Title: Valentine's around the corner...Do you really care?
Post by: Parker on January 05, 2007, 04:27:24 AM
Many women care, because it's "their" one day, when its all about them. Bubblebaths, Tiffany's, La Perla, Artgentinean rose petals, apricot pedicures, come to mind. But some women ( a very small minority) don't because, they believe that Valentine's Day should be every day, meaning that every day they should be treated right. The thinking is, if he was a f-up for 364 days of the year, one day is not going to change it.

Your thoughts on both points....

This particular day is a perfect example of another commercialized day. On a regular day, 1 dozen red roses costs me 45.00 bucks. On valentines day the same bouquet costs me 70.00 bucks. Go figure. As for the day itself, I look at it as the time to really go all out for you and your signifigant other. Take the time to do a romantic thing together. But you are right, one's signifigant other should be treated with special care everyday. Roses should be sent for no reason, etc.

I care if I have a boyfriend, I don't care if I'm single. This year nothing would make me happier than to be snuggled up in my honey's arms. I don't care about roses, jewelry, or other expensive gifts, I just want to be with him. That's what it's all about for me. Oh yeah, and chocolate, I didn't say I don't care about chocolate...can't have it, but I want it...

Me too, Parker!!! 10yrs, 20 yrs, and so on!! 

(I'm not being "concieted" with what I said...I just mean I get true love everyday from Bob, and thats all I really want)

I'm with Buff...this Valentine's day will be me, my new daughter, and my husband.  It will be a nice day to just spend time and lay around in bed.  Flower, candy, and gifts are nice...but not required to make my day perfect.  I prefer time with the two most important loves in my life over anything materialistic.

It means far more to me to get a single rose on any other day of the year other than Valentines day!!  To me getting a rose and a card on that day is not special at all.  I would prefer a hand written note or a note left somewhere for me to find!  Anyone can go and buy the prettiest card with the nicest verse, but make it up! Now that is something.

I'm always sharing these notes from the past but, my ex-husband  did something incredible one year for Valentines day. We were so broke we couldn't pay attention, so the guy worked for 2 days for this chop-shop to buy me a ruby ring and stopped by the side of the road to pick wild flowers. (okay, this is southern cali) To see a big macho guy by the side of the road picking wild flowers, that was epic. My current (and hopefully the last man I'll ever be with) has something epic planned for a late Valentines Day. You girls know the scoop and who I'm speaking of. I'm forgiven and I swear I will never "Bitch Out" again. The reality of losing him was way too painful. If I could just be in his arms on Valentines Day I would be the happiest girl on earth.

I don't care.  Valentine's Day is a commercialized, materialistic holiday that has no true meaning in the whole scheme of things.  It almost seems as though a few women at Hallmark and Zales concocted this little idea.  Look, if two people within a relationship want romance, then they should be able to create it at any point in the year without being told that this is the one day to do it.  If a man has to be told to do something, then the action isn't worth having/experiencing.

I've been single on the majority of Valentine's Days.  And I've spent most of those evenings in the gym.

I don't get it  ???. I thought that woman would love to get their hearts romanced and pampered on this particular day? A nice romantic candlelight dinner, a bottle of red, a night of passion, if you life in a warm place you could take a romantic walk in the beach, and yes JAG....chocolate ::) No? Sorry to say, but your male counterparts need a tune-up if they can't take the time to make their lady feel special.

I can understand all the hype associated with Valentines Day, but what I am saying is that it would mean sooooo much more to me if my man did something as romantic on any other absolutely any other day of the year!!  It isnt like my man doesnt want to do I have just "let him off the hook" so to speak so as he doesnt feel pressured into performing on the 14th February ha ha!!  I am a fairly simple girl and it doesnt take much more than a few kind words to make me happy.  To me it is like sending Christmas cards to absolutely everyone in your address book when you havent even bothered to contact them at any other time (shallow).  But having said all that all you ladies and guys that love the 14th February I hope you have a gorgeous nite, I really do mean that.  It just isnt for me is all.

Playboy, it's like this. If a guy ignores you, or takes you for granted 364 days out of the year, having him 'fulfill and obligation' on 1 day out of the year doesn't make it special. It's like some burden he begrudgingly does. Don't get me wrong. If the guy is wonderful, and goes all out to make things special it's appreciated, ...but it's hard to feel romantic when it only comes one day out of the year. We women like to know that we are in his thoughts often, so sending a rose on a day other than Valentine's Day can be very special.

Which comes to the question...."WHY ARE YOU WITH THIS PERSON?"

If the person is not treating the way you want, 364 days of the year...why be with that person. I wouldn't be. I would sooner be alone than be with that person...

