*Settling Plans Bring Peace*

It is nice that the |harsh third of the week| has earlied-up to before the weekend so we are free of it except for Friday this time.

Mercury is moving ever-closer to the sun at this center of a Bright Hermetic Epoch and this is a good time to get as many of your definite plans on track as you can. What are your priorities for the next two to four months, or through the summer? You might want to make a list as a way of focusing your intentions.

Fussy stuff having to do with job, career, and money is on your mind even through the weekend. It looks as if it is settling out fairly well although you might feel a sense of responsibility about it which weighs you down at times.

Well-intentioned, nice people who are confused, and who by not trusting the right people make trouble for those who are trustworthy, are a problem which leaders of organizations, or others within them, have to face. I wish I had an easy answer. You have to go with your conscience as well as you can.

Still it can be a happy, pleasant weekend. You may notice a lot of people with their pets. Or other animals may come to your attention. You feel the goodness and beauty of nature and want to share it but feel also an inner sense that some of your hopes are not being fulfilled in a way which would benefit everyone the most. Perhaps you are more sensitive than the world and the world's insensitivity is painful to you. Still there is much you can do, and you should not minimize your contribution or the higher rewards it is sure to bring. Laboring along as if one were a machine, or part of one, seems wearisome ("Old Man River"), but Gandhi willingly submitted himself to the discipline of his daily spinning.

A rash or impetuous tendency has been around for a couple weeks, with Mars tri-septile Uranus and Uranus square Pluto, which makes it hard for people to relax in one spot so they have to keep moving and sometimes feel they are sparring with those around them. It appears however that you are domesticating some of this impulse and turning it toward your business or financial dealings, to profit by a fresh, inventive impetus. This is restless, but does not have to be disturbingly so.

Living simply (speaking of Gandhi) is possible even to those who have found amazing techniques of gaining prosperity. Perhaps they realize that financial security is a way to realize the deeper hopes of humanity rather than to consume conspicuously.

Those in power positions, if they are highly motivated, have to use their strength and position to quell some dissatisfactions below them when those dissatisfactions are based on a misapprehension of what is possible. (Witness for example what is happening in France, Greece, and elsewhere.) I am not saying the people are always wrong, far from it, but Plato made it clear that democracy has its limits when the "demos" or population thinks or acts unwisely. I am not siding with Angela Merkel against Francois Hollande of France. Nor for or against the socialists in Greece. We all must know that there are no simple answers to these things and that a "mixed economy" is the way things are going everywhere. It's a matter of balance, so that democracy does not become demonocracy. This can be perhaps as bad as plutocracy on the other end of the seesaw.

At a much more relaxed level, there are prospects for hospitality and good will, respite, natural beauty, human charm, and pleasant pastimes. This could be specially true Saturday into early Sunday. There is peace, contentment, courtesy, and calm thoughtfulness. Artistry and generous responsiveness prevail.
