BIRTHDAY versus SOLAR RETURN

HAPPY BIRTHDAY chimes across the wires. 
from all angles, we receive blessing and praise for a date..

one day.


it's a nice thing ..  quite the ego boost. 

but, what if it isn't even really your birthday?
enter the SOLAR RETURN

the solar return marks the exact degree of the sky held by the sun at the moment of your breath, and the transiting sun's return to that point.  due to the 365.25 days it takes the earth to go 'round, the exact time of this return varies year to year. 

this year in particular, my solar return occurred at the last minute of my birthday.   and some years, it won't even be on 11.3 ..  but it is this moment that flavors the next year.  it is this moment that forecasts the coming year. 

NOTE to a prospective hire

When responding electronically to a job posting, of course, one must read the entire ad and response accordingly.  BUT, there are a few tactics that I have come across that I find REALLY ANNOYING.  I will delete the response immediately, without consideration:

1)  I don't care how personable your "cut and paste" mass response file is..  if it is not written specifically for the job being offered, I can tell, and you won't be considered.

2)  DO NOT send me a link to your "video resume", website or anything else..  i'm not going to chase your credentials all over the internet.  AND, I will most likely infer that such a link be malicious and avoid it at all costs.

3)  Please refrain from excessive formating within the email.  I don't care about your pretty font, or the intricate border..  it detracts from what is really being said and makes me think you're trying to make yourself out to be more than you actually are.

4)  Use FORMAL/PROPER GRAMMAR!!!  "hey man, sup?  i need a job" is NEVER going to get you hired by anyone........
