A fire of passion attracts serpents of lust who twine round her neck
On the houseboat. The game is "follow the leader," who shows where party
Treats can be enjoyed. We sound the deeps and study the sky :
Ready to fare to a rustic home where autumn colors abound.

I am feeling (and perhaps you also) the Grand Square among the planets as a frenzy of energy and determination to get things done. This is not always easy and sometimes disturbing--so much to do! Yet when I get in motion I find I can accomplish a lot more in a day than I had expected. I hope something like that is going on for you also, because we have only a few more days until the Dark Hermetic Epoch begins on October 1. Of course, that does not cancel all plans or make them futile, but because it tends to make for more backtracking and indecision it is better to get really important things done now as a way of preparing for the "dark days" (which, like dark nights, can be good for personal pleasure and entertainment provided it is safe).

Here is a paradox to consider. (It is these sort of complications which make astrology hard for people to comprehend, so that they give up too easily.) While we have the Bright Epoch, and also a smidgen of it during the Dark until the "really dark" when Mercury goes retrograde on October 21 for three weeks, we have somewhat harsh or compelling aspects. That is why I said it is good for getting things done. You feel them almost as tangible energies pushing you to "get it done." Fine. Then, during the Dark Epoch, beginning about October 11, we have nicer, sweeter, more pleasant aspects, trines and sextiles, and a diminishment of the harsh compelling squares. So, we have a double indication that the Dark Epoch is an "easier" time in a sense--and could be a time of way too much dalliance and partying and fun! (I have to be a grinch sometimes to be responsible.) So, the message I am trying to get across is, since you will feel like and be pulled into such sheer relaxed enjoyment in the middle of October, now is the time to "get it done." I am trying to follow that advice for myself. Be the ant now, the grasshopper later. (Poor grasshopper, he may be headed for many a fall this Fall, but maybe he will enjoy it all.)

Thursday:
There could be strong passions, intense feelings, too much focused on yourself and what you want from people. One is likely to lose out unless one is able to harness others' feelings to one's own by making clear to them that one is on their side and cares about them. Then they will follow one's lead, not feeling subjugated.

Speed is good if it is well-focused. You can put your mind on just one object at a time, and succeed, rather than being "busy" with too much at once. You would like to direct people creatively, which is fine if they understand why you are directing them in a particular way.

With Venus trine Jupiter, you feel that so much is available! You can luxuriate in wealth or others' wealth. Everyone else has needs, and they need not clash with yours but could if you rely too much on privilege. Rich fulfillment is here! You can re-invest some of it so it stays.

You could win publicity and adulation if you make those who partake of your skill or product feel that you are putting them in a pleasant situation of peace, comfort and simplicity. 

Some self-denial is fine, to cover expenses and provide for future needs. A sense of humor about "doing without" could help. This is a balance to paragraph 3. Venus square Mars can be conflict. You do not have to get ahead of yourself through impulses which would waste your energy or be too forceful to succeed.

Something about real estate, or a home or caravanserai  at a distance, could be promising. You provide for your household needs, and perhaps for others'. The constitution of the earth and the atmosphere wherever you want to live could be worth considering.

A congenial party atmosphere can happen frequently. This could become too impulsive, so that you toss away happiness through a desire to compete overmuch, or refuse to "lose" gracefully. Letting someone else win could be fine. This is true in love as well as games; jealousy could poison things. Seeming to lose a game of love is not tragedy; it makes way for further adventures.

Friday 27 September 2013

Sun in Libra, Equivalence; Moon in Cancer, Patience; Fortuna in 10, Honor

Moon on course

Sitting on a fake throne with a tinsel crown, he tosses
Treats to a child. A woman to the side draws aside
A curtain daringly. The assembled group focus on a
Flame of aspiration radiating wisdom from the east.


~Faithfulness to the Best~

Last call! for finishing things up during this Bright Hermetic Epoch on a weekday, for next Monday is a difficult day with harsh lunar aspects and Tuesday begins the Dark Hermetic Epoch. It's nothing to fear, of course; if you are 30 you have been through at least 90 of them already. But things can get topsy-turvy and muddled. If you have agreements to reach or basic business decisions, now could be the right time. 

Friday:
There are plenty of opportunities for enjoyment, even satiety. You may wonder if things are too easy for you or if you are making them too easy. As long as you are sincere about beliefs and principles, applying the same standard to yourself as to others, your position will be secure.

You are able to communicate ideas you have held back, or kept semi-secret, extremely well. You could fascinate people in power by adroitness of thought and insight, which is also practical. There is less uncertainty than there has been in recent days. 

Those bereft of parents and family are often, in some nations, forced into sexual slavery. This is on the way to being ended most places but is far from ended. You may get hints of some such situation today, even in the U. S. Psychological and physical shelter is needed for many young people.

Libra individuals often argue just to bring out good thinking in others. This can be confusing and it might be going on in your life now. Seeing both sides, estimating them, seeing how they complement or supplement one another, is essential. That can cure gloomy fatalism or ennui. 

You have been grinding away at something connected with your job, career, or project for a long time and may feel that you are getting there. This grants relief and even a humorous perspective on things which formerly troubled. Yet your labors continue, realistically and triumphantly.

"Coming home" is happening. This could be only in mind and awareness, as you think of your childhood home or some other earlier one. Such thoughts give you a blessing by taking the best from the past and catapulting it into possible future situations of homelike simplicity and comfort.

Fidelity to what has sustained you in the past is sustaining you now. You sense where power is centered, where the sources of the world's inner government are lodged. Honors are coming to you, perhaps from the east. Faithfulness will grant glory and an important position.
