Just for intro & context for what follows, here is my horoscope according to two different sources for today…

  1. This is an auspicious time for you, Cancer. It gives you the energy and enthusiasm to make the necessary changes in your life. There is a lot of work to do, but you're up to it! First focus on your relationships. Your loved ones don't care about your professional successes. They want (and perhaps need) to spend more time with you. Do what you can to bring your life more into balance.

  2. If something goes drastically wrong today, keep your cool. Don't be so impatient about fixing the problem that you end up doing something rash. You may end up doing more damage in the process of fixing things than you would if you just let things sit for a couple days. Mull over the situation, talk it out with others, and approach the entire issue at another time with a different frame of mind altogether.

On December 19, 2024, I went to the hospital with myocardial infarction number four. Left work early, just like with the last one, but no stent this time. Blood clot blockage was removed, blah, blah, blah. Since that moment, I've had an endoscopy, colonoscopy, biopsy, and cat scan, with more procedures and consultations scheduled and waiting to be scheduled.

Today's high point, hopefully, will be getting the results of the biopsies back so I'll know which colorectal cancer I've now been diagnosed with, so I can get set up for chemotherapy. More nodes and info to follow, still processing of course, as I've only known about the diagnosis for just under forty-eight hours…

Quite the horoscope for today, no?
