Periodically I need time off for research. This consists of reviewing past events in others' lives, the world's history, and my own life to see which particular aspects, orbs, field systems, and other factors are most pertinent and helpful in understanding and anticipating events and trends. I am very detailed and particular with all of that. I have a whole "stable" of methods which I have used at times and tested, and I need sometimes to pull them out of the stable and let them run a bit in tests I set up (it's the Year of the Horse), reviewing past events. This will help me, once again, to sharpen the methods I use in the daily forecasts.

I am doing that today (Saturday as I write) and will be doing so Sunday also, so I am not writing a detailed forecast for Monday and Tuesday as usual. 

Pertinent facts to consider are:  (a) Mars square Pluto, still in effect, and this can be fury at the worst, extreme impatience otherwise, and a desire to compel someone to do or think or be something. You are not crazy if you are feeling that but of course you need to be careful. You are not a doormat and you can protest when required, but as politely as possible even if firmly. 

(b) Venus is still opposite Saturn and this adds to the impatience with people. They may seem hostile to you, or uncaring, or remote, or boring, or . . . You may feel unworthy yourself, or wonder why friends are so remote or unable or unwilling to be with you or communicate pleasantly. 

(c) Mercury is still retrograde (until July 1, although the Dark Hermetic Epoch continues until July 17), and so in addition to feeling upset with people you may sometimes think they are crazy, because people fall into abnormal habit patterns at these times. Or they may think you are off the beam, because you are acting or speaking "out of pattern." 

These three factors are not easy, but of course there are also helpful factors, including Venus's sextile with Jupiter. This can be a saving grace. Since Venus is in Taurus, it could be happy eating, or overeating; enjoyment of other sensuous delights; pleasure in preparing food or eating out; musical upliftment; and so on. All that could be welcome relief from the other difficulties.

It is wise to calm down, take it easy, stay with routines as much as possible; yet give yourself breaks when you can. Make allowance for the fact that people are going through a hard or confusing time and will not be as friendly or easygoing as usual. 

Song of the day: Headlights by Eminem and Nate Ruess

This is an amazing collaboration by these two. I haven't seen the video yet and sometimes I find them distracting, but the music and words are excellent in depicting "stuff" Eminem has actually been through with his family and it all fits the difficulties in the current planetary situation just outlined.  Eminem is showing us how to be a "survivor" of Venus opposite Saturn and Mercury retrograde and Mars square Pluto.

What I pointed out yesterday, those three major factors, still apply because they are still in effect, so it would be good to re-read that. 

The moon in Pisces (time above) can be laid-back, sweet, easygoing. It's good to do the things which are minimally necessary yet give yourself time for relaxation, daydreaming, meditation and soft pleasures.

If you can manage that--given the problems already outlined.

Song of the day:  Follow Your Arrow by Kacey Musgraves

This could be dangerous advice while Mercury is retrograde and people veer way off course--but this song, no matter its country & western roots, probably describes what many are feeling as well as anything.
