*Curing Anxiety through Courage and Enthusiasm*

Noble intentions are emphasized. You feel you could do more for the world, as well as yourself, if you were better off financially, and this might be true if those good intentions should indeed translate themselves into good deeds after getting your windfall.

You could worry too much about some matters, whether financial or otherwise, yet your insight, booted up by such worry, could penetrate deeply and brilliantly.

People tend to grab what they want, selfishly, not always aware how their callous greed looks to the objective observer. You may note this, castigating it in some and winking at it in others. "Humanity" is not necessarily an excuse. Probably those who have eliminated greed in themselves are least likely to rail against it in others. "You want it? Take it" was almost the attitude Jesus recommended. But what that means in reality for the individual can be learned only through long and deep study of the Gospels.

Some of your endeavors require much patience with those who are supposed to be cooperating with you but seem weak cooperators or shirkers. Perhaps they are incompetent along some lines and you are left to pick up the pieces.

People rail against the stupidity and arrogance of some religious followers, cultists, priests, sheiks or would-be rulers of their fellow men with pseudo-religious excuses. This is hardly a new theme in the history of the world. Your own dauntlessness and justice procure security against those who excuse their injustices with phony ideology.

Something valorous and dignified in you is winning the day in your career, leading to better income as well. People appreciate your decency, honesty and idealism (unless of ocurse those qualities are notably lacking). You can be responsive to others' hopes and needs in such a way that they trust you. They feel you brighten their lives. Then you could even be willing to work arduously at tasks for which there is little appreciation or obvious reward. Your reward is contained within the effort itself.

We are in the |difficult third of the week| until Friday at 2:27p PT | 5:27p ET | 9:27p UT. That could mean extra worry, or, if you face the worry straightforwardly, simply concentrated action to get done the things which will improve your situation.

Some of your internal distress has to do with being weaned. That of course means symbolically, yet even a subconscious longing for parents or parental affection could be making itself felt. Most adults fulfill such needs through some authority, teacher, spiritual guide or comforter. I find that only the very highest spiritual guides such as Avatars are worthy of one's unqualified trust as spiritual parents.

Friends who are missing are another perplexity. Loneliness leads some to drink. Screwing up your courage and enthusiasm is a cure. You are safe when you rely on what is reliable. That is not artificial highs, although moderate drinking could be all right; the problem while Mars squares Neptune is that moderation in seeking a high tends to be cast to the winds. The low is what follows.

You may note that people seem insecure, and likely to be grouchy or unfairly critical as a result. One might call this mild paranoia. It is well to excuse it in people because if you look into yourself you will find it there also. Unfortunately when people get paranoid their mutual paranoia feeds on itself, as in endless feuds such as the (ended) Cold War and now, for example, Muslim-Christian strife. When I am suspicious of you, you are suspicious of me, and vice versa, and . . . Well, apart from politics, it is time for that to stop in your own life and consciousness.