My thinking exactly. Why are they with these men??? I also agree with the ladies in saying that that treatment should happen all year round. In both ways too. Men like to feel special once in a while too  ;)

I think you're right Playboy, it does work both ways... and it's often more fun to please someone than to be pleased. Plus women are often more creative and better at organizing such things. I have a hard time coming up with the "best" valentine, but up there is definitely one of my own doing... called the man at 10:30 a.m. and lured him into meeting me at a certain restaurant for lunch, which wasn't easy as he was busy at work, then when he arrived, brought him instead to the hotel next door where I had booked a suite that morning.  We only had forty-five minutes...  the rest of the afternoon I kept hearing "what the hell happened to your hair?" By 5:30 p.m. we were both weaving in and out of traffic like crazy people, racing to get back there. (Just in case you're strapped for ideas this year guys, that was a good one.)

Probably the biggest downside to Valentine's Day for women is that at some point, some year, you're bound to receive a purple and red lingerie item.  :-X

Forbidden, I'm with you.  Getting something when it is unexpected is so much more fun and exciting than having the expectations (and disappointments) that you are suppose to get something on Valentine's Day (it doesn't matter if you are male or female).  Sometimes my boyfriend will surprise me with flowers waiting for me on my kitchen table when I come home from work, or if it is summer, he will cut the grass for me, or rake the leaves in the Fall or shovel the snow off my driveway or sidewalk in Winter.  That means more to me than anything.  We may exchange cards on VD but we have a pact - no presents.

Moon in Capricorn

Today, the first new moon of the year occurs at 11:01 PM in Capricorn! This is like the New Year all over again. This day launches the next few days as a time of new beginnings. If you would like to start something, then this is your cycle between now and February 2 to get started. Capricorn helps you to plan well.

This is an interesting new moon because it begins a void of course cycle that lasts until tomorrow at 1:16 A.M. That is a very unique way to start 2007. In some instances it means delayed reactions all over the world - false starts and even governmental bodies changing their plans (minds).

Adding to that is the Venus-Neptune conjunction in Aquarius which layers everything with a certain peculiarity. Many leaders will offer fanciful ideas without substance. More personally you may notice a lot of “pie in the sky” talk that could even annoy you. It is a time of being torn between reality and fantasy and while you may want the ideal, you still need to remain grounded.

The void of course is saying to wait and see how valid the promises and ideas are. What can you do with such a time? Use your inner guidance to let you know where you should go and what you should do. If something sounds too good to be true then do not invest either money or time in it. Let temptations fall by the wayside and stick with the tried and true.

The moon entering Aquarius at 1:16 A.M. is like a breath of fresh air that lightens the atmosphere of wherever you may be. The new moon energy is now on the move so expect some action to what might not have worked well yesterday.

Aquarius can sometimes cause a sense of detachment so do not be put off if others are not responding quickly to you. Remain composed and go forward with what you know needs to be done. Whatever your plans, make the effort to follow through even if you must do them alone. Some are distracted and seem to drift away from what you say.

This moon is triggering all the Mercury in Aquarius “thinking” so the abstract may be the theme in conversations. People think independently and can be obstinate. Not everyone will be able to handle everything that happens and simply short out. This will not be serious and any time lost can be recouped. Just move on and know that some will be regretful for their off-color statements or absence of mind.

Mercury and Jupiter are helping you and others to think originally so that is the good of what can happen today. Listen to those unusual ideas and see what is useful. Even with the peculiar there are some valid and productive concepts. By the later hours you will see how to make sense of it all and even use some of the seemingly strange concepts.

There can be financial progress today. Jupiter will open doors and new plans and ways to manage money is favored. Expansion that leads to a more lucrative end is probable. See how you can work with money for greater prosperity.

Moon in Aquarius

The Sun enters Aquarius today generating a spirit of greater understanding. This opens doors for a more unifying spirit both personally and for the world. The spirit of Aquarius for 2007 is one of personal development. The individual is of significance rather the usual concept of Aquarius which is mass consciousness. Evolution is recognized as truth resonating to likeness. This is also like another New Year beginning, so take advantage of the blessings it offers. In the Eastern Time zone, the Sun enters Aquarius at 6:00 A.M. so the day starts off with a brightness of mind and some excitement.

Use this day to launch your new plans and start to make new connections.

The Moon, Neptune and Venus are conjunct, causing a major creative theme to unfold in the mind and also for group efforts. This is the type of energy that makes for the writing of phenomenal movie scripts and deep poetic works.

From the depth of each there is a resonating cord of reality that is likely to be recognized. This could be the likeness of all life, the dreams of the many, or the common denominator of all people. By tapping into those deep dreams and desires today you are tapping into the universal mind.

The ideal in concept is the best way to remain focused. Saturn could cause doubt, so hold to your faith in the greater possible reality and avoid negative thinking.

