\The Strength and Satisfaction of Idealism/

The |difficult third of the week| is receding but still with us until late evening. The moon's good aspects with Jupiter, Mercury, the sun and Uranus will make things progressively smoother. Still, all day it is good to be on guard against mistakes, hasty errors, accidents, and excessive worry.

What you should worry about, if anything, is that this month or next you pay 57 per cent of your taxes for weaponry which is designed to kill the entire population of this planet over and over and over again. You are paying greedy military contractors huge salaries and profits. Are you happy about that? That is something to worry about. You could write or call your congressman and tell him "Enough! The enormous military budget is impoverisihing our country. It is the greatest, colossal, single cause of our country's debt, our insolvency. It is destroying America. It is the elephant in the room, the huge mad invisible elephant consuming our individual incomes and public resources. Please do all you can to cut, cut, cut the military budget! Eliminate all wasteful and unnecessary items and programs. The future of our nation depends on it."

If some of the Founding Fathers came back to see us now I am sure this would be one of the first things they would be appalled at. Some of them warned against "standing armies" and wanted to keep America free of foreign entanglements. We have abandoned our heritage, and common sense, to hand over our hard-earned income to thieves, killers and liars, what General Dwight Eisenhower warned of as "the military-industrial complex." This is not Americanism or patriotism; it is suicidal insanity.

If you don't write to or call the President or your Senators or congressman about this today, there are other things you could do in connection with "men or women in power" because the daily chart suggests such action or communication. This could be with an employer, client, or other businessperson, or with a government official or representative.

Parents are also important today and you may consider or reconsider them in some context, whether or not they are still an active part of your life.

Preparations for travel could be significant.

You are finding a path of dignity in your work, your career or profession. This involves savvy effort, research, or communication. You may be earning accolades.

Consultations and career developments may go on in the context of a shared meal or pleasing familiar interaction.

The unusual quality of much of what you yourself are trying to achieve need not appear vain or silly to others if you present it reasonably.

You can be happy if you are guarding and aiding those who need such assistance. Everybody is needed by somebody. You may be setting an example, without realizing it. You find ways to represent a powerful, non-violent ideal.

Those who represent such an ideal for you become even stronger influences, for which you are grateful.

Easy enjoyments can be shared, especially in the evening. Some of this is artlessly natural and almost rustic.
