*Relying on Connections, Contacts, Strategies*
We have escaped the |hard third of this week| (always allowing for other "hard" times on other days because of other statistical patterns) which ended early Thursday at 1:19a PT | 4:19a ET | 9:19a UT. What problems came up for you, Tuesday or Wednesday, which require solution?
Lunar aspects of the day are cheery, the moon trine both Mercury and Venus especially in afternoon and evening. Old business remains important, and connections with people at a distance, and religious-spiritual consciousness.
The longer-term opposition of Jupiter and Saturn, discussed yesterday, can at worst bring out "suspicion, distrust, indolence, or even basic dishonesty" in the words of Robert DeLuce. It is interesting that these are the character-failures the northern European countries are attributing to the southern ones during the debt crisis of these latter, affecting the whole world. Likewise, the "occupy" protesters in the U. S. are blaming Wall Street for these character disorders. It might be said, indeed, that debt is a character disorder which is racking the world economy. Debtors have their "deadbeat" disorder, and creditors their "vulture" one. The deadbeats want to feed on the vultures and the vultures on the deadbeats, but they have fed and now must fast.
However, as discussed before, Mars is trine Jupiter: Again from DeLuce: "The native [astrological subject] gains through enterprise, activity and diligence in all his affairs." A formula the world needs. This could be specially true because the aspect occurs in earth signs, which have a talent for the immediately, materially applicable. Someone you know and communicate with frequently is helping you do this, whether by support, challenge, or both.
Passions and rages can destroy detached objectivity, while the sun squares Mars. This goes on for at least a couple more weeks; as it sets in, the anger and violence in the protester-police contest has increased. When emotions overcome reasoned protest, things get out of hand, and of course this can be on the side of the police or otherwise. People want to get even or, better, just to win. In your own life you can use this energy of "let me win" to pursue your goals with fine-edged strategy rather than blunt belligerence.
Stability of purpose helps a great deal. Meanwhile, romantic dreams occupy you especially later in the day and evening, when you could indulge them successfully up to a point. You could be a social climber, if so inclined, or find that you gravitate to beautiful, gracious individuals, congenial and helpful.

"they have fed and now must fast."
ReplyDeleteThis quote certainly resonates. Interesting view. In fact, I like it.
PS: I know guards that were training yesterdayday (Wed) to assist in riot control for the Occupy demonstrators. Then to read this....there's no letting the powers-that-be know to just let everybody chill.
