|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week begins at 2:12a PT | 5:12a ET | 9:12a UT (until Sunday afternoon) */ |
Moon enters Virgo (no longer void-of-course) at 6:47a PT | 9:47a ET | 1:47p UT ** |
As has been pointed out, the weekends bear the brunt of the |difficult third| through June, with Sunday opening up in July. There is not a lot of help from the planets today (Friday) so we are on our own when it comes to keeping our moods high. Something very strengthening could be going on, but the strength derives from your ability to gear up to meet the challenge. I cannot say, Be merry and blissful, though I would like to do that every Friday.
You will want to focus on something crucial. It has to do with your work, profession or job. You want to live up to the best in you. You are conscious of Someone looking over your shoulder to see how you are doing and you want to satisfy that individual. It could be a parent (incarnated or on the other side) or a parent-figure, or someone you admire and want to emulate in your field, or a guru or spiritual teacher. You are willing to say "Boss" to this person, visible or invisible. If no one visible fills that bill, yet someone visible might be an unconscious representative of the One you want to please and so, despite his or her faults, you could feel good about serving or obeying her or him. "All was [is] a game of meeting kinglinesses," says Sri Aurobindo. And queenlinesses.
Some things are very hard to put into words but those are the things you want to put into words, for someone's sake, or for the sake of being understood. It may not be impossible but you need to be prepared for all the usual obstacles (in the other person; perhaps also in yourself). In other words, who understands anyone? Who understands astrology, or comprehensive concepts, or Iraqi politics for that matter? (In 2016, who understands American politics?)
You could be with some very interesting, chatty and attractive individuals. They get you going. That could be your tongue or other portions of your anatomy. Yet this is all very serious even if also socially pleasing. A smile hides the suffering heart. Well, if you feel misunderstood, realize you are not alone. There can be a fellowship of the mind, although you may feel superior to some or all of those with whom you communicate. However, you may not be getting very deeply into anything, any complete or intricate understanding, and maybe the others around you aren't either. Some are merely imitating those they consider intellectually brilliant. "A game of meeting scholarlinesses" perhaps. You may feel you are undergoing a test, but that is not so bad if you remember that you are the reader and scorer of it.
We do not have to brood and suffer but we may have to brood and ponder. Superficiality in ourselves or others will not set well.
Feelings of insecurity may go together with inhibitions. That in turn could lead to separation and sorrow. And so, to prevent that, it is good to "remember yourself" or to remember G*d if you are on a devotional path. When people seem beyond help or redemption, and one wants just to give up on them, there is a spark of something worthwhile in them to recognize and cultivate. That will make everything better. I do not understand how those who do not believe in prayer can do it. The ideal of a real Soul in every human being, or manifesting through her or him, gives us a reason to maintain our faith in his or her worth, interest, and value.
Some detailed study which gives you a handle on the detailed necessities of your work or your financial well-being is something you could do most certainly, if you are able to draw away from the worried brooding consistently enough.
