\The Human Drama Unfolding/

Nothing is exactly what it seems during a Dark Hermetic Epoch (see last week's 12-point explanation), and today this could be a happy fact because there could be pleasing surprises, or a feeling of exhilaration .

There are indications of giving up some things for the greater good, yet at the same time, the greater group might give up some things for your benefit. There can be rejuvenation, even when difficult circumstances seem to hold on. You have a strong sense of what is possible in your career, and that is liberating no matter what effort it requires.

Have you been indulging yourself in a gross manner lately? That trend may continue, unless you fight it off, or realize more deeply how self-defeating it is. Moralists and health proponents rarely convince people to change their habits, but a sense of reality could filter into your consciousness and help you be stronger to resist temptations which hurt you if you succumb. You may need someone to nurse you back into a healthy, hearty state if you have gotten yourself into a slough of weakness. Enlisting in a worthwhile project is good for you.

Deceptive influences are around you; not necessarily consciously dishonest, but willing to use you for their own self-satisfaction, not caring much what that may do to you. You are attracted to potentials at a distance which are charming in themselves, and help you to display your own charming qualities without self-consciousness. That is your natural right and spontaneous tendency. The beauty of human beings is reassuring. It does not have to get tangled in anything questionable.

There are disagreements, with the sun square Jupiter. When have there not been, in human history? At a certain happy level of detached consciousness, one can appreciate opposing viewpoints, including those opposed to one's own, as elements of drama which enable one to be oneself; the foils or dramatic settings which bring out one's own role, character, or mission. You may link with someone older on one hand, and someone younger on the other, so that you see the clash of generations as simply a contrast in styles which need not at all mar the positive value of what is developing through common (though often slow and invisible) spiritual evolution.

The trine of the moon with Jupiter (from Virgo to Taurus) until early evening should help you in friendships, relationships, and consolidating some temporary plans. However, when it concludes the moon will be void of course, through Tuesday until Wednesday morning. That "void" (though obviously not hopeless or pointless) begins at 4:39p PT | 7:39p ET | 11:39p UT. Moods should be good even after that, but the potential of plans going awry is there, so "take it easy" is wise advice.
