  • A liberated feeling.

    When I had hella cash before, I felt guilty using the money. I didn't maximize the money's potential.  But this time around, I've read so many different types of books on money management and proper spending, it's feels drastically different.

    It's an incredible feeling to be able to spend money, guilt-free, when
    you have a budget and allow yourself a specific amount for absolutely
    anything. I decided to give myself a weekly allowance. Cash I can use for anything. :)

    80% to savings, 11% for splurging, 9% for necessities. This is how I decided to manage my monthly income.

    When my savings hits a satisfactory level, I'm gonna take out some and start daytrading again. I am thinking this is gonna happen this winter or early spring, next year.

    My nutritional habits are really improving too. I realized how much I haven't been watching what I put into my body. It makes a huge difference. Today, after work, I bought some non-fat organic milk at trader joe's on national. Lately I've been eating lots of papaya, mangos and pineapple because it is supposedly good for the sinus.

    Life is basically really good right now. My relationship w/ my friends are good and I am getting along w/ my family too. One thing missing probably is a girlfriend, but I'm still working on myself for the time being. there is no way I can make a girl happy or protect her unless I can make myself happy and protect myself first.

  • "Who you are" (Uranus Sextile Sun)

    Who you are ***

    Valid during many months: The effects of this influence are not always
    spectacular, but if you watch carefully, you will notice that there are all
    kinds of new and stimulating happenings in your life. It is not running
    along in the usual manner. But the changes and the unexpected events
    are not especially disturbing to you. Instead they open up new
    understandings and opportunities and give you a feeling that life still
    has some excitement and potential for growth.


    Opportunities may come about through friends, or they may simply pop
    up in some other area of your everyday environment. You may become
    involved with a new group of people who live in a way that you hadn't
    thought possible before. You may be attracted to new philosophies and
    new techniques for managing your life. This is one of the influences
    under which people begin to study astrology.


    All of these events are expressing your desire for greater freedom of
    self-expression. During this time you have the opportunity to gain
    greater control over your life and to make it a better vehicle for what
    you want to do. Any relationship that begins under this influence will
    be an expression of this fact, and even old relationships will be changed
    so that they further your objectives. Opportunities for advancement in
    your work will come suddenly through relationships with your
    superiors.


    All of this sounds like luck, but this influence actually is showing you
    that your life can be much more free and that your potentials are
    greater than you have realized. We all have a natural tendency to settle
    into comfortable ruts, which can be severely limiting. But the energy of
    this influence acts suddenly, so that you are forced to sit up and take
    notice. The purpose of this influence is to tell you who you are. It is
    not giving you anything you haven't earned.


    The interpretation above is for your transit selected for today:
    Uranus Sextile Sun UranusSextileSun,
    activity period from middle of March 2007 until middle of February 2008.
