studio clearing

i got up this morning at my now-regular hour 5:30 and had a real, high-test soy cappucino. soon i was putting in an hour clearing a path through my old studio, which had become a walk-in storage closet, especially since a year ago i moved my working space into the dining room, loosely termed, where i had installed a skylight about ten years ago and then never had anybody to dine.
so now i have begun. there is a path. i figure if i do an hour on a weekend, i can do that much, right? if you scroll down a few posts to the picture of the hall outside the study, which i excavated a couple of months ago, this is the room behind the painting at the end there.
so then i took a bath and went to church, but it didn't prevent my computer problem, which i dropped off afterwards to the tune of $250. which i now have to go pick up and begin the re-install, wish me luck. i was downloading audacity and it conked. i wanted to see if i can make some pods...

have some coffee?

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
