*Mutual Protection*

It's a Prime Time day. Mars exactly square Saturn suggests tasks of gritty reconstruction which require you to face delays and surmount them with patience and persistence. What seems to have been lost is being regained slowly through a building process. Missed contacts with friends could be painful. You may think of and benefit from someone who has passed from this world (part of fortune with Jupiter and Neptune in the 8th sector).

It is possible to rise above feelings of loneliness. Someone who is gloomy or who has suffered at the hands of someone else may cast a tragic glow over things for a while. However, you are learning that a deeper meaning of love is to accept and then work through sad incidents toward something better for all involved.

You get reassurance through the sphere of work and income, which look as if bursting with strong potentials. It is well to give thanks for blessings from on high, even when they seem to come through other human beings or institutions.

Many, including probably yourself, are calculating shrewdly what they can gain from the current economic situation. There is nothing wrong with that, if some of what we gain is shared with those in need. You connect with ways of expanding your fortune, carefully rather than carelessly.

Even those who think they are not good at managing money may find surprisingly successful ways of doing it. Not only does your mental acumen yield results, you are protected in mysterious ways.

Further, you find that industry rather than laziness is what you enjoy most. Seeing definite results of your effort makes it worth while. This could be true especially of old tasks you've postponed but now want to tackle.

It is not so important how people evaluate what you do. Some may assume you are not serious or are playing with life. Yet they will have to admit you are succeeding admirably in many ways. In other ways, when you just don't care about something, you will let it go, and this could be interpreted as indifference or laziness when it is really your individual sense of values. You won't be imprisoned by labors which make no sense to you.

There is a grace in acknowledging that sad events in others' lives, even if seemingly brought on by themselves, are a result of growing pains, that is, the trial and error each of us has to undergo in accord with the trends of our individual horoscopes. So it is possible to look beyond people's mistakes and see that what they were really trying to do was admirable despite the errors which caused the obvious trouble. It is possible also to learn from others' mistakes, and so we might even be somewhat grateful to them for being object lessons through which we can develop self-protection. The doctrine of reincarnation has been called by Marc Edmund Jones "repeated opportunity."
