^Effective Protective Choice^
It could be a good time to get things settled, organized, or set up for the coming period of two months beginning Sunday in which it might be harder to keep up with outer-world matters (but easy to slip into that inner world of your own). The sun's sextile with Saturn plus Mercury's sextile with Jupiter (both exact today) presage efficiency and decisiveness.
A pioneering trend accompanies the moon in Aries square Pluto while trine Jupiter. You are preparing for a (perhaps only internal) journey or quest. You are firm, steadfast, and constant. You'll work with what you have rather than moan about what's missing. You are rugged, robust and sincere, and so get support even if you feel down part of the time.
Song of the day: Saint Dude by (composer and lyricist) Beck
The track by Bob Forrest on the new Beck album is not available yet on YouTube. This version is not bad, in fact interesting. (Of course I do not agree that "the truth is ugly," otherwise I would not be Cosmic Piper.)
Some of those you function with seem stuck in problems of their own about which you are sympathetic whether you can do anything to help or not. The question "Why was I born?" assails those who feel lost. Some feel awkward with someone of the opposite sex, as if that someone's back is turned toward them, or feel modest and reserved. The long square between Mars and Venus (August 11 through September 12) is almost over. They will be in a sextile (very helpful) from October 1 through November 7. Not everyone will have a thrilling love life then, but most will find their significant other much more compatible and harmonious.
If some sacrifices are necessary, you may find yourself able to refrain from complaining because you sense the necessity and value of the sacrifice, which brings about a greater good. You may be wanting to protect someone from harm. What is right and what is wrong can become clear in consciousness and then choice is effective.

^Labor and Invocation^
There's a toughness in the air and in people, "never-say-die." They will fight willingly for what they feel is right. Sadly, given the present condition of the human race in its slow evolution toward something better, this can go wrong, as it did thirteen years ago on this date. What seems right to someone can be drastically wrong. This would not be true if we had our wits about us, but the "deflecting and retarding weight" of evil (Sri Aurobindo's words) can deceive far too many into mistaking evil for good. To say that melancholy fate is the result of choice may seem cruel, yet in spiritual teaching this is a cruel or helpful truth depending on the individual response to it.
Hard labor is not a bad thing when understood by the laborer, taken in the right spirit as the only available path to excellence and happiness. Meanwhile there is a subconscious acceptance of seeming poverty or privation as "just the way it is for now," a salutary attitude. What palliates that is an accompanying hope for something more interesting coming up in life's incessant journeying. "Not yet" does not mean "not inspiring or enabling."
There can be frankness, generosity and quietude in the midst of difficulties gladly met. We plead for mercy for one another, perhaps more effectively than we plead for ourselves, though the latter is entirely acceptable. In tradition, group or congregational invocation is practiced in most religions in one way or another. The power of a pastor's or rabbi's prayer depends on that pastor's or rabbi's spiritual condition. The same applies to each of us.
