We Got Docudharma Horoscopes!

Yeah, I figure if all these other folks can go on and on about horoscopes, why can’t I?  I’m as psychic as the next guy!  And I know this because I’m psychic!

So here are your Docudharma  horoscopes, courtesy of Madame NPK.

Aires

Only the second day after the new moon, time of purification and emptiness, and you’re already raring to go fill everything up in a heartbeat!  Well, impetuous Aires, go right ahead, no one is going to stop you as they’re all too worn out eating at barbeques and otherwise engaged in Labor Day activities.  You’ll be the one to steal the march on everyone else and by the end of the day, if anyone tries to stop you, you’ll be gone like a cool breeze.

Taurus

Sure you are stubborn, why wouldn’t you be?  Isn’t the Earth herself awfully stubborn, hanging around as long as she has?  Consider it a virtue, I say.  Use this day to catch up on your sybaritic pleasures, long sensuous bath, a glass of wine, loving your lover or, if you are single, wooing a new lover with your not inconsiderable charms.  You’ll need this break because the week ahead will be chock full of adventure!

Geminii

You are so happy … no wait, you are so sad … no wait, you are happy … ah damned your dual nature!  Just when anyone thinks they’ve figured you out, you pull the old switcheroo and confuse them all.  Today is a day to express yourself and glory in your ability to jolt your friends and acquaintances out of their conventional thinking.

Cancer

If they ask you why you’re crying, cry louder.  Only you have the sensitivity to plumb the deep emotions others only dip their toes into and it’s their loss, sez I.  Let yourself dive as deeply as you wish today and don’t worry if others don’t understand that tears are not weakness but only the overflow of great emotional understanding.  You’ll feel refreshed later and ready for an exciting week ahead — romance is in your near future and you will be ready for it!

Leo

The royal Lion will roar!  Today is the perfect day to clear out any irritants in your life (hey!  Leave me alone!) and make way for the new.  You have been working hard on charting your own course of self expression and now it’s starting to pay off.  Don’t let anyone stand in the way of your confidence and there will be no limit to how far you’ll go this week.

Virgo

If you by chance are the owner of a blog, it would bode well for you to promote one of your admins. to Queen of the Universe.  Just sayin’.  I know you have the power.  As a matter of fact, you’ll find that your meticulous nature has finally borne rewards in your life and today will be a good day to look back on the past few years and see just how far you have come.  Success is shimmering on the horizon!

Libra

This will be a good month for Libras, as the autumn solstice nears with its perfect balance of light and dark, you will find yourself better able to navigate the challenges of your chosen path — not to mention that others will find you irresistable for love and friendship.  A cornucopia of delights await!

Scorpio

Some say you are secretive and devious, but you know they’re just jealous of your fantastic ability to penetrate the secrets of the universe with panache and style and instantly translate them into wonderful art or business or lovemaking that would make anyone melt!  Today is a good day for you to write or do other artistic projects, or cook a gourmet meal (or get someone else to cook one for you!).

Sagittarius

Whatever you do today, DON’T try to write fake horoscopes for a blog!  If you do, you’ll regret it!

Capricorn

Your earthy nature will be refreshed by conversation and conviviality today — the pleasures of society are high so have an extra glass of wine and enjoy.  Today will bring you the insights of the coming autumn season so don’t be surprised if you have some rare psychic flashes of the future to guide you on your next adventure.

Aquarius

You always hold the universe lightly in your mind and can extend your consciousness to the farthest reaches, which makes everyday chores kind of boring!  Allow yourself to take a break from the mundane and splash around in mysticism and visions, where you are most comfortable.  You’ll bring back treasures that will enchant you and those close to you for a long time to come.

Pisces

Pay attention to your dreams today and this coming week, they are trying to tell you something important.  Nuff said.

Please do not recommend the Open Thread.  Thenk yew.

  1. Seems some anarchists protesters caused a ruckus in St. Paul after attacking the Connecticut delegation:

    ST. PAUL, Minn. – Protesters attacked members of the Connecticut delegation near the site of the Republican National Convention Monday in a demonstration where more than a dozen people were arrested by police using pepper spray amid window-smashing, bottle-throwing and tire-slashing.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    It was a violent counterpoint to an otherwise peaceful anti-war march not far from the Xcel Energy Center convention site. Many protesters involved in the more violent protest were clad in black and identified themselves to reporters as anarchists. They wrought havoc by damaging property and setting at least one fire. Most of the trouble was in pockets of a neighborhood near downtown, several blocks from where the convention was taking place.

    Strange thing happened — I was doing my NOLA blog swing-through and was directed by Raymond at Minor Wisdom to a post by Athenae at First Draft.  I block quoted around half of what she said and then the post just vanished from the blog, perhaps was deleted.  So I don’t know how kosher it is to post this – but hopefully it’ll be ok and I won’t end up in blogger hoosegow — ’cause it’s just so good:

    This will, however, likely not deter in any way the continued characterization of anyone who dares be against this war as being in league somehow with the self-styled anarchists by the TV gasbags, who are going to conclude all on their own that we’re all dirty f’ing hippies, and don’t need any help at all.

    And in the futile hope that someone not entirely without power in the media establishment might occasionally swing by here, let me just say this: You cannot talk about the raging anger on the streets of St. Paul as though it arose in a vacuum, as though it has nothing to do with the fact that in the past four years the people we elected have ceased entirely to listen to us. You cannot talk about the thousands of people who’ve gathered to march without talking about how marching is their only option: We elected a new Congress and it rolled over, we called and wrote letters and sent money and sent stamps and sent threats and nothing, literally nothing, got through. Our president has enshrined into law the idea that he doesn’t have to give a damn what we say, and we’ve watched, appalled, as with the help of our press he’s been proven right. You cannot talk about this as if it’s just some unreasoning, temporary insanity spurred by the mere presence of Republicans.

  2. Oh. I am a Gemini by the way….

    It’s my world. Y’all just live in it.

    Does paying my bills constitute “stealing the march”?

  7. I’m an aquarian.

    You always hold the universe lightly in your mind and can extend your consciousness to the farthest reaches, which makes everyday chores kind of boring!

    And you probably knew I wasn’t going to try to write fake horoscopes?

    Now you’ve got me nervous.

    Just who are you really, anyway?

    And how do you know so much?

  10. Others don’t understand the tears..I cry louder!
