Elsa P: January 31, 2013 – All Planets Direct! FOG!
This is a strange week! All planets are direct now and will stay the way through February 17th. You can take this to mean you're going to move forward now. Some will crawl ahead reluctantly. Others will hurtle ahead, happily or maybe stupidly as the case may be. One way or other, it's all systems GO this week...GO into the fog that is. I think this is quite funny in a cosmic joke way. We won't be moving backwards with all the planets in direction motion, but as the week passes, … [Read more...]
