The practical Taurus Moon helps to ease the pressure today, but the underlying problem might not be resolved as relationship dynamics may be tested. Fortunately, we receive cosmic assistance from flirty Venus when she slips into whimsical Gemini, encouraging us to be more lighthearted. But tense aspects from the Sun and the Moon to taskmaster Saturn indicate there's still more work ahead.
Imal has once reached maturity, and especially when it has gained
experience by several years of an eventful existence, it may be able to
maintain itself under conditions which would be fatal to a young and
inexperienced creature of the same species. The examples adduced by Mr.
Mivart do not, therefore, in any way impugn the hardness of nature as a
taskmaster, or the extreme severity of the recurring struggle for
existence. (See _Nature_, vol. xxxix. p. 127.)] [Footnote 46: _Origin of
Species,_ p. 72.] [Footnote 47: Darwin's latest expression of opinion on
this question is interesting, since it shows that he was inclined to
return to his earlier view of the general, or universal, utility of
specific characters. In a letter to Semper (30th Nov. 1878) he writes:
"As our knowledge advances, very slight differences, considered by
systematists as of no importance in structure, are continually found to
be functionally important; and I have been especially struck with this
fact in the case of plants, to which my observations have, of late
years, been confined. Therefore it seems to me rather rash to consider
slight differences between representative species, for instance, those
inhabiting the different islands of the same archipelago, as of no
functional importance, and as not in any way due to natural selection"

Animals and Plants_, vol. i. p. 86.] [Footnote 49: _Journal of the
Linnean Society, Zoology,_ vol. xx. p. 215.] [Footnote 50: In Mr.
Gulick's last paper (_Journal of Linn. Soc. Zool._, vol. xx. pp.
189-274) he discusses the various forms of isolation above referred to,
under no less than thirty-eight different divisions and subdivisions,
with an elaborate terminology, and he argues that these will frequently
bring about divergent evolution without any change in the environment or
any action of natural selection. The discussion of the problem here
given will, I believe, sufficiently expose the fallacy of his
contention; but his illustration of the varied and often recondite modes
by which practical isolation may be brought about, may help t
My 'faux pa' wants to know what in the world I'm loafing for, taking pictures, and not down in the lower 40 hard at it in the garden. You can't see his whip, but it's a long one! ; )

I had a long, long, boring day at jury duty today, and I think I'm getting a cold. All I wanted to do when I got home was lie down and die but Schnookie was all, "Hey, go take pictures of the pretty sky!" I'm glad she was a cruel taskmaster, though, because the sky was quite lovely.
