Today’s Astrology Horoscope (for all signs)
Uriel’s Message — Finding Truth in Blessings
“Have you received a blessing today? Have you received your heart’s desire, abundance,
a miracle or the answer to a prayer? These are the blessings you know and appreciate
but there are other blessings that are more difficult to understand, such as honoring
someone’s choice to separate from you, being removed from a situation that does
not honor you, releasing a belief, attitude or thought, or seeing through an illusion.
Each of these is also a blessing that brings you closer to the truth of your being,
although you may not consider yourself very blessed by their presence.
Every aspect of your life holds blessings but when you judge them as being good
or bad, helpful or not, you miss the value of the lessons they have to teach you.
To be blessed is to gain in wisdom and understanding, which may appear in the form
of lessons that reveal fear and powerlessness. These are just as important as those
blessings which bring you joy, what you desire and miracles. Each blessing holds
its own truth for you and all blessings enlighten your journey.
The lessons in which you find your power, reconnect to your wisdom and learn to
balance your energies are the ones that serve as your most powerful blessings. They
are the ones that lead you to your truth and help release the blocks to the abundant
and joyful living you desire. But they are also the ones that cause you the greatest
hardship, whose learning requires the release of energies you have moved beyond
but may still be connected to and that you see yourself in your full power and divinity.
If you will see each person, situation and event in your life as a blessing you
will begin to see the patterns of healing, the movement of the energies and the
ways in which you can be guided to the understanding you seek on your healing journey.
Release your need to be in judgment of any situation as good or bad and instead,
seek the truth it holds for you. Then you will find the wisdom and understand that
are the true blessings of your journey, which will lead you to release, peace and
transformation.” Sent to me by Dagen Julty, Shutesbury, MA
Talk about abundant blessings! Yesterday for my birthday this blog generated $0.56! With this many blessings, I am going to take some time off to think about my blessings…….
Mars is Direct today. I’d like to write about it, but i’m flatlined from lack of purchases and will take some time to do other things…. Happy Mars Direct!
There are no “good” or “bad transits, either way, having a transit is a blessing!
This week, Venus offers both blessings and challenges, depending on how consciously you look at it!
Venus is just into Aries (assertive love) trine Mars stationing Direct, while Venus connects with the Saturn-Pluto square and creates a T-Square. You can hurry love. Along with emotional powerplay crises and stalemates. Here’s a case where the trine can make it easier to manipulate for ego gratification. Or find energy for transformation.
VENUS trine Mars (from Io Transit Forecast) Mar 6 through Mar 9, exact on Mar 8
“Diplomacy is transformed into positive physical actions under this influence. Enthusiasm is high for energetic interactions with others, as it is for most physical activities. This is not the time to be alone. Work or play requires a partner, or at the very least being around others in order to get the stimulation and feedback you need to accomplish things. You’ll be delighted to put your efforts behind a wedding, a party, or for that matter, any social event. You may experience enhanced appreciation for elegant cars, luxurious travel, or well-designed machinery of one sort or another. Compliments and appreciation for your talent as well as the cooperation you may receive from others during this period can actually make the difference between success or failure in many of your efforts. Relations with the opposite sex are exceptionally smooth, and if they are not, you can easily promote a more agreeable atmosphere. Life can be very romantic, literally as well as in every other sense of the word. Don’t pass up the chance during this fortunate period to pursue creative and artistic endeavors. You are also apt to emerge the winner in most risk-taking ventures.”
VENUS opposed Saturn (from Io Transit Forecast) Mar 8 through Mar 11, exact on Mar 9
“This influence can only be positive if you have the maturity to understand that there is a certain pleasure in thankless tasks, self-discipline, and staying home alone. Receiving little or no appreciation or affection, and a total lack of humor in the people and situations you encounter can strengthen your character if you are the type that can turn negative situations into learning experiences. Forget about romance, fun and games, instant gratification, and the well-fed feeling that comes from dining sumptuously. There are few if any pleasures to be had now without also incurring responsibility– and, in the end, perhaps all you may really get is the responsibility. Others may regard you as too serious, too old, too formal, or too inflexible. This is not a favorable period to ask others for their opinions, cooperation, or assistance. Go it alone. Do not take unnecessary risks of any kind because Lady Luck is not on your side. If something good does come your way, hold your breath and hope it will still be there in the morning.”
VENUS square Pluto (from Io Transit Forecast) Mar 10 through Mar 13, exact on Mar 11
“Interactions at this time are apt to trigger more serious responses than the circumstances might indicate. Something that is said or done in an innocent social or light-hearted context may stir up old memories, deep passions, and even deep anger and resentment. Whether you are the one that is aroused or you inspire such reactions in others is not always easy to predict. Being aware of the potential of such an occurrence and staying in control of your reactions at least, are the keys to dealing with whatever comes along. You should not, for instance, deliberately antagonize others or seek to arouse their jealousy, since such a plan would automatically backfire or result in something even worse. If faced with your own internal conflicts set off by innocent (and even not so innocent) gestures on the part of others, much will be gained if you can manage to rise to the challenge by turning such negative energy to some constructive purpose.”
Here’s my birthday week special– get DOUBLE the time for love! (buy 6 months, get a year; buy a year, get 2 years!)This is my FAVORITE forecast. Really, no one is interested at double the time??? Really????? Ok, message received, I’ll remove it later today.
Love begins within. Hopefully it doesn’t stop there! When love comes knocking on your door, will you be ready and feeling fabulous? Or will you answer after a night of self-sabotage… Don’t give up on love!
The Love Forecast
Your Love forecast describes transiting influences that especially effect the way YOU
relate to love and romance. Find your true path to happiness, discover where you block it, and how you can atract more of what you really want. Both short-term and long-term influences are described.
This is written from your perspective and only requires your birthdata, not your
partner’s. This is a great way to make the most of your most important relationship.

