~Deep Defense as Transcendent Security~

The New Moon in Scorpio occurs at 11:15a PT | 2:15p ET | 7:15p UT. Immediately after that the moon is void of course until it enters Sagittarius at 9:23p PT | 12:23a(Tu) ET | 5:23a(Tu) UT. So it might be well to conclude any important business before that first time when possible.

It is fascinating that the charts over the weekend and today seem to point to exactly what we have been discussing in the two Yahoo groups concerning these forecasts, namely, the ethics of giving-and-receiving, or buying-and-selling, the ethics of business whatever your business or employment may be. These considerations need not be dismal but can be uplifting if one is willing to trust the cosmos and its laws for justice (a keyword of the sign Scorpio).

'Tis the season of Scrooge and the Grinch! Or of the anti-Scrooge and anti-Grinch, if we choose to create them.

The way in which music and spiritual aspirations blend could be fascinating, and might have business applications (however strange that may seem except to professional musicians or pastors).

You may note how some individuals, in business or not, are selfish enough to take advantage of anyone and everyone, as if wolves rather than human beings, while others struggle valiantly and ruggedly to uphold their ideals, and ultimately succeed.

Gradual yet certain gain is the financial motto. You can feel the liberating winds of Providence blowing around you and filling your sails. What you have built, hoisted or grown yourself is yours. And what you have given returns, albeit in unrecognized guise.

There is a thrill of the romance of chivalry, a man risking himself for a lady or principle or church or ideal, and this privilege not denied to women either who are heroic time after time; this is derring-do, but let us hope the enemy is not human beings but the carelessness or conscienceless-ness of said beings. With daring there should be defense; perhaps tact. (If one is on a battlefield, this advice moves toward a more radical version of itself.) If one fights for a cause, let the cause be grand.

If you think of a large, grandiose building you may get clues about avoiding ineptitude. It might be a place to go for instruction, guidance, or inspiration, whether on the physical or mental plane. An anchor for hope permits calmer and more astute activity. Friends met There may be invisible or visible.

The way in which individuals face the financial crunch, or economic crisis of the nation and planet, is currently highly individual, persistent, creative and even speculative (a gamble). Of course literal gambling (Mars in Leo opposite Jupiter) is not likely to yield more than entertainment or dubious thrill; I mean a willingness to attempt what might seem foolish to some, a glimmer of entrepreneurship perhaps. What's that idea you would feel foolish propounding to friends or family, which yet you feel might work? Hmm, maybe you should dust it off and make it spin. I should say, you might be more realistic about this before the void-of-course time (first paragraph). After that, you could ponder insubstantial bubbles which, no matter how colorful, are not "practical"; yet art, not practical, is worth millions (in the case of Van Gogh and others only after their deaths, sad to say).

You may feel that you and yours need defense; this is perhaps true; still there is always the need for faith as often the strongest part of a strong defense. To feel someone has taken advantage of you or used you unfairly is hard. If after due consideration and prayer you feel you need to confront this individual or institution, this could be the time for it; to be precise, since I do believe in the void-of-course times, I would say either before that or else tomorrow after the New Moon.

Scorpio is a sign of self-contained strength. At its best, somehow it pre-empts its enemies or even encompasses and contains them; understands them, which is the ultimate forgiveness and protection. Today such awareness may come upon you.
