My everyday readers are very familiar with my terrible proofreading, but today I was worse than usual. I generally start preparing to write the Skywatch article days in advance so that I won’t be caught at the last minute but that didn’t happen today and I was scrambling to finish it this morning before an appointment. Unfortunately it contained quite a few errors and thanks to those of you who wrote me with various corrections which I have made today. I’ll go through and check it tomorrow to be sure it’s comprehensive and makes sense. I will attempt to blame it on Mercury Rx, but you all know it has more to do with my Gemini ascendant.<\/p>\n

As it turned out, I realized that the appointment that I rushed to finish Skywatch for had already been rescheduled until next week, and then I spent three hours unsuccessfully trying to find a hotel or cabin for our upcoming weekend in western North Carolina that would take our dog. When I came home Rich said that he spent five minutes on the computer and found one.<\/p>\n

When I arrived at my office my wireless network wasn’t working, so I called my computer guy. He arranged to meet me after my client session. Naturally, by the time he arrived the network was working!<\/p>\n

Tales from the trenches. Fortunately Neptune turned direct yesterday after having stationed for the past week or two in a sextile to Jupiter which has been a sweet aspect with which to end the month. The combination of Jupiter and Neptune brings a fresh and hopeful perspective that we can all definitely use! It will be within orb for another week or so which should help us recover from any lingering retrograde effects!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
