aspiring wedding belle?

So I'm going to be part of this bridal fair this weekend, much thanks to Wedding Belle Magazine, & I can't wait. I'll be reading cards there for mostly brides-to-be, then copies of the magazine are up for grabs, & let's hope they won't get freaked out or anything. I'm bringing all my girly decks, & thinking happy thoughts, even if I'm half-expecting to be brain-dead at the end of the day. Readings should be quick, like 5-10 minutes roughly, & more thorough + in-depth readings can be scheduled privately at some other time, like a week after. I'm hoping to have fun, considering how ironic it is for an ex-fiancee (whose Saturn Return in Virgo in her 7th House & Aquarius Rising in her 1st House kinda prevented her from getting married more than 2 years ago, as she dreaded becoming Bridezilla that time, & who got officially engaged while Venus was retrograde in Gemini WTF LOL) to get excited about weddings again. I actually have cooler ideas now on what my pre-nup photos will be like (rockstar-ish as per my Libra Sun + Scorpio Venus LOL), what my actual wedding gown will be (inspired by Elie Saab's S/S 09 collection), what my wedding favors will be (Earth-friendly & practical!) & what my save-the-dates will be (Ouija board-inspired!), for starters! Now I can't wait to taste cakes, or ogle at pretty flower arrangements & superb wedding photos & whatnot! This should be fun! I want to invite Love back into my life! (Uhm, WTH.)

Cards that I can expect to turn up the most in my readings by then would be:

Judgment - The whole announcement alone would be so much to talk about, complete with press releases & pictures, plus hello, new phase in life.
The Sun - Beach weddings, procreation, pina coladas, the whole shebang.
The World - Overseas or out-of-town weddings & honeymoons, interracial marriages, plus focus on the bride's dress & makeup & entourage.
Temperance - The whole ceremony itself, & life after the party. (READ: Reality!)
The Chariot - The bridal limo, plane tickets, the bridal gown even, & please, for the love of God, no DUI.
The Hierophant - Church weddings, spiritual retreats, gratitude for blessings, observing traditions, religion issues.
The Empress - The bride, who else, then maybe her mother & future mother-in-law. The maid of honor can be considered, too.
The Emperor - The groom, then maybe even his father & future father-in-law, plus best man.
The Magician - The search for the perfect wedding coordinator begins, or the newlyweds-to-be weaving their own creativity.
The Fool - Ooh, finally saying, "I do" or even eloping, HAHA, or getting married in offbeat scenarios, like skydiving or... well, you get the idea.

The Star is all about the bride, too, & the Devil would be them crazy bridal showers or stag parties or... you do the math, sigh. Strength would be all about grace under pressure, or even cold feet; while Justice could be all about prenups, annulment or divorce issues before subjecting oneself to a new lovelife, or even arranged marriages.

Other cards I'm personally excited about because they really talk about engagements & weddings would be the 4 of Wands (garden weddings, presents, summer weddings), 9 of Cups (yay, the Wish Card is always fun to get, especially with an open bar & chocolate fondue station!), 3 of Cups (toasts & free-flowing booze!), 2 of Cups (yay, vows!), 10 of Cups (family planning & Christmas), 10 of Pentacles (love that will span generations & yay gracious gifts), Ace of Cups (wedding ceremonies, pregnancies, bridal glory), & uhm, the Ace of Wands (haha, cf. The Devil).

Oh, I need to claim my red smartphone from my usual Nokia Care Center by Sunday, & get my Dzi bead bracelet fixed, so Heaven help me. I lack sleep, despite Mars has gone finally direct again in Leo. Our DSL connection has gone bonkers, & we were just about to give up & throw away our wireless router & switch to a different ISP, but voila, I'm back. Please bear with me while I try to catch up with the overdue email requests & blog posts. But I should be done by Monday at the most, so yay. I sorely missed you all.

