If you take a single step toward positive change, that divine energy will take a hundred steps toward you. New worlds and unbelievable possibilities will open up for you. The synchronicities that will begin appearing in your life will become a source of delight and amazement. Peace Is The First Thing The Angels Sang. AS I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY I ALSO DEVELOP  MY STRENGTH. Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realizing you were the prisoner!

++You can appreciate a practical joke as much as anyone, but today all of the goofing around may drive you crazy. Your focus is squarely on making progress and getting things done, but everyone else around you might be more concerned with the latest celebrity gossip and fashion trends. If you can separate yourself from this group, then do -- it will help you preserve whatever personal relationships you have built with them. But if you can't, try to keep the time you are with them to a minimum.  Strange forces are often on the prowl close to the two times each year when the comet-like body Chiron pauses in the zodiac. Right now we find Chiron at 17 Aquarius and by 9:45PM PDT it will shift from reverse to forward. Pallas stays in direct motion until May 30, 2009 when it will make another move into reverse at 27 degrees of Aquarius. Realistically, it is motionless and has been without any speed for the last few days and won't be going anywhere for the next few days. This can create an unusual occurrence in all of our lives -- a kind of time warp where everyone is thrown out of their normal rhythms and cycles. Circumstances beyond your control are temporarily in the catbird seat. It's a good time for spiritual studies, meditation and tuning into your philosophy of life. Maverick, eccentric and out-of-the-box energies take charge. Think more about your higher destiny on Spaceship Earth and how you can be of greater service to the community in which you live and the global network of Aquarian Age principles. Meanwhile, some emotional tensions can be palpable as Mars clashes with Pluto via an abrasive, 45-degree link (9:23AM PDT). Fortunately, an uplifting Venus-Jupiter parallel (10:37AM PDT) comes to your rescue -- neutralizing any discord brought up by the Mars-Pluto encounter. Later on, your consciousness can expand along new and hopeful lines when the Moon in Virgo forms a flowing trine to Jupiter in Capricorn (5:34PM PDT). Hit the books tonight and learn from revered mentors when the Moon makes its monthly union with beautifully ringed Saturn (9:27PM PDT). If you feel more like a hermit than a social go-getter, that's par for the course when Saturn pulls strings for several hours. Beware of a certain friend who seems too good to be true. Use your instincts to determine whether this person is truly a companion or someone who is using you. You may be disappointed in the results. Seek solace in someone who is truly a companion and you'll be thankful for true friends.

 I sent the email and faxed the documentation as soon as I got to work. Pretty early Tom came up and was pissed off because I had designated the grass as rye and didn’t try to run something past them. We had a staring match built I think he got the message I am not about top lie to make a couple of pennies for Alan Cleaver – to hell with it. I had one truck and left at twelve thirty. I guess they are moving the trailer in tomorrow and then begin to set it up. They have a new mailbox for god’s sake. I got my birth certificate and went to DMV. I had a little trouble with the eye test and then they had to take my picture five or six times before they were satisfied. I took the car by the Ford Garage and it would be about a thousand dollars to get it fixed up. I settled to get the lens replaced and that should be under seventy-five and scheduled for tomorrow. I got a card for Mikey- stopped for a pie and a Subway. I called Mikey and he was doing math. I asked him about last night and he said he was out playing games. He said that his motorcycle had a flat tire. That is a pain in the ass.  He sounded okay so I guess all is well.
