Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
This is a powerful day for conversation with partners, ex-partners, close friends, -- the works. You're very much in touch with your inner strength. When you speak others will listen. You're direct about what you want, probably because you know what you want! Great.


Real Life Report
Since my last post I have managed to bring another human into the world... So overall, yes - I am happy to say that I do indeed feel in touch with my inner strength. Now for that outer strength to kick in and get me through the next few months of exhaustion!

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Because this particular Full Moon can create tension between you and partners and close friends, take it easy today. All you have to do is get through until tomorrow. By tomorrow, people are reasonable, you are reasonable, everyone feels happier. Capice?



Real Life Report
I decided to celebrate the tension of the full moon with a pedicure down at the local nail shop. Now onto an ice cream date. This should get me through hopefully without too many bumps...

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Yikes! The only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place tomorrow. For sure, most of you can feel the buildup of tension within you happening today, especially in your relationships with partners and close friends. If not, consider yourself lucky! Stay frosty.


Real Life Report
If only I could feel more tension inside me! Off to the doc's today to see whassup with the offspring. In the meantime, plan on making eggplant parmesean to see if the recipe really does have encouraging effects...

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Today the Sun moves directly opposite your sign for the next month, possibly provoking mild conflict with partners and close friends. However, this placement of the Sun offers you a chance to get a more objective idea about your style of relating to others. This could be valuable to know!


Real Life Report
It's a nice rainy day, and I seem to have a fair amount of time to navel-gaze so yes, I could spend some contemplative time today getting objective. Besides - I should probably mix up my activities since I've been making stews and casseroles and crafts and cards non-stop for the past two weeks.

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
This is a nasty time for disputes with partners and close friends. Because of this nastiness, this is a silly time to have important discussions. They will only be unpleasant and accomplish nothing. Chill out. Wait for a better time.



Real Life Report
OK - new mantra... but it's pretty tough to be chillaxin' while wondering if every twinge is a 'sign.' In the meantime, I will keep my nastiness to myself. Om.

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Do not make important decisions today about your health or your job. You are one sign that can easily delude yourself. And today is the classic day for this to happen. Don't put yourself down. Don't let others put you down. And don't put anyone else down.








Real Life Report
I have decided to throw myself a living room dance party today in an effort to get this baby moving into the starting gate... Perhaps delusional, but a good time! (This will take place prior to the scheduled call with my mat. leave replacement who I sense is wondering what the hell she signed up for.)

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
This is an extremely poor day to have discussions about shared property or any other important issue with partners, ex-partners, and close friends. In fact, people are so critical, and negative thinking, and power-hungry -- you should avoid whatever looks like a fight coming on. Run away! Run away!


Real Life Report
Stinkin' thinkin! Thought the day is not yet over, I'm happy to report that all discussions have gone pretty smoothly. And we even had one of those ' talk about our future' stuff-talks.

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
You are definitely busy dealing with ex-partners and issues with ex-partners -- no question. This is because Mercury retrograde is taking place directly opposite your sign. It's been slowing down since Aug. 7. It goes retrograde on Aug. 20. It goes direct on Sept. 12. But you're not in the clear until Sept. 26th. Oy vey.


Real Life Report
I wonder what happens when one gives birth during Mercury retrograde...? Maybe that's why the kid hasn't 'dropped' yet. I'm blaming the universe for slowing everything down. Harumph!

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
For some reason, you're going to get some favourable PR today. Bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs, and possibly even the police notice you -- but in a very positive way. You impress people with your charm and your foresight. They think you're sensible and pleasant. (Take that to the bank!)


Real Life Report
At this point in the day I've only been sensible enough to have a nap, which in turn was rather pleasant. If I can ramp up to 'charming' then I'll be winning!

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Your appreciation of beauty is heightened today. Because of this, you might do something rather extravagant or unusual to explore new experiences or get a rush. It's probably okay because you definitely have your feet on the ground at this time. Issues with partners and close friends are coming to fruition in a good way. (Thankfully.)


Real Life Report
I'm going for a new experience/rush of the crafty sort... I'm going to try to design/create/build my own baby mobile. It may not be 'Baby Einstein' but let's just hope for 'Baby Calder.'

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Try to break from your daily routine, and do something different today. Go someplace you've never been to before. Talk to people from different backgrounds and other cultures. Travel if you can. In other words, spice up your day with fresh, untried experiences!


Real Life Report
Hmm - the 'Hot & Spicy Festival' is on at Harbourfront this weekend... And they say that spicy food can get babies moving. Interesting. But actually - in more boring news, I need to travel down to the mall to find a car seat.

PS - Big thanks to YM for the encouraging and sweet comment yesterday! XO

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
This is the year that can bring you the most opportunities to excel at what you do best since 1998. I get mail from Pisces people saying "Hey, my life isn't improving!" Well, all I can say is wait a bit longer. "Just you wait."








