~Stalwart Loyalty is Adventure~

We have Prime Time all day, until late evening when the moon (in Cancer) goes void of course after midnight (12:10a Tuesday Pacific Time; later in other zones) after forming a sextile with Uranus.

The moon with Venus in Cancer suggests feminine softness, but Mars square Uranus nearly exact is masculine impatience. Perceived immaturity or foolishness could call forth an angry response. Yet people want to be friendly, or reassured by friends, because the Part of Fortune is in the 11th house.

You care about architecture or real estate and could discuss it. Arrangements for accommodations could be made. You may do this to serve others with whom your lot is cast or a group in which you believe. Costs involved may not be unfavorable.

A practical bent is noticeable, even if you use methods others consider beneath their notice or absurd. Your confidence in what you intuit allows you to succeed with ordinary rather than spectacular procedures.

Where there is abundance there is temptation. So you could yield to some sensuous urges when you know you can afford them. This could be dangerous, so it is well to be circumspect, and loyal to those who have proved they deserve loyalty.

The impatience already mentioned comes out also in Mercury's square with Mars. Together, these can be dangerous if your possessive urges or greed get control of you to the degree that you neglect basic ethics or your better instincts. Or you may see this happening with people around you. Fortunately higher spiritual urges are also present to lead in a more noble direction. Impatience is good only when it leads to stronger efforts to get things under control in an intelligent and fair manner.

Ferocity in protecting what one sees as one's privileges could lead to violence, in an extreme case, or to an unworthy fracas. Calm perspective could see this rather as a game of wits or skill to pursue with a worthy opponent. "May the best man win" is better phrased as "May the man or woman who is better prepared win"; then the loser gets help in preparing for the next encounter.

Revenge had better be contest, that is, an open engagement which shows to all what is going on rather than a covert perverse attempt to punish someone. The sun's opposition with Neptune speaks of a need for faith. Somehow all warriors realize they can't win if they are on the wrong side. Neptune says "You had better pick the right side." The sun says "I have chosen and will stick with this to the bitter end." But if in the warrior's dying moments he suspects he has been fighting in an unjust cause, only another life could cure his despair, through a chance to try again.

In humble positions one can prove one's mettle. The cook, the servant, butler, delivery man, nurse, housekeeper all contribute what is needed for the success of others or a group. Such realizations are a deeper gift of Neptune while he is with Jupiter and trined by Mars.
