Good Morning, my sweets! I hope everyone is having a beautiful Tuesday. I wanted to give you a brief heads up. Today, we will not be on the net. Hopefully this will be the last time I have to make this post or one similar ever again(yeah right, wishful thinking, lol!). I am sure you have probably noticed that we have been just dropping off the net suddenly. When it rains, we can’t get on , if we do, we are dropped. If a bird poops on the line, we are gone. Yesterday was the last straw, we were dropped and that was it. We couldn’t get back on for anything.

We have members that actually depend on us and with our current provider, we are not standing up to our commitment nor are we serving our members. I have been talk to a broadband provider for sometime now. I received a phone call yesterday afternoon from them. Their representative informed me that they were now installing in our area, if I was still interested. That phone call couldn’t have come at a better time. We are all sick, fed-up and tired of our present provider. We took a quick vote and I told the man to install us as quick as possible. He told me they would be out this morning, now that’s quick. I don’t know what will have to be done to connect us to their service. When the building was reconstructed all the old wiring was removed. Which I am very thankful for, didn’t trust it any further than I could have thrown it.

And they are right on time, he said 9:00 a.m., and they are here. We are off for now and will see you tomorrow. Hopefully faster and better than ever.

 

Till then….

Love ya,

Lady A

Geology on Pluto
Image Credit: NASA, Johns Hopkins Univ./APL, Southwest Research Inst.Explanation: Pluto is coming into focus. As the robotic New Horizons spacecraft bears down on this unexplored world of the distant Solar System, new features on its surface are becoming evident. In the displayed image taken last Thursday and released yesterday, an unusual polygonal structure roughly 200 kilometers wide is visible on the left, while just below it relatively complex terrain runs diagonally across the dwarf planet. New Horizon’s images and data on these structures will likely be studied for years to come in an effort to better understand the geologic history of Pluto and our Solar System. After suffering a troublesome glitch last week, New Horizons will make its historic flyby of Pluto and its moons on Tuesday.

 

 

 

 

PLANET TRACKER

Moon in Cancer

May 9, 2016 to May 11, 2016

 

You might be a little sensitive during this Moon. Unfortunately, everyone else is too. If you find yourself in deep water now, look to your intuition to get you out. The real issues are often hidden on Cancer Moon days, or dealt with sideways. People tend to circle the emotional wagons, reach for their antacids, and privately nurse their wounds. The collective unconscious is four years old and wants its mommy. Go ahead, seek nurture today. It’s like that children’s story where the baby bird, tumbled from its nest, quizzes all comers, “Are you my mother?” Only you’re looking for the World Mother. You’ll find her in a cozy place where you feel safe and loved; in a cup of tea, a mid-day retreat to your bed or a smile from a friend. Whether or not you have issues, it’s a good Moontime for sharpening your emotional intelligence. Distinguish foods that nourish (both real and symbolic) from those that bring heartburn.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for the Week

The Hourglass

The Hourglass is a gentle reminder that time passes and with it goes opportunity. Every moment is a moment we cannot retrieve or relive, and there are no guarantees that what we put off today really can be done tomorrow. The Hourglass urges us to make every second of our lives as rich and fulfilling as we possibly can.

As a daily card, The Hourglass suggest you may be allowing opportunities to pass you by. If you’ve been procrastinating or putting too much of your precious time into activities with no lasting value to you, now is the time for you redirect your energies into actions that will enrich your life.

Your Witches Rune Reading for the Week

 

 

The Blank Rune

This is a rune of difficulty and negative influences will rule your life for a time, but as all difficulties are a learning experience it will lead to improved personal perspective and progress on your life’s path. Always consult the surrounding runes with this stone. If it lies with a positive stone, it indicates that the pain of this experience will lead to a beneficial change in circumstances

 

 

The Crossed Spears

The presence of the spear signifies arguments, negative events, and all manner of strife of an upsetting nature. However similar to the ‘Tower’ tarot card if next to a positive rune it could mean the end of an argument or quarrel. If with the rings it means the healing or renewal of a relationship. If there are military connections it could mean promotion. If illness is within the equation it means a speedy and successful recovery.

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 10

 

Aries

You might take special pleasure in coming up with plans and workable solutions to problems today, dear Aries. Nevertheless, you prefer to oversee rather than to deal with some of the details, and the social side of working through a problem is of great appeal. This is a good day for relationships, particularly working ones. You might discover a new health program or wellness idea today, rediscover an old method that has become relevant once again, take interest in a new skill to learn, or possibly experience renewed interest in a work project. The bottom line is enthusiasm. You are motivated to make your daily life better. You are more able to look at a frustrating situation with optimism now, by taking a step back and seeing what it is that has been blocking you. Someone might pitch in or help you out with a practical matter today, boosting your feelings of security.

Taurus

Venus in your sign is forming some lovely aspects these days, dear Taurus, and today, Venus connects harmoniously with expansive Jupiter. Attention turns to your gracious qualities – people take note of you in positive ways now. Others are appreciating the very qualities you project naturally. It’s a time for basking to some degree, but for sharing as well. Opportunities for cooperation, loving and personal gestures, and shared happiness emerge today. You feel particularly friendly and sociable, and creative matters can blossom. It’s an indulgent time, and a time for sharing and opening yourself up to others. You might find that new avenues open up to you for exploring different ways of having fun or expressing yourself. You might discover an old hobby, passion, or love! With the emotional Moon in your communications sector all day, connecting with others is especially important.

