 A lot is possible now, at a sort of turning point. You may be very happy that this week is ending, and feel that coming weeks will be at least more tolerable and less pressured. (But I do have to add, in good conscience, that the Dark Hermetic Epoch lasts until Friday the 14th, two more weeks, that is, a time to study and develop major goals and train yourself toward them rather than implement them, unless you are very sure of them.) (I thought out every word in the preceding sentence as carefully as I know how and meant what I said; it is not a meaningless generality but an important directive; it is up to you to see what it means in your own case.)

You are happy with your capacities. You sense how generously you are endowed. At the same time, you know you need to restrain yourself from premature or over-excited adventures which could cost you slow progress toward your real objectives. (Again, every word here has been thought out precisely.)

As for a time of fun, which most of us would welcome at this point, you needn't look beyond Friday, which looks to be a fine time for a party, get-together, date, social gambit or entertainment of any kind which appeals to you. Not just because it's Friday but because of promising, relaxing lunar aspects combined with the near-exactitude of Venus sextile Mars. Where has love been? Hiding behind Saturn while Venus has been with that planet; now it peeks out at least and you "know who your friends are" at this point. It might be harder to find new ones but could be possible.

The happy trend continues on Saturday, though with less vigor perhaps. Sunday looks more withdrawn and "serious" (as made evident above in the time of the |sobering third of this week| and the v-of-c time).You may be good at putting things in their proper places, sensing how to weigh, measure, and dispose items around you in your home, office, garage, kitchen, workshop. Taking some time to do it will reward you. A neat environment awakens better thinking, and vice versa.

There could be contests of the body or mind. These might not be labeled "contest," of course. You encounter someone who wants to argue perhaps, or win at a game. "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another" say the Psalms. Or this could be going on within your own mind as you prepare for such competition.

So much seems promising, yet something is missing, or seems to be; you wonder why fate has denied you this and that. It is well to realize that you have what you need, in a beneficent cosmos, and "make do" with it while enjoying yourself.

If neighbors or housemates seem to be hindering you or fencing you in, this is something to deal with in your mind; I would suggest through prayer. The injunction of Jesus to "love your neighbor as yourself" is one which has seemed impossible to me very frequently, to say the least. Yet remembering it and trying is a strong palliative if not a cure for problems in the home and neighborhood. This begins as struggle in the mind, leads to prayer, and can eventuate in greater harmony and peace of mind.

There is a pronounced intellectual side to things. You are seeking or finding explanations. Who is equipped to tell you what you need to know in some area? You could learn from this person, whether the teacher of a course or author of a book. Likewise you may be preparing yourself to be a better, shrewder teacher in some way.

Let's hope it will be a weekend of gradual growth into the approaching very interesting phases of our lives for all of us.
