Thursday Forecast, 26 January 2012

I hope you are developing your work methods, plans, and initiatives smoothly and successfully. There is no astrological reason why you could not be doing that. I give a lot of excuses for confusions, backward tracking, and temporary failure during a Dark Hermetic Epoch, but we are in a Bright one now until February 27. Please do not tell me things are hard. If so, you must soften them, because you can.

We are in the heart of the Bright Hermetic Epoch especially through February 6, or another eleven days, so I recommend surveying your life, figuring out where you stand and what you can do, solidifying your current plans (for the next three months at least) as well as you can. Your judgment is probably as good as it is going to be for a long time. Circumstances always require patience, but they will cooperate with you better now than later, and further, you can "seal in" what you gain in terms of knowledge, wisdom, and planning during this time so that you do not lose it when the Dark (slower, more subjective and confusing) period begins. You will also sense, now, what to leave out or avoid, what matters in your life deserve "benign neglect" for now, while you focus on the important ones. There will be time for the more peculiar, subjective, frivolous or experimental stuff in the next Dark Epoch (February 27-April 22).

All this may be specially true right now while Mercury remains in good aspect with Mars and at point focus between Jupiter and Saturn. Other factors also give the day an A rating for work and projects, including detailed planning in financial, career, job, and household matters. The other C ratings are not bad, just normal.

Social life, friendship, enjoyment, personal relationships: C
Work, projects, opportunity, concentration on achievement: A
Negotiations, agreements, business, transactions, purchases: C
Cooperation of circumstances, weather, traffic, conveniences: C
Sheer relaxation and liberating self-exploration: C
Spiritual seeking, worship, prayer, meditation, positive thinking: A always
E is effete; D is desperate; C is cool; B is bold; A is awesome
