Mother Metis,
There's a daughter of Venus trying to set up somebody with me. I want to find love in my own time, but I don't want to hurt her feelings. How can I stop her from trying to set me up.
~ Girl in Need
Try pulling that daughter of Venus aside and asking her to point-blank stop. Tell her that she's making you embarressed or hurting your feelings. Nothing stops a daughter of Venus than hurting her friends. She'll understand and stop.
|
Dear Metis,
I'm afraid of meeting some of my half-siblings, because I think it might be awkward. Help me get rid of my fear please, because I would like to know them.
~Afraid of Half-Siblings
Ah, the ever awkward moment of meeting your half-sibling. At first, it may seem like an enduring task, but once you break the barriers of having a different parent, you'll notice that after a while, it will feel like they're your blood sibling.

|

Take it slowly and see what happens.
|
Cancer
|
Are you involved in an ambitious, creative project of some kind, Cancer? You might have so much to do that you decide to take on a partner, if you haven't already. When you and this person work together, the whole is definitely greater than the sum of the parts. Without him or her, you might try to do the whole project yourself, which won't do you or the project any good.
|
Gemini
|
A burst of physical energy might have you spending hours working out today, Gemini. You might decide to try a new and ambitious exercise program. Take care not to push yourself past your limits. A heightened sense of adventure combines with a powerful desire to be fit, and it might drive you to exhaustion if you aren't careful. You have to learn to crawl before you learn to walk.
|
Capricorn
|
You tend to be an adventurous soul by nature, Capricorn. Today the desire to do something you've never done before could be overwhelming. You might toy with outrageous ideas like learning to skydive or bungee jump. You probably you won't go that far, but you could opt for something like river rafting or mountain climbing. You have a lot of options open to you. Think about them.
Leo
|
The desire to improve your home's appearance might suddenly come over you today, Leo. Whether you're planning some redecorating, landscaping, refurnishing, or simply a thorough cleaning, you will probably take the bull by the horns and concentrate on nothing else. The results will speak for themselves. Get family members to help you. You won't want to be too tired to enjoy what you've done.
|
Libra
|
A financial windfall might come your way, Libra. This may not be a lottery win or surprise inheritance. It's probably something you've worked hard for, but more than you expected. As a result, you could walk around in a daze for much of the day. Don't try to make plans for it. Put it aside until you're used to the idea of having it. Only then will your practical nature kick in.
|
Pisces
|
Your innate sense of adventure is active today, Pisces. Travel is on your mind. You and some friends may kick around ideas for an unconventional trip to an exotic place, such as sailing to Tahiti. The urge could pass, but it might not. Do some research and find out what your options really are. It might not work out as you visualized, but a little adventure could do you some good.
|
Sagittarius
|
Your subconscious mind is active today, Sagittarius, perhaps releasing old traumas from the past. Memories from long ago could pour into your mind as though floodgates were opened. Many of them won't be pleasant. This is good nonetheless. You're releasing obstacles caused by these memories. By the end of the day you will feel so much lighter. Make the most of it.
|
Scorpio
|
You're probably feeling full of energy, Scorpio, and looking for an outlet for it aside from the usual jog or workout. A hike along a scenic path would be just the thing. Phone a friend and see if you can arrange to do it together. Your friend will probably be as enthusiastic as you. You may enjoy yourselves so much that you decide to make it a weekly event.
|
Taurus
|
A social event could bring you into contact with some interesting people in fascinating fields, Taurus, some from distant places. Discussions could turn you on to one or more new interests, which you will probably want to pursue later. You might receive an invitation to visit an exotic place. If you're single, you could meet a potential lover. This will be an evening to remember
|
Virgo
|
Much of your day may be spent running around your neighborhood, Virgo, perhaps in the company of your partner. You may have a lot of errands to run, or perhaps you're just antsy and unwilling to spend the day indoors. Whichever it is, you may come into contact with some unusual people and events. Take a notebook and camera. You might want a record of it all.

