^Facing Issues Calmly^

Moon in Aries
Full Moon of Libra-Aries occurs at 11:41a PT | 2:41p ET | 6:41p UT

Complications involving writing, teaching, learning, communicating, and long-distance matters are intense. It would be work to straighten them all out.

Business and commerce have tangles which seem to go nowhere, yet it is important to try to be on top of them.

People's moods are often "down" because of the Venus-Saturn square increasing by the day (exact this weekend, Saturday-Sunday, but with us by 10 degrees through the 16th). This is the "Who loves me?" or "Nobody loves me" aspect. Over the years I have found it one of the most difficult things to face, no matter how often I have met it previously. I noted it this evening (Wednesday) when passing a young woman on the street talking to someone on her phone and crying. I noticed it also before and after that, because many I passed by did not look happy. I was holding my own, but felt that I had snubbed or hurt someone a day ago, which was saddening, and also felt like staying away from two group meetings I often attend. "I don't want to be bothered--you people don't appreciate me anyway." That is often the feeling at these times. They can be a test of loyalty. 

It is not an accident that one of the worst civilian massacres in American history occurred during this aspect (it began by ten degrees on September 30; the killing was October 1). Most of us escape such intensity of tragedy, but feel ripple effects. 

Thursday:

Being on the defensive is all right, because one feels one has ultimately superior strength. If a battle ensues, one wants to endure it triumphantly. However, accidents are possible and one ought to be careful in all circumstances. 

There is strength in unity and solidarity, even in a crowd perhaps. One meets the variety of the world with courage. This has an erotic aspect at times, but that is soon muted or made to appear otiose or illusory. 

One might feel melancholy, even misanthropic. This could be because of trouble in wedlock (notice the "lock") or in a looser partnership, as if one were being told that one ought not to center one's affections on just one object. (Unless that object is the Supreme.)

There could be actual or metaphoric fighting, "Two men fencing with swords. A man in black stands aside watching them." We experience dualities and conflicts in order to grow through them, but we cannot do this if we remain in the blackness of ignorance, pondering troubles in gloom. We need to kindle a light of mutual understanding somehow.
