\Poised for Inner Redirection/

Things are improving slowly. The |difficult third of the week|, which this time included the Haiti earthquake (about which I wrote and posted here a special report), ends around noon in the Western Hemisphere, around sunset in the Eastern. (I shall not calculate the exact minute; I spent a lot of time working on the earthquake report.)

However, we remain in the Old and waning moon until the New Moon at 11:12p PT | 2:12a(F) ET | 7:12a(F) UT. It is good to "wind down" a little or let yourself coast a bit while not giving up on big plans, for they may be getting sharper in your mind while Mercury goes to his station before turning direct Friday in the middle of the day. You may be seeing your way ahead much better, even more so in the next few days. Mercury turning direct just after a New Moon bodes well for a reduction of uncertainty and a more straightforward life-plan.

Steadiness is important while we (and the earthquake victims) recover our poise. You may feel happy when thinking of games, sports, or entertainment figures who please you. Those who are lively, randy, and impatient put action ahead of eating and lazing around. That is good, so long as one does not leap too far ahead of current vision, which remains incomplete.

It's possible to arrange your headquarters and things in it in such a way that you see the layout more helpfully, with less stress in finding things, and more efficiency. You also are attracted to ephemeral pleasures or interests which provide amusement along with a bit of enlightenment. You take your up-and-coming status in the world seriously but don't want to be overwhelmed by ambition.

Continuing fulfillment seems in the cards, so you have confidence to persist through this turning point while your inner mind reflects and gains greater and greater surety about specific plans. You rule, in your sphere! Your authority there shines out for others to respect.

A restless side of you trusts to spontaneous choices, since you have the implicit background to choose happily. You are complacent about your personality---people can take it or leave it---while you feel that fresh adventures are on the way and you do not have to be anxious about them even though they require much from you.

This poised turning point of Mercury can be a time for relaxed, rapt, deeply reassuring contemplation, the mind quieted to harbor the impulsion of Spirit.
