I find the English (UK version) language hilarious

AG asked me an intelligent question, it's late here and I've just enjoyed a tipple or two of rather delicious whiskey. I'll get back to you when I feel sharper.

1724, that would be around the time of Jonathon Wild, dodgy character. Would make a good Guy Ritchie movie. Gay activities? Plenty, but you wouldn't want to be held up in court on a charge of the same, the penalties weren't very nice. Then, stealing a hankerchief didn't illicit a very nice penalty, either.

don`t be sad.

We may not pass IQ`s rule, but we definitely have a connection through the nodes.

Remember. Your NN conjuncts my SN!
and my ASC-Neptune-NN-Atlantis is on your SN.

Also, your ASC is exactly conjunct my Part of Reincarnation and my Draco Sun. So it`snot all lost yet.

Well then, we're definitely connected from the past!!! In fact, with those SN & NN connections I think we are destined to be tied throughout all of eternity

My IC is 14*23 (I share this exact degree with a S/O's Valentine!!!)

Your IC must be Virgo 11* (approx) which could be conjunct my:

Venus 15* 28
Pluto 14* 59
Uranus 13* 18

your IC is conjunct my Saturn with 2.5°, Can you say VERY karmic?

In Pluto Libra time, George II was on the throne in this part of the world, as far as monarchs go he isn't the most colourful we have to offer.

The movers and shakers of the more exciting part of the century, the Charles James Fox and Abraham Derby types, were born 20 years or so later.

I checked it out and so now I know that King George III has Pluto at 1* of Scorpio. His reign was long and oversaw some dramatic changes in English society. That's the time where we see men like Darby involved in the Industrial Revoloution, and Fox with radical politics.

But all is not lost. There are some almost exciting Pluto in Libra people, what about George Washington (1732)or Catherine the Great (1729)? Captain James Coo (1728)?

Artistic people include Thomas Gainsborough (1727), Oliver Goldsmith (1728) and Josiah Wedgewood (1730). Interesting given what has just happened to the Wedgewood company as Pluto enters Capricorn.....

I didn`t even notice that you hadn`t written your IC is in Cancer. But since your ASC is in Aries I assumed it.

BTW according to IQ`s rules, my soulmate probably is Richard Dean Anderson. lol

I just noticed that:
my ASC trine his Moon exactly
his ASC trine my Pluto
his DSC conjunct my NN

The interesting thing about it is, that his chart actually resembles the one of my father`s, BUT the most significant aspects, w hich are made through ASC and Moon are completely different.

Good work. You got me thinking about our revolution.

John Adams - October 30, 1735
Josiah Bartlett - November 21, 1729
Carter Braxton - September 16, 1736
Charles Carroll - September 19, 1737 (I was wrong about the generation ending in 1736)
Abraham Clark - February 15, 1725
William Ellery - December 22, 1727
William Floyd - December 17, 1734
Button Gwinnett - April 10, 1735
Benjamin Harrison V - April 5, 1726
Joseph Hewes - January 23, 1730
Francis Hopkinson - September 21, 1737
Samuel Huntington - July 16, 1731
Francis Lightfoot Lee - October 14, 1734
Richard Henry Lee - January 20, 1732
Thomas McKean - March 19, 1734

John Morton - Born in 1724 or 1725
Thomas Nelson, Jr. - December 26, 1738
Robert Treat Paine - March 11, 1731
George Read - September 18, 1733
Caesar Rodney - October 7, 1728
George Ross - May 10, 1730
Richard Stockton - October 1, 1730
William Whipple, Jr. - January 14, 1730
William Williams - April 23, 1731

So 29 of the 57 signers were born with Pluto in Libra.

Hancock's beautiful signature was not born of a Pluto in Libra native. He missed Pluto in Libra by less than a degree. Pluto went retro back into Libra that year.

When I got up this morning I couldn't find my glasses.; I must have dropped them when I got up in the middle of the night. So I had to put my contact lenses in first thing, not generally a good idea.

My kids want to do painting at 7am!

My landlady lives in London and has switched off her phone.

So I get on to the estate agents yesterday (who are not open on Saturdays! Joy!) who have a spare set but will not let me have all of them all at once. Company policy as it's their only set. You can kind of see why this is, but it was a complication that I did not foresee. They allow me to copy one of the keys. This is the key to my actual flat door.

The other of the "keys" is a little computerised fob that you press on to a round hole in the entrance lobby door and it makes an R2D2 noise and lets you in. I cannot get upstairs to my flat without this "key" to the lobby. I need to buy a blank and then get it configured to the computer system in my apartment block. Righto.

So.

Q: Where can one find a replacement blank fob?
A: Nowhere in the known universe. Well, I did find one yesterday (had to take a whole day off work to get it as it was two bus journeys away and cost £17. £17! And I need two of the ******** ).

Q: If one were to find a replacement how can it be configured to let you in to your house?
A: Well, there is only one man on the planet who can do this and this man works only on Wednesday mornings. So I have to wait until tomorrow.

I'm still in the pub clothes I was in on Friday. I did the Walk of Shame into work today wearing a little jacket and skirt. Not work clobber. It was either that or a boiler suit borrowed from Pisces. I have been wearing my contact lenses permanently since Friday and look like a bit of a **** .

However, am in good spirits as have had 4 days with bloke as I threw myself on his mercy and who has been just lush, despite jokes all weekend that the only thing keeping me from the workhouse was my ability to give good *******s. hahahaha

Life's random and sweet today.
