There are endless problems with Blogger! It messes up paragraphs, changes type-face, runs lines of my poems together . . . it is horrible. You can get a better version of these forecasts at http://cosmicconnexion.tumblr.com/

The raven spills the coffee, scolds the boss.
The smoker hides around the corner. The  
Crowd smells bad. The rabbi's scripture says a
Firm gate opens to those who hold the key.
 
}Getting the Drift; Through it to Inner Security{

We seem to be in strange times indeed. I am not ringing an alarm bell exactly, but must warn that if you feel completely lost, be careful in your reaction to that feeling. First, realize that you are not alone. It is a cosmic or at least an earthling condition, for everyone on the planet. Second, realize that drastic change would only make things worse. Holding to routines as best you can is probably best. This is the sort of day when one wonders why one is even bothering to go to work or tie one's shoes. Perhaps many will call in sick or otherwise slack off. That is understandable.

Yet beneath all the inertia, lassitude and confusion lies a profound spiritual strength to which you can turn as your refuge.

There are also strategists of a worldly or political sort who can be amazingly adept at doing what they are supposed to do, or look out for all of us whom they supposedly "serve." Maybe they actually will do so, to the best of their ability, although on a day like this it may require faith to comprehend that they are doing anything worth while. Some of them are, to a superlative degree, though within the limits of the current situation.

People want to protect themselves from imaginary (some of which could be real) enemies, ambushes, or deceptions. To do so they turn to their heritage, usually of a spiritual nature, or at least ethical. Each one's way of doing this is different. It involves "standing on the shoulders of giants" to get beyond malaise.

There can be hearty enjoyment of a hearty meal. You are fortunate in having what you wish in that regard.

A ledger at your desk, or digitized accounts, provide tools you need to be sharp and successful with money. If you feel that working with all that is pointless, give it a rest, trusting that all will be well, and when you come back you may see what to do or not-do for now.

An impulse toward liberty is intense. Since the moon is void-of-course, this could take forms mentioned in paragraph 1. Or if you attend faithfully to ordinary work, you will still be emphatic about things which turn up, and insist that you do them your way, the way of your personal freedom.

The religious side of you will seek seclusion  at times to pursue studies or meditations. 

Resentment of those in power-positions could work out in humorous ways. Whether anyone laughs depends on his or her position in the hierarchy, most likely.  Those mocked will not be pleased, and might overhear. You will not be happy with crowded conditions unless they bring somebody you like near by.

A tendency toward rashness and strife can be countered by the strength of security within your place of work. You do what needs to be done, cooperating with those with whom you must cooperate, and somehow anger dissipates eventually even if all is not sweetness and light. To whom do you turn as a haven?

When there is dissatisfaction with working conditions (or even job loss which perhaps some face as a result of the "sequestration"), it is possible to find your personal mandate to continue with what is most important in your inner consciousness. Then the outer path will be revealed, even if not today. Ideals requiring self-sacrifice establish you in karmic security no matter what the current peculiar drift.

Friday 1 March 2013

Sun in Pisces and Moon in Scorpio (on course)
beginning at 9:35a PT | 12:35p ET | 5:35p UT
/moon void-of-course in Libra before that time
Moon in the Via Combusta all day
|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week all day, continuing until around noon on Sunday


Jack and Jill couldn't climb the hill so drifted
To the concert. A boy with a candle
Met them, joining arms; they drank in music,
Quaffed fine wine, espoused deep-held convictions.

From the above indications you can see that the day is problematic. Of course we need to learn how to live through such times gracefully, which is part of the mission of astrology: to help us do that by forewarning us.

Despite those patterns, the moon's trines with Neptune, Venus and the sun in afternoon and evening should give a chance for social fulfillment. This could be in more private or secluded spots, such as home, a friend's home, or a place where you feel secure and unhassled.

Whatever goes deep in you, your immortal nature, purpose or poise, is emphasized in a powerful way, as if you could manifest it through magical powers you didn't know you possessed. It helps prepare the world for better things. Two guides you trust could be working with you.

Self-defense can be a vice if it becomes paranoia, but if it is an attempt to bring out the better side of any potential "enemy" or interferer with your happiness, it is reliance on Spirit in a powerful way. There are higher meanings in anyone's life to which you can appeal, lighting them up, with potentials of manifest goodness.

You seem comfortable about finances to the degree that you can enjoy yourself magnificently, with food, drink, entertainment. Because of the |difficult third| and Via Combusta you may hold this to wise limits, but that need not detract from it.

You sense limits, in fact, as a part of life; you wish you had done more in some way, achieved more, but there is no point in fretting about that; the future remains to you. In a place which is homelike and comfortable you could enjoy exquisite music, drama, or the arts.

You seem to understand someone who has caused mischief, a mischief-maker. You don't approve of all he has done but, like the bad boy in Sunday School, he makes life more interesting. There are benefits in associating with all kinds of people in some institutional or home-like setting.


The values people want to manifest sometimes require them to protest the way they or others are being treated. How to do this is the crucial matter. You may have a mandate to help, to modify impatience and resentment with religious or spiritual teachings, yet not losing an impetus toward greater social justice. 

If there are disputes or turmoil, they arise from disagreements, most likely, over politics, religion, or implicit philosophic attitudes. But you have a way of bringing out the best in people. They trust and confide in you when you respond to them affably, with a sense of camaraderie and shared satisfaction.
