Tuesday 8 September 2009

\Renewal of Stability/

Now that we have finished Labor Day we return to labor. The moon in Taurus sextile Mars and trine the sun bodes well for ordinary business, reasonable decisions and choices, shopping and the like.

Having watched the position of the Part of Fortune for years, which changes every few days as does the moon, I am getting a feeling of what it means when in the 8th House as it is today. It is something like wanting to be elsewhere, or longing for the unattainable, or wanting to get some fresh foundation which nevertheless turns out to be old and reliable rather than really new. It can be disconcerting or reassuring depending on one's spiritual attitude. And if that sounds confusing, it can be a confusing time.

It is well to direct your mind and feelings toward something you esteem as momentous and significant, rather than to trivial amusement. Your impulses are strong, but can be tamed toward the true and enduring.

We are in a serious phase of things while the sun moves toward Saturn in Virgo. You want to accomplish something significant and attend to your working methods to refine them. This is partly with the aim of preventing problems which could arise from too much laziness (which you are aware of in yourself and are trying to curtail).

A creative and simple approach may be best, that is, relying on your own true nature to manifest in a childlike way which impresses people through direct sincerity.

You are well aware of the weaknesses of someone you value as a friend, and yet know that this person has something very deep and real which more than makes up for the foibles. So it is well to keep faith with him or her through dark or wayward times, such as perhaps right now.

It is wonderful to consider your blessings, which are considerable; you do not have to exert yourself for many of them. The counsel against laziness comes from your deeper nature which wants to rise beyond anything you have done so far; but even when you fail in that you are supported remarkably. Somehow you have earned divine guidance which protects you as long as you heed it in time.

Energies directed toward, or used in, your home are effective, bringing contentment because of your steadfastness in holding to ideals as well as simple (though variable) routines which stem from your soul-nature or the anima mundi. A physical or spiritual community is your haven.

When you feel rash and restless, you are held back by considering how people you care about will react to anything untoward. Still you need to assert yourself in a straightforward way, and will get a warm response as long as no one feels threatened.
