K, here's an opportunity for Wolfgang to inform me, expertly of coure, that my personal observations, experiences, feelings and memories are not factual, and therefore not real.

Yesterday, I hosted a performance class for my students. MOst of them are competing in the local music festival over the next couple weeks, so the pressure is definitely on. Well, yesterday's class was one of the easiest, most relaxed and enjoyable ever. I found myself unusually affectionate with and appreciative of them -- even the less accomplished, more unco-operative students who usually frustrate me to no end got nothing but endless patience, kindness and smiles from me. ANd their performances were very pleasing on the whole, too -- afterwards, a couple of the parents even took a minute to tell me how much they appreciate my efforts, complimenting me, telling me what a (favorable) difference they see (or rather, hear) between how their children sound now compared to when they took lessons with someone else, how much more they enjoy their music these days. One mom even gave me a big hug on the way out the door!   :-O

Well, believe me I was walking on clouds after that -- the rest of my day just sparkled it seemed. And last night, I checked my "Personal Daily Horoscope" at Astrodienst. Here's what it said ....

"Things of beauty *
This is a time to take the initiative in all kinds of relationships, especially love relationships. If you reveal your love for someone at this time, it may turn the relationship in a new direction.... The desire for beautiful things is strong during this time, influencing you to buy things of beauty, such as clothes, cosmetics, objects of art, things to beautify the home, or works of literature and musical recordings. Surround yourself with beauty and take advantage of the lighter and more pleasant aspects of life. Under this influence you are affectionate and want to be with friends. You will be in a good mood and able to enjoy almost anything that comes along.

Interpretation above is for your transit selected for today:
Venus Conjunction Venus exact at 07:19
activity period from 24 March 2006 to 26 March 2006."

Venus conjunct Venus, huh? :-) Ooooo .... love, love me do! And as for yesterday's experience, well! How very unfactual, unscientific, unrealistic, and yet amazingly accurate of me (and Venus).

Ok Wolfgang -- lock and load!   ;-)
