You care about your position in the world, even if at times it feels you are sinking out of public notice, struggling hard to keep up with responsibilities. Covert or hidden activities may be essential and important, although they have a bearing on your public stance eventually.

You sense that you are destined to be in a position of power and command. Your way of getting there may seem difficult at this point. Cooperating with others who have hewn a path, or are technologically or otherwise competent, can help. Much careful and intelligent thinking is going on. Mechanics, dynamics, ways of moving things or getting them in place, have an impact on how you proceed.

It is okay, in fact smart, to assert your talents rather than worry about whether they are adequate. Asserting them makes them adequate (or at least develops them toward adequacy). In fact, taking risks to be what you want to be will pay off immediately and later. You are growing toward a role not evident yet. There may be some backlash from what you say or do, but some will appreciate your sauciness.

Behind you, backing you secretly as it were, is someone who has integrity and inner knowledge which "the world" never seems to comprehend. He senses ultimate potentialities and so fosters them in you. He is fatherly and good-humored, striking up affinities even with those he has to oppose partially.

People want peace in their neighborhoods, and courtesy from their neighbors. It may not be as hard to come by as it seems. There are times when the tide is against us and this may seem one of them, but tides always turn. The moon is in its waning quarter but that does not stop you from thinking about and planning for success. Disappointments in money and love are the stuff of the world and the world's training for each of us. We do not have to be indifferent, but can be detached and serene, content with what we have while hoping for something better. To be honorable and at peace with all may be far more sublime than to be questionably motivated toward questionable ambitions. Honor is substance of self rather than glitter of world.
