Emma gives up trying to play with those two and decides to get my attention instead.

This is a particularly good week for two types of people:  journalismists and infantrymen.

The former because of the enduring alignment of Mercury with Jupiter.  The second because of Mars entering Leo.  Back to that first part though, while the planets are great for those speaking troof for power, it’s also a generally good time for everyone else (ill wind and all that).  This is especially true in midweek when we get one of those big multiplanetary constructions that brings Venus along for the ride (the moon too) so that should be an excellent time for just about anything.  Sorry the reading is so brief, this week has been a wee bit busy.

Beans might not completely be in a playing mood, but Lily doesn’t care. [Editor’s note: we know this clip is audio-only. Website problems. Fingers crossed for successful upgrade Wednesday evening.]
