*Hopes Resting on Memory Revive*

It's quite a good day, in Prime Time. I think a lot of places are already experiencing my weather prophecy, that the cold wave engulfing not only most of the U. S. but many places in the world (such as Switzerland) would diminish or vanish in the second half of January and February. Where I am it is somewhat warmer already.

Intransigent males are not confined to the ranks of terrorists, although that is a major rank to contend with in one way or another (although discerning when benign neglect is the best policy is something our Administration, as the previous one, seems unable to do). Likewise in your life, males who are nutty or off on a tangent, perhaps travelers, questers for something, contentious and brazen, are likely to be playing a role, and yet you find it easier now to deal with them than in previous weeks.

The revelations about the sex life of Warren Beatty, an Aries male and so ruled by Mars, are interesting as happening while Mars goes backward in Leo the sign of romance. Retrogression often equates to reflection on the past, as his is being brought to light by a new biography, and doubtless countless individuals will be watching his old movies out of curiosity (me too, since I have just looked up his birth-chart. Pondering the charts of actors, actresses, writers and directors while watching their films is an exquisite astrological, psychological, philosophical and esthetic pleasure).

We can't neglect the earth while there are four planets in Capricorn. In winter this can be, first of all, finding the earth by removing snow; but at present it may also be advance planning for whatever needs to be done in terms of agriculture, or the culture of growing things, in seasons ahead. (If we have readers in the Southern Hemisphere of course this will be reversed, so they might be culturing crops or gardens with special attention now.)

You are determined to get things right in your life. You feel you can do this. Friends and associates fall into place as you see what function they perform in your life, and perhaps what function you perform in theirs. This is happening providentially. We are resources for one another. Still, it is probably too early to map sharply outlined plans involving large-scale cooperation.

Someone who seems helpless may be in your purview. You could get soul-satisfaction by aiding this individual, however feasible. Isolation is a sad state of mind, and a little befriending goes a long way.

Also someone you know is reviewing his or her life and feeling overwhelmed by apparent failure in actualizing hopes. This is a bittersweet state of mind because the overwhelming realizations, no matter how sobering, prepare her or him for future continued growth, both in this lifetime and a future one.

The archaic and mystical have many levels of manifestation. The past is our colorful friend, providing we take the best from it and leave the rest. Ancient writings can pull us out of lethargy and re-inspire us; partly because only the most useful tend to survive for centuries, so they have already been filtered through the race's sieve of discrimination. This can be true also of art and music.
