\Retreat to Kindness/

The oil spill remains major news. One writer in the New York Times, an expert on such things, suggested that maybe the best thing to be done would be: Nothing. Nothing at all. He pointed out the dangers of chemical dispersants and of other methods of containment, and concluded with the belief that letting Nature take care of it might be best. Of course, stopping or capping it seems imperative whenever and however that is possible.

I mention the “Nothing at all” solution as significant, because the “tangle” of the planets in a Grand Square, plus the remainder of the Dark Hermetic Epoch until May 28, suggest that in your personal affairs perhaps “nothing at all” is a good solution in some cases. That does not mean resting in a hammock, although it might, but staying with what has proved itself in the past rather than jumping to the tune of events which are indecipherable at base. Maybe you are trying to do too much in some cases. Solution A merely contradicts solution B, so if you try one for an hour and the other for an hour, you are back to where you started.

There are strata in the geosphere, and strata in your saving or investments, so you could investigate those and make sure you understand which stratum is available for spending and which is not.

Who is it who is greater than you, who supports and uplifts you, granting you shelter and sustenance? This individual, perhaps a spiritual guide, is important and not to be forgotten when most needed.

It is important to do what you can to prevent violence. One may not know which way to turn to do that, there is so much injustice in the world. Governments, which are supposed to curtail individual or criminal violence, are too often guilty of it themselves, in fact the worst perpetrators when war, persecution, torture and unjust imprisonment are added up. Charitable giving ought to include those fighting such injustice, as Human Rights Watch and the International Rescue Committee.

Many things offer themselves for entertainment. Some are merely silly, when viewed from your deeper soul perspective, and these you could profitably drop. Some individuals who are friendly in their own way may be pleasant as temporary companions, but if you spend too much time with them their false or jejune notions could infect you.

You could injure someone by throwing your power around in a way which is ill-considered. You might be hurt by someone who does the same to you.

There is a graceful quality in some of your connections, girlish or decorative. They can be a welcome retreat from too much questionable “business.”

You may note people who seem lonely, lost, abandoned. They are indeed lovelorn. They feel betrayed by the ones who meant most to them. Yet relief can be found. Your silent or verbal kindness may help, even if seemingly rejected.
