My impression is that so much is going on that we may feel it's hard to choose what to do each moment. This is not bad; in fact it is a welter of opportunities. Mercury turned retrograde on Saturday but this does not seem to be making things impossibly difficult, just rather unusual. Everything calls to you, and you want to answer everything, but of course must limit your choices.
Who is like a "wild boar"? A neighbor? Someone at a distance who has been valuable for you? He is not tricky, but very honest, yet will not tolerate anyone interfering with his own view of things or his solitary interests.
Eccentricities leading to litigation or contention are possible. (Sounds like Washington D. C.) But it seems that wise counsel is available to counteract unhappy results.
Mutual respect can lead to interpersonal communion within broad normal community functions. You are acquainted with some who are intelligent, harmonious and beneficent. True spiritual leaders are rare indeed.
A quiet, peaceful, secluded life has its rewards. Some are called to that at various times. That does not mean they have no force of character or energy; they could be reformers or pioneers, even if often cloistered.
Much unfolds through one's own inner intelligence and perceptiveness: "The germ grows into knowledge and life." With courage comes audacity, daring, and valiant pursuit of aspirations.
{Monday} /Welter of Choices\

P. S. I just read about some of the anger and violence at demonstrations and protests on Saturday, in Charlottesville and perhaps elsewhere. I have to say I came close to predicting something like that in Saturday's forecast:
Saturday suggests some easy popular enjoyments. There is contention and strife in the background, perhaps, because of what has been going on in the world in general, but not in the foreground. ~ That depends, I supposed, on where one was in the foreground! ~ The ordinary can be pleasurable. ~ This was true for me in a big way on Saturday. ~
. . .
The world is a pageant, or a demonstration of human talents and glories, if we accept it for that. Within the pageant is drama: Insight into others' character or personality, and a resultant ability to command or influence them. This gives one a feeling of personal power.
~ Yes, doubtless protesters on both sides felt they were influencing or commanding others, and this gave them a feeling of personal power, which is one reason they were there. It indeed looked like a "pageant" in some of the photos I have seen.~
Interesting viewpoints develop as to the real value of others and their pretensions. Are they really as knowledgeable or competent or thrilling as they wish to be and assume others will see them? ~ I can hear the protesters on both sides reacting with "Ha Ha!" to that. ~ We can be tolerant of a bit of "posing" if it is harmless and leading toward something more real. Forcefulness and firmness of character is being developed. ~ Yes, no doubt it was, though not in ways Sunday school teachers would recommend. ~ This rests on personal integrity while trusting oneself and one's abilities, and not being disturbed by others' pretensions.
~ I think that was quite an accurate assessment of what went on at some of these rallies and counter-protests. ~
{Saturday} ^Game of Influences^ ~ Indeed! ~
