Monday 19 April 2010

~Creative Imagination and Dithering Shape Reality~

The day seems very mixed, as to "difficult or easy," so it is a toss-up. The moon in its own sign Cancer sextile Mercury in Taurus suggests facility at ordinary business. Technically, the |difficult or doubtful| third of the week is Sunday and Monday, ending shortly after sunrise on Tuesday.

There is some danger of trusting too much someone who is lazy or careless, and inclined to be parasitic. Such people deserve kindness but not necessarily the favors they ask in every case.

There may be questions of who is on top in a matter related to studies, or associations for learning, or spiritual groups. Who needs to prostrate before whom?

Loneliness and isolation may seem necessary in order to do some work which is extremely important. Perhaps that is true. You want to be the one calling the shots, and so the price is being abandoned by those who do not respect your position in that regard. This can be somewhat poignant, but you are determined to follow your lonesome path. Or to stare at the moon until you know the next direction in which to proceed.

I probably can't say too often that we are in the Dark Hermetic Epoch until May 28. Also, at the center of that Epoch is the three-week Mercury Retrograde period, which began Saturday at 9:07p PT | 12:07a(Su) ET | 4:07a(Su) UT, and continues until May 12. This means, take it slow, reduce expectations, and be very patient with all the delays that are likely. When you have a lemon, make a lemonade. That means more than seems, because the "lemon" can be something backward or confusing slowing you down, and the "lemonade" can be what you do when you can't do what you had planned.

Today this could mean that you feel devastated when other people seem lost or confused, or when they don't do what you think they should, and you don't know even what they intend; and so maybe not even what your own plans are if they are contingent on other matters you cannot determine.

Fortunately nice aspects of Venus and Jupiter will mellow all this, so that the "lemonade" can be quite enjoyable. Old friends may renew their contacts. (Maybe the people lying on cots in airports in Europe while the Icelandic volcano scotches their travel plans are making new, or finding old, friends amid the imposed languor.)

Whether a church deacon, officer in a Masonic lodge, Sunday school teacher, or just someone who helps others get their bearings when you can, you know what it means to try to be the sort of soul who helps others get on their feet spiritually. This you can be doing. There are older and newer ways of doing this, but the newer ones are mostly like the older when you get down to the essence of the matter.

You are deft in shaping things around you, organizing possessions. This is a good "lemonade" to make when you are at loose ends. Rather than buy new things you find fresh use for old ones. Business is creative when it re-shapes procedures without too much anxiety over the precise manner it is done, willing to wait for results before re-adapting the plan once more.

The past has its contribution; nostalgia for people gone from you could be moving. Yet an optimistic view of the future percolates through everything. You sense that mysteries are not enemies. Rather, the mysterious future will respond to your shaping of it through imagination, and through dramatic projection of your wishes in simple ways.
