~Self-Certainty~

Moon in Scorpio

< moon in the Via Combusta   < **

If yesterday seemed like sitting on a pedaling exerciser and going nowhere, today should be better. Lunar aspects are encouraging, despite the Via Combusta. And today is the last day before a two-month Dark Hermetic Epoch begins! (August 10 through October 5). Not scaring you, but maybe you should finish up some plans which have been hanging heavy and decide how you are going to work them out for the next 57 days. My standard advice is that new things, radical changes, and new projects should be held back and polished, researched, put in better order during a DHE, rather than implemented. This of course can be modified according to circumstances, but in general it is a good attitude to take. It's sort of the difference between pushing ahead full-steam (BHE) versus coasting a bit during an evening and midnight period when things are not as clear, outwardly, although inwardly (as in dreams and entertainment) they are fascinating (DHE beginning tomorrow).

This could be a good day to finish up anything to get computer, phone, or other technological matters in order.

With the sun and moon in fixed signs, you are up for well-defined goals. Your healthy vitality will push ahead, and over anyone who gets in the way. You struggle for survival in your own way rather than defer to anyone. You feel proud, intuitive, and forceful. [Thanks to Grant Lewi for a little of the language in this paragraph.]

The Venus square Saturn aspect, getting closer, could come out today not as "Nobody loves me" but as "I don't care whether anybody likes me or not, I am going to have a good time, and if someone wants to share it with me, fine so long as I consent." Yet you may have a lingering sadness that someone you fancy is not with you. But onward! He or she will come back, or else you will do without, or find someone else. No self-pity! 

You could get chemical or medical things in order, or food supplements.

There could be many diversions, as if on a merry-go-round. There is pleasure in variety. You ricochet from this to that.

You might benefit by drawing, painting, or writing on paper (or its technological equivalent, "screen paper"). You design something or doodle the lineaments of a project suggestively. Then you wait for someone else to make the next move which you can analyze before you make another yourself. 

Important instruction is available to you, which you can consider before instructing someone else. Yet there is an artless, spontaneous, childlike element within all the study and calculation.
