Of which dates there are woefully few – at least, few really strong ones. There are usually a handful in any given year that are quite terrific (though invariably flawed), hitting most of the highlights I look for while avoiding the lion’s share of pitfalls; but 2007 and 2008 are proving to be a real challenge. Of course, many, many couples will marry during these years and the usual number – roughly half – will do just fine, astrology or no astrology. But doesn’t it seem curious that the universe is presenting so few bang-up opportunities for tying the knot? So few moments when the skies open up and the planets belt out “Goin’ to the Chapel” in clear, unambiguous language?

In other news, I had all kinds of things to say about NBC’s dubious decision to air the VT killer’s “manifesto” tape and started to draft a post about it; but then we had a dinner party and I held forth on the subject for several minutes (in what was probably a pretty tedious fashion, to be honest) and got it all out of my system. Bottom line: I think NBC’s decision was a mistake at best, and cynical at worst.

Speaking of that dinner party… I thought last weekend would have been a contentious social wash, what with Venus squaring Mars; doesn’t that sound like a contentious social wash? And yet my weekend was divine – convivial and fun. Hope you’ve all been having a good time too!
