Aries & Libra ......
When Aries and Libra come together in a love affair, the inherent polarity of the Zodiac is invoked. Aries and Libra are directly opposite one another in the Zodiac -- 180 degrees apart. Each Sign possesses qualities that the other lacks; combined with Libra's natural yen for harmony, this can be a relationship that enjoys great balance. Aries is the Sign of Self while Libra is the Sign of Partnership, and the differences continue: Aries is impulsive, excitable and ready to jump right into something new and exciting, while Libra is indecisive, peace-loving and prefers a calm, smooth approach. Aries can learn from Libra that their own way isn't necessarily the best way.
These two Signs share the great sexual attraction common to all Signs opposite in polarity. At the same time, though this pair's connection is amazing when it's good, it can be extremely challenging when it's bad. All polarities have energies that tend to tangle or knot if understandings can't be reached. As a combination, Aries and Libra are well-balanced. Charming, cultured Libra can teach brash Aries something about style. Libra prizes harmony in a relationship and will go to great lengths to maintain it. Aries is very decisive and can teach indecisive Libra about relying on intuition for answers.
Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars and Libra is ruled by the Planet Venus. This is a great match, as these are the Planets of Passion and Love, respectively. Venus and Mars go well together as they're the two sides of the love relationship coin. They're universally recognized as male and female and this relationship is a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. Venus is about the beauty of romance while Mars is about the passion of romance. What a good combination!
Aries is a Fire Sign and Libra is an Air Sign. Air fuels Fire and helps it grow and spread. Aries can have a very positive effect on Libra's growth, ideas and progress; Aries can help Libra put their ideas into action. Working together can be challenging at times, however, due to their polarity. Aries's fast-paced, impetuous approach to projects may conflict with Libra's more balanced, intellectual approach. However, both Signs have wide-ranging interests, and at the end of a long, active day, Aries can come home full of interesting stories to tell the more cerebral Libra!
Aries and Libra are both Cardinal Signs. They both have a lot of initiative -- but lack in follow-through. They both tend to start things they're never going to finish, whether it's a job, a project, a relationship ... Aries will appear to be the leader because of their energy and forceful nature, but Libra leads from an intellectual standpoint. Both Signs want to be in charge, but Aries uses force and sometimes intimidation to get what they want while Libra uses charm and sometimes manipulation. Compromise is essential to this relationship's health. Diplomatic Libra has a much easier time with compromise than does Aries, who strongly dislikes yielding to another person, viewing it as submission. Libra may have to give in more often to Aries's wishes in order to keep the peace that they so cherish.
What's the best aspect of the Aries-Libra relationship? The harmony resulting from the union of Venus and Mars. The balance between self and other represented by this polarity is a great learning experience for both Signs. Each brings to the relationship what the other is missing, making for a wonderful balance.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DOCTOR.....
My immune system is not strong and it is really starting to take a toll on my overall health. I'm sick this morning and suffering from major allergy and cold problems. To be quite frank, I can never tell the difference between what my body is enduring at the time of my disorder. Is it allergies or a cold? I feel drowsy even though I took a low dosage of Benadryl this morning. It's lunch time now and I feel run-down. Benadryl can only do so much I have grown to discover.
I know this might sound strange but when I go to the bathroom I normally use that time to think deeply about my life. Unbeknownst to me this morning, while on the toilet meditating I started to think about how amazing Dejah is. She is the smartest 5-year old I have ever known. Now, I'm not just saying that because she is my daughter. But if I really sit and ponder about her personality and her strength, I am jealous of her at times. This might sound crazy. Why would one be jealous of their 5-year old child? Well, she has had such a simple life thus far, yet she has been faced with various obstacles, & she still manages to adjust to each type of situation put before her. She is very caring and always worried about the feelings of the next person. As I mingle with other kids her age, I think to myself that I'm a very lucky mother. I haven't always been the best mother, but you would be surprised when you meet Dejah. She is the most well-rounded adjusted and stable child I have known. I feel like Dejah is going to be a very important figure in the eyes of the American people. I'm not sure just what that may be. She may be President of the United States of America or she may be the best renowned zoo-keeper (last time I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up, she told me she wanted to be a zoo-keeper). She may be a lawyer, stripper, or TV-talk show host. I'm not exactly sure what she is going to be when she gets older. But as Oprah would say, "What I know for sure is"......she is going to be quite successful. I just can't wait!!!

PEARL HARBOR VS. SEPT. 11th....
The Imperial Japanese Navy made its attack on Pearl Harbor on the morning of December 7, 1941. The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii, was aimed at the Pacific Fleet of the United States Navy and its defending Army Air Corps and Marine air forces. The attack damaged or destroyed twelve U.S. warships, destroyed 188 aircraft, and killed 2,403 American servicemen and 68 civilians.

All morning I have been searching for information to see which attack had more casualties. 9/11 or Pearl Harbor. Of course statistics vary from source to source. But overall I have learned today that 9/11 had approx. 400 more casualties than Pearl Harbor. I hope America has learned some lessons from these invasions and takes some serious vows to end terroism worldwide.
