Connection Is My Currency

I haven’t been following my horoscope at Free Will Astrology lately. I have felt not myself for so long, just unorganized and winging it. I said that to my daughter today, “Honestly, I’ve been winging it for weeks and weeks.” She nodded, because she’s smart and it’s pretty hard to hide the extent of the disorder my winging-it has caused. Happily I can say that I’m not sad anymore – I’m a different sort of distracted. It’s time to shake the cobwebs out and get my life in order again.
So, horoscope. The logical place to start any sort of get-it-together endeavor, right? Okay, maybe not, but they are fun and it’s late. Fun is all I’m up for. Here you go Leos and if you are one of those other less lucky, less royal-signs, you can find it here. (Just playing the role of Leo, I love all people born at any time, I promise).
French President Sarkozy’s best friend, advertising mogul Jacques Seguela, has an unusual way of measuring success. If you don’t own a Rolex watch by the time you’re 50, he says, you’re a failure. I’m inclined to propose the opposite: If you do have a Rolex watch, no matter what age you are, you’re probably a failure. To be attached to such a conspicuous status symbol is a sign that your values are dominated by the transitory trivialities of materialism. Where do you stand on the matter, Leo? It’s a good time to think about it, because you’re in a phase when clarifying your definitions of high achievement is important.
I have no Rolex-envy of any sort. Not a fan of the sort of status symbols you can buy. Sitting on the patio, in the Summer sun, surrounded by loved ones, that is my idea of success. I quest for love, never stuff. I measure wealth in kisses and hugs. Connection is my way of insuring future wealth. Cheesy, sure, but true.

I suppose that means I’m doing what I should be doing by figuring out where and what I want to be with my new man. Good to know I’m on track there.
