J interacts with the symbols of the Tarot for their descriptive, not prescriptive power.
J knows that if you set a horse out to glut himself on lush pastures at this time of year, he could founder.
J witnesses the mismanagement of a dying cancer patient: the markers were lost, and consequently the radiation was applied proximally to wherever.
J smiles in the knowledge that her heart is fogging up a sealed jar somewhere on a proverbial shelf.
J prefers raw talk, but cannot withstand it long...a form of metaphysical cannibalism, she thinks.
J finally drew the dermatomes, now what?
Indoors, J hears the compulsive accountant next door, who hits a tennis ball as consistently as a metronome against his garage wall.
J listened to Jeff Buckley's cover of "Lilac Wine" as she mused that domestication is an aim at purposeful living.

Your birthdays will be different this year.
At my Solar return, I was bitter about the slow course of things and how I could not alter the circumstances in any way with my attitude. Today, I do not remember most of substrates of this discontent, so this is better.
Jupiter square Sun: A matter of self-control
Beginning of November 2015 until mid-July 2016: This can be an excellent time, but you must watch out for some pitfalls that could undo all the benefits. Basically this influence is a test of your discipline and self-restraint. If you are not a restrained person, you will react to this influence by going overboard in some way, overextending yourself or living in a fool's paradise where you think nothing can go wrong. Or you might squander a valuable resource, only to find on another day that you do not have enough of what you need. Sometimes there is a feeling that luck will provide everything that you need without any effort on your part, but this, too, is a false notion.
But this time can also provide a chance for real growth and expanded opportunities. It is a matter of how much control you have over yourself. You have to know precisely where you are and what your real needs are in order to take the most advantage of this time. You also have to know when you can't handle anything more. Knowing when to stop is the real trick.
Sometimes this influence encourages ego inflation and excessive pride. Be careful not to act in an overbearing manner, for you will set people in motion who will try to knock you down a peg or two. Here too, you must know where to stop.
Under certain conditions this influence can trigger conflict with the law or with someone else in a court of law. You may or may not lose, but don't act the role of outraged honor and dignity. Try to find out exactly what the problem is and arrive at a solution that is satisfactory to all.
Pluto conjunction Jupiter: Beyond personal glory
Mid-January 2016 until end of November 2017: This influence can denote that you will achieve great success in almost any endeavor, or it can mean that people in power will strongly oppose your efforts. It largely depends on what you are trying to accomplish and how.
Under this influence you will experience a rebirth of optimism and hope, which will put you in the proper frame of mind to succeed. Because you expect to succeed, you are likely to. This can apply to any aspect of your life, but it is most likely to be effective if you wish to succeed at something beyond personal glory. You may get your share of glory, but that should not be your primary motive. You should be working to achieve something that will benefit society at large through business, social work or some other means. This influence designates massive social regeneration and rebirth and aids most those persons and factors in society that work toward that end.
This influence can signify a rebirth of faith and spirit in your life, a new concern with how you fit into the universe as a whole. You may experience a rebirth of religious concern and a desire to lead others into the knowledge you have gained. Educating the masses to understand the metaphysics of the universe and how it applies to everyone would be one of the highest uses of this influence.
On the other hand, striving in a petty way to succeed at someone else's expense or without recognizing the larger needs of society may lead to trouble. This transit can lead to difficulties with the authorities who are appointed to look after society's needs, if they come to regard you as a threat. It is quite possible that even if you are working for a very noble cause, you may arouse opposition from the authorities. However it is likely that you will ultimately win out, if you are really working for a good cause. But if your point of view is limited to yourself, you will have trouble and failure.
April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