Anyway, I'd like to thank all my newfound clients & repeat patrons for all their referrals. Not to mention all the awesome feedback I've been getting from them, on how amazingly right on the dot my readings have been lately. Yay. More about that in a bit. For now, enjoy the weekend! ♥

Love is in the Air when the Moon's in Leo (again, bleargh)

Looks like Mysterium Philippines is at it again.

Just perfect. The Moon will be in Leo again by next week, & Full again in Virgo the following day. Oh, God. This isn't going to be a trend, is it? I love it when the Moon is in Leo, rawr, though I really can't remember the last time it was in that sign last year. I remember when Venus was in sparkling Leo, though. It was such a sexually-charged time, yikes. Oh, well. 2010 should herald a whole new beginning altogether. I can't wait. This exciting psychic fair will be brought to you by my esoteric buddy Sunshine (Sun in homey Cancer, Venus in gregarious Gemini), who has been the most patient ever since. ♥ Anyway, she has been forever inviting me to visit her humble abode & check out her enchanted garden, & I think I can use a bit of help with my budding interest in herbal magick, as I'm trying to revive my dad's orchid display et al here at home. So, oh, what the heck, I'm going, even if I've been dreading to trek up North. Wish me luck. I hope to see you all there, too. Just let me know if you're checking this out, as this is a strictly invite-only affair.

No, thank God I won't be doing any readings, as I'll just be coming home from an earlier private event, but I'll bring my decks & books just the same for some moonbathing. I wonder how I'll be hauling everything back home, though. :))

keeping the faith

Moon in Virgo
January 31, 2010 to February 2, 2010

Caution this Moontime: you could get snared by a "Virgo moment." Stuck on a detail you can't abandon, compelled to argue small points with somebody who is as stuck as you. Or suddenly everything is a poorly organized file in need of drastic tidying. Most diabolical is the urge to tear yourself or somebody else apart with criticism. If you've gotten too busy with the little things, look to a bigger principle to lift you out. Or try the color purple. Visualize yourself in a bright field of purple wildflowers. Draw your imagination into the center of one flower & feel your kinship with it. Know that everything less than perfect is also holy. The intellect is keen during a Virgo Moon, & it likes useful work. You'll hit your groove doing something productive. Straighten up a small corner of your world. Attend to an unsolved problem. Avoid heavy, spicy foods; be good to your liver & digestive system.

Hi, everyone. Belated Happy New Year. But there's always the Lunar New Year which coincidentally falls on Valentine's Day, & I won't miss it this time, even if I could care less whether or not I have a date, bleargh, hehe. I'm just really busy with work right now, & I could actually use some sleep.

After crying almost every day since last week, not to mention just recovering from sinusitis-turned-laryngitis last January, I was really relieved to have spent a nice weekend with old friends & new people. So, yeah, despite my looking like a zombie with puffy eyes & the whole grunge vibe, I'm glad people were still talking to me, haha. I hope I've made new friends, & I'm really looking forward to a very exciting year. I even dreamed that I was dancing several times earlier today LOL, but I'm really not such a good dancer IRL. Anything that would draw attention to myself, such as dancing & posing for pictures or even smiling back at cute guys beaming at me like crazy, makes me terribly uncomfortable. But yeah, I'm quite happier now. Yay. I guess I'll just eye cream more often.

I'm also happy that my Virgo kid brother got me a new wireless router just today, while under the influence of the just recently full Virgo Moon. Since he knows I can't be bothered to do anything by myself now, after trying my very best to assert myself this weekend to clear my head & get into perspective about my current situation outside my New Age lifestyle, he's taking care of everything now, even updating my "virtual workspace" configuration so I can work in my bedroom in peace again. I love him so much. ♥ Hopefully this week I can finish everything I have overdue at this point, despite all the cosmic hurdles that I've been enduring since last week. I can only hope my horoscope this week rings true:

Jupiter has now moved into your health & lifestyle zone,
so you will get lucky breaks, more energy, & many opportunities to fulfill your goals.
I'll come back later to finish both this post & the previous. I've so much to share.
