my horoscope for this week:
VIRGO (August 23-September 22): During the course of the week, with Mars moving into your solar 2nd while your ruler Mercury finally arrives in your sign, the number-one topic to devote your pragmatic-analyst's mind to resolving: how to ensure the recent gains attained through more forthright assertiveness can be banked for lasting utility. Having gotten this far in your battle to overcome bashful self-denial, Virgo, you must commit to holding yourself to this new standard… or risk losing ground and slipping backwards into your restrictive self-containment chamber. It wouldn't hurt to outwardly articulate a few explicit statements of such commitment (i.e., 'I will never [blank] again!'; ' From here on out, I'll always [blank] instead of [blank]'; etc.)… mantras you can tape to your bathroom mirror, repeat each day during your morning meditations, or use as instigating guideposts for more detailed free-write journaling. Because everything you've lately achieved has been at least partially due to Saturn, it is not a fluke—it was hard-earned and, therefore, must be carefully safeguarded like the precious treasure it is.
I really have to work on this. I can't slip back into my old ways. They did not serve me. Mantras to follow soon....

myers-briggs take 3
just took a 'career test' and it seemed like a myers-briggs test. apparently i am not the same as i was.
this was my result this time:
ESTJ
ESTJ's fear a bankrupt nation that abandons its heritage and its obligation to a prescribed set of standards. Like all SJ's, ESTJ's feel the need to earn their place in a just society. ESTJ's believe that membership is ensured through responsible serving and the threat of being forsaken or cast out will make them feel insecure. They will worry about dereliction of duties and betrayal. The resulting stress can cause ESTJ's to redouble their efforts at controlling disorder. In an effort to correct what they feel is out of place, they will direct their anger and frustration at what they consider the irresponsible behavior of others. At these times, others may feel the ESTJ is not responsive to their point of view and is jumping to unjustified conclusions.
If stress continues, the ESTJ may become physically immobilized and experience illness, unpleasant bodily sensations, and fatigue. Feeling incapacitated, the ESTJ dreads the thought of being deserted and begins to feel increasingly unappreciated and left out. Their grievance list usually includes those to whom they are responsible; thus it may appear that the ESTJ is neglecting their own obligations by blaming others. While exempting themselves from their own responsibilities, the ESTJ may henpeck and nag others. This can cause those who feel hindered by the ESTJ's complaints to feel defiant and to rebel further.
Careers
This lists represent careers and jobs people of your type tend to enjoy doing. The job requirements are similar to the personality tendencies of your personality type. It is important to remember that this is not a list of all the jobs possible. And it is very important to remember that people can, and frequently do, fill jobs that are dissimilar to their personality... this happens all the time...and sometimes works out quite well.

handcuffs--native guns
Hours away from the verdict of the historic Oscar Grant trial, rappers Kiwi and Bambu (along with DJ Phatrick) have reunited as Native Guns to release their latest song, “Handcuffs” (produced by Six Fingers).
“With so much emotion and uncertainty around the outcome of this case, we felt a sense of urgency to come back together and do this track” states Kiwi, a former Oakland resident. Bambu adds, “We both experienced the L.A riots in 1992 firsthand, and we wanted to remind people of the lessons learned from back then, so we can keep them in mind as we move forward with this current situation.”

the verdict
today the verdict for the mehserle case came down today. involuntary manslaughter! wtf?!?! that man murdered that boy. so much was taken out of the case. mehserle had already beat down a black man six months earlier. also part of his defense was that he was so stressed that he went temporarily blind because of it. wtf!?!?! when will the system see that it is built and perpetuates racism?
also, one of the police cars hit a woman during the protest. wtf?!!? so much shit is wrong with this whole situation! i'm so mad and upset. i don't even know what to do.
driving home, it was like a ghost town. there has been such an eery feeling in the air since the verdict was announced.
i dunno. fuck.

moving forward
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): So how is 2010 going for you so far, Virgo? Have you been taking advantage of life's offers to help you move into a dynamic new phase of your relationship life? Have you been willing to set aside tired old strategies for seeking intimacy so that you can discover approaches you've never imagined before? Have you been brave about overcoming the past traumas and hurts that scared you into accepting less than the very best alliances you could seek? I hope you've been pursuing these improvements, because this is the best year in over a decade to accomplish them.
