I'm writing this on Tuesday before the moon goes void-of-course (virtually all day Wednesday) but still I am forty minutes behind because of a forty-minute wait for my computer to get ungummed. This is typical of Mercury Retrograde (until August 8, although the Dark Epoch continues two more weeks after that, at least, as always and as you must know if you have paid any attention to these reports over the years). So, in case it needs repeating, the current time frame is SLOW, slow, slow, slow, with backtracking and confusion, but also with a chance to recapture the past, to rethink the past and present and get your bearings--if you do that with a quiet, calm, spiritual orientation as best you can.

Thursday and Friday may be slightly better than Wednesday, but I cannot guarantee that, because while the moon is both Via Combusta and void-of-course Wednesday, a double-witching, it is still Via Combusta Thursday and will be void-of-course Friday (though no longer Via Combusta). So we have three days which, if not useless, are at least peculiar, as you are sure to notice.

To make them not useless, I cam only recommend, as said, calm, quietude, and spiritual orientation. These would be good days for a spiritual retreat. If you can't do that, focus on old things in your work which have been left undone and do them simply and patiently, while open to unexpected revelations linking the past, present and future (yet while not planning that future in any specific detail, where you could definitely go wrong).

I will try to be positive in the following forecast, but please take the positivity with a grain of salt, remembering the previous three paragraphs. It's not that you can't do anything worth while but that your way of doing it will undergo many modifications in the process, most likely, and that will end up being good if those modifications come from your deeper self.

Limits in love are not impossible to face, but may make you solitary. Love is not absent but may be muted, or having to come out in sneaky unexpected only-partially-satisfying ways.

You can work at home or in your job with a focus on old stuff which has to be cleared away gradually.

Your job might seem burdensome, so that you wonder why you are doing it. Its peculiarities and strange ins-and-outs will become clearer eventually.

Which climate or region is best for you? Obviously the one where you are, but you may wonder. Something fateful about your location and about your business is working out. You can't force big changes but can be patient with old business you have to finish sooner or later. Future potentials cannot emerge until then. It is not a pointless struggle.

Crisis or danger is part of the picture. You can endure it and gain from it because of the lessons it teaches, although it's not likely you'll welcome them.

A conscious attempt to secure justice for yourself or others may be required. You can do it when you know you are right. And then you will be representing others who are or could be in a similar situation. That is a noble thing to do.

To be impetuous in asserting your rights could be good. It could be a mistake if you do it with rancor or violence. This is a fine line you need to avoid crossing to your own or anyone's hurt. If you are in certain parts of the world, you could encounter terrorists. Most likely those reading those reports will not, but could hear about them, or encounter someone whose words or gestures are the only violence. Some feel their patience is strained to the limit.

At another level, there can be cunning competition, with success. You are tired of losing, being spurned or ignored, and so could use the skills you have in a power-play. There is no damage done if this hurts no one and exalts you when you need to feel your life counts.

There are those who sacrifice themselves, or rather their time and energy, to help others who have gotten in trouble. You benefit by some such individual. Likewise, you could be that individual for someone else.

Sometimes people (or you or I) give up on the hard labor of life when it seems futile, and amuse themselves, indifferent to the labors of others who might be keeping the world together for us.  If this is a phase of release it is not sinful. This period is midway between the second paragraph preceding, suggesting competition, and the current one suggesting pleasurable indifference. It is yours to find the right path in one way, the other, both, or the middle.
