Lying down depressed, he formulates comedy routines. He
Tries them in a venue sporting terraces and peacocks. A man
Bearing gold-red glasswork meets a saintly lovely lady.
A crystal gazer scans englobed warm scandals: and she laughs.

*The Human Comedy*

As you can see, Saturday should be a day of rest, so whatever you need to finish should be done today before the void-of-course time in the evening. Despite the |difficult third|, other good lunar aspects (trines with sun, Uranus and Mars) suggest you could feel victorious through chosen endeavors. It's not wise to expect people to be applauding because the |difficult third| makes all rather touchy.

Yet you carry on as if the world were applauding; at least you have your own intense approval, and that is good. You are acutely aware of signs and signals which appear to protect you from unwise actions. This is a gift; it tells you, "You're in doubt, so leave this out" before you do something which would be harmful or just waste your time.

Whatever seems to have been a loss need not be terribly upsetting, because you inward poise is able to rise up from loss with aplomb. However, it is well to be aware that there are dangers in the world, without imagining unreal dangers. There are individuals whose anger and resentment at the world make them pestilent. When you get wind of one of them who could affect you, it is well to clear out or find some way of avoiding him and his either malicious or upsetting stratagems.

People are aware how they could be deceived, even by those who have good intentions but are misinformed. You can avoid such deception or confusion deftly by attending to the skills and talents you have and using them in a solid way, which should be possible no matter the moods or misdirections around you. Accomplishing what you do best is a remedy for depression.

People follow false paths and recover from them. Often the paths in question are not totally wrong but "necessary errors" in order to get the lay of the land and see what doesn't work so one can find what does. Then you will be able to guide others, like a trail guide, who could perhaps avoid some of the mistakes you made. You may do this indirectly, because something seems lacking in your skill or approach, and yet you are shrewd enough to do well for yourself no matter what the appearance to those observing. So you muddle through.

A fantastic human being, perhaps but not necessarily a woman, could bring you luxury and happiness to some degree. She is never cruel or harsh: a lover of peace and harmony. Her appearance is impressive and she will converse sweetly with you. This could be in a luxurious or somewhat ostentatious setting. One can only be deeply grateful for a friend like this.

You can identify the best course if you are thoughtful. Realism seems wonderful compared with misleading or delusive paths you have already seen to go nowhere. Through careful reflection you avoid pointless arguments or conflicts. It may be that some of your deep thoughts are brilliant, although you would find it impossible to convey them in any ordinary way to anyone. Yet what you perceive and know is a treasure even if you alone appreciate it.

Entertainment is not missing. You can gravitate toward it naturally. It is a release. The |difficult third| makes it harder for people to feel free of worry, but there is much to enjoy. There is even a sense of humor percolating up from disappointments. What can one do, sometimes, but make fun of them?

Even when you feel alone, you will appreciate yourself and your ability to see into others, their maneuvering, their weaknesses. This is not sadistic, but realistic, and humorous in a good way if you are not mocking people but appreciating their colorful humanity. Their fumbling attempts and even self-deception can be entertaining so long as you prevent yourself from being hurt by it.

Saturday 23 March 2013
Sun in Aries and Moon in Leo
/moon void-of-course all day
|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week
continues all day

A glass bubble floats from the sky, interprets stars
And desires, wafts sweet scents afar; is it Ozma?
Two bulls fight below; a hawk ravishes a nest;
Ennui chokes the streets. The lady of love smiles.

*Making the Best of It*

This is not a throw-away day! (I am in denial.) Well, maybe it is a throw-away day. No, no day is a throw-away day!

Anyway, you can see that with the moon void of course plus the |difficult third| it might be well to "take it easy" in the good sense of that timeless phrase.

Someone kind and accessible, with an easy manner, will make the day happier for you. She is at her best when just being herself. Whatever difficulties either of you are experiencing, there is a wisdom brewing in your communication with each other, so that everything takes on a timeless, uplifting symbolic value.

Practical business matters could be taken care of, gruffly, as if they were a nuisance, but they are not impossible, As always when the moon is void, no really new deals should be accepted. offered or undertaken. The routine and familiar is safer. Something more ineffable and subtle is afoot, a desire to be your best through a kind of magical kindness which wafts from or through you to the world at large.

Worries may be normal at such a time, but you can separate out pointless worries. Common-sense thinking leads to enough enlightenment for the day.

Whatever strangeness you encounter, or whatever peculiarities well up from within, they are designed by a beneficent, conscious universe to help you comprehend what is not easily comprehensible and gain aplomb in the process.

Spring has sprung and you might be conscious of its charms. There is ruggedness and heart-richness as well as earth-richness in country living. That is well and good, but a warning is necessary: Some who feel loveless could be impatient and assertive, thereby injuring rather than blessing someone to whom they are attracted.

It is not necessary to make an enemy. Realism and restraint can prevent that. Rashness is possible, probably because the day could be frustrating when you find it hard or impossible to do some of the things you wanted, in the way you wanted. So "cool it" is wise advice.

Too much of a good thing could be a problem. I don't want to throw cold water on what could be a pleasure day, with the Part of Fortune in the 5th sector; but even conventional, ordinary pleasures could turn into exploitation of nature, others, or oneself in a way which ends unpleasantly. (Please don't let this advice be a self-fulfilling prophecy; turn it around.) What are people really looking for? could be a helpful question to keep in mind.

The person mentioned in paragraph 3 could be a key to turning things around. He or she is a lover of peace and harmony. Quarrels have a way of diminishing or disappearing in this person's presence. With her or him, you are able to interpret the meaning of life in a broader, easier, happier, more understanding and loving manner. If no one like this turns up, you might get in touch by phone. At least you have memories and visualizations of such an individual. Consciousness is reality.
