\Hopeful Signs/
The "financial crunch" of the Euro-debt problem seems to be destined for Friday this week, according to common expectation, with the summit meeting of European leaders. This is quite interesting from an astrological viewpoint. The once-in-20-years opposition of Jupiter and Saturn, about which we have discussed much in the past two years, is still with us and increasing, this month, to its maximum, before it starts to separate in January. This in essence is, in fact, the debt crisis as mapped in the skies.
What is good about it? It is a clearing of financial karma, with Saturn in Libra a sign of justice or fairness and Jupiter in the sign of Taurus or money (as in "bull market" and "pecuniary" derived from Latin "pecus" meaning cattle). The astrological signature could not be more dramatic. Those who denounce astrology, as the late astronomer Carl Sagan, are self-blinded, so deeply drenched in materialism and, yes, atheism (only G*d could be behind the facts of astrology) that they cannot even hear what I am saying at this moment, or read it, or reflect upon it. How sad. And they transmit their self-willed blindness to future generations by teaching them, from grade school up, that astrology is a myth believed only by superstitious fools. As Jesus suggested, speaking of the learned men of his time, they "do not enter themselves and prevent those who were entering from entering."
Again, what is good about this aspect? It does not attain completeness, this time. It "refrains" from completing, because Saturn turns retrograde and Jupiter turns direct, so that it will leave us for another 20 years or so. This was called "refranation" by the old astrologers. With a difficult aspect like this opposition, it is a good sign. And so: We may hope that the Euro-debt crisis, attaining its peak this month, will be, if not solved, at least put into bearable shape so that it will not spook worldwide financial markets and an economic recovery as it has since last spring.
Wednesday looks like perhaps the best day of the week, from some viewpoints, especially in the two or three hours before the exactitude of Luna's trine with Venus at 10:47a PT | 1:47p ET | 6:47p UT. You could profit by, gain from, or at least enjoy whatever you do during those hours, and afterward if you get in the right groove.
It is important to keep up optimism. Failed projects are merely steps on the way to success. (If they have failed, they are obviously in the past!)
What I have called "economic justice" connected with the Saturn-Jupiter opposition might seem anything but just to some. If you are one of them, buffeted by hard circumstances or loss, I implore you to trust the laws of karma, or of the Supreme, rather than give in to despair.
The consistency of your thinking is helping you, if it was good in the first place; if not, you need to get in a pattern of good helpful thinking others have set forth. Your thinking rules your world, well insofar as it is connected with the goodness of the Supreme; not so well if based on fears, worries or animosities. Mental and spiritual resourcefulness leads to practical resourcefulness.
Work, physical or mental, in seclusion could be your lot part of the time. What has to be done has to be done, and the calmer and more patient you feel the sooner it will be done. Not hurrying, that is, calming the flurry of worry, could mean you get it done sooner.
"A strong hand supplanting political hysteria" is the Sabian symbol for Mars today through Friday. Certainly we need that hand! Governments almost going bankrupt, in Europe and here, and a populace harrowed by joblessness and lack of opportunity, are looking for leadership. One friend believes there should be third and fourth political parties in America. Perhaps. Where is the strong hand? (I might nominate Angela Merkel, for one, without idealizing or sainting her. In America, I nominate no one. The floor is open for nominations.)
A subtle, soft, persuasive, amicable spirit is present whenever you let yourself tune in to it. The moon is forming a grand trine with Mars and Venus. This may not be a thrilling love affair but could be something like that painted in gentler colors. It is at least friendship and good will.
