The New Year ~ Wish Upon a Shooting Star

The year, 2012... it's here, my darling and daring Beautiful Big Cats... may you live your highest desires and destiny this year.

Very warm and very windy on the tame prairie today... given some of the health issues the Kougaress has dealt with she wasn't that certain she'd make it to 2012... however, her health has gradually improved, and she's planning an all-out writing campaign for this year.
~~~~~~

The New Year ~ Wish Upon a Shooting Star... early this evening when the Kougaress was sky gazing, and admiring the planet Venus, she glimpsed a shooting star... or what she thought was a shooting star... it was a bright white orb arcing low in the sky for a few seconds... however, what a perfect moment to wish upon a shooting star... the wish: may miracles abound for all of us.

A Fine Thorny Mess
by Solara

Thornson Throckmorton raised his hand ready to smack the side of his hospital bed. TT, or Thorny as his off kilter pard called him, cursed under his breath. Of all the dumb lame assed things to happen, he wished he had listened to his gut better than he did.

He tugged at the sheet covering him trying to get more of his lower half covered. Too Toxic and a giggle ran through his mind. Crap one of his fellow felines decided to make contact. How lovely! The weekend of his high school class reunion and he laid here in this blasted bed with his little bits as Nana called them hanging out catching every draft that wafted under the sheet. Fucking hospital gowns didn’t cover much and with his six-foot-two torso, even extra-large didn’t come close either. And his junior year nickname called out by his former soccer teammates. . .Too Toxic was another lifetime ago. One of his nine lives he preferred to not remember.

Your January 2012 Forecast is Here!

Welcome to a brand new year! You'll be happy to know that the stars are coming together to help January kick off 2012 with plenty of beneficial transits!

That said, there will be a couple bumps along the way, with the first one occurring on January 1 as Mercury squares off against Mars. Some rather harsh truths may be voiced, but this will only help clear the air for a fresh start. Simply say what needs to be said, hear what needs to be heard and move on.

Then, on January 8, Mercury leaves Sagittarius to join the Sun in Capricorn, boosting the latter sign's ambitious, confident and down-to-earth influence. And as if on cue, the full Moon in Cancer on January 9 restores balance, reminding you that emotions are just as important as ambition.

January 13 sees the Sun and Mars keeping idle hands busy -- which in turn provides an opportunity for Venus to steal the stage! On January 14, Venus leaves Aquarius and enters Pisces, making you more cautious about opening up to people, but also enhancing your romance with that special someone. Jupiter then makes a social appearance with Venus the next day, so grab your friends and do something fun on January 15!

Another small bump occurs on January 19, when the Sun squares Saturn on its final day in Capricorn. Delays and setbacks may occur, but you'll also overcome obstacles and correct mistakes. Then on January 20, the Sun moves out of Capricorn and into humanitarian, friendly and knowledgeable Aquarius. Sure, you may feel the need to upset the status quo a bit, but this will also lighten your mood while bringing about stimulating conversations, networking opportunities and leisurely activities. Adding to the pleasantries of that day, Venus and Pluto form a sexy connection, making January 20 another great time to hit the town with friends -- or to cozy up with your significant other!

The month ends with a couple mellow ups and downs. On January 22, the Sun tips its hat to Uranus and Jupiter, leaving you in a fairly benign, albeit lazy, mood. January 24 sees Mars turn retrograde in Virgo until mid-April, a transit that frustratingly signals more work with less results. However, January 27 finishes off the month with a sprightly tone as sharp-witted Mercury moves into provocative Aquarius.

All in all, 2012 should be off to a terrific cosmic start!

Moon Conjuncts Uranus in Aries: Out with a Bang

This year is not about to end on a soft and gentle note. With the bombastic influence of today’s Aries Moon conjoined with anything-goes Uranus, cosmic forces are erratic, risky and restless. Accidental-prone behavior runs rampant under this influence, so by all means -- party responsibly tonight! Designated drivers are a must, and proceeding into 2012 with awareness and necessary caution is strongly suggested.
