Friday 14 October 2011

If you are wondering why, since I said the |difficult third of this week| ended Thursday, you are still feeling rather down. Well, there is always something . . . this time, the sun conjoined to Saturn. It is actually diminishing today, in terms of exact mathematics, but not necessarily in terms of suffering. We are up against our limits (Saturn) and the limits of those with whom we are most closely connected, like it or not (Libra).

How to escape the "always something"? Spiritual consciousness, which is independent of astrology, although the latter helps both in attaining it and in understanding the world, events, and people once one has attained it.

Present duties need to be faced. Then there is hope of something wonderful happening to make you feel you are a favored one. The favor is partly earned, partly sheer Grace.

What sustains you? To one who knows Him, only the Supreme Lord. To others, material activities. And so I cannot answer for you. You are questioning, perhaps, what your true support is, and finding answers, both at spiritual and material (or financial) levels.

Confusion in beliefs or perspectives is likely while Mercury and Venus together oppose Jupiter. This is the religious-questioning aspect, the aspect of skeptics and believers at cross-purposes, resulting in quarrels over philosophy, religion, and approaches to Truth; the clash of gurus, cults, denominations, religions, and viewpoints. Yet you are able to find what makes sense to you and it is not impossible to communicate this to some degree.

(I am almost sorry I mentioned the clash of "gurus," because actually in India most of the time gurus are more respectful of one another than are varying spiritual groups in the West, or so it seems to me. Tolerance is something the West can learn from India.)

There are ways of getting beyond pettiness (yours or someone else's) and recovering poise. Humble prayer is one way. As the day proceeds people will be feeling brighter and happier.

A T square focused on Mars in Leo suggests sports and games could be emphasized.

Exploration and discovery bring wealth. This can work out in smaller or greater ways, reassuring you that life is on your side.
