}Tangles of Insight Tangling or Untangling{

We're in the |difficult third of the week|, which lifts Thursday afternoon. The moon is uncomfortable because of its nearness to Saturn and squares with four planets in Capricorn. Dealings with aged people are likely, and a need for straightening out misunderstandings as far as possible with those in authority or in educational positions.

Many may have issues with computers or other technological devices such as phones, or find that communications are delayed or tangled. Most of us feel we have a backlog of correspondence weighing on us, and some of it seems so irrelevant that we attend to it only out of politeness. Yet some of that reluctantly followed-up communication could have good results eventually.

Shining by reflected light, we pursue studies of literature, the arts or sciences, or philosophy, and this gradually lifts us above ourselves. To get a grasp of current politics and warfare, we need to study politics and warfare in the past. "Ain't gonna study war no more" goes an old spiritual, which Mahalia Jackson used to sing, and to me that means that if we study war it should only be in order to learn how to end war.

Measuring music is in the cards, that is, estimating what music you want to hear and what you want to dispense with. I am finding Slacker radio helpful in that regard (free Internet radio with much customization of what you hear).

You can also measure out mysterious factors you need to research, in order to get a better handle on your education as related to career hopes. "Miles to go before we sleep."

The nation-wide (perhaps world-wide, I do not study the weather assiduously) cold of the past few weeks, as I have said here twice or thrice already, may end on January 14 or 15 (I have moved the date ahead by one day). I expect late January and February to be warmer than December and early January, in most places. I mention this again because today I see a report that the fruit crops in Florida may be damaged by the current cold spell.

I see people in a little cabin or cottage surrounded by snow, smoke coming from the chimney, a fire in the fireplace; they sit around a table playing cards while drinking festive drinks. The scene from our view through the window is more cozy and charming than it feels to those enmeshed in it. Yet I hope they will feel their spirits lifted, with joy returning.

It seems that those involved in foreign wars (for which your taxes are paying) have a Richard Burton complex, that is, the first Richard Burton whose travels and exploits in Arab lands have been fascinating to several generations. What precisely they are doing they do not know, but they want the adventure, and do not know why. It is a compulsion, and it is happening, and it may be endangering our lives, and you are footing the bill.
