\Becoming your own Normality/

From the above it's clear that we have a little more than a day of "progressive" time and then almost a day of void-of-course, from Friday evening to Saturday evening. The "progressive" time however, in accord also with its being at the end of the week, looks astrologically good for very routine things, putting all in shape before the weekend in an ordinary way. Then the late-Friday-to-late-Saturday void-of-course time is good for relaxing, letting yourself recover, explore, be yourself with as little pressure as possible. That does not mean, of course, that there should be no inward aspiration.

A time of letting-go is sometimes advisable. I am often encouraging you, and myself, to keep going, pushing, achieving. Perhaps that advice should be almost the reverse during this period, although the moon in Virgo is good for getting routine things accomplished, such as taking care of your body and household. However it seems like a time for giving yourself relief, and perhaps connecting with friends in a casual, non-pressured manner. People have to recover sometimes. If you feel some of your projects, or career objectives, have collapsed, or are not working out in any definite manner, you do not have to give up, but might take this time for working some of the future out in your consciousness, with hope, rather than pressuring yourself to do much in any objective sense for now. It is a good time for insight into past failures and future potentials. Perhaps you feel you are not qualified for something you have been wanting to accomplish. That is most likely a temporary feeling, although looking into ways you might improve your approach could help, as long as you are not overly anxious. Some answers may come now, others later.

Perhaps you are in, or have one foot in, a seemingly peculiar relationship. This Other is hard to comprehend, perhaps subservient to you in some ways, seductive; leading you on in ways of which you are suspicious although you appreciate the attention. Who is in control here? Or does this connection get tangled like an electrical cord with another cord, nobody knowing where it should be plugged in? Maybe the one seemingly in control is really the one being led. Or maybe he or she leads the Other in a direction which pleases for a while but then turns out pointless. Pardon me for being pessimistic. Perhaps there is a way to work through this with patience and, yes, love, if you can summon some which cares as much for the Other's welfare as your own. Perhaps the fact that neither seems to know what is happening is not a detriment but a necessary temporary eclipse. While you are groping in the darkness, as it were, something good is developing.

Whatever losses you have felt, financially or otherwise, can stimulate you to re-think your position, and perhaps find a better spiritual orientation as well as a better practical one. This, in both cases, takes time.

A sort of normality of perception is wonderful. This is a resting on yourself, your inherited and learned wisdom or perspicacity, trusting yourself to observe, from a high position, what is going on, and then adjusting yourself to it painlessly. "Oh, I am seeing how to deal with all this without tears. All is coming into view so I can direct it faultlessly before long." You can put yourself inwardly on a platform from which this is possible.

You may think I preach too much, but I have to say that recognizing one's dependence on the Supreme Lord and being submissive to His direction, often through scriptural or spiritual study, is essential, at this and every point. If I did not say that I would not be true to the Reality I have seen, thanks to divine grace.

Respecting that One is the best way of respecting oneself. Then with such a solid assurance, difficult connections with people, and slow reconstituting progress toward hopes, become smoother and easier in an ineluctable fashion. Perhaps the simplicity of it all is what disguises it.
