}Mistletoe{
The moon is in Libra and I am watching a superb movie about Jimmy Carter entitled The Man From Plains. His sun-sign is Libra, as was that of Dwight Eisenhower--two who, in the afterview of history, will be regarded as great men, regardless of whatever mistakes they might have made while in office. It is reassuring to me that once in a while the American people can elect a great and good man as President. The Carter Center, Jimmy and Rosalynn's foundation, is doing superb work, and his warning to his fellow citizens about the mistakes we are making in regard to Israel and Palestine is extremely important and needs to be heeded. The movie shows him responding to the reaction resulting from his excellent and important book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. It also shows him speaking during a religious service as a sincere Christian and offering prayers at a barbecue. The man's sincerity cannot be doubted for an instant. He is the sort of Christian we need, not the right-wing fanatics who, in the name of their Saviour, propound the most ignorant and violent offenses, knowing not what they do.
Today looks better than yesterday. Although still technically the |difficult third| all day, other lunar aspects are excellent so we might well forget that designation. For practical purposes, today is better than Friday when the moon will be in the Via Combusta all day and void of course in the afternoon. If you have contacts to make, plans to settle, or shopping, today could be the time.
Mars's slowing down and moving to a station in Leo, the sun-sign of our President, coincides remarkably with his slowing down and considering what to do in Afghanistan and arriving at a consensus with his military advisers. It is almost amusing that one important part of the plan is a timetable for the beginning of the removal of the troops, that is, Mars will turn retrograde on the 20th of this month and military matters now are sold to the public and Congress by assuring everyone that they are only temporary! Mars will turn around and come home starting in July 2011! Hmm. None of us really believe it. The more plausible aspects of this campaign are related to the sun's trine with Mars from Sagittarius, sign of international relations in general. Lurking in Capricorn, the sign of mountainous regions, we have Mercury and Pluto (Pluto rules big business) square Saturn in Libra. The aim is to bring wild mountainous regions and their warring tribes under the rule of law (Saturn is exalted in Libra). Good luck. Afghanistan has been called the graveyard of empires. Many would be glad to see the demise of the U. S. empire as a welcome reprise of the demise of the British, French, and Russian.
Uncle Sam, would you like British, French or Russian dressing on your Empire-coffin?
Rolling a stone up a hill in Afghanistan only to see it come rolling down, the figure of Sisyphus, could resemble some aspects of your life, but you are fit to keep pushing that boulder to its proper place while the sun trines Mars. You benefit through cooperation with someone who is either from another country or region, or who is a teacher or spiritual guide. His or her distinction brings you distinction.
Finding beauty and concord is not hard while the moon is sextile Venus all day.
Something you feel you must do involves distributing information to people. It could be by mail, email, phone, Twitter, or whatnot, but it establishes you more firmly in either a career direction or position of trust.
People perceive the best way of organizing home differently. So some will prefer that you do this, some that, in terms of industrious organization of possessions. Ultimately you have to decide yourself, although you can take account of differing opinions in order to arrive at a design harmonious for all.
It is basically a fortunate day. You may find that you know how to connect with people, both granting and receiving favors. Venus's growing trine with Mars brings romance. Love is in the air, in surprising ways; mistletoe omnipresent, visibly or invisibly.
