Relatively Boring Week of Astrology Ahead

We are heading into a boring week of astrology, compared to the shit storm we’ve endured for the past 30 or so weeks. That doesn’t mean that things will be ducky; everything may go just fine; less activity just gives me less to write about.

By imaginary I mean that it exists only in the minds of astrologers, and in astrology programs. It’s a hypothetical point that I started following only due to a software update that included it a few years back — and it’s proven to be interesting.
