Week of Saturday 22 April through Friday 28 April, 2017
\Gently Revitalized Perspective/
Many feel that they are circling around from good fortune to bad, from greater benefits to lesser, from hope to worrisome doubt, and back. This may be normal, but is accentuated when Mercury is retrograde and Saturn square Venus. Yet potentials of greater prosperity seem in the offing this week, as compared to last. That may seem truer after the New Moon on Wednesday. Until then we coast quite a lot, which is normal at the end of an Old Moon and even more this time. You needn't be ashamed if you are slower then usual and need more rest.
We see ourselves reflected in others more than we realize. Yet we might also see sometimes that others are being decadent, losing their foothold or good sense, and we don't know what to do about it. (I suggest prayer of a humble and questing sort. That is not an attempt to control someone else, but to give him or her support while finding the way.)
The prosperity mentioned in the first paragraph comes fairly easily, that is, in small but promising amounts at least. If you go where there is art, and beauty whether humanly created or natural, you will benefit. Someone dignified and meritorious challenges you, by example, to be successful.
Your mind is ripe for discovery. That is, although you may get wild ideas, even false ones, or questionable enthusiasms, so that you wonder if you are imagining things without substance, still there may be a core of truth in all that for you to discover if you pare down.
You might be attracted to gardening or horticulture, that is, the welfare of plants or trees. Radical changes in that area are not good, but gentle or considerate ones could win.
The harshness of life, or the stark cleavages of fortune, have seemed to be with us to an unusual degree, and we have to bear with them patiently. Acute observation, as a detective, can solve problems and prevent harrowing happenings. It's realistic trouble-shooting. It requires self-denial or abstinence part of the time.
The patience of a giant tortoise ambling through life slowly but surely while able to withdraw within itself to security at any time could be yours. Someone who has been successful at teaching or an intellectual mission could inspire you.
Love is very real, even when it seems under stress or doubtful or even unwanted for a while. It happens magically. The sextile of Venus and Mars, though waxing and waning, remains within orb through July 4, an unusually long time. When you feel isolated, if you stop and ponder you will realize that you have friends and that you are loved. Keeping up with disciplined timing in your daily life will help you to meet opportunities for joyful interaction when those become available. The less delightful tasks prepare the way for meetings and shared happiness.
There is impatience. It is important while Mercury is retrograde not to go running off half-cocked, as if running away from something. You may feel, "Enough of this!" but if you just take a vacation from the drudgery in your mind and feelings for a little while, thinking of something you like or believe in, you will be restored and able to stay loyal to what you really do not want to lose.
Many are likely to become critical and quarrelsome. There is too much of that in politics. Others' beliefs and traditions need to be respected as much as possible. This is sometimes a mental stretch, which is healthy for the muscles of sensibility and understanding. Those who seem decadent, giving up on family loyalty, spurning the traditions which fostered them, can find their way back, and then understand what they had lost for perhaps the first time, living its virtues rather than suffering its vices.
