Today is my birthday, my solar return, and I am 60 years old. It is also my Chinese lunar return – 12 cycles of 5 elements from Wood Serpent to Wood Serpent.

Today is cold (but warmer than yesterday), windy, partly sunny, and generally overcast. Today I was awakened with love, gentle warmth, kind words, and gifts given by the cherished one who knows how to give to me. Today I am loved and I can feel it. 

We ate the pumpkin pie we baked last night this morning with our hot coffee. After which we traveled to Bones, where I received a haircut from a dragon named Mike, while Tim the Enchanter wielded arcane fire as Monty Python and the Holy Grail played in the background. 

Now: writing and reflection. Later: divination and delectation.
