Forecast for Saturday 23 April 2011

Saturday 23 April 2011


\Wisdom at a Practical Turning Point/


Mercury turns direct at 3:05a PT | 6:05a ET | 10:05a UT, which is good news, and yet if you haven't already you should read or re-read what I wrote about that in Friday's report. We may not be feeling the real benefits of Mercury's now-very-slow forward motion for a couple more weeks. The Dark Hermetic Epoch continues.


What happens Saturday depends largely on how you pick up the "bucket" in the sky. It might be considered to have two "handle planets" in the current configuration, with the sun moving out to form a possible handle. The planet you are able to emphasize in your life would be the high-focus planet for now. Either Saturn or the sun. Now much as we try to avoid Saturn, he is essential, and protective when handled well, and he is warning you about certain things you need to take care of---in terms of money, home, and perhaps relationships. Old stuff that won't go away until you take care of it. Maybe organizing possessions, as one possibility; settling debts; clearing away obstacles. You may be thinking of happy possibilities at a distance, not today but later; before you can get to them these other things need to be done.


If that sounds like what has been going on for a few weeks, true---and it continues, but perhaps with a more effective way of finishing it up now that Mercury is direct. "Let's get this done" could be the mood.


If so, I might suggest trying to do as much of that as possible before the moon goes void-of-course at 5:14p PT | 8:14p ET | 12:14a(Su) UT. After that a more relaxed Saturday evening would be appropriate. All day we have the second day of the |stressful third of this week| so the mood is serious and focused.


You probably are estimating yourself fairly harshly and realizing what you need to realize about what you want to do with the rest of your life and some, at least, of the approaches to that. This comes from the Saturn prominence plus the final stages of the Jupiter-Saturn opposition (once every 20 years) plus Mercury at its station. Yes, it feels like a turning point. So you are "screwing up your courage."


It's the kind of day when death could be on your mind. This does not have to be morose. You might think of those who have passed from this world and how you want to live to honor them. (I got that from purely astrological indications, and then realized that of course for Christians this is the day the Saviour spent apparently dead in his tomb and, according to some accounts, visited those in the underworld).


It appears you have figured out or are estimating just what to do to keep your finances in shape.


Now, suppose you try to pick up the "bucket" by the other handle, Sol. That would be, in a way, your own deepest self, since each of us is a reflection of the sun's life and consciousness animating our planetary system. The sun in Taurus is becoming practical and bounteous, with the onset of Spring and greenery. Maybe you want to garden, or just plan on the coming splendours of Spring and Summer. Once you get the "Saturn stuff" out of the way, the old stuff you have to clear, you will be strong and masterful in your new world. It is well to remember that when things seem bleak.
