~Wary Security Could Equal Contentment~

Entering into the fray seems hard at times, but there is assurance of victory if reasonable care is combined with the optimism of the spirit.

The anger which certain people feel over disagreements is hard to calm or eliminate and so sometimes has to be ignored. This is a case of truly benign neglect.

The bulls of the American financial market encounter the dismal plight of European debts as well as American ones we have faced for years. The bull is pawing the earth, ready to roar and roam, but held back by fears. I do not pretend to succeed in predicting the financial markets with astrology. There are enough pseudo-predictors out there to take your money for their questionable advice.

Despite such worries, there can be a degree of contentment and placidity, happiness with the wealth one does possess and the comforts one has secured. Financial savvy comes out in small as well as large directions to make sure one has enough, and is able to trade or share with others who need anything.

I pointed out last week the exact hours of this week's |difficult third of the week|, approximately today, tomorrow, and early Thursday. One generally feels less confident at these times. However, late today the moon's trine (from Cancer to Scorpio) with Mercury and Venus promises some kind of enjoyment, entertainment or limited social pleasure, tinged with melancholy but still satisfying. (The |difficult third| by no means indicates ups and downs in the financial markets with any reliability. It functions more on the level of emotion and consciousness. Sometimes worries impel investors to invest, and the markets go up at such times. Sometimes worries impel them to sell.)

You are using science, or scientific methods, or technology, to estimate correct solutions to problems, and this can be successful (Mercury and Venus in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn). You feel constricted and limited when you worry, but rational thinking can release many of the worries when applied straightforwardly.

Defending oneself from loss takes time and thought. However, if this goes too far it becomes degenerating fretting which cuts too deeply into the enjoyment of living. Therefore contentment, especially this evening, is a wonderful blessing.
