IFLA: The “A Day Late” Edition of the horoscope for the Week of June 2

There are two BARCO alignments which, due to their nature I will summarize simply:

Jupiter retrograde in Sagittarius (Misrule) + Moon in Taurus (clumsiness) + Sun (greatness) = gigantic fuckup.

Mars in Cancer (low-level war) + Mercury in Taurus (delayed news) + Sun (greatness) + Saturn retrograde in Capricorn (stupidity) = news about a conflict, but false.

So, expect a news report from a “reliable” source about a conflict that will turn out to be bullshit.    I know, kind of a lame prediction, but neither of these alignments were very good either.

Gemini has a good week.  Cancer has to deal with cowardly little shits sniping.  And Taurus-born women will be unusually effective in their endeavors.  Not so much guys born under that sign though.

The cards don’t look particularly fun this week, either.  Lots of reversals, poor growing, enmity/opposition from both the medical and financial professions, attempts at one night stands will be unsuccessful.  The emphasis is on prudent stewardship of resources and personal/spiritual development.  The good news is, longer term plans made this week will be successful.  Keep company with a dog.

Gemini:  Ace of Swords, reversed –  Pyrrhic victory, disaster

Cancer:  The Sun, reversed –  Diminishment, withering

Leo:  Page of Swords – Supervision, weasley bastard working in your interest

Virgo:  King of Cups, reversed – A dishonest man, scandal, vice, double-dealing, injustice, pillage, roguery

Libra:  King of Coins, reversed – Vice, ugliness, corruption, peril, perversity

Scorpio:  Knight of Wands, reversed – rupture, division, interruption, discord

Sagittarius:  3 of Coins, reversed –  Mediocrity in work, pettiness, weakness

Capricorn:  6 of Cups, reversed – Renewal, events coming to fruition

Aquarius:  Knight of Swords – Skill, bravery, capacity, defense, address, enmity, wrath, war, destruction, opposition, resistance, ruin.

Pisces:  7 of Coins – money, business, barter, successful investment, harvest

Aries:  4 of Swords, reversed – Wise administration, circumspection, economy, avarice, precaution, testament.

Taurus:  The Hierophant –  Seeking beyond, removing limitations, triumph of the overt over the covert.

    That’s 3 crappy horoscopes in a row. You’re fired!

    1. AlmightyJB
    2. Not Adahn

      Have you stopped to consider that the person engaging in the pillaging and roguery might be you?

      1. Even then, the consequences are not fun either.

      2. AlmightyJB

        Seeing how that’s every week, it didn’t cross my mind:) lol

    3. Homple

      “Virgo: King of Cups, reversed – A dishonest man, scandal, vice, double-dealing, injustice, pillage, roguery”

      Not Adahn cheated and looked at my weekly planner page.

    “Libra: King of Coins, reversed – Vice, ugliness, corruption, peril, perversity”

    So OMWC is going to make a surprise visit? Good to know. I’ll need to lock up my orphans.

    1. Old Man With Candy

      My intention is to decimate the decent part of your wine collection. The orphans are on their own.

      1. Spudalicious

        I don’t know that either one of us is in any kind of shape to accomplish that goal.

        1. Old Man With Candy

          Goddam, aging sucks. I’m thinking that one of our regular LA Friday nights or Bay Area Sundays at your place would kill us now.

          1. Spudalicious

            I think that’s the bodies self defense mechanism against our lack of common sense.

    2. AlmightyJB

      You should probably avoid a trip to the DR with that horoscope.

      https://www.foxnews.com/us/maryland-couple-found-dead-in-their-hotel-room-in-dominican-republic

  3. Not Adahn

    CNN reported that a spokesman for the Dominican Republic National Police, Frank Felix Duran Mejia, said there was no evidence of violence.

    Yes, a couple peacefully dying of natural causes in their hotel room. Happens all the time.

    1. Heroic Mulatto

      The bodies of Holmes, 63, and Day, 49

      I’m guessing a bad batch of “Spanish Fly”.

      1. Don Escaped Texas

        she had “burns” ?

  4. Sean

    “Diminishment, withering”

    Should I take some Viagra?

