Instinct
Am currently addicted to the album 'Instinct' by Mandalay. Influenced by a c-d single sent to me whilst I was in the US for 3 months in 2000; Matt the Millwall fan sent me 'Flowers Bloom'. A haunting and excellent tribute to love - unrequited.
Pity it has probably taken me until now to realise why he sent to me.. and how my non-reaction to it probably caused the relationship to terminate on my arrival back in the UK.
Strange how music and places resonant.
Spiller Groovejet - takes me back to 10 years ago when I met Hugo Lovegod.. ah funny days, funny indeed. Gills were in the Championship. Not anymore. Oh well...
National Humiliation Month.. and some retrospection.
Lucky Days: 9, 10, 18, 27, 28
Yucky Days: 6, 7, 14, 15, 21

Mercury, the messenger planet, leaves your constellation on 3 February while Venus, the love and pleasure magnet, enters on the same day. The switch over offers you a sweet break from the buzzing synapses and gadgets. February’s focus is mainly on your financial sector with the Sun, New Moon (2 February), Mercury, Venus and Mars occupying the money sector of your horoscope. This is a most opportune time to work on your taxes, straighten out any lingering bank balance issues and strategise about new ways to increase your current income. With Jupiter gracing the base of your chart, you’re in the throes of a fabulous lucky period. When the Sun enters Pisces on 18 February and Mars follows on the 22nd, you’ll be less focused on money matters and more interested in more imaginative ventures like creative scheming. Use the first half of the month to get your business brain on so you can relax and dream from the 18th onward.

Capricorn
Well who’d a thunk it? The Goat gets the Valentine prize! Venus, the romance goddess herself, is in your skies for the rest of February – perfect for attracting some up close action, whether from your main squeeze or from more remote admirers. Venus is about enjoying company as well as love affairs, meaning the least you can do is dress up and truck round a few social functions, or put out the best china for friends.
Capricorn doesn’t have much of a reputation for romance, perhaps because practical considerations usually weigh heavy on them (though there is always the traditional ‘old goat’ to take into account). Despite the call to achieve at all costs, the Sea-Goat is, as its watery, fishy half suggests, an emotional creature. Like their Cancerian counterparts, however, Capricorns are wary of revealing their vulnerable side; the appearance of being in control takes precedence.
A visible, hands-on public role is certainly the order of your planet, Saturn, in the short term. Planets this spring emphasise the demands of job and of family – squaring the demands of each looks particularly tricky – rather than tussling with a partnership. Those two ‘relationship planets’, Mars and Venus, slip swiftly through the zodiac zones associated with friendships, play, and fleeting encounters.
May and June are a different matter. Venus, Mars and Jupiter lined up in Taurus, a fellow earth sign, promise a summer to remember, when your emotional attachments take precedence, including, for those searching, a pressing affair of the heart. With Jupiter involved, long distance love may prove part of the deal.
Here in February, aspects to intense Pluto (in your skies for the long haul) come from Venus on the 10th and Jupiter on the 25th; days to consider who truly presses your buttons.
Valentine signs: Taurus and Libra

Oh the irony of Libra... a year ago I started emailing Paul.. three months of bliss were ahead of me followed by six months of disbelief...and so now a new film is release with the same name and the wheel of my life turns another circle... I am going to try an avoid all encounters until MAY!! Maybe changing the date of meeting someone will help me hold onto them.. I have as it goes also cancelled ALL subscriptions to online dating sites.

Frankly not sure anyone could live up to last years experience and also my spare time is practically zilch. Nada. In fact I am just a Slave to the Wage and not overly enjoying it.
The call of creative writing yells louder at me whilst my brain sits wrung dry from too much effort at the day to day work... I crave some sun shine. A gentle breeze. A loving look. And the space to explore language and life again.
Not emails. Video conferences. Phone conferences. Meetings. Agendas. Notes. Work Packages.
I do also wonder what Mr Yarns is up to now...
