Forecast for Wednesday 29 December 2010

Wednesday 29 December 2010

~From Tangles Toward Definition~

We are slowly climbing out of the worst phase of this week, Monday through Wednesday. Things should be discernibly better by late evening. The blizzard affecting large portions of the country came predictably during the |difficult third of the week| and now we are in the Via Combusta or Burning Way through Thursday. But Thursday should be easier to handle than today.

In addition to other problems, the moon will be void of course from 7:06a-12:51p PT | 10:06a-3:51p ET | 3:06p-8:51p UT. Those six hours might be good for taking a break, letting yourself ponder, meditate or pray, at least part of that time, to regain your bearings.

Melancholy could lead you to discover better or smoother ways of doing your work. Secrets may be revealed. These could be others' or your own. Strength of mind will aid you especially after the void-of-course time in the previous paragraph (when the moon enters Scorpio).

Geniality and kindliness are not absent. You will find them a wonderful resource. When people are overcoming intense problems they can still be considerate, perhaps because they realize others are suffering as they are. Sometimes they may try to get you interested in something in which you have no interest. You go back to the essentials on which you are working, which require organized effort rather than loose interests meandering everywhere.

If there are reversals, they can be met with equanimity. You care about your image, your reputation, and do not want it to be shaken. Some of your ways are determined by inner, even occult, influences, of which you are only partially aware, although you have "contracted for them" in a karmic sense. By using things you replace them, that is, make them part of the human economy-ecology. You welcome the happier trends of late afternoon-evening.

Abortive enterprises have their lessons. They do not have to be repeated. As the sun approaches its biannual square with Saturn, you will become aware of what does not work, and then can turn to what does work. At this point, until the middle of January, what works is likely to be what has been working in the past. New hare-brained schemes are to be avoided. When you get a vision of what you want to achieve, you can labor at it without intense suffering, only the ordinary suffering accompanying intelligent effort. Over-all harmony is with you, attuning you to pleasures which do not interfere with your endeavors.

The ways of persuasion are other than the ways of force. You convince people by your integrity and by sticking with self-assigned tasks. You can finish up things requiring definite measures. You are intimate with places or activities which make your body feel it is linked gayly with the natural world.

Compulsions you feel while at home or in a private space at work could push you in directions you hadn't anticipated. This can be all right so long as there is no cruelty in it. It is hard to see, at the time, when one is being cruel; it seems just when it is unjust. You want to be free to pursue whatever enterprise you choose, preferably among friends who understand your impulses. This is more likely possible after the time in paragraph 2.
