Forecast for Tuesday 4 August 2009

Tuesday 4 August 2009

[I have returned home and hope that these forecasts will be regular now on a six-day-a-week basis, with no forecasts for Sundays except what I can affix to the Saturday reports.]

The Full Moon approaches, exact Wednesday. Today there is muted energy, with Mars square Saturn, as if you wanted to be thorough in completing things, with raw and patient determination. Yet you will want to go easy on your body, giving it sufficient rest before and after working it.

You are aware of what could go wrong with the "scales of justice" when they swing too far in momentary passionate disagreement, and so can prevent tragic occurrences. You do this by being properly suspicious, not insanely so but enough to detect when someone is not trustworthy or could betray you in a moment of weakness. Then you gently opt out from whatever could bring trouble.

That is better than being loudly argumentative. You could question people to the point where they feel persecuted. It is all right to be skeptical where skepticism is warranted, but without making yourself a pest or nuisance.

Traffic jams are possible, especially while the moon is void of course, before it enters Aquarius at 2:09p PT | 5:09p ET | 9:09p UT. Too much variety in your surroundings seems like chaos. But you can filter that down to relevance through calm awareness.

People devoted to artificial indulgence may attract your attention. You wonder how their tastes can be so superficial. You would put in their place something deeper and more natural.

You care about instructing or guiding people in paths of peace, because you sense the sadness of their getting lost in restlessness, which disturbs rather than fulfills them. You are an apostle of serenity.

A driving thrusting restlessness, however, could propel you toward something hurtful especially in your job or in a public situation. You might say the wrong thing at the wrong time and precipitate angry reprisal, or "throw in the towel" at some point and lose what you have gained. A finger in too many pies could bring you to the point of careless or passionate loss. It is well to choose words as well as projects carefully.

Enjoying life in a semi-public style or on luxurious occasions is good so long as you take people as they are, without expecting them to be more concerned about you than they are. It is disappointing to see that they sometimes think so little of you or neglect you, but if your serenity comes from deeper spiritual contacts you will not despair, and even rise toward triumph (though in veiled guise).