Real Life Report
I am in the waiting room of life right now, so I hear that, Georgia. (Plus - I do think that life IS improving! I can only hope that I excel at the mommy thing...)

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Relations with partners and close friends are much improved today! Entertain at home, or plan to go out with friends. Personal and professional partnerships are blessed. People are eager to socialize and demonstrate their sophisticated knowledge of all things beautiful. Romantic relationships might entertain commitment. (Perhaps with someone older?)

Real Life Report
By the end of today I expect to have fit in two visits... And that's just the beginning of the drop-by schedule for the next 5 or 6 days. After that - the 'Gone Fishin' sign is going up.

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Be tolerant and gentle with partners and close friends because everyone is having a tough day today (and you know whereof I speak). Be encouraged by the fact that the next few days are quite lovely. You just have to make it through today. No biggie. Especially if you can find a great shoe sale.


Real Life Report
I have no idea why it's feeling like a tough day before 10am, but Georgia sure is onto something. Now to find that 'big and wide' shoe sale...

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Because today's Moon is directly opposite your sign, you'll have to go more than half way when dealing with others. Actually, this is no big deal. Just be extra patient and tolerant. And keep in mind that in two weeks, others will go more than half way when dealing with you. Yes!






Real Life Report
Yesterday I found myself hyper-annoyed by the produce clerks in the grocery store who were just doing their jobs... So today I will try harder to channel tolerance and understanding - particularly around lettuce. And yes - I will hope that the kharma will come around in a couple of weeks when no doubt I will be a new-Mom mess.

Georgia Nichols:
Don't let others at work put you down today or make you feel less worthy. The truth is, when people do that to you, despite how they appear, they feel unworthy! (They cut off the heads of others just to feel taller.) Like - duh? (And then what are they going to do with all those heads?) Duh?

Real Life Report
I feel a little less worthy as a parent-to-be after finally having a closer look at our used car seat, only to find that it expired about 10 months ago... Like, duh indeed.

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Turn your thoughts to your job, your employment scene, and your health. What can you do to make improvements in these areas? Set aside 10 minutes and give this some thought. Write down your ideas. (I'd give my right arm too be ambidextrous.)









Real Life Report
I do have a new job as of today and it involves reporting to Mother Nature. I did in fact set aside at least 10 minutes thinking about my health and wondering if baby is getting ready and into the starting blocks soon. It will be a great improvement when I finally get to meet the little fart!

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Discussions with partners and close friends are serious today. This isn't lighthearted fluffy day for coochy-coo flirtations. However, it's a very productive day for practical, sensible discussions. Someone older might have good advice for you. Your approach to things is careful and orderly. "Measure twice, cut once."


Real Life Report
I decided to call my 80-something English Grandad today... And since my Nan (his wife) is pretty ill, it was a bittersweet call that did leave me with a heavy heart. Though he didn't get into advice, he did suggest that I visit soon. Sigh.

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Others are going to be generous with you during the next few months. Just accept what is offered and say thank you. (How else can others be generous?) meanwhile, back in the boudoir, romance is so willingly transcendant. (Oh my.)


Real Life Report
I am definitely open to the generous spirit... And have been on the receiving end of amazing largesse lately. (So thanks to all!)

Plus, boudoir-wise, I did just drop crazy money at a lingerie shop...

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Gifts, goodies, favours from others, and all kinds of perks can come your way during the next few months. This is a wonderful time for you to benefit from the resources and wealth of others. In addition, romance is very sweet, and dare we say transcending? (We did.)


Real Life Report
Baby booty bounty indeed! The work crew went out of their way to throw me a very cute little shower this afternoon. I definitely felt the love. (Plus, they kindly surprised me with the best gift of all - inviting my sweetheart/baby-daddy along.)

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Innovative, unusual solutions at home (or within your family) might have a long-term practical benefit for you today. This is the perfect day to think out of the box. Surprise company might also drop by. Your long-term plans at home or with the family might change in some way.


Real Life Report
My long-term family plans are bound to change... But my short-term plans involve eating wonderful lasagna left-overs tonight. But I really don't want to share with any surprise visitors (so please don't drop by.)

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
You might go overboard in some way with respect to partnerships today. This could be to your advantage or to your detriment. The main thing is to simply be aware that your judgment is a bit off, and you are inclined to skew things in one direction or the other. Guard against this.


Real Life Report
Not only is my judgment off, but so is my balance, my internal thermostat and my appetite. Oh - and my patience. But on the bright side I'm off to visit foodie friends for dinner and kick my swollen feet back and let my last short work week wash over me.

Today's 'Scope

Georgia Nichols:
Your relations with others, especially partners, is changing. You feel empowered and more positive about what is possible. Many of you are improving your appearance as well. With your sign, so much depends upon your ability to believe that something is possible for you. Once you believe -- the world is your oyster!





Real Life Report
If I could bottle the positive vibes that I am feeling today, I could be a very wealthy woman indeed... As for my appearance, I am convinced that my midriff is heading south.
