Pluto goes retrograde in Capricorn

Enter the dark side (insert maniacal laugh).

My afternoon in one of the most bizarro places on earth, The Holy Land, a religious theme "experience" in the outskirts of Orlando.... Some of you might have seen it in Religulous (click this link to watch the film), where Bill Maher interviews Jesus (click this link to read about the film) -- and it's no joke, this is the land of 10,000 Jesus...

Pluto goes retrograde in Capricorn

When death goes bad...

In the shadow of bad feng shui, I live down the street from a funeral parlor and often times I am awoken WAY earlier than I wish by a crazy cacophony of something else....Now, I get it's a Chinese tradition to have a band playing to help scare demons away, but this one is scaring the living too — and how the deceased isn't confused in its newly spirited state from this too, god only knows???...So, question of the day, does this band SUCK or is it just me? My case...

What I woke to?

...another Chinese funeral band...


....a more traditional one...


NOW, SERIOUSLY, AM I WRONG?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't I learn that already?

When it comes to the planet of death mixing with the sign of structure, then it hitting the retrograde button, that means you hold on tight because if you don't know who you are and what you want, you could be in for some major turbulence. As it goes, people and situations will come out of the woodwork to trip you up, and you’ll have to fight your demons to rise above. While this will seem like a nearly impossible feat, since we are only human, keeping the eye on the prize is all you can do. Strive, succeed as much as you can and deal.

While certain days will be an upward battle that goes nowhere, or crashes you down harder than the day before, leaving you wondering why you even try and all you want to do is sooth yourself with whichever vice works quickest, all that is ever left is having to start again in some shape or fashion… Perhaps the roads you are trying really aren't for you or that you just went at it the wrong way… No matter, you have to keep moving ahead, because time is inevitable and if you try to sidestep it, it’ll always be the hardest route to go. It sucks. It’s rough and it’s thankless most of the time, but ahhhh, when things do line up perfectly and make you feel that god-like ecstasy, those are the moments you hold onto.
