Semantics!
Ever consider the
difference between hot chocolate and hot cocoa?
Semantics. It’s really the cocoa
butter that makes the cut. Hot chocolate
is a drinking chocolate made from chocolate.
As in a chocolate bar or chocolate shavings, it’s the complete chocolate
that has the cocoa butter in it. Hot
cocoa is made from cocoa powder, or a similar mix. Regardless of how you mix your magic, the
chocolate beverage has been cherished for centuries!

Chocolate in the Stars
Happy Birthday to all you
Sagittarian chocolate lovers!! Are you
ready for a serious new phase? Your
guiding force Jupiter is about to move into the sign of Capricorn. This phase should inspire you to be a bit
business minded and perhaps a little more structured. It’s even very possible for you to develop
some self discipline. Shocking, but the
stars will be helping you with this for the next year. As for the rest of the universe, Mars is in
retrograde and Saturn will be joining later on in the month. You may be feeling like forces are coming
down on you and working against you. But
fear not, the world will keep turning. Venus
will be moving into the sign of Scorpio on the 6th. Be ready for deep emotions and strong
passions. I recommend a chocolate that
is very dark, rich and of course, completely satisfying.
*As we are all living on
the same planet in the same universe, this forecast can relate to every one, no
matter what sign you were born under.
For the next months news letter I will be focusing on a Capricorn
horoscope. See ya then!
