}Beyond Temptation, Mission Patiently Fulfilled{  

Moon in Libra

< moon in the Via Combusta (until Tuesday)

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week continues (until early Monday)

The day has high potentials but one needs to be alert and spiritually awake to manifest them. What do you do, as a daily or weekly sort of ritual, which helps the world as well as yourself? For some it could be prayer work, "light work," or whatever one chooses to call that sort of consciousness-magic. For others it would be more tangible service which (a) keeps oneself in shape physically, mentally or spiritually and (b) serves others or the world at large. Some sacrifice is involved, yet impressive angelic guidance and assistance received make one sure that one is doing the right thing as best one can.

There may be difficulties which even seem like dangers, stress and limitations. "A serpent surrounded by a circle of fire" means that one cannot expect simple acceptance from people because they seem to hold one captive to their own notions. The distinctive interests or beliefs of others may seem improbable or even ridiculous, and they may see some of yours in that same light. What is peculiar to one may be a necessary phase of experience for another.

There is something like ecclesiastical or religious work, or work with an idealistic organization, which makes for seclusion and protection. At the same time there are temptations toward the sensuous or erotic, as we know sometimes afflict priests, pastors and gurus. Falling into temptation by allurements could be disastrous. 

One requires dominance of oneself before one can dominate others. There could be a sadistic sophistication toward those who, one thinks, ought to understand things better than they do. That is not helpful to you or to them. Jesus was called "rabbi" and was severe in many of his teachings, because he had to awaken people to their errors as well as comfort them. We emulate him insofar as we rely on a heritage of kindness and eternal values while ministering warmly to human needs.
