~Wrapping Up Effort Before Contented Wandering~ 

Moon in Cancer

/moon goes void-of-course at 9:19a PT | 12:19p ET | 4:19p UT

until it enters Leo just after midnight PT

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week continues

until it ends at 11:00a PT | 2:00p ET | 6:00p UT

The |difficult or challenging third| of this week, as reported here, was exact on Thursday at 11:10a PT. At 11:20 I heard downstairs a neighbor who is usually not at home making loud noises, shouting at someone, and slamming a door. This is typical of behavior at such a time, though it is usually suppressed. 

Today, Friday, we are free of the |challenging third| after the time given above, but the moon is void-of-course. Of the two, I prefer the latter! It is okay for a Friday when people are trying to wind down and free themselves from some tasks anyway.  Those tasks, this week, may have been onerous for most of us. Mercury opposite Saturn has been with us and remains exact today and tomorrow. It can be distrust, a depressed mood, and difficult working conditions. It requires us to "face what is." 

Capabilities may feel greater than opportunities to express them fully. Decisions in regard to home, appearance, and health may seem pressing but one could finesse them in some subtle way, rather than make a mistake later regretted, while the moon is v-of-c. 

One might feel rather content doing really routine things, which are almost a comfort because they require no special change or decision. Close and patient study of "an old book," or anything with cultural importance in your life, could be helpful. 

One feels proud of some heritage or tradition which one is doing one's best to uphold, and feels like dramatizing it for someone to admire. 

But then there is a less admirable trend to "an unfledged condition of the mind" or "moral turpitude." Does wandering make one "inconsequent and unreliable" as Sepharial suggests? Or could some physical and mental wandering be restorative while the moon is v-of-c? 

We are warned against heedlessness or laziness, in the figure of a lazy bear being stung by a swarm of bees. Not pleasant, but maybe before indulging in the freedoms we love we should make a little extra push to get important things done. (Dear Prudence . . . )
