*Sextant and Compass Point Ahead*
[As I looked at the chart for today I felt I should forge ahead with a prose statement as best I could. I expect to continue with the poems, daily or most days, for I feel they are more adequate to the subtleties of the symbolic degrees given out by amazing clairvoyants over the past two centuries. Today I put what I could from all that into prose form which felt more natural at this time.]
People are interested in others' relationships as well as their own--the relationships of friends or relatives. One can see them looking for answers, for direction in their relationships--needing a sextant and compass to steer toward the right mate or stay with her or him. How is it possible to aid this from the outside? Or is it possible at all? "The stars" are propounding that riddle. Your answer to it depends on intuition, experience, good sense and good will. It is painful to see someone one cares about alone or lonely, or feeling abandoned, or uncertainly seeking for support. Being a matchmaker is a peculiar experience--or a precarious one. Just showing that one cares might be as good or better.
Attempting innovation is important to prevent stagnation. When people look like they don't have a hope in the world, some stimulus, some word of encouragement, some gesture or kindness can be the pick-up they need in order to recover.
A tendency toward the easiest path is not entirely wrong. We do not have to be whipping ourselves toward greater efforts every minute. Still, it is good to be trustful toward people, and that means trusting that something they want or would like from you is good for you to give or attempt to give. We have all been hurt by trusting someone not at that time worthy of trust--yet trusting is usually the better course, especially with long-term friends.
Tastes are interesting. They are refined gradually. It's like selecting tracks for a playlist. There are consistencies in one's tastes through life, yet also growth and expansion. I have found that forcing myself to listen to music I don't like at first has been growth-promoting. It contributes to generosity of spirit, giving other people including musicians the benefit of the doubt. Then there is more generosity also in feelings and associations.
Innovation in your home is paying off--getting things in order, perhaps the heating system at this time of year, or holiday decorations. Fresh order and fresh color revivify. Innovation in career and study is good also. People express all kinds of doubts about "the economy" or any particular business or career. One does not have to listen to all that! There are always new methods and avenues waiting for the entrepreneur or for the one who wants a new job or a better approach to his current one. People have worried about "the economy" since you were born and for centuries before you were born. What a waste of good energy! The time is right for forging ahead with your best plans, your best shot--something new is happening and you are new.

/moon goes void-of-course at 7:38a PT | 10:38a ET | 3:38p UT
until it enters Taurus at 12:41p PT | 3:41p ET | 8:41p UT
|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week begins at 3:27p PT | 6:27p ET | 11:27p UT
\Clearance and Readiness/
The difficult part of the week (in an internal, karmic, soulful sense) is moving forward from the weekend to earlier in the week, gradually. This time it begins for the first time on Thursday (evening), ending near noon on Sunday. The best way to use these is to watch them for yourself every week and determine what they mean for you. I find that it is futile to depend much on other people at those times--for social life, fun, partying, reassurance. People are too wrapped up in their own troubles generally to be great friends at these times. But if you want to be a selfless friend, just being there for someone, fine. You may pay a price for it, but that's partly what life is about especially during these periods. (Remember that this does not begin until evening today and lasts through Friday and Saturday until Sunday noon.)
Lonely spiritual seeking is also good at these times, although for those who adopt a devotional path, the loneliness is cured through one's relation to the Supreme Lord in whatever visage one realizes Him or Her.
The magical device he uses to map his path
Is pointing to a place where lovers wrangle,
Suffer, break up, reunite. What has he now
To do with this? There is shouting fierce on one
Side; weeping sad upon the other.
Duality means dueling, daring to be two,
Then one again. And then it seems like none.
He cares about these couples; but does not
His path diverge? He gathers cast-off flowers
From the stream of consciousness still flowing through
The wrecks of lovers' quarrels. After absorbing
Their poignant essence he throws them fiercely
Back into the torrent. If he meets a woman he
Will push her angrily away. Now he sings:
Harshly, sweetly, madly: Forces mighty surge
Through breast and throat. The sky is riven:
Lightning strikes not far ahead; then thunder
Rolling like a drum announcing war.
What is real now? Something in him needing
Not a compass; this path is his; it innovates,
And compensates for all his loss and wariness.
It matters not if no one understands.
