Cancer (June 21–July 22)
Cancers, despite your sensitivity and intuition, are occasionally terrible at compromise. You get into this all-or-nothing, with-me-or-against-me mentality and don't give anyone room to maneuver. Things in life are rarely as starkly black-and-white as they sometimes are in your heart. This leads to heartache for you and those you're close to. One of your biggest challenges in life is trying to find a way past this uncooperative state of mind, to live more in the gray areas of human emotion. This week it should be more obvious than ever that clinging to absolutes can only lead to pain; aim for the more subtle (and accurate) spaces in between.
Leo (July 23–Aug. 22)
Playing dirty isn't your style. Sure, you're pretty good at it when you have to be, but sinking to that level doesn't suit you, and won't serve you well in the long run. You're at your best when you can simply and openly be who you are, uncensored and unlimited. That's exactly what you should strive for right now. Strip away the layers of deception—especially self-deception (well-intentioned as it might be)—and bring your full self to the situation. This may frighten or intimidate some and turn off others, but those who you most seek to impress will be exactly that—impressed.

So did I mention that I have my interview w/the orchestra next Tuesday morning? No? Well, yup, I do. But thankfully I've got work to keep me distracted over the weekend. I'm still going to be nervous but maybe less so than I usually am having worked for them already and having done a good job (for the most part). But I'm going to try not to obsess over this whole thing...I'm going to brush up on answering interview questions and get opinions on what I should wear in this bloody warm weather.
☯ ♠ Ω ♤ ♣ ♧ ♥ ♡
It was awesome to hang out w/R & M the other night after work and have a few beers. I really do need to get out more often don't I? I do always have fun when I do...it's the "getting there" that seems to be the challenge.
☯ ♠ Ω ♤ ♣ ♧ ♥ ♡
Bro came over today to give Suzette a jump since somebody, ok, yours truly, left the dome night on overnight and most of the next day the other night (I blame it on the beer! :P ) Oops! Thank goodness that worked and it all happened during my "weekend".
☯ ♠ Ω ♤ ♣ ♧ ♥ ♡
I'm still loving my new hair. Yay for finally having a professional cut it. It's so easy to "wear" and works with my natural waves (how I'd get so lucky as to have some natural wave to my hair?)
☯ ♠ Ω ♤ ♣ ♧ ♥ ♡
I spent the beautiful day mostly indoors catching up on some TV. (I've stopped beating myself up over not spending more time outdoors during the summertime...good for me!) I didn't think I was going to care for "Covert Affairs" but I really liked it. And I thought I'd really love "Rizzoli and Isles" but a. it made me sad that "Women's Murder Club" didn't last and b. it wasn't that good though I can't quite put my finger on why. And yay to "White Collar" being back. Really like that one.
☯ ♠ Ω ♤ ♣ ♧ ♥ ♡
OK, so now that I've put you to sleep w/these scintillating tidbits, I shall wish you good night and sweet dreams.
