"The profoundest act of worship is to try to understand."
Oh, I recover quickly. It just keeps happening again. And again. And...you get the idea. :) But I am basically optimistic, otherwise I'd never get out of bed.
And I do have poor skin and nails, and the hair while exuberant (at the moment) is coarse and prone to be bristly when short. Rather like horsehair, in fact. Falling off horses I've managed to avoid by never getting on one (mostly due to lack of opportunity: I'd love to try). No hip problems as yet. Problems with being hip, of course, but I tend to ignore those.
There are people who will maintain that astrology can predict future events, that it dictates the courses of our lives and every aspect of our natures. Most of them are either selling something, or buying from someone who is selling something (Joan the Wad, anyone?). I'm more inclined to suspect that there are influences, maybe very weak ones, maybe sometimes stronger, and that our destiny is actually in our own hands--we can go with the flow or against it, and most of the time we don't even notice it, but sometimes, in small and unconsidered ways, it helps or hinders us.
And I could be wrong on that, being a pattern-picker myself.
