Today's happenings - beginning the process of taking out even more of what's left of my IRA money - are a direct result of Progressed Sun Square Jupiter, during which I spent, for me, astronomical amounts of money, or, to be more accurate, during which I charged, for me, astronomical amounts of money to my credit card.
First I spent $1,000 on a new air conditioner for the apartment, which was a very sensible expenditure as I spent the whole summer in New Mexico and wasn't even in New York to turn it on. Next was the wood clearing of the top three acres in Silver, which even with the New Mexico state government allowance cost me $2,000. Looking on the bright side, that did get me three acres of parkland, a cord of firewood and kindling for ever, but then there was the $1,000 on the Volvo, a couple of other $1,000 outlays that I can't even remember (!) but which were, like the Volvo, actually necessary, and the culmination was having central heating installed in the house for $3,500, which I was able to spread out over three credit card payments.
Installments would be a better word, as I'm now scrambling around trying to figure out which would be the *best* assets to take out of my fast vanishing IRA so I can begin to pay the credit card down. And lest anyone think I am complaining and ungrateful, I am definitely aware that this is what AAers call a "quality problem" and I am truly thankful that I have a IRA, diminished though it is, to draw down. I think that's Jupiter.
