\Painful Individuality plus Shy Companionship, Shared Interests/

In some places, physical weather will be replicating the astral weather of (a) the autumnal equinox and (b) the moon in Capricorn, a cold sign, square Saturn (by sign and then exact), a cold planet in Libra. Or this can be clouds and precipitation, often.

Many things which occur or need to be done will be felt as tests. We all wish for spiritual peace and physical ease. Well, can't we have that about a third of every day? I guess we shouldn't complain. The other two-thirds are somewhat demanding now, but good aspects of Neptune and Venus suggest that such peace and ease can be brought into the demanding activities, making them feel almost like enjoyment. This of course requires faith, and fine perceptions.

The opposition of the sun and Mercury with Uranus brings out individuality, and not always in the best way unless you are a master of yourself and have the perception and understanding to see yourself in your real place among the rest of humanity. That of course is rare. Until we get it, we are likely to think of our own approach to everything as best, and ridicule others' approaches, or insist that everyone do as we think best even though our personal choice might appear wrong-headed to many. During this period the tendency could come out in dealings with young people or friends, whether they see you as the wrong-headed one or you see them so. It might also come out in connection with a career or business opportunity. Someone else being right when you happen to be wrong is not a major character flaw, just something to learn from. Unfortunately, when it's the other way around you cannot force people to see that.

The brilliant astrologer C. E. O. Carter said that Venus square Mars, with which we are suffering, makes a person "dissatisfied with himself and a keen critic of others." This nutshell comment deserves careful thought for that square is almost exact (and will be with us by a ten-degree orb until October 18). "Dissatisfied with oneself and a keen critic of others." To which Carter adds, "He cannot take people and things as he finds them; he feels too much and expects too much." Does this explain some of your recent suffering?

Another possibility is wild self-indulgence for escape, especially because Venus is in Leo and Mars in Scorpio. With the lunar situation as it is, there would be a quick comeuppance. "I did this to escape my suffering, but have created more suffering."

Business and income have no doubt been on your mind. You have probably learned by now how to separate pointless worry from fruitful concern about such matters. Of course you may wonder whether the "fruitful concern" will really be fruitful, and so you could veer into "pointless worry" again.

Grant Lewi says that Mercury trine Jupiter, now with us, gives one a propensity to display one's knowledge. It is good that Mercury is gradually escaping from its harsh aspects with Uranus and Pluto into this fine trine. Expect cultivated information and learning, a culture-vulture approach to items of literature, film, or art which identify you as a person of good taste. Because Venus is involved by sextile, you can share such interests with someone congenial.
