Essentially, we have a situation which in which our moon is void-of-course Monday and Wednesday, but not Tuesday. This suggests Tuesday as the best of the three for arriving at important choices or decisions and setting them in motion.

It's evident that autumn is in the air. As I write on Sunday, the moon is declining toward the New (early Monday morning), together with the sun in Libra, the autumnal sign. I feel it in my bones, and the weather reflects it. There is something comforting about thinking of evening as a time for relaxing around firelight or lamplight with a drink in one's hand, enjoying a cozy internal perspective rather than a picnic-y outward one. Each has its place; but the autumnal feels right because it is now.

Often there is lack of energy near the New Moon. I feel it, and it often continues a day or two into the New because still very early in the cycle. That means, take your time; maybe Tuesday will see you perking up with a sense of where you are going next.

Although Monday and Tuesday are the |harsh or emotionally difficult third| of this week (exact times given in the previous forecast), you may feel this as normal, and rise above it to some degree, since many other factors look heartening. Financial worries of the weekend and Monday will seem less pressing Tuesday; you lighten up because in the midst of activities the intense concerns dissipate.

Life goes on, and you need not succumb to dark thoughts though the days darken. You have developed pride in your home, your family, your sense of belonging somewhere and to someone (or Someone). If there appear threats to your status, you need not despair, even if some regard you with enmity. This is what the Saviour went through for us, and those who know Him know they can remain strong as He was.

To be strong through love is a familiar idea, but you may be realizing some of what it can mean. By all means don't be shy, but let yourself experience your neighbors, co-workers, any and all, in a way which tries to overlook suspicions and find the best in them. Or, at least, you can find peace in letting them be, as you want to be let be. Human life is colorful. Looking for the color and artistic value in human beings, even at their worst, is a subjective art form. It leads to happier socialization. You may see something funny in someone, for example, but hide your amusement to be nice; yet it can evoke a friendly feeling, as a child will take to a funny animal doll. This is not condescending, if you realize also that others might be seeing something funny in you.

In having fun together, and letting personalities shine forth, some may fumble and "let the cat out of the bag" or reveal something embarrassing about themselves. Ah well. It happens. It humbles us.

Some are alluring to each other. In the "fall," people fall toward each other. It is often inexplicable, and often temporary. Assuming that an attraction might be mutual is better than assuming the opposite and being too shy. It might last a day, an hour or a second but has meaning while it lasts. And has value after it ends, in memory and experience.

Your neighbors are not your enemies. It might be good to take up with one or more of them in a friendly way to see what you have in common, or don't, and be more at ease around each other.

It seems that behind pride, and worry about status, or about "enemies," there is a sense of security, because you know that somewhere, somehow, you are safe from unjust opinions about you and need not truck to them or think about them.

Rather, secret wisdom--secret because you learn it in your own way and could not explain to anyone exactly how, or even all it means--is your entree into a happier life of association with people, whether you seek that directly, indirectly, or not at all. This secret wisdom is partly from the past, from ancient teachers as they have handed it down through more recent ones, and partly your unique internal heritage. It gives you poise and freedom to interact with people in a way which is mutually respectful yet light and liberating.
