Wednesday Fourth August Two Thousand Ten

}The Pleasure of Cooperating with the Global Culture and Economy}

[I am on my way to a new laptop which will type numerals.]

A lot, in fact, remains like yesterday, although the moon moves from Taurus to Gemini at nine fifty-five AM PT | twelve fifty-five PM ET |four fifty-five PM UT. It will be void-of-course for four hours and ten minutes before that time, so you should not be surprised if things seem unfocused then.

However, after the time just given, today might be the best of the week for forward progress, until Thursday at about ten am PT | one pm ET | five pm UT. Today and the earlier time Thursday are better than the rest of the week for success with people, negotiations, purchases, complex arrangements, friendship, and so on. {The moon does not go void of course at that Thursday time but the culminating sextile then of the moon with the sun will be fading afterward; however, the rest of the day could have good points also.}

The middle of October is given as a favorable time for a more relaxed and happier approach to your life. This is two or more months away but if you keep it in mind it will help you navigate rocky waters before then. {We have seen this and reported on it before.} You will be happier then about money, work, and friendship or love-connections. Partly this has to do with the simple fact that the heavy oppositions we now endure will be relaxed then, or relaxing. {There are other helpful factors into which I shall not delve now.}

But the keyword of the opposition, in Marc Edmund Jones's teaching, is "awareness" and so let us develop that. The fact of facing people in difficult ways, those who either differ from you or are just different {if you get my slight play on words} does not have to be an impossible task. I sometimes think that warfare, which tends to happen more when there are intense oppositions, is subconsciously a design of the human race to force people---soldiers of course but also many others---to confront alien cultures so as to become more aware on every level of what it means to be a human being. Whom are you confronting now in that way? Someone who either disagrees with you on many things or is different culturally, nationally, racially, or in terms of life-style. Of course, it is more likely to be quite a few of such individuals than one or two.

The focus of the oppositions on Pluto {since they are all squared to it} is rather mysterious. Someone asked me recently if I still considered Pluto astrologically significant since the astronomers have seen that it is so tiny, perhaps not a true "planet" depending on the technical definition of "planet." I replied that I tried, many years ago, to eliminate Pluto from charts {everyone knew from the beginning that it was a very small planet, and very far} but found, eventually, that it was needed to explain events for which there seemed no adequate explanation with the other planets alone.

This T square with Pluto has to do with the difficulties of the economy and what they are forcing people to do. Since it is in Capricorn, and now retrograde, people are re-evaluating their careers and how they might manifest them in a more savvy manner. And they are seeing that they cannot do this apart from the global culture, with which Pluto has affinity or, it might be said, which it enforces. People are being forced into global business and global concerns, and they are being forced to learn how to connect themselves to a worldwide economy and worldwide set-up of governments.

Pluto broadens one. It is the "transcendent" planet according to Marc Edmund Jones; that is, at its best.

May your Wednesday and Thursday help you on your road of manifesting what is secretly demanding to be manifest.
