I failed to mention in Wednesday's report that the |difficult, nasty, repugnant| third of the week began approximately 9 a.m. Eastern Time. So my statement that Wednesday was Prime Time was wrong. Sorry, but like you I have been hassled by a lot of difficult aspects (to be mentioned in following paragraphs); my timing, schedules and whatnot are intensely challenging. I have in the past been much more careful to to point out these times exactly.

That |nasty| third of the week continues through today until late Friday evening. (I double-checked that; will give the exact time tomorrow.)

I call it nasty this time because it is accompanied by the exact square of Mars and Venus, a truly nasty aspect.

The value of it is that it gets us moving. May you move in a positive, well-planned direction.

Limitations inspire you to get beyond limitations in your mind, from whence you can expand or release limitations in your life. To do that you need philosophy or religion, mysticism or deep realization of the good nature of things.

Is a friend really a friend? It is sad that we can doubt that sometimes. Maybe your interests and hopes proceed in different directions so that sometimes you seem at cross-purposes. Going deep within yourself to your ideals can help straighten out relations with friends.

There is much thought about money. The stock market does not know which way it is going. I believe it will improve later this month and in early December, so that by Thanksgiving a week from now we shall have more to be grateful for. (It doesn't matter if you are an investor or not, for often the market's variations reflect the trends individuals experience in their personal affairs willy-nilly.)

Mercury is already forming good aspects which the sun will take up soon, so your mind is anticipating good things before they can actualize. Good fortune is around the corner. But this could make you too placid, so other more worrisome aspects are spurring you on.

Speculative urges connected with money and travel could be disastrous, that is, lead you astray and possibly toward your hurt. I talked with a man on Tuesday who admitted he had a disastrous gambling urge. That is interesting because he is a stable (and very honorable) businessman about whom no one would suspect that, and because Mars is moving toward an opposition with Jupiter, well known in astrological circles as a gambling aspect. It can also be dangerous. I would not recommend unusual travel today.

The square of Venus and Mars is potentially disputes, arguments, fighting, separation, divorce, nastiness of all sorts. It can signify injustice and the attempt to right it. Since Venus is in Scorpio this could be over bills or payments as well as romantic alliances or friendships. Today it might have career implications. It is not impossible to get a handle on this since Venus is moving toward a trine with Uranus, and Mercury toward a trine with Mars. People will be reasonable although it may take time and effort to convince them of a reasonable compromise or arrangement.

Benevolence and humaneness are present even if masked. This can be in connection with your job and finances, plus communications regarding them. The pressure of differences and disagreements can bring out the better as well as the worse in people, once they reflect on what is happening and find ways of fielding or assuaging the divergences. An approach toward harmony still unattained is tantalizing and constructive.
