Forecast for Friday 23 April 2010

Friday 23 April 2010

\Demands Within the Family/

In this fiendishly peculiar Mercury-retrograde period, somehow the Thursday forecast did not get posted here. Internet problems, interruptions, on and on. So I am re-posting it beneath this forecast.

Things may be easing up somewhat.

There is a driving strength, a determination to be the ruler of your own domain and those who serve you. This could be sadistic at worst. Better, it is an insistence on quality and an attempt to impel others toward their best efforts.

Some of what you care about is communication, and you have a healthy sense of your competence in that, so you say what you really think; of course it is wise to avoid hurting people pointlessly when you are trying to be frank. Frankness does not gain points from cruelty.

It's important to prevent the disintegration of your real objectives through impatience or wrath (Mars square Mercury). This could arise over issues which are not fairly understood by you or by the other party. Therefore it is well to endure the momentary upset, until things settle out more sensibly. This need not be after Mercury turns direct on May 12, but if it takes that long, you can be patient.

Good, foursquare work, healthy and normal, will do wonders for you, especially on things you have been postponing. Some, not all, are connected with your home, others with finances, others with study.

A lot of matters which seem imperative have their root in the invisible, that is, your connections with superphysical beings whether they are angels, discarnate human beings, Masters of Wisdom, or others. These entities are demanding, though not harsh. They want you to live up to your potentials, because that relieves some of their burdens.

When there is anger and then discussion or argument, there can be renewal. This may seem a paradox but sometimes the healthy argument is needed to clear the deck and ventilate things, so that a fresh morning may arrive.

It is good to embrace differences, to accept those who seem different yet members of the human (or smaller) family. This leads to a non-sentimental, non-clinging intimacy which helps all to manifest themselves in happier style.

*The Resilience of Spring*

There is some danger of reaching toward what is unobtainable rather than focusing on what you can do.

Some speculations are good, others not. You are looking way into the future and hoping to get control of it. That is good. You get control of it partially through doing commonplace things in the present.

You acquire much through perseverance. Already you have obtained certain good things, centered in your home living, and can rejoice in them.

When someone misunderstands the laborious work you have done, it may be painful. You can take pride in doing your usual work effectively and conscientiously. It does not matter what detractors think or say.

With Saturn opposite Uranus, people are touchy. In a simple way, this aspect represents the old versus the new. Yet it is necessary to combine the two somehow in fresh ways. The process is hard when it requires respecting past endeavors thoroughly while still trying to update them partially.

Sensitivity is good when it opens you to the invisible realms of those who are trying to cooperate with the human race to uplift it and help it evolve.

Freshness and rejuvenation are wonderful when they lift you beyond worries. There is nothing soft or sappy in this; it is an eagerness springing up within you to boost morale.

Good things develop slowly as the Spring season gradually acquires strength, in this its second phase while the sun is in Taurus, the sign of green leaves and colorful flowers fostered by the sun's more direct rays (whatever the weather).
