It’s now almost the end of February – anyone else delighted? Don’t all shout YES as once – and as I celebrate the return of vibrantly fresh daffodils to our local Botanic Gardens, I can detect an improvement in my very grumpy, ‘blanket over the head’ mood of recent weeks. So – I thought I’d continue with my ‘cheering up my readers’ mission ( thanks for your response to my ’20 Questions and a Selfie’ post: the bacon sandwich writer’s bribery tip got a lot of you going!) by sharing my favourite astrology cartoon. It’s a reminder to us all, astrologers or not, that we should not take ourselves TOO seriously…
With apologies to Scorpios…
This lugubrious chap clutching a newspaper is staring at his television which is saying: ”The practice of astrology took a major step toward achieving credibility today when, as predicted, everyone born under the sign of Scorpio was run over by an egg lorry”.
Now, before any thin-skinned Scorpios leave me annoyed comments, I hasten to add that you are free to assign any sign you like to the above unfortunate fate. I’m a Leo…the egg lorry awaits…

Here is a tipping of a hat to anyone who is a Big Cat. (Though mine are all 11th house, making me a bit of an Aquarius in Leo clothing, or is it vice vesa?)

Well, I am married to an Aquarian, so Aquarians are quite safe from the egg lorry!

Too bad that we are not likely to meet face to face or at least via Skype. We could have a LONG chat about such things. (I do not wish to give out TOO much personal info on the open ‘net.) For a supposed “Leo,” my chart is so very Aquarian that it is a bit mind-boggling. (Maybe this has something to do with why you and I connect so well?)

Would not be surprised, GT! Also, I am very Uranian…

Maybe a Skype one day. Would love to visit UK some day, though some of the constraints might be tough for me. (I am a nearly lifelong big fan of pocket knives, and I hear those are a no-no in the UK now.)

Sorry, missed this comment! Well, if only the Sun is in Leo and lots of other angles/Planets/Nodes/asteroids are in Aquarius, then you have the best of two equally wonderful worlds….( note self-effacing modesty here…) I have always got on well with Aquarians, including my husband who has two Aquarian planets. I am not given much to emerging from behind the 12th House sofa these days ( 5 or 6 12th House planets here) – prefer just to send out my writing.

…by the way, that wouldn’t happen to be a Chocolate Easter Egg lorry, would it?

First, I had to figure out what an egg lorry might be. Now that I have that straight, I’m laughing right along with you. And your larger point’s an important one. We all could stand to lighten up a little. After all, even gallows humor is humor!

I think that always being ready to laugh at one’s own and one’s fellow humans’ absurdities, whilst also being able accurately to judge when a serious response is required, is one of the gifts of maturity.
As for gallows humour – personally, I don’t think I could have survived without it!
PS I have just remembered from some distant exchange of ours, that you may have the Sun in Scorpio. Should I duck now?

No need to duck — unless, perhaps, that lorry was carrying duck eggs!

Well, it’s a light-hearted look at the Scorpio theme, Margaret. Not at all meant to be taken seriously!