1) How can it be? Half of nine is one plus three? How can it be true? Half of eleven is four plus two? Now can you see? Half of three is also three?
2) The man who invented it, doesn't want it for himself. The man who bought it, doesn't need it for himself. The man who needs it, doesn't know it when he needs it.
3) Where may you find roads without carts, forests without trees, cities without houses?
4) Completely round is fairly rare. Bright and shiny when I'm there. When I'm not, they call me new. But I'm old. Older than you.
5) What falls but never gets hurt?

How to Pick the Best Cereal
|
1) Sweet Tooth: Start with a no-sugar or low-sugar cereal and begin to add your own healthy sweet stuff. Add strawberries, bananas and any other sweet fruits.
2) Losing Weight: Pick a cereal with less than 150 calories per serving. Read the lable carefully and watch out for the serving sizes.
3) Whole-Grains: Grains vary in taste and they offer slightly different nutrients. The most important thing to do is to make sure that your cereal has at least sixteen grams of whole wheat.
4) Don't Like Milk: If you don't like milk sogging your cereal, there is another healthy way to get the nutrients. Plop a cup of Roman yogurt into your cereal bowl and enjoy!
5) Extra Fibers: All whole-wheat cereals have fiber, which is a good thing. Brown rice can lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Even add fruits to boost the benefits.

Megan pushed open the large door to the mansion, it creaked and echoed through the house. It was creepy and dark. She really didn't want to go in, but James was in here and she was not going to leave him alone.
She stepped in and had her hand on the hilt of her dagger, the large door slammed shut behind her and the force sent her face first into the dusty floor.
“Ew, ew, ew!!” She said. She jumped up wiping off the dust on her clothes and face - she hated dirt and dust. And this didn't make it any easier on her, especially with this old mansion full of bugs and dirt and dust. She shivered at the thought and kept on walking.
She had just realized it was pitch black in here, but she could see fine. Why am I able to see perfectly? She thought and shook her head and let the thought pass, she couldn't be thinking about who her godly parent was while she was trying to find James.
“Hey!” She heard someone yell at her, she looked up and sitting on the railing was a boy. Megan was surprised he could see her, he jumped down from the high railing and landed in front of her. He had black shaggy hair and black almond eyes with white skin, he wore a white t-shirt with blue jeans and wore a baseball hat that was on backwards. He had a sword strapped to his side and he looked like trouble.
“What are you doing in this mansion, little lady?” He said to Megan with a smirk, she instantly grabbed her dagger and was ready to fight this jerk.
“I'm trying to find my friend? Know anything about a boy who happened to be dragged in here against his will?” Megan asked with an annoyed tone in her voice, she already hated this guy and she didn't even know his name.
“I might have, I wasn't really paying attention. But I did hear some noise coming from the basement. But it's locked, so why don't you just stay up here with me?” He said and the smirked turned into a grin, Megan growled and in a flash a slit made its appearance on the boys cheek.
“Don't you ever try to flirt with me again or else I will personally kill you.” Megan said and put her dagger back into its sheath. The boy touched the slit on his cheek and grinned.
“I like a girl who's feisty. But I can tell that you don't like me, but sadly I am the only one who knows how to save your friend.” He said with a smirk and turned on his heel and started to walk away, Megan instantly grabbed his arm and he turned around to look at her.
“If you help me find my friend-” A sour taste crept into her mouth, she hated to say this. But if his guy was a big flirt. Then she knew how to get him to help her.
“-I'll let you kiss me.” She said and shivered, a smirk appeared on his face and he gave a nod.
“A deal it is!” He said and Megan sighed.
“So, where do we start?” She asked, they heard a scream from upstairs and it was a girl scream. James did not scream like a girl. Looks like there's others in this mansion too.
“Second floor Milady, please lead the way.” The boy said and the two made their way to the staircase and headed up. . .
