Feeling Horoscopal... Again

This weekend has been slightly off for me. Maybe a bit more than slightly... just OFF.

I checked my horo at work just now. Wanted to copy and paste and perhaps explain.

My Rising Sign:
The Moon is asking you to shed your emotional skin in order to bring in new and positive energies. This Lunar event will permit you to focus on your relationships and the way in which you pair yourself with others. Your close partnerships will be an important centerpiece of this endeavor. There is a great emotional intensity to the day that cannot be ignored, no matter how much you try.

Daily Planetary Overview:
Mercury quincunx Saturn today will make life uncomfortable and will indicate worry. You may need to get rid of negativity in order to function and feel less stress. Try to see beyond your current challenges and frustrations.

Lovescope:
You might find it challenging to connect with people in positive ways today, Lauren. There is a fair amount of nervous, moody energy floating about, and you don't want to be the victim of target practice from a grumpy personality. Your efforts to create peace might go unappreciated, and your attempts at humor might fall flat. Don't take on the obligation of psychologist. Try to focus on your own responsibilities and let things calm down.


Uhh... Shed my emotional skin? Why don't the planets just strip me naked and slap me around? I hate "shedding my emotional skin" and stuff. I kinda did that this weekend though, that's why it's kind of ironic. I try to "shed my emotional skin" from time to time, to let go of things, to let others know things, to open up for God's sake.

Life will be uncomfortable and worrysome today... great. But it's true. Today, I do feel uncomfortable. Not so much worried. Actually, yeah, perhaps a tad worried. More than those though, I'm in MUCHO back pain today. Damn work chair.

There is a fair amount of nervous energy floating about my atmosphere today. Sweet. But this is also true.

I wonder if this is some kind of self-fulfilling prophesy though. Like... did I realize this is how I felt before I read my horo? Or did the horo bring this "new light" about after I read it?

I mean, I'm not crazy. I was pretty much already feeling this way when I woke up. I think it all started last night before I went to bed. But regardless, horoscopes are interesting. I should tell you about my fortune cookies sometime. They are always kind of cool.

Anyway, happy horo readings.