Today’s Astrology Horoscope (for all signs)
Today is the Last Quarter Moon (in Sagittarius).
Venus conjoins Uranus (from Io Transit Forecast)
“Under this influence an unorthodox or less-than-traditional partnership or alliance may be on the agenda; proposed either by you or to you. Romantic or social contacts may be the inspiration to adopt highly unique methods to achieve common goals. The social scene you encounter at this time can inspire the spirit of egalitarianism in you, or you may be the one that engenders others with such an attitude. Unless negative circumstances happen to occur to spoil the potential, this may be a fortuitous period for establishing friendship and coordinating group activities. Those viewed by most of society as different or eccentric may be the very individuals you find appealing. In turn others may be attracted to you for the characteristics that make you different or unique. Art and music you encounter now are not likely to follow along traditional lines.”
Another interpretation, or lesson, from Venus conjoining Uranus is to be more conscious of your money. Venus rules money. Uranus is about consciousness. I just got an email from a trusted source saying that big companies are using a creative concept called “forced continuity” to charge you monthly for something you thought was a one-time purchase. Are you being included in a group that costs monthly? If you don’t want to be fooled, read what you sign and check your billing statements! What you get “for free” may not be!
Here’s a chart for the conjunction of Venus and Uranus

LEGEND
This weekend Mercury and Jupiter unite in the sky. This is NOT the weekend to look for faults and point fingers of blame!!! You can easily find faults that are meaningless and grow them into mountains. NO! This is the time to tell a few jokes, have a good laugh, enjoy the company and conversation of good friends and upstanding citizens. It’s the time to express, in words, your gratitude for the abundance you enjoy and share your gifts. Share your stories of success.
Here’s a chart for the conjunction of Mercury and Jupiter this weekend:

mercury conjunct jupiter, march 7, 2010
Mercury conjuncts Jupiter once a year, promising a time of optimism. This can be a time to see the big picture and make big plans, like continuing your education or taking a long trip. Yet, this year, the Mercury-Jupiter conjunction makes no aspects to any other planets. While you can be filled with positive words and ideas, they may not connect with anything or lead to the high hopes they seem to promise.

