}Overcoming Temptation to Deviation{

Moon in Aquarius

As often, the aspects and symbols point to binary sides of human life which seem either contradictory or paradoxical to our consciousness, unless we have been trained in Hegelian or Daoist (Taoist) logic. We have the need for keeping on with a laborious task. And we have the likelihood of rebellion against ordinary dull tasks. Obviously you have to solve that dilemma yourself. There is something you do regularly like "turning a big wheel" without which the world would fail. That is a burden and yet it is what you have to do and if you do it without complaining the world keeps turning and you are safe and happy. It gets you involved in human life in ways you might want to avoid but when you accept the involvement by diving in you gain fulfillment. Were you to truckle to uneasy escapist assumptions, you would feel harassed and worried and your time might go to waste. 

The mission you want to carry out could lead to fruitfulness, gain, a prosperous life. You would then feel generous, with many friends or a large family. To attain that you need to fight off the things which would hinder you. 

"A soldier derelict in duty" might be what you fear you would be if you were to deviate from what seems clear duty. Ryan Adams's song "Come Pick Me Up" posted here today is a perfect dramatization of "Oh what the hell, let's just drop everything and have a relaxed happy time." I am tempting you with it! Or, it might fortify you to find a way of keeping up with duty while still enjoying life somehow. The "bald-headed man" who has a taste for dominance could be your boss, a real or imagined guru or coach, or yourself in your sterner poise toward yourself! By obeying his or your directives you are not less but more powerful. 

We have another symbol of rebellion, "A deserter from the navy." "Come pick me up, let's go to the port bar!" Well, maybe not. You are aware of some glittering gem, diamond, gold-piece which is lying there (bitcoin for some maybe) and you think you could get it, it seems right there to be mined, but to do that you can't be a deserter from what is really dear to you (if you were to stop and ponder). The "navy" is some routine you owe to the social-economic scene which has made your life possible in the first place. By doing that you will still find time for your personal "gold mine" endeavors. 

All this is highlighted by what I pointed out a few days ago: Today is the very center of this Bright Hermetic Epoch (September 2 -- October 28). With Mercury and the sun conjoined, you can see clearly. What is it you have been thinking about, planning, plotting in the past few days or weeks? Some of it is likely to be just right, just what you need to do. You maybe have tried to organize eating, dieting, exercise in a better way. Good. Maybe it is study, learning, course material or a skill you want to improve. Good. Maybe it is fresh business or financial or budgeting methods. Good. You are likely to be right about a lot of that, and so should not let those insights slip away from you after these golden moments have passed.

{Thursday}  {Overcoming Temptation to Deviation}

Here is the temptation! Sorry, but it might be an inoculation against deviation:  Ryan Adams, Come Pick Me Up

Or:  Do the duty stuff first and leave a little time and space for what the song suggests! Be careful. Remember, the song ends with : "I wish I could." 

P. S. I think these forecasts are damn' good. Please introduce them to someone who doesn't know about them.
