I get my horoscope in my inbox daily from a couple different sources, but I have to say, I think I like Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology the best.  He's not really the typical woo-woo prediction type astrologer, and his horoscopes are generally food for thought.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) :
In recent decades, many British people with unfortunate surnames have changed them. There are now 40 percent fewer Shufflebottoms, while the numbers of Cockshotts and Smellies have also declined precipitously. Meanwhile, back in the U.S., the government has re-branded its notorious Global War on Terror, shifting to the more palatable "Overseas Contingency Operation." I hold these examples up for your inspiration, Taurus. It's a good time to alter any name or title you've outgrown, as well as any label that no longer fits or any category you'd like to leave behind.

Hmm.  I'm having trouble thinking of anywhere I haven't already done this.  Still good advice though.

Strawberry Moon is up over at Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, and as I've been itching for a strawberry scent since oh, some time LAST spring, I will definitely be putting in an order.  I also like the sounds of Boadicea, so I'm pondering a bottle of that as well.

Today's BPAL is Sri Lanka.  I just randomly picked out an imp I hadn't tried yet, but I'm very pleasantly surprised by this one.  The Lab description is "Indian sandalwood and cedar, and the dry incense smoke of olibanum, gum mastic, patchouli and myrrh".  Given the ingredients, it's not surprising I'm liking it - I adore incense-y type scents, as well as sandalwood and patchouli.
