I lucked out. Since I was in Cairo, I bought all these genuine leather purses - really well mad - for next to nothing. Like $15. I was so happy.

I got some beautiful purses from Jordan, when my sister came back to the states. Its actually the one I use now...real leather, gorgeous...but Its starting to show its age. I wish I could get one from there.

The only person I've met is someone who I am kind of spending time with for fun right now, 'til I move in another 2 months. So, I'm hoping something serious, sometime. Maybe for my next SR to look at lol.
Yeah, this place has been a major hub for me, I've learned a ton. I don't think I'd be able to handle all the waiting and patience without LL as an outlet to meet others and learn so much.

A Full Moon in your Solar Return chart marks this as a year of great personal significance, when major new beginnings, endings, and activities occur. This period is the culmination of a stage of personal growth and development. Events at this time may bring to a head various developments in your emotional, psychological, or spiritual life over the past several years. There can be increased activity in your professional and public life, causing a conflict with your domestic and personal goals. There is little moderation in your life this year. Connections are made or ended; or your job focus may change as one focus fades to make way for a new direction. The year ahead is certain to be a very busy, dynamic, and significant period in your life.

In your Solar Return chart this year, Mercury, Venus, and Mars align in the relationship-oriented sign of Libra. You have excellent aptitude for understanding the arts, and you are talented in artistic areas as well. This year, you could enjoy making things that are beautiful, and you succeed in areas that require an aesthetic sense as well as technical ability. The need or desire to talk about relationship dynamics is powerful this year. Acquaintances may become intimate. You may be involved in frequent lectures, debates, and discussions during the year. You can convey your ideas more powerfully during this period of your life. You are quick to take the initiative and to put your thoughts into action. Adventuresome travel may be part of the picture. You may be more actively involved with young people. Strong sexual feelings and romantic passions are stimulated, and the urge to be in love is compelling. If you are not currently in a relationship, you are likely to be bold and to make the first move toward someone you are attracted to.

Mercury, Venus, and Mars also form harmonious aspects to Chiron and the Moon's Nodes, indicating the forming of new connections and relationships that enhance your spiritual growth. Your popularity increases and efforts to smooth over challenges in partnerships are more likely to succeed. This is an excellent influence for negotiations, marriage, and business partnerships. You are likely to be actively involved with teamwork and collaboration with others this year. This influence also indicates general ease in satisfying one's desires through positive connections with others.

This is an excellent period in your life for opening up communications with others, as you are more sensitive than usual and more willing to listen. Getting your point across is easier, as it's not only about what specific words you choose to communicate, you intuitively express the meaning and intention behind the words. You can effectively use words to soothe, heal, and teach this year. You are also more open to new ways of looking at problems, thus it's considerably easier to find solutions. You'll also have the chance to heal old wounds with regards to love this year, and you're bound to find new ways of making money.

With Jupiter in harmony to Saturn at the time of your birthday this year, a period of constructive accomplishment is ahead. In general, you are practical, realistic, and your judgment is especially sound--and you derive much satisfaction from your work. The key to harnessing this wonderful energy is to identify and find pleasure in the simple things that make you happy. A nice balance between optimism and practicality is with you this year.

However, Uranus opposes your Sun, and unexpected changes in plans or events can test your patience. On the other hand, they could stimulate you to try new approaches and they certainly act to cut boredom! This influence could offer you the drive to do something new, but avoid making hasty major decisions for the time being. Your creativity is stimulated this year, but so is your excitability and your need for freedom. You are likely to be more outspoken than usual, perhaps even rebellious.

An extremely busy, productive, and pivotal year ahead is in store! Figuring strongly this year are new developments in--and new attitudes towards--love matters, finances, and social relationships. Your creative and love urges are powerful indeed. New friendships, or new spins on established connections, are in your forecast. New ideas and projects abound! Focusing will be the key to success. You are taking on new responsibilities, but generally enjoying the challenges.
