Gaining experience. [edited]

Valid during several days: During this period of time you will establish yourself with respect to the rest of the world. People will come to know who you are and what you are doing. At the same time this influence indicates that you have reached a point of equilibrium at which your actions and behavior toward others are reliable and consistent. You will not feel like surprising people with sudden or unpredictable actions, nor will you want others to surprise you. Your whole objective is to reach the point where all your affairs are running smoothly and on schedule. Your approach is disciplined, well ordered and mature. About the only problem with this influence is that you find it difficult to make changes conservatively. And if that response is inappropriate to the situation, you will have difficulty. You are not very flexible, but that is not usually a great problem.

At this time in your life, you are very concerned with gaining experience, particularly in your profession. You are likely to be ambitious and will work hard to get ahead and improve yourself. You will seek out people who can help you, and probably you will make very sure that you want to be fair and just, you don't want to be in debt to anyone. This is a time when self-sufficiency is very important to you.

This is reflected in your relationships also. You are somewhat more reserved than usual and cautious about forming new relationships. Usually this is to the good, although if you are too cautious you may overlook persons who could assist you. Older, more experienced people attract you especially, because you know you can learn from them. A person who will play a very important role as your teacher may come into your life at this time. But don't expect him or her to necessarily conform to your preconceived image of a teacher. He or she may come from any area of your life, and you may not recognize what has happened until later.

Well, Friday turned out to be a pleasant day.

In the wee hours of the morning, I made a nice little birthday card with one of my holiday photos, and mailed it off to the ex-boyfriend. Hehehehehe. Yeah, I'm into cheap thrills, can anot?

The morning mail at work had an interesting opportunity for me: was asked if I would be interested in proofreading a medical textbook (outside of my job). For some reason, was reminded about Greta's story in Personal Velocity.

Dinner went well -- and my friend paid for it. Hehe. I don't know if it's a day for realisations, but as we talked as we used to, I felt a certain part of me detach to stand at the edge of the conversation, observing and assessing. And the 'new' perspective was...interesting.

On my way home, Mr E called, just to say hi :-)
