\Sharing Thankless Tasks/

(I have a feeling a lot of readers will not get past the title of this report but it is the title which came to me.)

The planets have settled back into a seesaw pattern, which helps with interpersonal communication on the business as well as the personal level. People are watching out for their own interests (moon in Capricorn) but are able to do that with an awareness of what the other fellow wants and needs as well, which can make their selfishness more successful and, in effect, more helpful to the world.

How many of my readers are students of the deeper Mysteries? Probably quite a few. It is too easy to reduce the Mysteries to platitudes. Many popular "new-agey" writings tend to do that, no matter how sincere the authors may be. Back to Blavatsky and Sri Aurobindo! These are writers who knew deeply what they were talking about. (Their viewpoints are different, but that is not disturbing to the one who goes deeply enough in the teachings of either of them.)  Of course they are not easy to read! Why would the sacred Truth be easy? And who is worthy of it but the one who is willing to put forth some effort to attain it?

There are a few other writers in the field worth reading, but I am afraid not many readers find them. It is all too easy to be mentally lazy. On the other hand, we all need inspiration, and something which inspires you can be good collateral reading even if it is less profound. It is your "energy drink," but you also need protein.

Good judgment is essential among friends as well as in business. You will benefit by getting active in the community, manifesting peace among those who are trying to bring about a better world even if their approach leaves much to be desired. In some ways, you could do it better. In other ways, you have something to learn from them, even perhaps from their mistakes.

I am seeing something in the chart which most of us, fortunately, do not have to face, but which many on the planet are facing. Again, I think of Syria, where unspeakable brutality, and worse (for "brutes" are less cruel), has been happening. You are probably free of a cruel tyrant, yourself, but some are not, whether prisoners or abused children or others. There may be some way you can help, at least through awareness and prayer, or whatever you are led to do by your soul's pleading. Maybe you need to say something to someone about an intolerable situation.

At a less intense level, these energies can be a need to get active, by resolving personal matters which you have neglected, in a definite clear way. (The strong squares between Mars and Venus-with-the sun are part of this.) We all dislike "finicky" but necessary drudgery, but some of it cannot be avoided, so may as well be accepted as cheerfully as possible.

The "thankless task" builds character, and who knows but that the cosmos or its Head will bless and thank you in due time? An inner poise based in spiritual surety can keep you from wasting your time in any way. The best pleasure now would seem to be association with those who are friends to your own best objectives in one way or another.
