~What We Have~

We work with what we have. That simple statement is meaningful today. There is no gain in moaning about what seems lost or unattainable. What is here and attainable is what you have and is sufficient. Your memory also is sufficient, reflecting what stands out as important. If you work with what it reflects, as in a looking-glass, you will know what to do.

Someone charitable has a destiny to be helping people. You may see him at work in a place where people are served food or drink.

Promptings of desire could be intense. One knows not where they come from or what they mean. Would your analyst or therapist know? I am not so sure. The TV series In Treatment is revealing, showing that therapist and client are both groping toward answers neither knows. Yet you can realize you are not helpless, and keep your activities normal, free of abnormal isolation or drift as well as of preying on anyone through overweening desire, during the void-of-course time especially.

You want to be bold and independent. Yet to do that you are relying on something solid as a structure, almost petrified; a set of rules or habits you believe have sustained you. During the Dark Hermetic Epoch (until April 6) it is good to hold on, for survival, to what has been your support in the past. Things which happen will validate that you are on the right track.

You can keep practicing skills and pushing them, no matter how hard it seems. Then when you are passive and thoughtful, you will not degenerate into lassitude, but use that period of calm to regenerate yourself before you push forward again, exact with methods and rules.

You have your own space to retreat to. And you are your unique self, using all that uniqueness to overcome all your limitations. That feels good. Your small victories sustain the cosmos.

How do people become vindictive and malicious? Psychiatrists and criminologists will tell you what they know and what they surmise. Often those evincing violence have become embittered when they feel they have failed a test; and then blame the world. They need to see that if they don't qualify in some realm they will qualify in some other realm where they can be proud of themselves.

[If you wonder why in these reports I repeat things which are perhaps generally true, and consider them forecasts for a day, it is because they are suggested by the daily chart and can turn up in your life and thinking in multiple ways. As to the previous paragraph, you might meet someone who is very angry either on the surface or beneath the surface. Or think about such a person or feel like one temporarily. Or study something about such individuals or see a movie about one of them.]


The Venus-square-Saturn aspect, still with us strongly, began February 3 and lasts through the 18th. For many these are critical periods of self-doubt and the seeming failure of love both given and received. You might be so impressionable that you think every little indication of failure or disapproval is the collapse of your hopes or your life. Please realize that this is a temporary "sobering" period which afflicts us only so we can get a firmer spiritual footing. Valiant attempts to be courteous to everyone are a remedy, for you see that they also are suffering as you are in one way or another.

We continue to press forward, working with what we have.

Moon not void-of-course


*Toward Success and Affluence*

This seems a far more satisfying day than yesterday. There is encouragement for plans, hopes, transactions, dealings, career attempts and projects.

Beyond the third dimension is the fourth, in which the whole sweep of human and individual history is unfolded, and within which dwell higher dimensions. The problem is that in that sentence I am using temporal and spatial metaphors to suggest what is "more than" temporal and spatial, and so language fails, except in the extraordinarily competent, thoroughly crafted and brilliantly expressive language of Sri Aurobindo whether in The Life Divine, Savitri, or his other writings.

[As mentioned yesterday, when I write gnomic things like that, which are true every day, I am doing so because the daily chart suggests their current powerful relevance.]

Higher mysteries abound. They turn up even in ordinary places such as wherever people share food or drink. Yet even if you surmise people would not react well if you stated them, because they wouldn't understand, these mysterious truths are active within you when you give them leeway. Yet the deepest truths are not achieved without effort. Human life itself is an effort toward them. They come to many after decades of activity and trial.

Trying to be free, you resort to whatever will work to keep up the appearance of freedom. This is straightforward action, and also caution in avoiding dangers. You see how to "hide," as it were, from people who at present would likely interfere with your progress. Impetuous acts in your neighborhood or community also could help you be or feel free, and may be protected by current aspects (if they are not violent).

Observing everything from a high level of detached competence, you will reduce or eliminate sorrow. Trials you have gone through in your younger days may be fading away. (This is a help to ameliorate the condition mentioned in the next-to-last paragraph of Tuesday's report.) Self-protection, perhaps especially emotionally, is felt as a need, so you are constantly measuring the conditions around you, economic and social, so you can adjust efficiently and avoid embarrassment. But this is easier than yesterday.

The possibility of falling, that is, failing in some way and having to pick yourself up again, is there, but if you avoid blind and ill-considered action you will be safe. Someone who is tasteful or somewhat snobbish, conscious of clothing or style, might be an ally to a degree if you are able to connect through mental rapport.

Mostly the day is positive. It could be very smart to press ahead and make contacts, connections, proposals. Anyone in business who might aid you or be an ally might respond well to requests. Your intuition, in this regard, will be correct, guiding you to the right approach to personal success along any line.
