^Long-Term Success^

The exact conjunction of Venus with Uranus (today) has interesting effects on relationships and friendships. It can be "the end of one's rope" with someone, resulting in a "scene" or "telling someone off." This can be very bitter and divisive. It is hard or impossible to unsay what one has said if one releases anger and resentment. It may have happened to you in recent days. Even very good friends grow impatient with each other. Of course it is better to remember how much a friend really means to you before you say anything critical, hurtful or divisive, and try to find a better way. We cannot reform one another, and part of the meaning of friendship is that one is tolerant of a friend's problems and defects. The things one likes about her or him override all the "other stuff," and that is why she or he is a friend. 

Fortunately, the moon is trining Venus and Uranus (all day but especially in the evening) and so you may be repairing or recovering from a break with someone which happened perhaps Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. 

Important business had best be taken care of today instead of Friday, when the moon will be void-of-course all day. 

Song of the day: Let Her Go by Passenger

This number could promote calm and detachment when it comes to relationships, with a dose of melancholy resignation.

Connecting with beauty in work is relief from drudgery.

Being simple and impulsive goes with being diligent

And strong. Something must illumine the useful and cut

It from the useless: a balanced magic lantern.

Frail and luxurious, he drifts, then is angry that no one

Respects him. Then gains courage, defending his honor,

Yet none sees his virtues. He feels abandoned by treacherous

Friends, with no choice but to swim through resentful waters.

Passions are dangers, emotions confusions, adventures perilous,

But skills develop approaches to grudging long-term success despite risk.

Some want what they want when they want it, and some force their issues

While some, sagacious, are calm, keeping secrets, maintaining superb confidence.

^Letting It Be^

It's a v-of-c day, so it is wise to focus on basic essential routines first of all, then on spontaneous satisfaction or relaxed recovery. Not wise to pursue anything new or questionable, or make promises or large purchases.

Carrying the flag of their loyalty, they insist on working

For their cause. The beauty surrounding them reminds them

Of the noble goals they cherish, and their honest aggressive

Stance compels the world and Nature to follow their lead.

The student of Nature, passively gorgeous, trusts in the glories

The slanting sun reveals to her ardent vision. The monstrous creature

She descries turns out beneficent, prodigious as her

Peaceful thoughts and greenery-draping silhouette.

They sense the horror of the wraith of greed,

The hurtfulness of what would seize the world 

Or toss it to its ruin for slight gain. 

So they steer away from it to safety, competence.
