I think each one of those attributes just sum me up nicely, LOL. On another note Steve, what's going on in the heavens that's provoking these strikes. Is there any sign to an end?

Well, I was surrouded by a peaceful gentle energy today-housework, and also arranged for some painting to be done-earthy influences I suppose caused by the Full Moon in Taurus...and what a full moon, very bright in a cloudless sky sending rays of light onto the road in front of my house- a sure sign to me that winters on its way... On a different note- I have an elderberry tree in my garden- I love it-(the neighbours don't) there is something mysterious and almost wise looking about it,I like to stand as near as I can to it sometimes-it makes me feel better... It is home every year to a wren, robins, and yet I read that it is bad luck to have an elder in the garden, but I thought it was meant to protect hearth and home.....Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Speaking of looking at forecasts for sun signs, what of ascendant astrology? Many say that one should look at forecasts for both for a more balanced view. I've not seen adequately explained what the differences might be/how helpful one is versus the other etc. Please to be helping, Mr Steve?
