}Recuperating Alone or with the Carefully Chosen{

Those of you who are attentive to the forecasts have noticed that there are more disasters or accidents during the |karmically intense third| of each week as for example last week the horrible capsizing of a ferryboat in Korean waters. (That time, the moon was in Scorpio the sign of death and a water sign, along with Saturn: gruesomely accurate. In my area there was the most intense rainstorm we have had in a long time, with one disaster known to me.) This time I do not predict any disasters--I never do--but suggest that all take special care when in dangerous situations. Ideally astrology would help us avert disasters rather than merely comment upon them in afterview. Police and emergency services are very dilatory in taking account of what Cosmic Piper provides here. This blog could save lives. I do not make myself heard or understood, not for want of effort and dedication. If you know of someone working in police or emergency services of any sort I hope you will alert them to these forecasts and the help they could provide.

A friend recovering from dissipation slept through one of the |difficult third| days last week--a smart thing to do when necessary. Some might need extra rest today. Yet there can be special success in one's career area and inspiring, fortunate links with individuals in upper echelons (Venus trine Saturn among other indications).

Loneliness and isolation stem sometimes from inadequate connections with people; those could be "forced" sometimes to your benefit--"I don't want to be with these people but will do so anyway as a matter of principle" could be a good attitude. Yet really unfamiliar paths probably should be avoided, for there is danger of stumbling and hurting oneself when one is not adequately prepared for something unusual to one's experience.

Thinking beyond death makes one stalwart. The near-death experiences now available in countless books and films are very helpful in showing us how to think about death in a better way and keep our poise in relation to it. 

Measuring and manipulating circumstances brings intelligence and order into them, and resulting efficiency. 

During the almost 15-hour void-of-course period one could wander within tortuous fancies and worries rather than accomplish anything. Simple, honest efforts along the lines of routine work and necessities are probably best. As for rare fourth-dimensional insights coming to you, wonderful if they do; you could save them in memory or writing for future pondering. Taking them too seriously before you see their value could be problematic.

A go-it-alone tendency is all right to a degree, yet paragraph 3 is pertinent. The sexes may segregate themselves from each other. Being alone versus in a group or with an individual is an issue you can meet, and win through conscious discrimination of what is best. All need some recuperation yet also need one another--a gentle discrimination in one's consciousness could reveal the middle way, choosing contacts smartly yet not avoiding all.

Thursday 24 April 2014

Sun in Taurus; Moon in Pisces; Foci in 11, Friendship or Hopes and 2, Possessions or Allies  **

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week ends at 10:24a PT | 1:24p ET | 5:24p UT   ***

~Hopes Partially Fulfilled~

The stock market is extremely hard to predict by any method, including astrology, yet from the daily chart I would suggest that it might go up wonderfully today--but if I am wrong, please do not blame astrology. It would appear that "the Market" as investors and traders like to call it has a way of its own:  If aspects are very bad, some traders feel an urge to invest to improve things for themselves, and the Market goes up. If aspects are very good, some may look at their gains and sell to get their profits, and the Market goes down. It is not at all obvious what is going on.

People need time to collect themselves, to recover from the intense pressures of the now-exact Grand Square, and today may do just that when they can. Some may go too far and be careless or lazy, passive or indifferent although claiming high positions they have not earned.

Many feel adequate unto themselves, spurning the opposite sex even if mildly interested, finding their fulfillment in entertainment rather than direct interpersonal relations. They want liberty; may express themselves bluntly and get away with it.

Appetites may not be controlled, so there is overeating, or a tendency toward that hardly managed. The moon in Pisces with Neptune can be a dedication to spiritual illumination, and this would have rewards many, including material ones (an effective and observable paradox). 

Some are clandestine in their pursuits, secretly striving for what they would not confess in the daylight. This has sometimes unexpected or upsetting consequences. At worst, it leads to calamity or early decease. 

More optimistically, we are near the center of a Bright Hermetic Epoch (March 20 through May 22), and so can organize definitively our projects, schedules, and intentions with little chance of error because our minds are on track with reality (Mercury aligned with the sun).

The better indications, including Venus's trine with Saturn and Sol's sextile with Neptune, promise good fortune to those who have earned it by diligent labor emanating from a pure and honest heart. It is no wonder they feel they have a right to relax and enjoy when they can.
