|Karmically intense or sobering third| of this week continues

/moon goes void-of-course at 2:11p PT | 5:11p ET | 10:11p UT

~Desperado Seeks Hope~

First the difficult part: Often when the moon is void-of-course during a |difficult third|, as late afternoon and tonight, there is a lot of despair, a feeling that one is bereft, and often a concern about someone else who seems lost. One may be jilted, or feel jilted by someone, or unable to contact someone. One reaches out toward what seems impossible of attainment and feels desperation. It is a "desperado" time-frame, unless one take conscious measures to keep oneself calm and hopeful.

That said, there are hopeful indications such as Venus increasing in a sextile with Saturn--realism, honesty and honor in career and finances, with improvements in both--and the sun increasing in a trine with Jupiter--gain, ambitions gratified, mutually beneficial associations. This is muted by the sun's conjunction with Neptune, not bad but other-worldly, inclining to passivity or easy-going dreaming (especially during a Mercury-retrograde period). The helpful indications are in the background, increasing over the next week, and could be summoned up consciously if you refuse to become a lunar desperado.

You can be determined and incisive in at least some areas. There are pure intentions, with nobility beneath them. Solitude or austerity, and religion or spiritual discipline, can have excellent results.

The world becomes more friendly when we are courageous. Sandbanks allow for new starts after temporary obstructions. 

You can analyze and investigate some problems with sharp precision, as if a medical technician. 

You are not totally alone but could feel isolated. Some may avoid you because you have given clues that you were on your own and didn't want to be bothered.

Gay or youthful amusements, and artistry or music, are pleasing and uplifting when you are in a fit mood to receive them.

Sticking with something in the realm of communication--hard or problematic communication--could be important, succeeding very slowly with setbacks along the way. This could be be in connection with a neighbor, correspondent, or career. You find usefulness for items which had been abandoned or discarded, whether physical or intellectual items.

Spiritual comradeship is available in some form, whether with others directly or through media, communication, or sheer meditation summoning up helpful influences on the inner planes.
