IFLA: The “Three Good Things” Edition of the Horoscope for the Week of January 22

by | Jan 22, 2023 | IFLA | 58 comments

Lily and Barkley. Barkley’s owner doesn’t really approve of Barkley getting all worked up, but Barkley would rather play than obey.

The week starts off with a “nonspecific moderately good indicator,” but the real star of the week is on the 25th.  On that day, the focus is on Jupiter, a classically benevolent sign, but one that isn’t necessarily the most libertarian-friendly.  In any case, the sign of happiness, fun and rulership (it’s good to be the king!) has got four other planets feeding him this week (and Lord know, Jupiter is big enough already) two of which deal with luck. So that’s a good day.  Lily’s birthday sees the moon and Mars bringing disorder and destruction to the home or in other words, a day ending in -y.  I’m assuming she’s going to decapitate her last woobie that day and scatter the stuffing about.

Lily and Echo

Aquarius: 8 of Swords – Bad news, violent chagrin, crisis, censure, power in trammels, conflict, calumny, sickness.

Pisces: Ace of Coins reversed – The evil side of wealth, bad intelligence.

Aries: Eight of Coins – Work, employment, commission, craftsmanship, skill in craft and business.

Taurus: Judgement reversed- Weakness, pusillanimity, simplicity, deliberation, decision, sentence.

Gemini: 6 of Coins – Presents, gifts, gratification, attention, vigilance.

Cancer: 5 of Cups – Loss, but something remains, inheritance, patrimony, transmission, but not corresponding to expectations.

Leo: The Moon – -Hidden enemies, danger, calumny, darkness, terror, deception, occult forces, error.

Virgo: Queen of Cups – Success, happiness, pleasure, wisdom, virtue; a perfect spouse.

Libra: 2 of Swords – Conformity, balance, courage, friendship.

Scorpio: The Magician – Skill, diplomacy, address, subtlety, sickness, pain, loss, disaster, snares of enemies, self-confidence, will.

Sagittarius: King of Cups – Man of business, law, or divinity; responsible; also equity, art and science.

Capricorn: 8 of Cups reversed – Great joy, happiness, feasting.

Don’t you just hate it when you’re playing with an Irish terrier, and a Cane Corso comes along and steals them from you?

    Work, employment, commission, craftsmanship, skill in craft and business.

    That’s two decent ones in a row, IIRC. Now I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop

    • Penguin

      I think he dropped it on the other side of the COSMOS:

      The Moon – -Hidden enemies, danger, calumny, darkness, terror, deception, occult forces, error.

    • rhywun

      Sounds pretty neutral to me. Why yes, I am working this week. I guess that’s better than the alternative. 🙂

  2. MikeS

    Pisces: Ace of Coins reversed – The evil side of wealth, bad intelligence.

    Well shit. Last week’s came true. I hope that was a one-off.

  3. Tundra

    Happy birthday, Lily!

    And that Echo is a beauty, too!

    Leo: The Moon – -Hidden enemies, danger, calumny, darkness, terror, deception, occult forces, error.

  4. Mojeaux

    Taurus: Judgement reversed – Weakness, pusillanimity, simplicity, deliberation, decision, sentence.

    I’m not sure how to take that comprehensive contradiction. I’m failing to pull the trigger on buying my voucher for the medical coding test because a) it’s a lot of money and b) I don’t know if I can pass it. There’s that. As for decision, I’m changing medical transcription companies this month, for one that pays much better.

    • MikeS

      for one that pays much better.

      👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

      • Penguin

        Ooh! *Claps*

      • Tundra

        Lol. I thought the same thing!

      • Penguin

        (Claps for Mojeaux), a bit less for Mike.

      • MikeS

        🧐

      • Penguin

        Indubitably, my good man!

    • R.J.

      Can’t you take practice tests prior to the big event to ease your nerves?

  5. Scruffyy Nerfherder

    Capricorn: 8 of Cups reversed – Great joy, happiness, feasting

    Well, I probably will close the 2022 books this week. There will be great joy in that.

      Local shop has been passing off t bones as porterhouses lately. Sadly, I don’t think it’s deliberate.

      • Mojeaux

        Longhorn was passing off sirloins and strips as ribeyes. Happened twice. I just refuse to go there now.

      • Sean

        Steak crimes.

      • Sean

        The ones in the case were men looking. I had the butcher cut those for me.

        He likes them cut, at that.

      That’s the make of the protection? Sig?

      does the handle of the gun get damaged when you grill it?

      • Sean

        Wrap it in foil.

  9. Timeloose

    I’m making a trio of different chicken thighs for consumption during the week and reducing last night’s sausage and pepper leftovers for pasta tomorrow.

    Asian, Mexican, and Italian chicken.

      Kelly Slater FTW

    • Nephilium

      The girlfriend thanks you for the link.

      I now have to listen to her cheering people on behind me.

      • Brochettaward

        I’d imagine it’s a similar reaction every time she looks over your shoulder to read one of my Firsts.

      • Tundra

        🤣

    • Raven Nation

      I know the angles are different, but the waves don’t seem to be as big as the ones from 2016. Still amazing though!

  12. Tonio

    “Hidden enemies, danger, calumny, darkness, terror, deception, occult forces, error.”

    Yep.

    • R.J.

      Isn’t that every week?

  13. Yusef drives a Kia

    “Virgo: Queen of Cups – Success, happiness, pleasure, wisdom, virtue; a perfect spouse.”
    Sounds too perfect…

  14. Nephilium

    Not Adahn: Saw your comment about being between CLE and C-Bus in June, if things line up, I’ll be down near C-Bus that weekend for Punk in Drublic. The girlfriend has other plans that weekend, so that’s the rub for going to the fest (not sure I want to go solo). Figure you’re planning just a through CLE, but feel free to reach out to me at my handle at the Goog’s e-mail.

    • R C Dean

      “that’s the rub for going to the fest (not sure I want to go solo)”

      Errr . . . .

    • Not Adahn

      I’ll have the most free time on the last day. I’m in the state to work the USPSA Carry Optics Nationals,

  15. R C Dean

    That Cane Corso looks . . . Unstoppable.

  16. Not Adahn

    An excellent day so far! Delicious breakfast, vast amounts of coffee, much playing with Lily (who is in Prime Fluff with this weather) and wreaked much havoc with the shotgun at Winter Steel.

    Lily wants to play more, gotta go.