Sunday’s FULL MOON is a peak of AMPLIFICATION. Whatever is happening, expect a lot more of it!
It can be an opportunity— or you can be an opportunist! Grabbing way more than your “fair” share, because after all, when it comes to you, why limit yourself!!!
Full Moons illuminate oppositions. This Full Moon (in Virgo-Pisces) amplifies the distinction between hoping something works out– and KNOWING something will work out. We hear that the Law of Attraction only returns what you send, you receive what you send vibrationally. If you are sending hopes and wishes because you are lacking something you want, you will continue to receive the lack you feel. Because that is how you are vibrating.
There is a big difference in how you feel– and how you vibrate– when you hope for something and when you KNOW you have to make something work. When you KNOW, you make a choice. You are open to your intuition. You search for new ideas. You ask for help along the way. You easily find the energy to go the extra distance and you feel rewarded for going there. Your mind and body are aligned.
And to get from hoping and knowing, there is one magical ingredient this Full Moon can provide– inspiration.
This Full Moon shows us there is an opportunity to be successful– if we go the distance. If we are hoping and wishing, we can expect to continue to hope and wish. Yet, this Full Moon can illuminate the difference between wishing and knowing something so well, you do it. Be encouraged! This is a graduation Full Moon;-)
This Full Moon can also illuminate and highlight cultural differences, expose prejudges, and amplify disagreements.
Here’s a chart for the Full Moon on Sunday, February 28

full moon on february 28, 2010
Read the symbols using artcharts
LEGEND
If you’re ready for the next level of your life, this can be a graduation Full Moon. You can flow effortlessly into new worlds of abundant prosperity and limitless love and success— IF and only if your generosity is genuine. If you are scheming and trying to grab more while others are busy giving generously, that is assurance that you will fail in a way that take you further from your hopes for success– only because you appropriated success from someone else and didn’t share your own offering or enjoy your own experience or live up to your own potential.
If you’re not living the life you dream about, if there are just too many blocks and things and people in the way, how can you more authentically and realistically fulfill your Self and find the happiness you so deserve and are ready for right now!

Last Week’s Astrology odds and ends (for all signs)
Sunday morning’s FULL MOON is a peak of AMPLIFICATION. Whatever is happening, expect a lot more of it!
This weekend, Mercury will conjunct Neptune. Dreams and intuitions contain the real instant messages now. The question is, how can you be more open to your inner vision? And you’re not done there! Once you open to your spiritual self, how can you share your insights?
If you can trust your dream-teacher, or imagination, you can give and receive inspiration that can give you new information and energy– because you’re going with the flow as opposed to feeling blocked and having to fight your way through everything. There is a message trying to come through dreams and imagination this week that can give you inspiration— the natural attitude adjustment. Your trust and generosity can come back to you– if you can be open to it. And today you can find new ways to open to your intuition.
Anyway, that’s how it looks “on paper”, and that’s what your “normal” astro stuff site will say— although when this aspect is exact in the sky, the Moon opposes in Leo. So it is very easy for our egos, unchecked and unbalanced with the rest of ourSelves, not to believe a word of what our dreams, intuitions, and spiritual guides are trying to say.
Unlike opportunity, inspiration doesn’t knock loud. It kinda hangs around, hovering, and if you tune in, you get it. Otherwise, it drifts off….. If you don’t use inspiration, inspiration moves on. It is in search of a channel who is willing to believe in it and use it as a resource. If you don’t value the inspiration you receive because it doesn’t seem to be instantly valuable, you can miss out on a brilliant idea or genius upgrade this week! Or even an abundant windfall.
Here’s a chart for the Gibbous Moon on Thursday:

gibbous moon on february 25, 2010

LEGEND
My mind is continually blown (made more aware) by the perfection of astrological timing! Yet, it takes working with astrology to know when things are normal and when they are off the chart! I work with astrology every day, so I can quickly bring clarity and perspective to otherwise murky situations! Like the approaching FULL MOON in Virgo-Pisces being an opportunity to extend your generosity and confirm your faith in abundance!

