Monday 15 March 2010

~Struggling Out of a Cocoon~

"Beware the ides of March," which is today. I am not superstitious about that, since it happens to be a line from a play, but today is not a "nice" day. It might have its peaks, which we shall discuss, but today and Tuesday comprise the |difficult third of this week|.

First, it may not feel like a work day but a day to continue your weekend resuscitation, that is, by lying around in bed. I wouldn't blame anyone for feeling like that. So the advice has to be, do your work, but keep a low profile and don't take on more tasks than you can reasonably handle. Rest when you can and get home early for needed recovery.

You care about a male individual who has been both interesting to you, attracting your attention, and somehow deeply involved with your soul's needs or your mission. This is someone who can shock, who can arouse strong reactions, and teaches through dangerous adventure. His mission, whether understood by himself or not, is to represent something you and others need and guide you obliquely toward it.

"Secret enemies" as the meaning of the 12th House is not a "nice" signification but one you might ponder today. Where there is a desire for something revolutionary, there are enemies of the change being agitated for. With this you are dealing in one way or another. Even in the spiritual field, as Sri Aurobindo knew well and discussed brilliantly, progress for humanity is attended by interminable back-dragging or covert opposition. Much of this is not visible on the surface of life, so the ancient astrologers called these enemies "secret."

The New Moon at 2:02p PT | 5:02p ET | 9:02p UT (Daylight Time except for UT which is the same as Greenwich Mean Time) could be the beginning of the butterfly's extrication from its cocoon. "Beginning" because usually it takes at least hours, maybe days, for us to get the drift of a New Moon. You might note what you are thinking and feeling after that time as a clue to your coming month's agenda.

Someone who is rustic, natural, hearty about his or her work, willing to go all out for goals shared by his or her family or community or group, could be near you or else on your mind. This is a rare sort of being who deserves more appreciation and cooperation than he or she gets.

It sometimes seems that some individuals are content to go through life with opinions and attitudes they developed at an early age and refuse to adjust to reality. If you are around such a type, you may be hard-pressed to control your temper. "This is the way I see it and so this is the way it is." It may be impossible to argue with that directly but possible to work around it if you are forced to do things in cooperation with this individual.

Study is important in connection with your work, and in order to solve problems which have been lying in wait. This could be book-learning, but also some practical savvy you learn by doing, by trial and error.

Other, more beneficent influences are present, which could take shape in someone lovely, kindly, sweet and helpful to all. The description sounds feminine but it could be someone of either sex. When this happens you are relieved, your faith in humanity restored.
