Experimental Estimations

There comes a point at which astrology has to be completely intertwined with philosophy, psychology, and spirituality. I am at that point in my observation and study. Therefore it is hard for me to write a forecast for the day unless I link it with those subjects. What the aspects mean to you will be different depending, of course, on your individual horoscope but also on your goals, life style, and position on or off a spiritual path.

I have been writing primarily for those who I assume to be on some spiritual path or other, but not necessarily. It is unlikely anyone who merely wants to use astrology to gamble, or enhance his or her sex life, is reading this.

I do point out "good days," based mostly on the daily-changing lunar aspects, and of course those could be used to choose the best day to go to a casino or race track, or seek a romantic or erotic partner . The results would vary depending again on the individual horoscope and aspects to it as well as progressions.

When I say it is a good social or party day, you may depend on the fact that I have been trying to pick them (part of me is a social creature) for decades and have learned a lot in the process. Further, I believe strongly that choosing the best generally good day of the week, based mostly but not only on lunar aspects, is more effective for going out and meeting people or having a good social or party time or seeking a partner than looking at the aspects to one's personal chart. Why? Because the general aspects are much stronger than most people and most astrologers realize. Decades ago when I studied my personal chart and aspects to it, I was puzzled by many things happening which did not fit those aspects well. I had to look at the general lunar aspects (for example the weekly hard aspect of the moon with Saturn) to understand why things were happening when they did. And so it is possible for me to convey that information to you.

After all, if you want to be with people, or a special someone, and have a good time it is not just your personal chart which is involved but that of all participants. The best way to choose such a time is with the general transits, which I use in these forecasts.

That said, it is still difficult because there are so many intertwining aspects and positions each day. Further, a day good for social events or dates and meeting people is not necessarily the same as a day good for getting a lot accomplished in your work or a project. So I try to make these fine discriminations. It is possible I should try to make them more definite, graded on a scale. I tried that in the past and gave up on it, but perhaps with the years of experience since then I could try again and do better. Let's try it for today, Thursday:

Social life, friendship, enjoyment, personal relationships: C+
Work, projects, concentration on achievement: B+
Negotiations, agreements, business, transactions, purchases: B
Sheer relaxation and liberating self-exploration: D

These are not bad ratings. This seems to be a time of opportunity. But I will be chary in giving out A's. You can turn these into A's by the way you handle things. Spiritual seeking, prayer, positive thinking and meditation always get an A.

What I am trying here is similar, probably, to something you are trying in some facet of your life, because we are having still a square between Uranus and Mercury while Mercury remains trined with Jupiter. You have been trying something clever, have you not? connected with adjusting things, finding opportunities, using your skills more fruitfully, improving techniques for income, health, a project, whatever seems crucial. It's an experimental time, but not frivolous. The experiment is designed to have solid practical success (current Saturn aspects with the trine of Mars and the sun).
