*Sincerity and Persuasion*

After a slow start, this could be a good business day, especially after the moon enters Aries. Before that, we may seem to be going in circles. Things are just beginning to take form. 

Rashness and revolt need to be avoided, perhaps by remembering old symbols and teachings which calm your mind and offer perspective. 

If you remain true to yourself, things will fall into place. You contend with some factors which seem dangerous or chancy. Yet inward organization of thoughts will get you to a point where you see you have enough to meet contingencies.

Extravagance and waste are possible. You might feel exploited by your nation or by environing circumstances. Yet you can fit within all that wisely if you avoid getting upset or trying to knock down, devilishly, idols in which your trust has been tested. Maybe they are not idols but icons, images of something with which you need to reconcile. 

You can organize your life in accord with what you have studied. And you can study more to expand useful patterns on which to mold things. Profits will come to you, and fame or recognition, if you are careful in weighing things and measuring details crucial to progress. That has reference to debts, perhaps, and to a near-by partner.

People are mostly sincere. It is good to trust them unless something is obviously suspicious, and even then "the benefit of the doubt" is usually the luckier policy. They may seem to go in circles, subject to settled habits or predilections, but if that makes them somewhat predictable that can be an advantage. They can be impregnated with one's own purposes, as it were, when one is aware how to meet and persuade them rather than order them about.

Sun in Capricorn; Moon in Aries; Foci in 3, Communication and 10, Honor

Moon on course

*From Abashment toward Reliable Resolution*

Things repeat in interesting cycles or circles. Yet there is a pioneering instinct, with the moon in Aries. A social factor could be intense as well as tense, yet not off-putting. People are trying to be free despite the pressures of a New Year and the business factors in which they are enmeshed. There could be some abashment 

concerning debts or other money maneuvers, a feeling that one needs help, yet a willingness also to work seriously for whatever is to be gained. 

A meeting with someone you have already met could prepare solvency in some regard, or at least revive one's spirits. Those who have seemed enemies can be conquered through persistence in the course you know is right.

Fears of inadequacy are normal--they do not have to result in arrogant or wanton actions which are really defense mechanisms. Others feel inadequate also and taking that into consideration could make us more tolerant and therefore more at ease in doing what needs to be done. 

Analyzing things may seem boring at times and yet some profound study and thinking can lift you over obstacles you face, or turn obstacles into cushions. An obstacle in the past is a cushion. Then you can reach a height you have not reached before. It is fun to imagine that one could win at the racetrack, but more ordinary modes of "gambling" as in taking care of ordinary business astutely are more likely to yield results.

You may be close to your father, a grandfather or father figure in some part of your consciousness. You appreciate the sincerity in him and something about good times you shared, as well as their recurrence over and over again through the years. This can be a source of strength in meeting and resolving whatever is before you.
