The palms need to be trimmed, the garden cleaned
To enhance the view and ease the paths. The worker
Rests and drowses. To remove the weeds, implements
And a harrow lie unused. Beyond the border a tiger
Watches, ready to spring on any likely prey.
The worker stirs and sings to himself; he likes
His voice. A bas-relief carved by the fountain
Gets his attention; its strength infuses him.
Next door some girls are playing basketball.
Colorful balloons tied above the backboard
Signal limitless potentials. Beyond the fountain
Stands a cross bathed in solar splendor.
All this security enables the would-be gardener,
Who finally picks up the harrow to battle weeds.
The tiger watches the girls, who laugh at the
Lazy worker, who ribs the girls with a harsh
Bon mot. The tiger prowls elsewhere; the sun goes down
While the cross and bas-relief speak wordlessly.

After the void-of-course period begins, it may be well to liberate yourself, modify plans or be open to the new, even be amused. People may be ostentatious and vain. Some will spend too much on medicine or health supplies. Some will feel philosophic or religious differences keenly and suppress them or blurt them out. There is research and questing into whatever fascinates you most about your job. There can be ardent love needs and mutual attractions, probably going nowhere but yielding spice to everything.
There are honesty, sincerity, and willingness to work--bestowed by Jupiter's trine with Saturn, which is increasing and reaches a peak in December. When sincerity combines with good judgment, you know what you are doing and feel happy about it. (The lazy gardener above is indigenous to this day, perhaps, and the sun's square with Neptune about which we shall speak soon.)
It seems that much of the strife in politics, whether internationally, in regard to terrorism, or in the U. S. centering around both the Tea Party and the 99 per cent movement, is a reflection of the square between Uranus and Pluto. It is very long-lasting--off and on, mostly on, from April 2008 until February 2020--that is, by a ten-degree orb, which I accept completely. To look at its most critical effects one could hone that down to a 6-degree orb, which I have not done today but before long I may report it. At any rate, we are at the heart of it now and shall be through 2015. It has to do with individuals (Uranus) protesting corporations (Pluto) and what they do to individuals. It has to do with individuals (Uranus) protesting big government (Pluto) and what it does to individuals. Whether one considers government or corporations the major enemy determines which side of the political spectrum one identifies with. Pluto is something collective which is "too big to fail" or "too big to be kicked around." But beware! The power of the individual is not to be sneezed at. Perhaps individuals are learning how to cooperate to "kick around" the big guys who exploit them. It is indeed a long process.
Mars sextile Jupiter, exact now, is very helpful. It is directness, honesty, being oneself fearlessly, and using all one's talents and skills in a straightforward manner. You may also admire someone else who is doing that, and both could benefit by mutual admiration and cooperation.

Two fairies dance in air through the autumn garden.
A wanderer searches to glean unused provender
From the ground. Soft clouds, mollient, rise over
The scene. A man with bow and arrow aims at an
Invisible target, singing to himself as if uncaring.
A bike and toys signal a kid with opulent parents;
He comes to play on crutches. A late apple hangs
From a tree, grasped by the wanderer before the bowman
Could pierce it. The boy sits at a marble table
To draft a scheme on paper held down by pebbles.
The clouds grow dark; wind ruffles the parchment.
The fairies retreat to the shadows. The boy traces
A royal coat of arms, his family's. The sun returns;
Clouds white once more pile up and cast a blessing.

It's another week before the Bright Hermetic Epoch begins--Mercury is still recovering from its three-week retrograde period, moving slowly. But you may be sensing how the next couple of months into January might unfold and feel optimistic about it.
Yesterday's forecast (apart from the poem) remains pertinent.
Your mind is able to grasp difficult matters connected with your career or skill. You may feel separated from someone unless you make special efforts to be in touch, and even then the tendency on both sides is to feel unloved. This can be overcome through mystical awareness which basks in universal non-grasping love. It seems that work is favored over other interests. When you settle down to that, all looks brighter. Group projects apart from your job are also "work" in this context.