  5. Don Escaped Texas

    Capricorn: 6 of Cups, reversed – Renewal, events coming to fruition

    yup: carpet’s vacuumed

  6. Heroic Mulatto

    I don’t always get erect over the Euro import scene, but when I do, I pop a boner over a Porsche 911 in British racing green. Though, first thing I’d do is pop a set of 2 piece forged Outlaw wheels from fifteen52 on that bad boy.

    1. AlmightyJB

      When I was in high school the Porsche 911 and Ferrari 308 both seemed pretty popular. But the Lamborghini was higher on the food chain.

      1. AlmightyJB

        I’m talking from a pop culture standpoint.

      2. Homple

        The John Deere 3020 for my crowd.

        1. MikeS

          5020 or GTFO

    2. You are a man of taste and refinement.

    3. I look down my nose at 911s generally, but that is a pretty car.

  7. Pope Jimbo

    OK. Animated fist of power is gone. But that was fun.

    1. Gustave Lytton

      Did gosh get catbutted, or are you catbutting the rest of us?

      1. Gustave Lytton

        Stupid autocorrect, *did you

        1. Donation Not Taxation

          How did you misspell “you” that got autocorrected to “gosh”?

  8. Don Escaped Texas

    Germany has “royals” too

    fuck aristocracy

    also, she looks more German than he does

    1. Suthenboy

      “marries his American Model girlfriend after he split from Real Housewives of New York City star…”

      Classy.

      1. Not Adahn

        At least he’s not beheading them when they get fat.

        1. AlmightyJB

          He does look the type

        2. Suthenboy

          How do you know? They haven’t gotten fat yet.

      2. I know rite, dude gets divorced 12 years ago dates someone, it doesn’t work out, meets a new woman dates her for four years then marries her, what a piece of shit.

    2. Gustave Lytton

      That’s one of worst written articles I’ve read.

    3. Florida Man

      My great shame of British decent is that we did not hang the royal family. To be fair, my ancestors left 400 years ago, so I guess it wasn’t their problem anymore.

    4. Homple

      There are some good ones. Albert Maria Lamoral Miguel Johannes Gabriel, 12th Prince of Thurn and Taxis owns a brewery. That’s my kind of aristocrat.

      1. Not Adahn

        Huh. I would have thought the Prince of Taxis would be from London or NYC.

    5. kbolino

      The titles aren’t banned like they are in the U.S. but are otherwise meaningless. There’s no legal privileges attached to them, not even the ability to get a stipend or represent the country in symbolic affairs.

  9. “Vice, ugliness, corruption, peril, perversity”

    Libra gets screwed again.

    1. commodious spittoon

      Or does some screwing, maybe?

    2. Spudalicious

      Could mean we’re going to snap and go all Tony Soprano on someone’s ass.

  10. “Supervision, weasley bastard working in your interest”

    Like, I’m being supervised or I’m supervising someone else? Because the wife’s back in town and either way that goes doesn’t turn out well. But at least the weasley bastards in my life will be working for me this time, so that’s something.

    1. R C Dean

      Just another week in the Legal Department.

  11. 61North

    Alright, so I’m house hunting and have a realtor and she texted me last night that she was social media stalking me and couldn’t find me anywhere. Is this normal these days? I’m not on any of that nonsense, so when I read about people sliding into DMs or instagrams or whatever, it’s like talking about elevator repair in French to me, I just don’t get it.

    And no, she’s happily married and has 15? years on me.

    1. Fuck social media. Aside from this place, I don’t interact with anyone online.

      1. 61North

        I post on a site than spun-off from a college football forum most days and weekends here. That’s it.

        Someone who is very clearly not me comes up when my name is googled, and I’m fine with that.

      2. DrOtto

        So much this. I also get my news from here.

        1. That’s a bit twisted, donchathink?

          1. Akira

            If my only source of news was Glibertarians and things that are linked from here, I’d still be getting a far more accurate picture than those who only get news from CNN and the New York Times.

          2. DrOtto

            I’m still better informed than my wife who listens solely to Fox news. She hadn’t even heard of the guy who shot himself in the testicles and pooped a bag of weed.

          3. mikey

            You got a link for that?

    2. Raven Nation

      It does seem to be the norm, but there’s no reason you have to participate.

    3. Not Adahn

      Yes, realtors want to “establish a relationship” with their clients. I guess they’re fishing for recommendations to new marks clients?