Gemini

This may be a pleasant day, when the comforts of home, family, and possibly even some level of solitude are fully appreciated, dear Gemini. It’s a good time for casual entertaining at home, or for simply kicking back and enjoying quiet moments. Your manner is warm and hopeful today, and someone is likely to offer some help, or some friendly (and good) advice. It’s a potentially strong day for warmth with family and close loved ones. Bringing an open mind and heart into your close personal relationships can bring rewards. Good feelings in or about relationships can figure strongly now. There can be some tendency to indulge and possibly go over the top when it comes to spending, comfort foods, expressing affection, and pleasures, but this can also be a good time for learning more about yourself, your heart, and the people closest to you.

Cancer

This is a strong day for sharing your plans with someone and brainstorming to make them better, dear Cancer. Cooperative activities are favored. Creative endeavors can be productive as well. You may be thinking about how to monetize a hobby now, or might simply be deriving more pleasure from your pastimes and interests. You can enjoy good conversations and might hear something now that truly benefits you. You might be bringing a past project back to life. It’s a generally good day for feeling strong, motivated, and optimistic for the future. You are likely to be feeling especially generous and open, which attracts positive attention. Your appetite for pleasure is also very strong. The Moon is in your sign all day, increasing the chances that you’re in an indulgent mood!

Leo

There can be especially good feelings about a special someone today, dear Leo, and giving them the benefit of the doubt not only benefits them, but it warms your own insides. You are feeling generous today, and may very well make a bit of a show of gift-giving, or you might simply extend a hand and help someone out. It’s a strong time for feeling comfortable and enjoying your particular position in life. Honor uniqueness and freedom of spirit now – freedom and openness in relationships are favored most right now. Opportunities to make more money could emerge for some of you, and there can be some gems in past projects. Think big right now, and vow to take care of the details later, as the details may not yet be clear. It’s not the best of days for your budget, but indulging yourself a little may be exactly what you need at the moment. The Moon is in your privacy sector all day, and the need for some extra rest or time to reflect and digest recent events is highlighted.

Virgo

Your more philosophical side comes to the fore today, dear Virgo. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll be offering your opinion on the ways of the universe, but it does mean that you are sharing a broader vision with others – your ability to take it as it comes and to forgive and forget is strong right now, and out there for everyone to see. It’s an excellent day for winning someone’s favor or trust. It’s also good for gifts, finances, and family matters. Others are finding you very interesting and magnetic. This can be a day of high hopes and much enthusiasm, and it’s a strong time for attracting others to you through your unique self-expression and vision. It’s also a good day to put a past grudge behind you.

Libra

There can be a pleasant feeling of being at peace with the past today, dear Libra, or at peace with the “darker” elements of yourself and others. This is not to say that you accept poor behavior, but that you are more accepting of the idea of taking the bad with the good and seeing flaws or imperfections as beautiful. Today is strong for feeling loved and for giving love. Warm energy surrounds you, and others tend to be cooperative and open-minded at the moment. There can be a strong focus on the past, emotions, and inner desires. Something can surface now, such as an unusual coincidence, that brings some joy to your life. There can be a healing process going on now. Putting your trust in someone can feel good and even invigorating. Charity, giving/donating anonymously, volunteering, and helping others without expectation of reward can be fulfilling.

Scorpio

A Venus-Jupiter connection today encourages cooperation and optimism, dear Scorpio. Treating a partner as a true equal – as a friend – is favored right now, and has great rewards. Someone might turn to you as a confidante, and their faith in you can brighten your day, as you only want to further prove that they are correct for doing so. Love is gracious right now, making it a strong time for gaining others’ faith. You can feel especially hopeful about friendships, partnerships, and your future in general. Others might extend kindnesses to you now, and some of you might reconnect with an old friend. Group activities and associations could be avenues for fulfilling your own goals. This may be a time for looking back to a past dream, goal, or plan and considering whether it may benefit from revival.

Sagittarius

Your work efforts and your ability to meet responsibilities outside of work as well are highlighted today, dear Sagittarius, and may very well get noticed. You are inclined to help someone out today, just for the sake of helping, and this is bound to feel good. It’s a strong time for offering your services, and can be excellent for love, romantic pleasures, and comfort as well. A sense of inner joy and peace can be with you, which quietly yet effectively boosts your personal magnetism. You may be putting your differences aside with someone you care about. You can be feeling quite optimistic about your career or social standing. Stronger conviction is with you if you find more meaning in what you are doing, and this is quite possible now. There could be treasures to be found in past projects that might be renewed, and there can be good progress on a project already under way.

