\Plodding On/

There is much practicality. People are willing to do what they have been doing, in their particular sphere of service or job, without complaining much. The workingman has been idolized (by Marxists) and idealized (by Christians also) and we just celebrated "his" and her day. So now it is back to work. Sticking to hard labor for the sake of an employer (and oneself) may seem unimaginative, but how would the world's economy and life go on without those individuals? They hold things together by their daily toil, for themselves and the rest of us.

And so there is no need for high flights of fancy or romanticism. Venus has no aspects but her square with Saturn, which has been expounded here. Love life may seem dreary or nonexistent.

The sphere of the intellect, of information and understanding, may seem barren also, but the attempt to keep learning will be rewarded. Those who are slower may be more thorough, tortoises who outstrip the rabbit who tries too much too fast. Students may note that "authorities" disagree, and have to struggle over that. Which one is right? Maybe nobody knows? Or maybe one has to choose the authority one believes as best one can.

The moon opposite Mars on Tuesday-Wednesday, in the fixed signs Taurus-Scorpio, suggests this kind of plodding or slogging on. Maybe the laborer even has to wait patiently for his pay, or recognition, and keep on working so he will get it later.

The grand trine in earth signs (only while the moon remains in Taurus) does suggest some good fortune with money and material things, even if less than one had hoped. People are also attending to health needs, as through diet and exercise. Keeping the body in trim is quiet satisfaction.

The moon will be void-of-course for almost a day and a half (as shown above). Later on Wednesday and almost all of Thursday are times to let yourself be free of anxieties, because you could worry needlessly about too much. Not everything can be firmly encapsulated at such times. Attending to needs using skills is necessary. However, there has to be room for the peculiar or unexplained. There can be room also for the spontaneous and joyful, if you get in the right mood, because on Thursday the moon will trine Venus, increasing into the evening. This may not be ecstatic but could be a good time to free yourself for a relaxed time of enjoyment. You might visit a place you don't usually go.

There are times when it seems impossible to overcome divisions between people deriving from rivalry, envy, or misunderstanding. This could be one of them. Ultimately, we have no "enemies" but ourselves, according to laws of karma; but temporarily we face discord and could be victims of someone's low desires or jealousy. You don't have to fear this but could be alert to it, and protect yourself with right thoughts of harmony and, yes, love, however impossible that might seem. Sri Aurobindo describes the spiritually advanced soul as "one who could love without return for love." And the rewards for this are often more concrete than one would suspect.
