Between Venus and Jupiter

Hi From the Depths of Cyberhell. Still plugging away on this marketing thing. I have to say that I am extremely excited, even though I feel so far away from my goals. Can I just have one goal, please? Here we are, Venus hour, hour of socializing. Luxurious, lovely leisure-seeking, lusty Venus rules Friday. Why do we love Fridays? One reason I can think of is that those of us who are in the working world (not me) look forward to the hour on the clock when we are free for the weekend. Thank God it's Friday represents a chance to engage in leisure—Venus loves to kick up her heels and chill—go out for a drink (or several), hang out, take the paycheck and shop (Venus rules money and shopping--especially luxury). It's also a good day to ask for favors (so if you are looking to ask for a raise, you know which day to ask), settle quarrels, start investing and make improvements to appearances. 


I had a packed day as usual, but managed to do a bit more research on my prospective mentor (I watched a video of a speech that this prospective mentor gave on Youtube and I have to admit I was a little bit intimidated because this person has a razor sharp wit and I tend to spar with people with this type. But when I am asking for a huge favor, maybe not such a good idea. I left a message on this CEO's assistant's machine yesterday, introducing myself as an alumna of the same undergraduate college seeking mentorship. She called me back within thirty minutes and said she was already booking for August.


I have to meditate on which approach to take for my mentorship letter. Business-like bullshit? Or should I use Capricorn candor and tell it how it is? Although my sun sign is Capricorn, my mercury resides in Aquarius. This means I communicate and process information in an Aquarian manner (read: there's a fine line between genius and insanity). This means I have a tendency to lean toward eccentric or unexpected. I am unable to genuinely say what I think people want to hear—I have to speak the truth as how I perceive it. A few years ago, I asked potential employers their astrological signs and told them that I had to know if I was able to tolerate working for them based on their signs—I got the job.


Refusing to toe the line has gotten me into trouble my whole life but today I must present myself as how I really am, weaknesses and all. Today I am going to muster up the courage to ask someone for help.
