Also, it may be something else (I’m hoping it is, because I’d be damn confused otherwise), but it seems like whenever I do something really involved with water, BAM.  I get knocked down by illness.

Now, I’m not normally an infirm-constitution kinda guy.  I normally have very good health, with the exception of spring seasonal allergies (which have been hitting harder this year than not).  After conjuring Gabriel last week, I was knocked down for two days because of worse-than-ever allergies.  After meditating and contemplating water for so long last night, I’ve got bad flu-like symptoms and a 101 deg. fever.

Maybe it’s because I’m mostly a dry person (according to my natal chart, I’m split even on the hot/cold dichotomy and very high on the dry quality) and my primary element is earth.  Maybe it’s my Moon in Virgo and my Sun in the 6th House.  Maybe I shouldn’t be using the hyssop infusion as holy water for more than a week.  Whatever the hell this is, it’s incredibly obnoxious.
