Forecast for Wednesday 6 October 2010

Wednesday 6 October 2010

}Facing Otherness Meekly and Honestly{

I did not post a forecast here for Monday or Tuesday and nobody seemed to mind. I am writing them for myself; it would be nice if a few others read them also and benefit from them but I do it for myself. So I will neither give excuses nor apologize.

But it is true that the charts for those two days were dramatically correct in pointing out what I was going through, and I saw also how they applied to the lives of some others around me.

Wednesday and Thursday, up to somewhere near sunrise Friday (in the Eastern Hemisphere, near noon in the Eastern) comprise the |difficult or stressful or moody or karmically burdened third of the week|. Today the moon, Mercury, Saturn and the sun are all quite close together in the first half of Libra. This means a striving for and perhaps attainment of depth in relationships. Does depth mean it will be easy? Of course not. But it could be wonderfully rewarding despite the difficulties. You adjust to people and they adjust to you.

There is an emphasis also on career. You want to be doing what will give you self-respect. You want to "serve" if you realize that only through some kind of service can you be a real person. This does not mean servility. The CEO also serves. He is bound to his task just as the lowest-paid worker. For that he was born, perhaps.

And in the service there is a meeting of one's opposites or one's "enemies" even, that is, those who differ in their perspective and life-experience. Thank heaven for the difference, as the French say, because without it you would be poorer and weaker. You become yourself by facing your opposite.

That process contains mysteries. You learn, some things consciously, most unconsciously; you are expanded by the process of meeting and adjusting to others. They would not be "others" if the process was always simple or easy.

There is an international flavor to some of this. It takes you beyond yourself, yet is focused on the practical, as in business. There is some intrigue, there is wonderment about how people can be what they are, especially when that thwarts or blocks your plans or habits. There is material here for a spy novel.

You can be meek when you realize there is so much beyond yourself you do not understand. You live for a service, a mission, a task to which you were born. Then you no longer care about yourself or your personality or image but about the work you are doing.

Paradoxically, that brings you more human relationships than you can handle. People then relate to you on the basis of what is most real in you, and that makes everything highlighted and vivid.

The mysterious side of things is involved with finance and with international relations, also with religious differences and ways of overcoming them. All this is going on throughout the planet and also in your life. If you are not aware of it, you must be a pot-smoker.
