Paper Ghost: Musings of a Restless Girl

When I was little, my grandma and I would perform what I now like to call a ritual, called "cut and paste."  We would cut up construction paper and glue it in different ways to make bookmarks and other little pieces of juvenile art.  With the passing of Valentine's Day, I specifically remembered how we would cut different colored hearts in a distinct way so that each side was even and symmetrical.  We would then glue the hearts onto different colored rectangles made of construction paper to make little bookmarks.

Your reading for Today: Today, it is the well-being of your little family that counts more than anything else, REBECCA. You might be organizing a party for your children’s friends, or a supper for your colleagues – even if you don’t particularly feel like it. The alliance of the Moon and Temperance can give rise to a certain hypocrisy. Clearly, there isn’t anything you wouldn’t do for the happiness of your loved ones. At work, thanks to the combined influence of the Moon and the Emperor, you seem rather like a bold tightrope walker who wants to turn back with only a few centimeters to go! Your capabilities are real, but your self-doubt could bring you up short just as things are going promisingly. Put your faith in your gut feelings and push yourself to the limit – you won’t let yourself down.
