Sweet Sweat. Sh_t!

I've been driving to and from Manila to Bulacan these days because of some little legal matters to attend to. Yesterday it was sweltering hot.

I put the car air conditioner to max but it could not beat the outside weather. Manila!

But why complain? My sister whose visiting San Jose, California emailed and warned me of the worse winter in North America - she's into layers of thick clothing and complete with socks at bedtime.

I'm returning soon to winter weather, and planning on a long driving trip to New York. I'm praying that the snow will melt soon...er. As a Pisces, my intuitive senses are supposed to be well oiled so I'm forecasting warmer weather upon arrival up Northwest.

I am still in a bind, though. My Pisces luck (I'm not Irish so luck is come and go) didn't work out last year, but 'am still hoping that the wind will straighten my sail, and my Universe will be complete.

On Friday, February 19th, the Pisces sign starts. People born between February 19 - March 20 fall under this Zodiac sign.

" The Astrological birth sign of Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

is usually associated with being extremely creative, sensitive, and artistic, as well as a healthy fascination with the metaphysical and spiritual.

Pisces are the most intuitive and spiritually developed of the zodiac birth signs

Aptly called "old souls", Pisces thirst for spiritual knowledge and personal growth. They are the twelfth, and last, of the Zodiac signs, and as such, tend to have a more finely tuned intuition, sixth sense or extrasensory ability to perceive others feelings.

The duality of the Pisces personality is best described as a constant ebb and flow,

back and forth, straddling the physical, material world and the ethereal, divine realm where Pisces vivid imagination, powerful intuition and creative daydreaming feel like home.

Pisces are creators

Pisces are common as inventors, writers, musicians, painters, and dancers. Pisces make great friends and mates. Pisces are extremely loyal and caring. Pisces often possess uncanny intuitive or psychic abilities."

Pisces are sensitive, humane and often idealistic. People born under this sign react emotionally to everything making them compassionate and sensitive to those around them. Rather than taking an analytical approach to life, pisces react to the feelings of others and as a result can be very influential when they choose to be. In the right situaltion a Pisces can be capable of incredible deeds. The positive nature of a Pisces and the fact that they are tuned into the feelings of others makes them socially popular.

Being able to read and react to situations makes Pisces one of the most adaptive signs in the Zodiac. They are very intuitive and as a result can be flexible and prosper in many different situations. The intuitive nature of Pisces also makes them a very creative and imaginative sign. Pisces are often artists, writers and dreamers. The strong intuition of a Pisces can also mean that they are very spiritual.
