Pleasure could come with complications today. As the optimistic Libra Moon fusses at gloomy Saturn, every good idea could rapidly turn out to have something wrong with it. Still, when desirous Venus then misreads exuberant Jupiter at 1:08 pm EST, trying to pursue too many appealing activities might result in enjoying none of them fully. While Luna goes on to trine Jupiter and square Venus, the most rewarding choice may not be the one we expected — leaving room for spontaneity is essential!

I think they need to move Jimmy for a quality young point guard and some draft capital ASAP.

Rent increases are forcing many Florida seniors to move, and they’re among the hardest hit in the country, a new survey suggests.
The new survey from Retirement Living, an Oklahoma-based retirement planning company, used U.S. Census data to show more than 35% of seniors age 65 and older in Florida reported “feeling pressured” to move in the past six months due to rent increases. That’s nearly three times the national rate of 12.3%, it said.
