\Full Gloomy-Hopeful Moon/

This is the Full Moon period. As a rule it would be better to get things done on Wednesday, because the moon goes void-of-course early Thursday (time above) right at the Full Moon. So Thursday (until the late time given) is better for less essential or crucial matters, ordinary routines about which there is no question, plus relaxation when possible.

I need to say that you need to keep your faith up. This may seem like hackneyed advice, but indications are such that you may "misunderestimate" your bright prospects and feel that everything is gloomier than it is. Words of St. Paul might be helpful (Galatians 5:6): ". . . the only thing that counts is faith active in love." I present this for encouragement even if you feel love is far from you.

When will things get better? I will make a stab at an answer: As mentioned a couple weeks ago, Mars and Venus will be in a trine (together with Jupiter and Pluto, a grand trine) March 7 through 20, so that is beginning even now. However, you need to give this aspect time to establish itself. Since we are in a Dark Hermetic Epoch, you may not know how this is going to work out, so you should be prepared for the unexpected (in a good way).

Many are sensing that love is all around them, and rejoicing in that, yet feeling they are nevertheless far from it, "water all around and no drop to drink." The "virginal" side of the moon's presence in Virgo is something like that, a shy coyness. "Wow, what could happen between us! (But let's not push it.)"

You look toward some at a distance who could be companions, or a mate, yet keep your distance.

Yet there is questing, a search which never stops. Not just for companionship but for ways to manifest your talents in your work. It is good to explore, discover, and try various things (temporary error being part of the trial or try-all).

It's the Full Moon, so gloom tends to dissipate, even if it comes back to dissipate again. There is a sense of limitless possibilities despite current restrictions (which may seem overpowering at times).

You are invited to do something with a friend, and have doubts about it. Is this too much to attempt? Will it fizzle and come to nothing? Because of paragraphs 2 and 3, I would say, try and see, be willing to see where it goes. Something in the past has set you up for this. People are unmasking themselves, with some nervousness. If your motives are pure, no harm will befall.

There may be contention. This is not fun but may be an essential part of differences working out, coming to light and helping both sides in a dispute recognize who and what they are. So you need not shrink from it, but moderate it with kindness so it does not go a wrong way.

Any suffering you are enduring has to do with Venus still opposite Saturn and Mars still opposite the sun (though both aspects are diminishing). This is not physical causation (material cause in Aristotle's terms) but formal cause (astrological causation, which is essentially synchronicity or pre-established harmony, understood only by those entering the magical universe. Leibniz described it). If you are hurting (physically or emotionally) you can eliminate the causes of the hurt by examining your actions and, perhaps more, your thoughts and feelings. These are "final or ultimate cause," and few are able really to modify them except by appealing to Highest Cause (a Savior).

Of course you can't eliminate what is an essential part of what you have to do in this life (your dharma). If that brings suffering, it is constructive suffering which turns finally into joy. Better things are emerging.
