: “I own!”

People born on April 24 possess a relaxed temperament and they are usually gentle, peaceful, unless they are provoked, just like most of us would. They are to be found surrounded by many material possessions and enjoy spending time with their numerous friends. They also seek to spend time in a distinctive companionship, mostly by powerful and authoritarian people. They try to stay as far as possible from insecurities and everything that has the slightest bit of air for change. They are patient and understanding most times.

 Positive Traits: Down to earth, awareness lovers, these people re also kind and caring to all people who win their trust. Taurus people are usually that kind of aspiring people who are not driven by force and power but by an attentive vision on life matters. Those born under this sign are also unfailing as they know that once they embark to do something, they are expected to finish what they start. And they manage to complete their tasks, both at job and in family with a lot of grace and dignity.

 Negative Traits: One of the things Taurus needs to learn is to stop settling and accepting less than they feel they deserve. Not only they need to begin fighting for what they want but they also need to understand that being self reliant won’t lead them to that satisfying and secure life that they want to live. Those born on this day lack malleability and are quite spiteful as they tend to remember every negative thing anyone has done or said to them. They are sometimes hesitant and easily harmed.

These natives seem to prefer to enter a serious relationship than date around and are happier committed to one person with whom they can share everything. They are attracted to creative, enthusiastic and dependable persons whom they can spoil and protect. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you maintain your individuality and a degree of independence while you keep all your eyes on them but also offer them space. When they are single they don’t seem to mind solitude as they find it easier to delight on the pleasures of life on their own without having to worry about making their partner feel loved and protected.

 Remarkably charming and affectionate they sometimes fall in love just for the feeling of it and not for the person near them. Once they find the right person, they will dedicate all their life and everything they have to this relationship and will ask for the same. They are a very kind soul and this won’t remain unnoticed by the important persons in their life. They will lead a great inner home happiness governed by domestic responsibility and good judgment. They are most compatible with those born on the 1st, 6th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 18th, 19th, 24th and 27th.

 April 24 Zodiac people seem to be most attracted to the other earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Taurus is in a permanent search for someone to keep them active and interested and the most suitable to offer them this is the native born under Scorpio.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions after 10:45 PM EDT today (7:45 PM PDT). The Moon is in Pisces.

The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Today you will act with restraint and cautious, common sense. Many of you will choose to work alone or behind the scenes because you’re assessing things and wondering about your next move. You’re not afraid to speak up; but you’re giving thought to what you will say.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

*** Today you will express loyalty and support for someone older — either a friend or a charitable organization to which you like to support. Something unexpected might trigger your feelings of responsibility and obligations to others. After all, you care.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

** Tread carefully when dealing with authority figures today, which means talking to parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and even the police. Your dealings with them are not predictable. Something unexpected might occur. Fortunately, others will see you as conscientious and reliable.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** Sudden opportunities to travel might fall in your lap today. Conversely, travel plans might be interrupted. It’s a crapshoot. Meanwhile, you will embrace traditional values when it comes to religious and political issues today because you believe the old ways are tried and true.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

** Tread carefully today because unexpected news from bosses or authority figures might impact your financial scene. This could relate to shared responsibilities, shared property, inheritances or banking issues. Stay on top of things so that you are not caught off guard.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

** Today you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Therefore, be ready to compromise. Having said this, unexpected opportunities to travel or encounter someone from another culture might catch you off guard. Stay light on your feet so that you can be flexible.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

** You are best served today by paying attention to your responsibilities related to your job, your work and even your health. Play by the rules. Do what is expected of you. Nevertheless, cancellations, delays and broken equipment might dog your footsteps. Be resilient.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

*** Your responsibilities to children and young people are important today and you will respect these. Others know they can count on you. Meanwhile, pay attention because this might be an accident-prone day for your kids. Social plans might suddenly change. Avoid sports accidents.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

** Small appliances might break down today or a minor breakage could occur because something will interrupt your home routine. Perhaps someone unexpected will knock on the door? Nevertheless, you are aware of your responsibilities to care for someone older – and you will.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign. However, it’s a good day to study and learn something new. Actually, someone older might have interesting news for you. Stay light on your feet because there’s an unpredictable element in the air today.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

** Keep your eyes open when it comes to your assets, your money and certainly your possessions because something untoward or unexpected could impact them today. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Do what you can to protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. On the upside, you might improve your job?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

*** Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with Uranus as well as lining up with both Saturn and Venus. This is a mixed bag. In one way, things are sudden, changing and unpredictable. Yet, in another way, you will toe the line and stick with what is tried-and-true. (Better safe than sorry.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer, actress, director Barbra Streisand (1942) shares your birthday today. You’re a perfectionist and a humanitarian. You are kind, devoted and protective of loved ones. This year is the beginning of new adventures and major changes in your life. Keep your eyes open for new opportunities. Take action and define your goals. Prepare for leadership. Stay independent.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This Thursday seems to bring a liberating and confident attitude for you and this means that you might finally get the courage to come clean with some things that have been troubling you for a while.

You might be viewing what you are going through in a different light and therefore you feel more compelled to change them.

There are some lessons to be learned and conclusions you can draw from this.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The particular situation that consumes your nerves at the moment won’t go away if you worry incessantly and it appears there is nothing practical you can further do either.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This Thursday announces to be a good time for minor travel so who knows where you might go after work tonight.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

At the same time, some natives might have to deal with some ghosts of the past, nostalgically reviving certain memories.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

While you might find it more comfortable to ignore certain chores, these don’t disappear and actually add up to that mix in the back of your mind.

You are only obtaining instant gratification and there may not be any more free time to buy when everything actually hits you, all at the same time. And by the looks of it, this Thursday evening is nearing a deadline.

You can also enjoy this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A positive day for all those natives who are confident enough in their communication abilities and have no problem standing up in front of more than 2 people at a time.

This might mean that you will be in the spotlight but not necessarily for something you did right. It may be that you need to officially solve a problem started by someone else.

You can also enjoy this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The current disposition seems to allow you a lot more confidence when it comes to engaging with others and working with a diverse group.

The only problem is that this is not likely to happen at work but in your private life and you might not know entirely how to navigate this and how comfortable or professional to act.

You can also enjoy this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This Thursday promises some good financial advancement but at the same time will see you tend to isolate yourself.

While some might do it to count their blessings, ahem, money, other might feel the need to take a more spiritual stance in front of what is happening to them at the moment. Some might even consider that some things are moving too fast.

You can also enjoy this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It appears that the stars really want to control some of your choices and you will feel more inclined to do particular things, although logically you might vote against them.

This is why, instead of dwelling between extremes, you could make everyone’s lives easier this Thursday and actually go on according to what your intuition says.

The Moon phase for today is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.
