Forecast for Wednesday 26 October 2011

Wednesday 26 October 2011

~New Moon of Care and Slow Beginnings~

I refer you to the third paragraph of Monday's forecast, where I suggested that the European leaders and finance ministers might do better to avoid the |difficult third of the week| extending through Tuesday and Wednesday. Here is what happened, from Tuesday's Wall Street Journal:

BRUSSELS—A meeting of European Union finance ministers ahead of a gathering of European leaders was canceled on Tuesday, raising concerns that parts of the package to stem the region's debt crisis remain in doubt and that a final agreement won't be reached at Wednesday's summit.
The finance ministers from all 27 EU countries had been scheduled to meet Wednesday in Brussels to settle on a package of measures ahead of an evening gathering of EU leaders and then a meeting of euro-zone heads of government.

And so, let us hope they will continue and reach some conclusions on Thursday and Friday, as I had already suggested. It is fascinating that the moon will be in Scorpio, a money sign, Wednesday through Friday, with three other planets (sun, Mercury, Venus), while Jupiter opposite them in Taurus, another money sign, is the "handle" planet in a Fanhandle configuration with them. This certainly points out what is happening, which could have far-reaching effects on the world's, including the U. S.'s, economy. Jupiter (said to rule bankers) retrograde is also significant, since debts from the past are the problem; they have been hashed and re-hashed for months. The New Moon of Scorpio occurs late Wednesday (in Europe) and so it is not surprising that Tuesday, day of the dying moon and within the |difficult third of the week|, did not work out for them. They need Cosmic Piper. I remain guardedly optimistic that something good will happen. Of course, most or all involved will have to "take a haircut" in the graphic term used for debt-induced loss, so it will not be exactly joyous for them, but could save the world from a much worse fate.

The New Moon occurs Wednesday at 12:57p PT | 3:57p ET | 7:57p UT. This often coincides with a gentle inner uplift or sense of "things are better," although, as pointed out, the |difficult third of the week| does not end until late tonight at 9:59p PT(W) | 12:59a(Th) | 4:59a(Th) UT.

Much about the day is deep and soulful. Music of a mellow rather than trivial sort could help you.

There could be a tendency to blame someone, and be cruel. You could even end a friendship by letting yourself be careless with words or actions. This ought to be guarded against.

The Sabian symbol for Jupiter's position is "A bridge being built across a gorge." This certainly makes sense in terms of the complex and painful negotiations among the European nations, who are annoyed with one another and yet have to cooperate in order to save themselves (and perhaps the world's finances, by preventing another recession or worse). In your life you may sense how you are trying to do something similar with someone or some project. "Don't be cruel" is a keynote, otherwise the bridge may not be built. A more childlike attitude would help, giving all a chance to be themselves.

Information coming to you from many sources is helpful. It stimulates you toward a more successful personal economy.

It is wise to slow down and think when you feel like acting from mere habit. Accidents can be precipitated by such carelessness. Messages coming from a higher source are both uplifting and practically helpful, if they stop you in the midst of an addictive or mechanical activity which could hurt you or seriously waste your time.
