HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALL YOU WONDERFUL VIRGOS!

Today is a very special day - worthy of acknowledging - it is the birthday of my dear momma who turns 87 and if you saw her you'd swear she was only 60! No kidding! She has skin like porcelain and a brain as sharp as lightening, which we attribute to the fact she is a voracious reader and keeps up-to-date on current affairs and is still in love! Mother reckons that love is the secret of her youthful vigour (she used to attribute chocolate to her happiness as well until she gave it up for a special intention some years ago). She is still in love with papa bear, even after all these years - they celebrated 55 years together last February T.G. Even our kids say "they don't look like old people at all". Dad's favourite song is 'love it is a funny thing--it makes a man a fool!' He sings it when mother nags or gets him to hold her handbag...a thing my dear hubby promises he will never in a million years do! And I believe him! Maybe it's because I carry everything but the kitchen sink in my bag.

Another special birthday today is Tessa our cat. She was called after mother because they share the same birthday. When I told mother that we had called our cat after her and that they shared the same birthday - her reaction was: "Great at least you'll have one tidy animal in the house!" Virgos for the most part are 'neat freaks' mother being a classic example. It has to be said she was correct about dear Tessa. She is a pleasure to deal with. She never soils in the house - politely goes outside and if it's raining, she will ever so politely use her litter box. As for our two little chihuahuas...!! They may be small but they sure pack a BIG punch when it comes to maintenance. Against that they DO work for their supper and reward us for our efforts with lots of licks and cuddling and are loving and lovable little beasts. Tessa on the other hand is very cool and detached. "Just feed me missus!" and she's gone off again outside to chase the birds.

As well as being orderly and focused, Virgos have very high standards...as we discovered when we began feeding our Tessa deluxe cat food. She took to it immediately and will not eat anything else! Tessa's favourite room in the house is Victoria's bedroom. Could it be because she knows Victoria is a Virgo too? Yes, Victoria and Tess's birthdays are only two days apart. Victoria turns 17 on Saturday - More celebrations!!

I love Virgos because they are kind, considerate, calm, loving, hard working and YES - Purrfect Specimens!! So if you're reading this Victoria and you want to know 'what does she want now? - the answer is Nothing - Just be yourself...

Love all you Virgos and Have a great birthday month. Do something nice for yourself today...

Lotsa Love,

IT'S NOT Y0U! BLAME IT ON MERCURY...

hi friends,

Before we get to discuss mischievous mercury, let me tell you about the sweet surprise. I had just written my status about life being wonderful and full of nice surprises when lo and behold - a patient walked into my office carrying a magnificent rose from her garden for me in a little glass vase. Synchronicity or maybe it's true what they say, if you think positive thoughts, good things will happen. It brings me to my favourite saying:

'Optimism is a magnet that draws good unto itself"

Which leads me to the next thought...we're going to need all the optimism between now and the end of September. The planet Mercury is going retro or backwards in the sky. It only happens three times in the year - three times too often!! Because mercury is the planet of communication and the fact it is in an air/earth combo, we can expect communications between folk to be a little chaotic on occasion to say the least. This is how mercury retro works - you lose things, you forget appointments, people forget appointments, (I notice that happens a lot in our office around mercury retro phases) misunderstandings happen between people, you get irksome, irritable, feel misunderstood, bla bla. So that's why I wanted you to know 'It's not you--blame it on Mecury! It begins the new retro phase on Sept. 6th so try to avoid signing important contracts and if so pay attention to the small print! Don't make major purchases (darn I was going to buy a dishwasher...maybe get extended warranty).

Trust me when I say PAY ATTENTION try and elminiate carelessness, keep communication as direct and up front as possible, e.g. meet in person instead of using the phone, etc.

So just in case any of you folk out there feel a bit muddled and confused or things go missing, or that phone call or letter you are awaiting seems never to come - by the end of September when Mercury goes direct again, you will notice a big difference.

Does what I am saying make sense to any of you out there? Take note and diary each day. It would be interesting to hear if you experience any of the aforementioned between 6th and 30th September.

Optimism and paying attention to detail and not being careless will be sufficient armour to protect you.

Cheers and lotsa love,
