Guardians of the Soul

Sagittarius Horoscopes

(Nov 22 - Dec 21)

Next Week

For the Week of Aug 2nd, 2010 -- Your desire to avoid emotional drama may be difficult to achieve this weekend. Planets are firing off rockets that can explode in sudden attraction or blast away trust you have in another person. If you have someone special in your life, treat him or her as tenderly as you can, even when reason has flown the coop. Staying cool in the chaos is your best move.

Not surprisingly, I decided to sip a margarita this evening in lieu of the more traditional pain medication at my disposal. My body is on the mend. It reminds me of this any time I try to overextend my resources. There is no choice...I listen. My cat, Elliot, has taken it upon himself to be my personal bodyguard. This is quite amusing. He sticks to my like glue...at my feet, by my side and, of course, underfoot..."Oh, my God! Are you trying to kill me?" Even Monet has been solicitous. Animals sense human stress, be it emotional or physical and have their way of showing support. Some are more tuned in than others. They don't say a word. They are there for you.

There are people like this, too. They don't always have much to say, but they are there, present, when you need that extra energy. Words don't always work. I'm never sure I'll say the 'right' ones, anyway. Just knowing that someone is thinking of you when you need that extra boost gives a certain peace of mind. It is a blessing.

The ancient Egyptians considered cats sacred for practical and spiritual reasons. Some said they were guardians of the home and the soul. Maybe so. I've known a couple of contenders, feline and human, for that honor. Very glad to have them in my life.