Capricorn

This is a good day for creativity, communications, romance, and adventure, dear Capricorn. Your powers of attraction lie in your ability to rise above petty concerns and to see the bigger picture. It’s a strong time to accept and forgive, to let go of petty matters, and to renew a personal interest or studies. You can be feeling pleasantly ambitious and optimistic today. Freedom of movement is especially important to you right now, as any feeling of being tied to a particular place or routine can leave you feeling stifled. Relationships with others can be strengthened with the sharing of personal philosophies and beliefs, ideas, and interests. Relationships can be enhanced today with a spirit of generosity . Teaching and learning are favored, and writing and studying flow more naturally. Love and affection are both easier to give and receive.

Aquarius

You are coming to a broader perspective now, dear Aquarius, and as a result your emotions stabilize, allowing you to focus better on what truly matters. Your senses are heightened and you might feel inspired, particularly through your deeper connections, intimacy, family connections, and realizations about psychological matters. It’s a good time to research a topic further or open up about a tricky topic. It’s also a strong day for facing fears and breaking through taboos, letting go of resentment, and coming at past projects with new energy. You can experience a real sense of joy through intimacy with someone special, or honesty with yourself. Attracting support, if needed, comes naturally. For some, a loan or support could come through.

Pisces

Excellent energy is with you these days for learning more about the people around you, for partnering and negotiating, and for expressing yourself in new ways, dear Pisces. Today you might be feeling a sense of growth – the future is looking bright. People are appreciating you, so be sure to allow for opportunities to mingle. You might reach a new level of understanding with someone special. You can find much joy in feeling part of a partnership or close friendship. You are expressing real confidence and you have a strong desire to move forward – to forgive and forget. Your own attitude is helping you to attract positive attention, and reaching out to other can be especially rewarding. Freedom is important today – you are not interested in repeating the same old patterns or in being tied to lifeless routines.

Your Birthday Year Forecast

With the Sun and Moon in a waxing semi-square at the time of your birthday this year, the period ahead is one of new initiatives and action. You possess quite a bit of energy, but you must be aware that emotions color much of what you do this year. It can be hard to be objective as a result.

This can be a year in which you experience important turning points, or you could begin new projects or goals that have a long-term impact on your life. There is the ability to see what you’ve accomplished with more maturity, and as a result, your ability to plan for the future is enhanced.

You have a lot to do this year – at times, you may feel like the pace of your life is running ahead of you. You can be especially productive, however, in all types of communications–writing, speaking, learning, teaching, and so forth.

You are likely to form new relationships or connections that further your spiritual growth, or to enhance existing relationships with a spirit of camaraderie. People in authority regard you favorably. Events take place in which you feel that you are moving forward and growing into a new phase of your life.

Pleasing circumstances surrounding your love life, finances, and creative pursuits are in store this year. You are more generous, and others return the favor. You might receive financial backing or special gifts in the period ahead. You seek a little more from your love life and you are likely to receive it. Some of you could fall in love this year, or existing relationships are enhanced. Adventure-seeking is a theme.

This is an excellent year in which to advance projects revolving around communications – writing, speaking, selling, and so forth. Your reputation may be enhanced through word of mouth. Making new contacts through learning and mental pursuits figures strongly as well.

There may be a project, idea, or person that demands much of your attention or occupies much of your thoughts. It’s a strong year for any project or studies that require concentrated effort. You are especially resourceful. You are willing to put in the effort and dedication to a mental interest or project. You are focused, detail-oriented, and may be perfectionistic.

It’s a good period in your life for taking necessary steps towards making yourself feel more secure and safe, and for family or domestic activities. This is also a period when you more readily support or defend others. Taking charge of nutrition, health, and domestic organization can be in strong focus and can be quite successful.

Watch for impatient or rebellious moves. There may be times when you miss opportunities because of pride or fear of being tied down.

Pluto begins a harmonious transit to your Sun towards the end of your birthday year, from March 2017, but will stay with you for some time and lead to important improvements in your life. You want your objectives to reflect what you’re really about, and you are likely to rid yourself of unsatisfying goals at this time in your life. Your ability to concentrate and focus helps 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. Your sexual and physical activities tend to be more intense, passionate, and focused. It’s an excellent year in which to make a lifestyle change, as your ability to concentrate on what really matters to you is enhanced.

This is a year of new initiatives and fresh energy. It’s a strong period for friendship, communications, learning, and connecting and is excellent for seeking advanced training or for furthering your education. You may be making good contacts with others, particularly through career, shared interests, or schooling. Positive plans and lifestyle changes can be made at this time in your life.

2016 is a Number Five year for you. Ruled by Mercury. This is a year of exploration and freedom. It’s a time when exploration and reaching out to others brings opportunities. It’s a good time to advertise and sell. Surprises are in store, and the routine is broken. This is a year when exciting relationships can be formed, or, if you are already in a partnership, new life is breathed into the relationship. Advice – explore, look for adventure, keep your eyes open for opportunities, mingle.

2017 will be a Number Six year for you. Ruled by Venus. This is a year of relative contentment. It is a time when love is the easiest to attract, and partnerships formed under this vibration have a better chance for longevity. You are able to attract others, and material things as well, this year. This is a good year for establishing harmony in the family and in the home. Advice – develop existing relationships, be positive and receptive because these kinds of energies help you to attract what you desire.
