Star Struck Style

I told myself that I was going to behave and not buy anything during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. Well, I broke down and bought a Missoni T-shirt like the one in the photo I posted above. I couldn’t help myself. It was 30% off!

I’ve actually been pretty good with my money for the past couple of months. However, I just realized that Venus is about to enter my second house because this horoscope entitled “Lavish Tastes” just appeared on my “Astrodienst” auto-generated daily forecast:

“This influence can be financially either good or difficult, depending upon how you handle it. Financial opportunities may come up, but difficulties may arise from your tendency to be extravagant. Often your tastes will be more lavish than your budget can afford. You are especially susceptible to beautiful clothes, jewelry and art objects to beautify your home. This influence can be quite favorable to financial negotiations. You will be able to handle the relationships involved in any transactions to your benefit, for this influence always grants the ability to handle people. Investments made under this influence are usually quite advantageous, especially investments in art or objects of beauty. Again, be careful not to invest money that you need for everyday living.”

I don’t think that I have ever read a more threatening horoscope than this one! The line that scares me the most is the one that tells me that I am “especially susceptible to beautiful clothes . . .”.

I’m really going to have to keep my head down throughout December. I’m still worried that the gym where I work is going to be closed down due to the steadily increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the province where I live. I’m already trying to stay out of public places as much as possible, including the weight room at the gym, so maybe I can try to work on my physical beauty and double up my home workouts. Perhaps that will be the strategy that gets me through the next month without stacking up a bunch of bills. I can probably convince myself that the beautiful clothes I already own are enough, especially when I’m looking so buff.

This is going to be tough on me, but I’m going to try to keep it together. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: your thoughts and prayers are appreciated during this difficult time . . .
