*Determination Within Expanding Social Accord*

For those feeling unloved, or missing a lover, or partner, or friend, or otherwise feeling that something is missing on the human level, let me say that we are in a period when Mars and Venus are squared off against each other. This affects both other-sex and same-sex relationships and would-be relationships (courtships to use old language). It does not mean that nothing is possible but that everything in that area is problematic, doubtful, or otherwise seemingly unsatisfactory. Of course there can be exceptions to that in the case of remarkably "made in heaven" relationships, but those are rare and even some of those may falter at a time like this. It lasts at least until March 14. Then--remember this or mark in on your calendar--a period when Mars and Venus are in a favorable trine will last a couple of weeks from March 22 through April 5. This is not mere theory! I have tested these times carefully over the years through observation very carefully. It is not that everyone will be head-over-heels in love during those two weeks, but it will happen more often than usual, and the harmony between those attracted to each other will often reach exalted or ecstatic levels. Verbum sapienti satis est. (I may or may not repeat this prediction.) Being lonely at a time like that is not permitted. You will have to be out and about and interacting to get the full benefit. (It's a month away.)

In terms of value, this prediction is enough for one day. However . . . 

There is determination to carry on and use whatever you have, today, including old things used in fresh ways. We all have our designated work and you will feel better if you do some of it. (I except orthodox Jews who follow strict Sabbath observances, of course.) The sun conjoined to Neptune plus the moon squaring it may make us lazy, but some activity you believe in will make you stronger. (For the foregoing, this could be spiritual rather than physical activity.)

Music can uplift you in more than ordinary ways. Many factors around you will brighten your prospects and lift your spirits as the day goes on and the |difficult third| of this week releases somewhat. When things slow down or are obstructed, you can remain hopeful and wait for a fresh chance to do something which feels meaningful.

Indifference to what is going on around you or to business or opportunities could make you slothful and precipitate loss. You could, instead, observe how a matrix of dependabilities is forming within and around you, methods or procedures you can rely on, rock-like. These establish true paths in your future career.

The social side of the day is not to be sneezed at. There can be accord among those who are naturally drawn to one another, who learn from one another and feel expanded in friendly contacts. A threesome might be interesting. There can be music and youthful cheer.

Through it all you won't forget some major goals of your own, which make you feel worthy of respect in one way or another. It is not a burden to keep them in mind because you sense that the world is fostering them gradually.
