Forecast for Tuesday 4 August 2015

Tuesday 4 August 2015 ^Rising Toward Magnanimity^ Moon in Aries   *** We shall continue with daily forecasts, though a half-monthly forecast for the first half of August was posted yesterday. However, I had a full day today and will not say a great deal about Tuesday, except: Lunar aspects are mixed, a trine with the sun which is good but a square with Pluto which can be dark and suspicious. That would fit an event I might attend, a meeting with my Washington State senators to oppose the DARK law proposed to Congress and dangerously close to passage--it has already passed the House, which is very shocking. It would deny us the right to know how our food is produced, deny states the right to pass laws requiring that genetically modified foods and crops be labeled as such. It is supported by huge money-interests such as MONSANTO and opposed by ordinary intelligent citizens who think they have a right to know what they are eating!  If I go, the meeting will be a reflection in my life of two aspects for everyone today: Luna square Pluto, that is, facing and fighting the money interests such as MONSANTO (the plutocracy), and Luna trine the sun, that is, working in harmony with people in power (the sun) such as Senators. I have a busy day otherwise so don't know if I will get to the meeting but wish I could.  Today and tomorrow are the two days the Venus square Saturn aspect, while Venus is retrograde, will be closest to exact. Who is missing in your life? Do you think of someone, or more than one, whom you are unable to see at this point? Love can be felt and directed toward invisible objects of your love, even if you can't be in touch with them. Some may be gone from this world, others may seem to be avoiding you in a way which causes heartache. "One who could love without return for love" is the way Sri Aurobindo describes the saint or yogi who has mastered the currents of this love-testing aspect. Let's be magnanimous. {Tuesday} ^Rising Toward Magnanimity^ Cosmic Piper