      1. 61North

        That’s what a friend said when I asked him about it. I’d be more than happy to recommend her even though I’m 0-5 right now on houses, but that’s more due to being cheap.

    4. Scruffy Nerfherder

      It’s normal, particularly for realtors these days.

      1. 61North

        I guess it’s the modern version of having a client put your business card on the church bulletin board.

    5. Don Escaped Texas

      we’re talking about a profession where people have their picture on their business cards

      so I’m sure this is another frivolous social deal that is normal to them

      1. 61North

        Principal Skinner: Why, there are no children here at the 4H club, either! Am I so out of touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong.

        1. First man: When I was young, I was a member of the 4H club.
          Second man: When I was young, I joined the Mile High Club, but I could never last four hours.

    6. Fatty Bolger

      Welcome to Cougar Town.

  12. Have you heard the one about the unoriginal Indian chef? He was a naan conformist.

    1. Not Adahn

      I met a guy at work last week. Subcontinental guy, normal haircut, but a steel bangle on his wrist. Now I’m wondering if he just isn’t a very frum Sikh, or if there’s some sort of reformed variant he belongs to. I didn’t ask, since I never discuss politics or religion at work.

    2. 61North

      Booooooo

    3. AlmightyJB

      Why did the Amish girl get shunned?

      Too Mennonite.

      1. 61North

        That’s really good. I grew up near Amish Country and never heard that. Definitely stealing it and not giving credit.

        1. AlmightyJB

          Well I stole it from Hitchens:) lol

    4. Florida Man

      I was at work when a Muslim guy was asking a gay man to explain how Jesus could be god at the same time. Good times.

      1. Suthenboy

        I knew the gist of it but couldn’t remember so I looked it up.

        “The easy confidence with which I know another man’s religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.”

        – Samuel Clemens

        1. 61North

          Did you ever read his Innocents Abroad travelogue?

          1. Suthenboy

            Yes but long ago. I read most of his stuff when I was a young teenager. What I remember most is his cussing and spitting about royals and other such elites and how corruption made it near impossible to travel around Russia. Some asshole in a uniform jumped out from behind every bush demanding a bribe.

          2. 61North

            I lived in the Middle East and got a good laugh on how nothing has changed in 150 or so years.

          3. Suthenboy

            150? Multiply that times a hundred…at least.

          4. 61North

            True

          5. Suthenboy

            “Archeologists have discovered the ruins of a city at least 15,000 years old in the Middle East. They tell us that from what they see life there must have been violent and brutal.
            How things have changed in only 15,000 years.”

            – Jay Leno joke from way back when such a place was discovered.

  13. Florida Man

    I just noticed a guy at the bar I’m in is wearing a MAGA hat. First one I’ve seen in the wild.

    1. AlmightyJB

      Wife and I saw an old guy at a bar in Wheeling, WV with one a year or two ago. Only one I recall seeing outside of intertubes.

    2. 61North

      I have seen a few around Anchorage, mostly on older burly blue collar looking types who look like they’d have no problem whuppin anyone who tried to take it.

    3. Playa Manhattan

      Is it too early to be in a bar?

      No, it’s the children who are wrong.

      1. 61North

        Bars here don’t open until ten on Sundays. It’s nonsense.

        1. Florida Man

          Last I visited my mom she was talking about Sunday laws and said “if you need to drink so bad, buy it Saturday”. I said “exactly. It’s a useless law so repeal it”. That wasn’t the response she was looking for.

        2. Gustave Lytton

          I’m surprised. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but my first view of Wasilla was a huge sign advertising interlocks. Around here, interlocks on billboards would be the concrete stones used for landscaping. Noticed a lot of DUI related advertising- attorneys etc in the short time I was there.

          1. 61North

            Wasilla is in the Mat-Su borough, so different laws than Anchorage. And yeah, there’s a lot of drinking and driving up here. I think it’s a combo of ‘fuck you, government’ and lack of law enforcement outside of the cities and towns.

      2. Florida Man

        Nice call back.

      3. Timeloose

        Way ahead of you. There was a one year old’s birthday in the back room of the bar I was at. Genius, the adults had a place to have a few cold ones while little Jill gets her sponge bob cake.

