An off-shoot of Uranus square Pluto in the background leading me to think I've done with airbnb which I've been *doing* for seven years, I spent the morning - or 20 minutes of it, anyway - dragging furniture from the airbnb room out on to the front porch, a slightly more stylish version of the Native New Mexican custom of loading it up with discarded washing machines and fridges.
Once the decision is made, says one of the Runes I get a lot, the doing is effortless. Not really what I'd call my morning's labor, but it didn't take long and I know the "effortless" is not to be taken literally.
For the first time since buying the place in 2002 I'm going to be living in the whole house by myself. The airbnb room becomes my massive bedroom and my dear little room in the Northeast corner of the house becomes the guest room, something so far beyond anything I ever thought I would have I was blown away when I realized that's what it'll become.
What I could do, of course, if I wanted to give it a try and I just might because it would make me keep the whole house in order 24/7, would be what I've joked about for years - live in the annex JDG built on for himself when we bought the house and put the old bit - *my* bedroom and bathroom, a living room, dining room and kitchen complete with front porch and back patio - on airbnb for an exorbitant amount of money haha.
More, as JDG always says, will be revealed.

Venus conjunct Uranus
Hot hot hot with no air-conditioning for the nth day in a row. Sunday friends coming over and we're going to attempt to watch Tom Hank's new movie on my non-smart TV in the airbnb room, thanks to my new iPhone 11 which gives me a free year of Apple TV.
Off I go to Walmart to buy the air-conditioner I said I would never buy. None to buy. To Ace for the same reason, same result.
A brilliant idea strikes. Get a room at the Motel 6 and have a mini vacation cum inside picnic with AIR-CONDITIONING. Pet friendly, so Pretty Boy can come as well. Check in at one, leave at eleven the next day - senior discount, cheap as chips, piece o'cake, great excitement, make the reservation, can I break it with no penalty if the others involved don't want to do it? Of course, cancel by six tonight, no problem.
Phone calls, great excitement, hey, why don't we.....?
We don't, as no one else is being visited by a Venus Uranus conjunction. Call and cancel the reservation. Discover need Apple TV box to watch Apple TV. Watch two old episodes of Jeopardy instead. Temperature drops to 85 by seven pm and we eat outside on the patio.

Mars trine Pluto
Finally - a scrap of energy after a week of heat-induced lethargy and sloth and an hour's *gardening* done before 8:00 am. Not that I'm not usually up at this time. Three days a week I've been playing tennis for 30 minutes with another hour to go, except yesterday I couldn't even manage that and gave up at 8:30, with my fellow players finally coming around to my "anybody want to start at seven" speech at the beginning of last week. Monday at seven it is.
And only 81 degrees at 8:3 am, with the day's high supposed to be 87. Very good news when it's been hovering around 95 all week, and there was even five whole minutes of rain yesterday, the first to fall in July when we're *supposed* to be two weeks into Monsoon Season.
Very strange to have been coming out here less than 20 years and yet to see climate change in full force right in front of *one's* eyes.

Sun trine Mars
So yesterday I played tennis with the Raspberries, of whom I am thrilled to be one, and then went to Walmart to take back the Tracfone sim card kit I bought last week, which was supposed to have a regular, smaller (?) and nano sim card in it, except all the cards were exactly the same size and none of them fit into my new iPhone I've been threatening to buy for the past two years but have been putting off because of exactly what's happening now.
So I tell the nice young man at the counter that none of the cards fit, and he tells me they will, so I ask him to put one in my new phone which I have very cleverly taken with me, and he does, and tells me I'll just have to trial and error to get the correct one of the three in the kit as I've mixed them all up in my attempts to get them to fit.
So I say thank you and come back to the house and take a photo of the one he put in its little tray, so I'll know just how it fits, and then I try the OLD sim card I've taken out of my poor little 5 SE and try to fit it into the new phone tray, as ENG told me I could do last week, and lo and behold, this time it fits, and I'm able to restore the back up I made from the old phone into the new phone, and all I have to do now is call tracfone and give them the serial number of the new phone and have them switch service over and I'm in business.
Piece o'cake.

Mars opposed to Chiron, Sun conjunct Saturn...
....and opposed to Neptune by the time the day is over.
This is my new resolution - to get back to posting on here nearly every day, which is what I used to do in the olden days when I was much more wrapped up in astrology than I am now, so even though it's only seven o'clock I'm getting a head start here.
What I *know *about the day to come is that if things go according to plan I'm meeting a friend at nine to go off to Bayard to pick free apricots, then coming home (I can say that after eight years) and another friend is coming for lunch (she's bringing it) and also bringing a new neighbour of hers she would like me to meet.
How this all goes I hope to describe on here later, no matter how crazy Robert Hand thinks I am.
To be continued.
Written two days later so as usual have lost interest. If I can start a new habit (of course I can, haha) it is to post in here - well, nearly everyday : All of that happened with a miraculous find of a thrift shop

Jupiter on the Midheaven
What to do when Jupiter returns to the MC while you're still in lockdown, just as you were when it made the first pass?
Sit yourself down and buy the new iPhone you've been saying you're going to buy for about two years, knowing your little 5 SE's days are numbered and its keyboard is so tiny texting is becoming more and more difficult.
Arrives on Tuesday, when Venus hits Uranus and the Sun squares Jupiter.

Mars conjunct Part of Fortune
My PoF is in Pisces in the Twelfth so I never expect diamonds and gold.
Went to play tennis in the morning and one of the women arrived with eight plastic Walmart bags and a big pail like you would use for concrete (?) half full of apricots.
Best fruit ever apart from figs. Lucky old me.