Pisces and Fantasy
Pisces gets a bad rap. Wishy washy. Undecided. Flimsy. Phony. Flaky. No one home. Off in LaLa Land. These are all things they call PIsces, although It’s not their name!!! Pisces is lucky enough (yes they are lucky, ruled by Jupiter) to have a foot in 2 worlds– the real and the unconscious. PIsces is the shoreline– the unfirm, shifting place between the ocean of the unconscious and the real earth world. The place they come together shows the impact they have on each other– how our unconscious drives impact our realworld lives, and how our lives impact our dream life and healing.
Many people mistakenly think Pisces are floating without a clue, although PIsces are actually privileged enough to float in the collective unconscious, the childlike world where all is healed. Hopefully too, Pisces are wise enough to know the difference between LaLa Land and the tough real world. Just calling it LaLa Land is disrespectful of the energy of Pisces. The collective unconscious, or the waters of Pisces, are where we receive healing and balance. It is not the real world, yet it is a world we all share. We go there when we dream. We go there when we are creative. When we meditate. When we listen to music. When we watch a movie. Most of us are able to tell the difference between the movie we just watched and our lives. It’s a story. At the end, the curtain closes– back to real life. The story may be healing. It may be a release (cathartic). It may help us gain deep understanding and give our lives meaning. But we know it is not our lives. We are able to hold our disbelief in suspension while we watch and experience a film. That’s the gift of Pisces. You enter a zone that is suspended and is healing. Last call comes! You cannot stay there! But you can swim through. And benefit from the experience.
This website is also a gateway to other worlds and knowledge. You can’t live here, though you can visit. I can’t even live here! I also leave and go to work. We need to be adult enough to tell the difference between real and spiritual, to see the shoreline. That is what we mean by taking responsibility– owning our adult needs and choices. We don’t have to be conscious! So when we come here, we can suspend our belief and enjoy what it is– a dip into the healing pool. Yet as adults, we also need to keep in mind that someone actually sits and writes this blog that helps to keep us in astrological balance–every day. That is is a service of healing. And that the healer needs an income is also very real! Being able to graciously make that distinction can give you both worlds– the healing collective unconscious AND the nitty gritty real world of human endeavors.
Now go do it— as soon as Mars stations direct on March 10 !

Last Week’s Astrology odds and ends (for all signs)
Tonight’s First Quarter Moon can reveal secret information that unlocks golden opportunities!
You can take care of practical matters and succeed in more ways than you ever imagined– especially if you’re genuine and generous.
Many of us know the meanings of the signs and planets and get a general sense when we hear the Sun has entered Pisces. It is like entering a dream state. But when it comes to an interpretation that can truly provide useful guidance, that can be lost…. It takes someone working with the material on a daily/weekly/yearly basis to bring full understanding. Without that, we may get a gist or a whiff, but nothing we can fully understand or use to our benefit.
Here’s a chart for the Sun entering Pisces on February 18, 2010:

sun enters pisces
As Mars continues to move Retrograde (backwards) through Leo, it creates an ongoing double Yod with Saturn, Pluto, and Jupiter. And this Yod will stay in effect for about a month and a half — until Mars makes its Direct station and starts moving forward on March 10…. On Valentine’s Day, Venus (and the Moon) joined the double Yod. It’s a time when we can be tested to see how generous or greedy we need to be– and the results can be extremely karmic. Changey needs to happen. Hopey too. And if it doesn’t we need to look at ourselves, not blame others. So we can expect bigger problems! And from our big, positive thinkers, bigger and better solutions.

Inspiration Retrieval Astrology Readings— with your astrologer, Lauren Edmond
Many viewers tell me they use the free astrology sites to get their transits. This is great! We are becoming more astrologically aware, and more aware of our own behavior. There are sites that give you a long list of all your transits. If you’re really not busy, you can search around all day doing this! But here’s the problem. You see a long list of aspects. Cool! You start reading them. Ok, this one seems to pertain, and this one doesn’t. So you think, astrology isn’t all that accurate! However, it takes someone who looks at charts all the time to know if an transit is normal or something quite exceptional that needs to be noted. Without context or perspective, you don’t know if you’re even looking at the right transits!!! It could be that what seems like a BIG aspect makes NO impact on your chart. Or, a very small sesquisquare (135 degree aspect) to the Moon can snap you in half! It depends on what the transits are doing to your entire chart, your progressed chart, your solar arc directions, as well as all midpoints. It is especially helpful to look at a biwheel chart for the exact moment a transit perfects, called horary, and see how that chart reads both ways. Often, a transit that seems very promising on paper, turns out to be nothing much. Or, something “scary” is really a golden opportunity! When viewers ask me which reports they “need” and I give them a list, they think I am trying to rip them off. However, when I give a reading, I (or any astrologer) will look at all that material and much more. Reading a chart requires knowledge and focus. If you are relying on simple generic statements to answer your serious concerns, you are grasping at straws and can find yourself disappointed. Don’t blame astrology! There is a lot more to it than your sun sign horoscope or reading a list of transiting aspects. There is still no substitute for the perspective of an experienced human.
The Sun is transiting in Pisces. Time for all our hearts to grow a few sizes;-)))) All your wealth and treasures are yours and yours alone. But… if you don’t have the bank password, all that wealth is a nice thought that doesn’t buy anything!