        1. Any time we have a party for anything, including children’s birthdays, my wife’s family hosts at one of their houses, everyone comes (100+ people, minimum, not counting friends), and we drink and grill all day. If kids are old enough to clear the fence, we assume they’re old enough to take care of themselves. Any time ten of these people are in a room together G&T’s and beer start appearing out of thin air.

    4. I saw one two years ago at a Pennsylvania gas station. Only one I’ve seen in the wild.

    5. JaimeRoberto: Gentleman, Scholar, French Tickler

      I was in a roadside cafe last weekend that had a “Proud Deplorable” bumper sticker behind the bar. No MAGA hat though. They also had a sign that said that they don’t serve liquor to Indians. Not sure if it was a joke. My daughter and her friend were puzzled by it.

    6. CPRM

      I saw an old guy wearing one at a local restaurant. Him and the cook were shooting the shit. The cook is a Mexican immigrant. I was dissapoint.

      1. Legal or illegal? It’s am important distinction.

        1. CPRM

          I didn’t ask for his papers.

          1. So how do you know if the guy in the MAGA hat was supposed to be here?

            What sort of jackbooted enforcer are you?

    7. My wife tells me that on Rt. 2 crossing into Calvert County there’s a billboard that will have some message from “Calvert County Deplorables”, like this. Up here I’ve never seen any MAGA hats, although I have seen Trump bumper stickers.

    8. My dad has one, he went to the local Trump 2016 office during the campaign to get a hat and a yard sign but they were out of hats and directed him to the online store. The MAGA hats were like thirty bucks so he found a Chinese version for $9.99 or something.

  14. Timeloose

    Sunday at the Beer bar. As usual they have Great stuff on tap. They have a beer store attached that is the size of a NYC grocery store.

    Mikkeller sours, IPA’s, stouts and porters, and standard German lagers and wheats.

    The wife and I just spent 140$ on beer in the store and the APV on each beer was over 8% so it’s time to go closer to home.

  15. Bob Boberson

    Go homeENB, you’re drunk.

    1. 61North

      I mean, I’m fairly buzzed for a Sunday morning and this makes no sense.

      Also, this whole “human trafficking” or “sex trafficking” is the replacement for terrorism to keep them sweet sweet fed dollars flowing to state and local cops. 1% fire and 99% smoke.

      1. Bob Boberson

        Forget it man, it’s Reasontown. The R’s and D’s are always morally equivalent I\even if one has to violate every law of logic to make them so.

        1. Not Adahn

          No no, it’s just the progressive D’s that are as bad as the R’s. The rest are totes kewl.

          1. Bob Boberson

            Ah that’s right. Being a 1990’s Democrat was to be a part of the most libertarian movement in US History.

          2. Winston

            Being a 1990’s Democrat was to be a part of the most libertarian movement in US History.

            But NAFTA and surpluses that still caused the debt to increase!

    2. Suthenboy

      I see someone challenged her o n that and got no response.

    3. I don’t even know what she’s talking about.

      But I do like her new, more serious look. I thought the dyed hair was too young, especially when she makes such a fantastic MILF.

    1. Florida Man

      I’ve watched a few of those kids videos. I’m surprised YouTube hasn’t shut him down.

      1. Not Adahn

        As long as this guy is still around, styro is safe

          A lot of his stuff has been demonitized. Fortunately he has diversified his business, plus has a veterinary practice.

  16. Winston

    “‘One thing you see around the world is liberty cannot survive in a system where people hate each other and where there is no virtue,’ he continued. ‘You can’t have a system like that.’”

    Oh Dear…

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_of_Terror

    Robespierre in February 1794 in a speech explained the necessity of terror:

    If the basis of popular government in peacetime is virtue, the basis of popular government during a revolution is both virtue and terror; virtue, without which terror is baneful; terror, without which virtue is powerless. Terror is nothing more than speedy, severe and inflexible justice; it is thus an emanation of virtue; it is less a principle in itself, than a consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing needs of the patrie [homeland, fatherland].[7][4]

    Robespierre believed that the virtue needed for any democratic government was extremely lacking in the French people. As a result, he decided to weed out those he believed could never possess this virtue. The result was a continual push towards Terror. The Convention used this as justification for the course of action to “crush the enemies of the revolution, … let the laws be executed, … and let liberty be saved.”

