Forecast for Thursday 25 August 2011

Thursday 25 August 2011

~Struggle Soothed by Appropriate Pleasure~

Ironically, the first day on which I can write a forecast (I was prevented for two days by horrendous Mercury-retrograde computer and other problems) has to be for a day, Thursday, on which the moon is void-of-course all day. All bets are off, one might say. That is, with this condition plus Mercury still backward, what can one do but muddle through? You can get routine necessary things accomplished, at least; and perhaps there will even be some nice luck in regard to job, career, standing, and the good graces of a (not necessarily) female in a high position. That will all be gravy, if it happens, apparently unplanned and even unearned; but there it is to make you feel better.

What is good gravitates toward what is good. Good people aid one another without trying.

You may be interested in something absorbing your attention, perhaps scientific or philosophical, or a puzzle or set of puzzles you try to figure out.

The “going in circles” trend is one which may be calming down by Friday afternoon, though still with us to a lesser degree until September 9. It is all right to have more than one friend (!). That strange comment may mean something. In other words, you feel you have to drop one friend for another, and then the reverse, and this may be seen as duplicity or vacillation when it really is not. Old friends are still with you in consciousness whether you see them or not, and even those who have passed from this world.

There could be a tendency to eat too much. I once suggested that it might be good to fast while the moon is void-of-course. Like all such rigid notions, it is not likely to work out in practice. Being aware when one is hoggish might be a good idea, however. Hunger is often psychological rather than physical.

Some spiteful individual who pretends to a position he has not really earned may get his comeuppance, not necessarily at your hands or by your lips.

Some diversions could be wonderful. You get on the merry-go-round of your desires and ride toward nothing but sheer exhilaration. Youthful spirits and mirth antidote worries we have been harboring so long. Pleasure is a god who favors us until he signals he might become a devil. Enjoy, thus far!
