...a gentler, dreamier romance...

The Kougaress in another gentler, dreamier lifetime...

Late night meows, my prancing-dancing Hep Cats... a mild-weather day on the tame prairie today... okay, this Big Cat is reeling from a news article she heard about... if interested, see BIG CAT SNARK AND SNARL below.

...a gentler, dreamier romance... with Neptune moving into the water sign of Pisces on February 3rd, as is suggested in the astrological forecast below, this could be a gentler, dreamier time that will be reflected in how we choose to live our lives... in the world of romance writing and reading, there is likely to be a resurgence of the gentler, dreamier type of romance novel... along with this resurgence, a whole new innovative way of writing these romances will come about... this will not necessarily replace any of the current hot trends, but rather become one of the strong trends. It will be fascinating to observe how this plays out.

Neptune Moves Into Pisces!

With Venus and Mars partnering up on the first day of the month to add passion and romance to your life, February is certainly off to an enthusiastic start!

Of course, this transit will require some deft balancing work, as romantic and affectionate Venus stands opposite the cosmos from dynamic, energetic Mars. Fortunately with these planets, if you don't get the equilibrium quite right, you'll still have a pretty good day. But if you can temper Mars's exuberance with Venus's gentle touch -- and vice versa -- you'll enjoy a phenomenal day!

The real excitement, though, arrives two days later on February 3, when Neptune takes a giant step into Pisces - where it will remain until 2025. Aside from a brief stint last year, this is the first time since 1848 that Pisces has hosted its ruling planet. Neptune is one of the slow-moving outer planets, and whenever one of these powerhouses changes signs, it represents the start of a new era. And when a planet moves into its own sign, this influence becomes even stronger.

In the case of Neptune in Pisces, you'll experience a surge of creativity, especially in the realms of poetry and music, as well as a renewed interest in spirituality and exploration. You'll feel a strong urge to follow your dreams and turn your idealistic visions into reality ... though you may lack the necessary energy at times. Ultimately, Neptune's greatest strength may be in softening the blow of some of the harder-edged planets currently holding sway -- this is a planet known for bringing everything into a gentler, dreamier focus.

Naturally, no dream could be complete without a bit of romance, right?

Correction about google: they don't sell your info, they sell to advertisers that request to have their ads popped up on the sites you visit... or, they sell 'you' to advertisers. For example if you use gmail and email a friend about going to Vegas, then likely you will see ads geared toward visiting Vegas. Because, yes, google auto-reads all gmail accounts.

Big Cat by-the-numbers ~

1:11 am... 3:33 pm... 10:10 pm... 11:33 pm... 12:12 am... in one of it's most criminally insane moves to date, the FDA has declared that your body is now a drug because it produces stem cells, and that THEY now have the right to regulate your personal body.

BIG CAT SNARK AND SNARL ~

[Suggest pretending this is written in the kind of fine print that requires a high-powered magnifying glass.]

Why, yes, friends, your body is a drug. It not only is a drug but produces a whole bounty of drugs besides those prized stem cells. As such we will now regulate your body. You will be told what to eat and drink, when to eat and drink, and how much to eat and drink. If we require you to starve or to perish from lack of water, you will comply. Food additives such as aspartame, and genetically modified foods are no longer your concern. As a drug your body can and will be manipulated by whatever standards we decide upon, and continue to implement solely at our discretion. Furthermore, you will be subject to every big pharma medication regardless of any safety trials. We will be the sole determiners of what is safe and what is not safe. Of course, you will be subject to any and all vaccines, most of them made in China. Refusal will not be an option. You will also be required to ingest and/or be injected with any chemical, chimera-genetic laboratory brew and/or synthetic substance we deem advisable, necessary, or any manner of substance we choose to regulate your personal body with. To whit, this may be accomplished by any delivery method currently available, or available in the future. Be aware, since your body is a drug, this means you could be held indefinitely in any facility we designate, and be forced to endure torturous tests and every means of invasive surgical recovery if or when we decide your body's unique drug is one we want to harvest. We reserve the right to utilize your body, and the drugs thereof, for any nefarious purpose we deem in the national/corporate interest. The death of your body may be the result, and in no way are we to be held responsible. Since you are recognized only as a body, and your body is a drug, you will now have no so-called inalienable rights as described in the constitution and bill of rights. These documents are now considered to be null and void. Also, the death of your FDA-regulated body is considered to be a viable option in the harvesting of any and all drugs from your body. Of further note: whenever we choose to do bio warfare tests, should you survive, we will be harvesting any all said drugs from your body as has already been outlined. We may also use your body, alive or dead, as an infectious agent against any enemy combatant, foreign or domestic. Let it further be stated, that should you require the use of any drug produced by your body in regards to your medical treatments and/or procedures, you will bear any and all associated costs, and will not be allowed to contest the pricing of this pharmaceutical drug treatment. Of further interest: Should your body be declared an illegal drug, all drug enforcement agencies will be notified immediately. We will, of course, provide your global dossier as requested by any all law enforcement agencies. Be it of note: This will mean any properties owned by you, your monies, and any inheritance of value will be immediately seized by the proper authorities.

Be it heretofore known, that as FDA officials and employees, we have deemed our own bodies not to be a drug, and therefore we are not subject to detainment, experimentation or any of the related regulations, codes and laws currently in affect now, and in the future. Should there be any legal argument presented against this position, it is clear that because our bodies are deemed not to be a drug, we are, thus, above the law.

At any given time, this statement may be added to or subtracted from, in accordance with FDA regulatory powers and whims.

FDA's New Claim: "Your Body Is a Drug-and We Have the Authority to Regulate It!"

ANH - In another outrageous power-grab, FDA says your own stem cells are drugs-and stem cell therapy is interstate commerce because it affects the bottom line of FDA-approved drugs in other states! We wish this were a joke, but it's the US Food and Drug Administration's latest claim in its battle with a Colorado clinic over its Regenexx-SD™ procedure, a non-surgical treatment for people suffering from moderate to severe joint or bone pain using adult stem cells.