Interesting chart observation: Mercury is and has been unaspected for awhile. The Moon made a quick sextile to Mercury yesterday, making it easier to connect both dots and people. But since Mercury has been in Aquarius and past the trine to Saturn, there are no major aspects it will make. Interpretation?!? It is really hard to make connections at this time. And, you can go to extremes of thought, since it is harder to find people to share your ideas and bounce them around.

Last Week’s Astrology Odds&Ends (for all signs)
Happy Valentine’s Day!
As the Moon moves closer to Venus and Jupiter, this is a day to celebrate LOVE!!! Feel it and share it!
Overnight was the New Moon in Aquarius. This is a true make-a-wish New Moon.
It’s time to upgrade something major in your tech life — now! Learn a new way to connect. Start a new trend! Social network.
What you learn now may be a stretch– but after the learning curve, you can find fun, profit, and friends!
For the first time since December 5, Mercury changed signs and entered Aquarius this week. New ideas abound and everyone gets the chance to speak their new ideas.
As Mars continues to move Retrograde (backwards) through Leo, it creates a double Yod with Saturn, Pluto, and Jupiter. And this Yod will stay in effect for about a month and a half — until Mars makes its Direct station and starts moving forward…. For Valentine’s Day, Venus joins the double Yod. It’s a time when we can be tested to see how generous or greedy we need to be– and the results can be extremely karmic. Changey needs to happen. Hopey too. And if it doesn’t we need to look at ourselves, not blame others. So we can expect bigger problems! And from our big, positive thinkers, bigger and better solutions.
Here’s a chart for the double Yod. Only the Yod aspects are visible. This Yod will be in effect through Spring 2010. Venus joins for Valentine’s Day

double yod chart on feb 9, 2010
In our “everything-costs-too-much” culture, things that are FREE are FUN!! What a relief!!! Yet, every time we get something for “FREE” someone did not get paid. Most of the “FREE” offers I get sound great– they are from smart marketers looking to sell me something VERY expensive– even after I bought something that I thought was expensive!!! Meanwhile, it can seem like I got enough information, even if I only got one small part of a big picture. Many of us are just looking for hints and clues to bring into our own meditations. Giving away things for FREE is a choice. It can also be stimulated by market competition. The current double Yod pattern including Mars, Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter shows us that we may not GET everything we want directly. Since we are asked to pay more and more for our basic needs, getting something back for nothing seems like something we deserve. Yet, the attitude of deserving and expecting keeps us like children, looking for big people to take care of us. We are the big people! What about the gifts each of us can share. How can each of us give something, even indirectly, that makes a difference. Yet, it’s the people who care who will take this message seriously, and the ones who really don’t who will continue to blame and shame and make sarcastic remarks– not because they’re funny– it’s just how they operate and spiritual consciousness remains a “joke”.

Valentine’s Day is Sunday!
On the eve of Valentine’s Day there’s a New Moon in Aquarius (Feb 13). It is on the NEW MOONS that the power is released and we can affect true change. And at the FULL MOON we see the effects of the changes. Yet, we mostly ignore the New Moons because we don’t see them. So here’s a chart for the Aquarius New Moon:

new moon february 13, 2010

LEGEND
New Moons are seed times. Energy picks up so we can plant new seeds that will grow. It’s a time to start new projects and let the energy move us forward. This is the New Moon in Aquarius, when we can connect to new networks, contact more people, get our new ideas out there. Yet, the New Moon only makes a conjunction to Neptune (and Chiron)– in other words, this is a good time to connect with a spiritual teacher. Or go to the movies! Ideas and insights can be great inspirations now, much more than emotions or feelings.
Astrologically, Venus has just entered Pisces (Feb 11) and will conjunct Jupiter (Feb 16) — more love!!! There are opportunities to melt with LOVE. But these are only opportunities! VEnus is also inconjunct Mars and Saturn– if you expect to “get” love, you can be disappointed as it slips through your grasp, once again. This is about the need to adapt. Before you point the blame elsewhere, what is the NEW MOON doing in YOUR chart? What is VENUS doing in YOUR chart? What do you really need? What are your feelings based on? Why do you attract what you do? What are you really putting out there???
Sales of reports that would actually shine a light on our very human complaints and help us find real answer (ie, Lunar Return, The Relating Potential Report, Hidden messages, The Love Forecast) are rare. We have free will. We just don’t want to have to make the effort to exert it. It’s not our fault, it’s the way we have trained ourselves to see the world, over long periods of time. When we take astrology with a “grain of salt” and think of it as “crap we can get anywhere” — that is our own resistance we have encountered! Finding someone or some situation to blame seems easier, and right. If you self-reflect, and you’re wrong, what then?!? Yet when blame doesn’t change anything and our ruts only get deeper, we still keep blaming and making the same excuses. For how long? 10 years? 20, 30, 40, 50… And what IS the price of not living your life? There is a daily cost. There is a lifetime cost. There is a world cost. Yet, resistance is part of the human condition. Awareness is a challenge we can choose to take on or neglect.
Valentine’s Day, the day of love and romance– ruled by planet Venus– finds planet Venus in a both the wonderful and somewhat uncomfortable position of being inconjunct Mars and Saturn– while approaching a conjunction with expansive Jupiter. Love is real and growing, love can be lucky. But it’s not a straight path. In relationships, respect is as important as love. You can realize how many ways being taken for granted erodes trust and downgrades the quality of important relationships. The need to “get over” can start to seem like taking advantage– are you in a loving relationship or looking for chink in each other’s armor, holes in your stories, ways to start fights. Or, you may feel like your relationship is only one way and it continues only due to your insistence and willingness to make more compromises and do more than your share. Wanting someone too much can throw off the natural balance of the relationship, especially if you are measuring how much you receive to make sure you are really loved. Or feeling you are not loved because your partner is not centered in the relationship in the ways you are. Awareness is half the challenge! As the Moon waxes — and Venus and Jupiter conjunct on Tuesday– you can start to make adjustments.

This week’s Astrology odds and ends (for all signs)
Did you know…. the #1 reaction to NOT knowing something is PANIC?!???! I would have thought it would be an interest in finding out, but our egos have to know everything already! So we FREAK OUT if we don’t know something. And in our market-driven world, this has translated into making everything as simple as possible so everyone understands. Yet, as the Moon cruises through Sagittarius today, some of us may wonder, what are we missing? What knowledge, information, and wisdom are we just not getting because we think we have to know it all already?!!?!? When did learning stop being a journey?
It’s a good day for finding your sense of humor and feeling some genuine optimism.
Friday night’s Last Quarter Moon can show some harsher realities and the bottom line can send you back to the drawing board… Does anyone really like you, or just what they think they can “get” from you? With a lack of deep commitment, tonight it can seem like getting over is more important than experiencing true passion. Yet– if you can be open to what is revealed tonight, you can unlock (yet another) key to your heart. On this Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio, it can really seem like it’s all about the money.

astrology chart for the last quarter moon, february 5, 2010
Wednesday was the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Ground Hog’s Day, Candlemas, Brighid, Imbolc — are all holidays that note and celebrate the Winter-Spring halfway point. The days are getting longer, light is returning— yet we are still in the middle of winter. And as the Sun returns, the big question is: will winter continue or is Spring close? Astrologically, we can look at the exact halfway point, which is 15 degrees Aquarius. Here’s a chart for MidWinter 2010:

We are moving towards Valentine’s Day. Astrologically, Venus is conjunct Neptune. There are opportunities to melt with LOVE. But these are only opportunities! If you expect to “get” love, you can be disappointed as it slips through your grasp, once again. Before you point the blame elsewhere, what is the MOON doing in YOUR chart? What do you really need? What are your feelings based on? The amount of people who purchase reports that would actually shine a light on their complaints and help them find real answer (Lunar Returns, The Relating Potential Report, Hidden messages, StarLight Solutions Forecast, etc) is about a handful in 13 years. We have free will. We just don’t want to have to make the effort to exert it. Finding someone or some situation to blame seems so much easier. And when it doesn’t work, keep blaming. For how long? 10 years? 20, 30, 40, 50…
If sarcastic replies are your major source of communication, you may want to break out of your conditioning and become more genuine…. Because the more you can speak from your true self today, the more likely you are to attract someone who can help you get from here to the next step. Too many sarcastic sitcom quips, and you may get canceled;-) Make thoughtful, insightful, positive comments and attract more of the same.