Moon in Aquarius-Pisces

From midnight until 3:48 A.M. the moon is void of course. That is a short time and certainly appropriate for it gives the spirit a chance to rest and your inner clock time to reset. The powerful vibrations this week triggers the circadian rhythms, so these are the hours to let yourself resonate to nature.

At that time of 3:48 A.M. the moon enters Pisces and is ushering in an energetic and harmonious time to begin anew. This is like a new day with a renewed spirit and even a strong desire to get going with life in general.

Practically, and in the mundane world of necessities, if you are planning to get around to an exercise plan – this is the time to do just that. The power of Pluto and Mars and here for you now and you can find just the right program and start it.

The Pisces moon is helping you to see your goal as you work toward it so use this day to visualize and see what you want for yourself manifesting. It is easier now to see the fulfilled dream. Be sure as you are out and about and taking the initiative so as not to let your mind drift from the vision – in other words, stay on track and keep the target in mind. Aimless drifting is a waste of this energy. Optimism is abundant and just a bit of initiation of it really opens big doors.

Simply put, what you start today has long term and sustaining results.

Greetings Aquarians!

Your personal cycle begins Saturday, January 20, when the Sun enters your personal domain. Inspiring Neptune is in your sign to help you become more at peace and gain greater insight into exactly what you need to know and where you want to go. Saturn in Leo is still challenging you to make changes, so see the truth of what is needed and take care of business.

For all, this transit of the Sun through Aquarius is keeping the inspiration going for each of you throughout the month.

The blend of celestial movements this week shows you that you have many options and opening doors to a long future ahead. The Capricorn new moon helps you to ground and get underway toward an ideal. You are being shown that there are ways around limitations and new vistas to see and explore. It will not surprise me in the least to hear from you that you have begun to venture where you have only dreamed and not thought possible. The dream can become the reality this year.

Hope and inspiration is a theme, and while there may be waffling and indecision from some leaders, this will not change the personal commitments of individuals and the global tribe of people in this Aquarian age. This is a significant week for such realizations and knowledge of the strength of human nature to gravitate toward harmony. The hurdle is the fact that each has a humane and spiritual side, and the way over the hurdle is acceptance of that reality. Let us all leap forward toward a greater world of humaneness and peace.

Key words: Harmony; Newness; Solidify; Foundation

Mantra: I start on solid ground and I know the ideal path before me.

Visualization: Freshly tilled soil ready for planting is bathed with the bright light of the rising sun.

Colors and stones: silver; light blues; shimmering hues; iridescent; rainbow; aqua marine

Wishing you bright new beginnings with positive visions of the future…

Yours in Truth,

Sandra

Your Time Table:

For your convenience, listed here are primary global times with instructions for use. Every location is different and the times listed herein of the celestial alignments are the exact peak of the energy, meaning the influence is over at that time. The energy is active prior to that time and date. Some stellar influences can last for several days to several weeks. Times for this week are set for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) that may also be called Universal Time (UT) and Eastern Daylight Tim (EDT). I use GMT or UT for publications because it is easier for everyone globally. The table shows how you may add or subtract hours in relation to your location, i.e., for the Eastern Standard Time zone you would subtract 5 hours from GMT. I know that when I am having breakfast on the east coast of the US, my British friends are having lunch. If you think back to New Year's Eve celebrations, the media broadcasted celebrations around the world in different time zones - zone by zone for a 24 hour period. Our Earth time is based on the starting point in Greenwich, England and all formal coordinates are founded from that, such as militaries, ships and so on. There is the matter of Daylight Savings Time or Summer Time to consider. While in the US, one hour should be added to the time tables. Some countries may have double or even triple Summer Time such as Israel, so check in your local area for these conversions. In astrology, a celestial event may be occurring on different calendar dates in different countries on Earth. What may be a planetary alignment in the US on one day could very well be happening the next day in Russia or Tibet. By using the most universal time possible, everyone, everywhere will be able to take full advantage of these stellar alignments.

So, with all that said, here is your Time Zone Table:

TIME ZONES

Take UT and add or subtract the following hours listed.

Minus ( - ) means to subtract;

Plus ( + ) means to add in relation to GMT and UT time.

Example: When it is noon is England it is 9 P.M. in Japan.

Check your local area for Daylight Savings and Summer Times

International Date Line East (IDLE) + 12 hours

New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) + 12 hours

Guam Standard Time (GST) + 10 hours

I personally don't want flowers given to be because it happens to be February 14th and it is something the sig other feels they "have" to do because of the date.  I hate that shit more than anything because if it's something they can't do on any other day (just because they were thinking of you and love you) and feel "oh shit it's Valentines Day, I gotta sink $60 on flowers".

I don't want them.   >:(

That really all depends on the guy you're with. A guy that really cares for his siginifigant other will do whatever it takes to make her feel special every single day.
