10:41 PM 3/27/2017 Well, damn.  I missed “The Tempest”.  I got all the way down there and it was sold out.  I walked home feeling a little gloomy.  However, I got my Sirius Black wand in the mail today.  At first I thought it was a nice synchronicity to get it on the same day I was seeing a play about a magician, but after it didn’t work out I thought that it was more appropriate for the character of Sirius that I brood on darkness instead.  Speaking of which I am still listening to Motorhead all the time.  The solidity of Lemmy’s approach to music, which I think is related to his Mars conjunct Saturn, is providing me with a sense of boundaries and also helping me stay focused on the passage of time.  It’s very healing.

Christopher Plummer’s “Tempest” with the Stratford Festival is on Google Play so I’ll watch it after I watch the Season 3 finale of Buffy this week. 

Only a couple of minor Buffynicities tonight, as I cut my run short in order to make the trek down to the Music Box.  Tonight was Buffy’s senior prom and they gave her a golden umbrella.  This was cool because I’ve always seen Genny as the Morton Salt girl, with the yellow umbrella.  But that’s minor.  The real one was that today I broke down and decided to buy the Buffy soundtrack CD on Ebay so I could have the theme music.  When I checked the track listing I noticed that there was a version of “Wild Horses”, the Rolling Stones song.  It just so happened that tonight was Buffy’s senior prom and the climactic sequence had “Wild Horses” as the soundtrack, so that was indeed a full Buffynicity. 

Another synchronicity was that I mentioned “Tomb Raider” on my blog recently, yesterday I think, and today on my twitter feed were some new pictures from a new version of that franchise that’s coming out.

But that’s it.  Meanwhile, as far as aspects, today did work out pretty well.  I am getting more focused, taking care of business better.  The Moon moving into Aries was a relief.  I just have to make it over the Taurus/Gemini hump and I can get back to feeling good about life.  It’s amazing how regular the effect of the moon signs is on my life.  As Mars sextiled Neptune I actually found it difficult to think.  I was very excited and felt very energetic but I really couldn’t come up with any kind of mental response to what was happening.  It was like I just had to wait through it.  I found that very odd, as Neptune aspects usually bring a lot of insight.  I was on lunch when the Moon conjuncted Venus, I think I was taking a nap.  I had worked relatively hard all afternoon and I was feeling very scattered.

The new Moon was just an hour ago.  It was an interesting evening.  I felt pretty good on the drive home, and then I rushed to have a short run because I am really excited about losing weight.  I found a couple more shirts this morning that I’ve never been able to fit into – I bought them and then stashed them away, and now at last I can wear them.  When I got home I found my Sirius Black wand waiting for me.  I bought it weeks ago on impulse from an Ebay store out of China.  The expected date was some time between March 24 and early May so I thought it was awesome that it came on the day I was going to see “The Tempest”.  I was very excited on my way down, but then I found the show was sold out.  I could have gone to see “Blade Runner” but I didn’t. Instead I turned around and on the way home I felt very dark, brooding about my evil family just like Sirius must have done.  Then when I got home I dug through my closets and found a ton of old clothes.  I fit into a pair of pants I used to wear back in 2003.  They were a little tight but in a few weeks I’ll be able to wear them comfortably.  It’s amazing all the shirts I had that I’ve forgotten.  I still have a shirt by Z. Cavaricci that I bought back in 1991 when I first went to Southern Illinois University.  So this is fuckin’ awesome. 

I also did a lot of cleaning and organizing and now I’m off to bed, ready for the new lunar cycle, looking forward to the dreaming circle on Sunday and the beginning of John’s intensive next week.  Also I’m going to see Blade Runner and Tempest, and wind up season 3 of Buffy.

In terms of aspects, not much is going on during the workday.  I’ll be grocery shopping when the Moon squares Pluto.  I’m noticing that I think a lot about pop culture while I’m shopping and I wonder what insights I’ll get.  Moon conjuncting Uranus in the evening, probably while I’m watching Buffy, might be wild. 

I’m looking forward to Venus and Mercury changing signs.
