~Self-Honesty as Effortless Self-Respect~

Yesterday and today seem devoted largely to career matters, or concern about your standing in the world and what you are doing to maintain or improve it. This is basically a desire for honor, for being appreciated or looked up to. Things become clearer or easier to approach after the moon enters Cancer at 11:53p PT | 2:53p ET | 6:53p UT.

There can be shyness and withdrawal, which is the opposite of what was just pointed out; so you need to see how your sensitive nature, wanting love or, if not that, privacy, can handle the business and job details which you also see as important. This can be done because you have a strong desire to manifest luxury and plenty.

Your sensual nature desires pleasures and you could fall off into them at any point, then feel guilty because you are not accomplishing goals or living up to someone's standards.

Relationships based on attraction are one thing, long-term partnerships another, it seems, and you may be facing such contrasts. Happy is he or she for whom these two blend, sometimes at least. If that isn't happening you may feel irritated with people and need to calm down and appreciate them from a deeper human level rather than expecting too much.

People for whom you work may disturb you if you feel they want more from you than you can give them. This could be at a level of efficiency or at an emotional level, or both.

You try to overcome a weakness of trying one thing, seeing how the wind blows, then trying another, and not sticking to anything when the wind is against you, therefore being buffeted rather than taking charge. You could adopt a clever scheme you have seen to work, and stay with it long enough to get results (Mars trine Uranus).

Loneliness can crop up while Venus opposes Uranus, despite the fact that many have been drawn to you or find you attractive or interesting. You wonder how lasting any of this is. You can please people in a job situation by being sufficiently detached from them so that your charm or cleverness is pleasing but not requiring any commitment from them.

Sometimes bereavement or separation from a parent, even if long ago, brews in the subconscious mind into a cup of bitterness. Drinking it with full awareness can lead to catharsis and renewal. Seeing everything, including one's sufferings, in full awareness, which I believe some Buddhists call vipassana, without reacting to them intensely is a process of therapy and release. It requires a mind free to roam and not afraid to confront.
