}Longing for Secure Achievement{

We're in the |difficult, touchy, moody, reflective| third of the week, today and tomorrow, until (Friday at) 6:00p PT | 9:00p ET | 2:00a(Sa) UT. (Times are now in Standard Time, but UT remains the same, so that there is a 5-hour rather than 4-hour difference between ET and UT.) It is quite neat that Friday evening and the rest of the weekend are free from this "curse" (as it turned out to be last week during the 7-minute slaughter at Fort Hood for example).

Actually it is not a curse even though it seems to be. It is a chance to catch up with your karma, perhaps.

Also, the moon is void of course in the morning until 9:22a PT | 12:22p ET | 5:22p UT. Getting started might seem like a futile routine, one foot placed resolutely ahead of the other as if walking through a dream.

Travel plans may be on your mind. Even if premature, they can yet be inspiring. As mentioned, Friday evening and the rest of the weekend could be better than early today for travel or any other adventure. Local travel might be uplifting, however.

Intellectual or spiritual searching is circumspect and serious. It could be the very thing to do when all else seems barren.

Mars in Leo (October 16 through June 8, an enormously long period for Mars because it includes his retrograde cycle) puts an emphasis on children or young people, not always male but often. It may be that their deeper education, or the drawing-forth of their capacities, is at stake today, for they are seeking for something, they know not what. Those who have a stake in the feminization of boys, as many teachers, may be dismayed at the fact that boys refuse to be feminized.

Research in your own field gives you greater independence.

I shall not attempt to delineate your personal finances for the day, but it appears that many will be worried in that area. Perhaps the stock market's recent gains will slide backward; if so, it is just one of those minor weekly cycles. When all on your personal balance sheet is up-and-up, you are safe.

Faith is a cure for insecurity, in fact, perhaps the only one. But it, subjective, calls forth objective aid. That helps you to get everything in order, including finances.

Your ideals are strong when tested. You resist any impulse to gain through devious means, or grab what you haven't earned in some respectable manner, and so feel you deserve whatever you do gain; such self-worth is a strong card in your hand. Sacrifice for a cause turns out to be advantageous for yourself. Sometimes it requires you to be alone for a while.

Knowledge of future events is always speculative. Yet it can be helpful when not fearful. If you sense that something or someone is in trouble, you can take steps to avoid the trouble.

The stubbornness of a young male (or one young in heart) might be called constancy, that is, he remains true to his own interests and urges. But this could make him an unpleasant companion, even an antagonist, when he is critical, skeptical, or caustic in opposing you or anyone who questions what he is doing.

Well, what I said about the stock market may be true, yet it appears that at least the prices of gold and precious metals may go up today. The last time I said this, a couple weeks ago, they did in fact soar remarkably (about 5 per cent) that day, despite a precipitous drop for the previous week or two. We shall see if I hit it this time also. If not, that's 50-50, and I am still in the game. (I do not pretend to be able to predict something like this every day; there are too many variables.)

A friend at a distance may be alluring to you. Contacting her or him might be good, even if you don't hear back today. This person has some bearing on your career or standing; and helps you feel young and potent.