    1. Fatty Bolger

      Nice catch. I instinctively despise that sort of argument. We know where it leads.

      I get a similar feeling every time we start hearing about how the country is “ungovernable.” What they really mean is that if people won’t willingly go along with what they want, then they should be forced to — for their own good, of course. Always for their own good.

    2. Bob Boberson

      AOCbelieved that the virtue needed for any democratic socialist government was extremely lacking in the American people. As a result, she decided to weed out those he believed could never possess this virtue. The result was a continual push towards Terror. The DNC, used this as justification for the course of action to “crush the enemies of the revolution, … let the laws be executed, … and let equality be saved.

      Accurate or am I reaching?

  17. Left Hand of Radar

    Fuck you, Not Adahn! I’m tired of Scorpio getting the shit-end of the stick! I’m even more sick of the fact that your predictions seem to be 100% on the mark. Damn your nimble card-flipping fingers!

  18. grrizzly

    Glenn Beck on Justin “I support the secret police coup to own the trumpkins” Amash.

    1. Winston

      We also need a secret police coup to bring virtue and end division like what happened in the Reign of Terror.

    2. Bob Boberson

      As one of the commenters in the thread pointed out; Beck is trying to wear a MAGA hat and a #nevertrump hat simultaneously. I don’t know what Amash’s primary motivation is but it seems odd that he’s decided todo this just as he’s peaked the interest of big “L” libertarians (TOS is all over his dick) and the likes of The Atlantic as an interesting little side show leading up to 2020. This right here is enough to make me dislike the guy:

      2018 H Res 1142 Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 6784) to provide for removal of the gray wolf in the contiguous 48 States from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife published under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, and providing for proceedings during the period from November 19, 2018, through November 26, 2018. Bill Passed – House
      (201 – 187) AMASH- Nay

      Fuck that, I had to live where these fuckers roamed when they were decimating livestock in the early 2000’s and livestock producers were SOL if they couldn’t definitively prove the a wolf killed their livestock (hint; free range stock just come in short, you rarely find the carcass and when you do there isn’t much left.)

      So fuck you Amash, you wolf loving POS.

  19. DenverJ

    I bought a couch, chest of drawers, and a gorgeous steel and reclaimed wood shel CVing unit yesterday (6 1/2′ tall and 5′ wide!) I can’t wait till it gets delivered Thursday.

    1. DenverJ

      Shelving, you stupid phone, shelving. Smart phone my ass.

      1. Sean

        How many ammo cans can it hold?

  20. hayeksplosives

    My right-hand man at work and I are in the desert in Dugway toiling in preparation for a high-stakes test. He’s the brilliant crazy guy with aggressive technical goals. I’m the manager who tempers his impulses and reduces risk.

    I’m an Aries so mine looks pretty good for our joint endeavor. He’s an Aquarius, and his starts out sounding exactly right but then takes a turn and eventually ends in “ruin”.

    Not so confident about the test now… we shall see.

    1. DenverJ

      It’s the desert, what could go wrong?

      1. Is it an ACME explosive?

        (Sorry, Hayek; I probably shouldn’t be joking about explosives going wrong.)

        1. hayeksplosives

          It’s not ACME, it’s of our own making. No explosions intended but we are about to crank up about 15 sticks of TNT worth of high voltage capacitors.

          Could get interesting, even in the desert. But that will start tomorrow. This week and weekend has all been build and prep.

          Dinner time now so we are grilling. Woot!

          Then we will do a relatively low voltage checkout to make sure everything is playing nice.

          1. The Bearded Hobbit

            When I was running marxes I had a bumper sticker that said “Happiness is a 3ns Erection” meaning a marx erection with a 3ns risetime.

          2. hayeksplosives

            Never or rarely understood, I reckon

  21. Donation Not Taxation

    “Virgo: King of Cups, reversed – A dishonest man, scandal, vice, double-dealing, injustice, pillage, roguery

    Libra: King of Coins, reversed – Vice, ugliness, corruption, peril, perversity”
    According to Glibertarian news links, that would be government as usual, but all 12 signs would be affected.

  22. Gustave Lytton

    Well, back to chainsaw work. Hope my new possible CA neighbors love the sounds of a two stroke revving.
