I wrote the other day how my mornally seamless Mercury Rx run had come to a sudden and screaming halt. Yesterday that got taken to even greater heights.

I woke yesterday to my website being down…which is where it stayed for most of the day. Yesterday was also spent trying to stop myself from hurling my mobile phone at a wall as it had decided to leak battery charge, indiscriminately remove ring tones and lose wallpaper. then the handsfree function which hasn’t worked for like ever decided to turn itself on…briefly. I am taking it as a sign that I really need to buy an iphone.

Back to the website. It turns out that someone tried to hack into my website late on Thursday evening and replace my content with something that was extremely distasteful. Enough said about that. Thankfully I have the best geeky anti hacker brains as my site provider and the intrusion was detected early. The lowlife then kept trying throughout the day and was continually thwarted. This was a much larger effort than most hackers would normally put into something, so it made me wonder whether anyone really hates me that much. Sure I know that I annoy a lot of people (and a few spring to mind immediately), but to do that?

So I did what all astrologers would do- immediately cast a horary chart on the subject. For non astro peeps, tune out now….

Horary is a traditional method which bascally is casting a chart for the minute a specific question is asked. In the chart I cast, the 1st house and its ruler represented me and the 12th house and its ruler represents secret enemies. The sign on the cusp of the 1st was Jupiter (Rx in Aries) and on the 12th was Aquarius represented by Saturn. The opposition was separating and with Saturn in the 7th (any other people) and leaving, and Jupiter on its way back into Pisces where he would be in a better condition, I decided that the hacker who was strong (Saturn in Libra) was leaving and I would soon be in a better condition.

Either way, the whole thing left me feeling absolutely sick to the stomach and, especially after a few wines last night, wondering whether it was a “sign” that I shouldn’t be out there on the web…or maybe that is my very paranoid Mars in 8th house Scorpio talking.

I guess the silver lining is that I know I have a great provider and I had the excuse of casting a horary that was a tad more meaningful than “Will St Kilda win this weekend?” or “Will my friends team (Fremantle) win this weekend?” or “Will my daughters team (Swans) win this weekend?”…yep, my sad secret is out- I use horarycharts for my footy tipping…
