The Ten of Pentacles has an upside and a downside. The upside: if you come from a caring, nurturing loving family who left you a legacy of joy and peace, why then you’re golden. If your family of origin was otherwise, you carry that legacy as well and you have a tougher road. Now, most…
Today, we have some decisions to make. Do we remain true to our ideals or do we bend them just enough to get what we ultimately think we want? Do we stay honest or do we tell little white lies that will grease wheels, smooth the road ahead, and keep the peace? Do we maintain…
I’ll be honest. It’s not the most pleasant of cards. It talks about stress, worry, potential illness, and general malaise. It doesn’t mean that your day is going to be like that. It does however mean that you need to be on the lookout for those kinds of distressing feelings and situations. And then, you…
This is the kind of thing that makes me want to step away from twitter and find some other method to disseminate information. The item that particularly tweaks me is that the tweets signified as “important” tweets will be ones that come from people like Justin Bieber. Nothing against him. I don’t know him. I…

Redundant backups are your friend. I do two backups of my data. One is daily/nightly and the other is monthly. Last night, my daily back drive bit the dust. My computer was fine but I couldn’t back up to the drive. So, I had to grab ye ol’ secondary backup, get that going, make sure…
Sometimes, despite our best efforts to be stalwart, true, and virtuous, we’re temped to shirk our responsibilities and take the easy way out. The seven of swords portends that today will be such a day. Around every corner, we’ll be tempted to take our toys and go home, or at least to sneak off and…
