}Wise Plans Discerned Dimly or Clearly{

This is the last week of the Bright Hermetic Epoch, which changes to Dark on Saturday for about two months. So you might try to finalize whatever plans or ongoing strategies seem to be working for you. This is a matter of Mercury (hence his epoch is called Hermetic, for of course Hermes is Mercury). It is, in other words, a matter of your mind, your thinking, planning, strategizing, your ability to map out your life consciously. It has a lot to do with your everyday routines and methods. What methods have you been deciding on in the past month or two? What are your conclusions? It would be good to write them down before Saturday, when you might start to question things unreasonably. It is very likely that you can trust what you have decided upon in recent weeks. This could be concerning big things involving major decisions, or smaller ones (nevertheless essential) such as daily scheduling, weekly agendas, and so on. You have seen how to direct your life for the immediate future at least, and it is well not to forget what you have learned.

As of Wednesday we have escaped the |harsh or challenging third of this week|, that is, the special segment of it marked off that way. During it, this time, Prime Minister Papandreou of Greece threw his monkey wrench into the world markets which had just started nicely to recover. World markets went down precipitately during the two days of the |difficult third|, Monday and Tuesday. But beware: The market does not always behave like that, as I have explained before. Sometimes people and institutions buy rather than sell during the |difficult third| of each week.

The insecurity you feel about various matters does not have to be an everlasting habit. It is funny how we can worry about things which never happen, and forget to worry about more important things, such as our spiritual standing in the eyes of G*d. Jesus said that men spend too much time seeking honor from other men rather than the honor which comes from the Supreme Lord alone.

Mercury's position (with Venus) at the center of a T square with Neptune on one side and Mars on the other has many possible meanings. One, for today, could be that you see into plots, schemes, and subconscious wiles of people (or yourself) and see how to foil them and prevent bad results from them. We can be detectives on ourselves as well as others, and learn how to stop ourselves from defeating ourselves.

In reorienting yourself from the possible loss or absence of friends or family, you can trust that something new and good will develop, rather than cling to the past when it is gone in any practical sense. Of course it is wonderful to remember all we have known, including those gone from this physical world, and appreciate them and what they have contributed to us, which is immortal insofar as it is progressive. It is equally as important to honor them by attending to things we need to do, which, if they are conscious of us, will please them.

You are leaning how to prevent people from imposing on you without offending them. At crucial times you need your space as they need theirs. You are also subtle and sensitive concerning more abstract philosophic matters which interest you, so you can get the drift of what the Higher Mind of the human race is showing you.

There is significance in your dreams. They are not pointless. They are showing you how to complete some project which you might be conscious of only semi-consciously most of the time.

It seems you are confronting another side of you which wants to forget about projects and coast. It is willing to rest even on a hard bed rather than work for a luxurious one. This is personal choice at work, so no one can tell you which way to go at any given moment.
