*Mature Activity is Calming and Strengthening*

The square of Venus with Saturn suggests that you are trying to get past a hard place in some area of your life: in relationships, household matters, and perhaps legal or semi-legal matters. The moon in Leo approaching the Full (early Friday at 12:37a PT | 3:37a ET | 8:37a UT means you are fully aware of the details of what needs to be done and so can do them smoothly, which could be reassuring and satisfying.

Sorrow is likely to derive from a sense of futility in some of the above matters, as if you had to bear burdens for reasons you don't understand. The matters you have to execute require constant vigilance, facing things one at a time so you can execute the maneuvers required. If there is enmity or feuding, it has to be handled as calmly as possible, maintaining your peace of mind. Something satisfying is emanating from a serene response to difficulties.

Restraining raw impulses comes naturally when you have a mature sense of what will really bring fulfillment. Extreme frustration can push people toward unwise "acting out" or wild escapism. That you do not need to do. Old established individuals or institutions may be annoying but your way of fending them off does not have to be arrogant or hateful, rather, firm yet respectful. If your goal is peace, but peace based on fairness, your relaxed manner of facing issues will win.

You are upholding a standard. Others maybe don't "get" what that standard means. In the back of your mind is a goal of living in a place where you are free from interference; at ease to do what is meaningful to you. This seems more within reach than it has in recent weeks, and so you are heartened. The traditions of a place with which you are familiar would be comforting.

An impulse toward free enjoyment keeps coming up but is partly stifled in order to focus on work; however, it could be transmuted so that it becomes part of your work, as if you were dancing through everything. Learning to instruct yourself and others as you go is part of the adventure, not upsetting when felt as natural. The animation you feel arises from a desire to exercise powers and develop skills as you go.
