Forecast for Friday 22 January 2010

Friday 22 January 2010

*Distancing as Perspective, Followed by Happy Time*

(Red because the moon is in Aries for the third day, until it enters Taurus at 8:41p PT | 11:41p ET | 4:41a UT; this may be an ugly color to you, I hope not too jarring.)

The |worst third of the week| ends this morning at 4:40a PT | 7:40a ET | 12:40p UT. I never mean to imply that for every individual this will be literally the hardest part of the week, or that the rest of the week will be easy! Things are not quite that simple. But it is the time in which a much higher percentage of painful events occur, such as: The earthquake in Haiti, and then one week later, the largest aftershock (Wednesday this week); 9/11/01; and then 11/22/63 when JFK was assassinated. Countless murders and accidents taken from your or my local paper. And on and on. This is verified and certain, there is no doubt about it, but it is statistical, so you can of course rise above that in your individual case. It is a time when KARMA is intense, heavy, when KARMA IS CLEARED. But we are out of it now, so keep this in mind for next week . . .

(I will copy this and re-post it then . . . )

Today, Friday, is at least somewhat less hideous than recent days. You may be in a retrospective mood, wanting to ponder your life and what it means and where you are in it now and . . . where you're going---but if you read these reports at all you know that that last part will be easier in February.

You are willing to do with less rather than more, in order to be true to yourself and your principles. That is admirable.

Not that you want less rather than more, but that you put your own agenda, your hopes and plans, your beliefs and convictions, ahead of merely scraping around for income or more income all the time. You can trust to the principle that you are always given what you really need at a given time.

You have "been there and done that" with a lot of things. Some of them you do not have to repeat, but treasured memories help you see what you do in fact want to do in the next few months. Though it is too soon for stringent plans.

You may feel defiant about a lot of things which have weighed you down. It is dangerous to "throw in the towel" and quit a job, for example, and I don't recommend it, but you may have strong urges in that direction. Somehow you can stage a rebellion, of sorts, without tossing out the necessary parts of your current life.

Rather than resigning a job, you can be resigned to the Will of Heaven. You need some perseverance. Realize that this is a hard place which will get easier before too long. Make protests if you can, or squawking noises, to let people know you are not satisfied with things which seem off base. That is better than just jumping ship.

If you can't keep faith with those who don't seem to know what they are doing, perhaps you could keep faith with the One who has control over them and all else; perhaps you are going through the harder part of a test.

You are not weak, but may be becoming indifferent to a lot of things which others think are crucial. Didn't comb your hair? Big deal! Deal with it! (you think). Your shoes are scuffed up and one came untied---wow, this could be the cause of World War III? Get real! (you say to yourself). In other words, you have your priorities, and if others think they are silly you, in turn, think such critics are silly.

At the same time, you know when to pull back. You are not "hiding," you are evaluating intelligently when it is worth while to be involved in things, or people, and when not. Caution is not a mistake when you know you have a limited amount of free time and need to devote most of that to your own interests.

You have a strong desire for distant places, deep refreshing knowledge, and philosophic poise. You feel that some forms of entertainment, which others regard as silly pastimes, are helping you arrive closer to an intuition of subtle truth. Therefore you proceed to "play the fool" for those who can't see beyond the garish costume, content because you know what is really going on. We dramatize things for one another, often without knowing how or why.

The evening, when the moon is forming four friendly aspects, looks very pleasing.
