^Firmness^
Moon in Aries
|Karmically serious or sobering third| of this week begins at 12:48p PT | 3:48p ET | 8:48p UT (until very late Friday-early Saturday)
The mix of aspects is both good and difficult, but the Mercury Retrograde phase (until March 10) usually gives the hard ones the upper hand, at least in appearance. So we feel challenged. Some of the symbols warn that there could be "treachery" if we trust the untrustworthy. One thing I know is that there \seems/ more "treachery" in the MR period but this is often an illusion. People are preoccupied with so many things that they are careless and probably do not mean to hurt or abandon you. More likely, they are temporarily incompetent.
Companions may seem a little cantankerous (moon square Mars and Jupiter) because they are trying to be successful and have so much to do. They might look down on anyone who they think is a "slacker." That could be because they are trying to resist "slack" tendencies in themselves. "A man stands with a tankard in his hand ready to drink. Two others standing apart talk together with averted faces." It's better to be hard on one's own vices or weaknesses than on someone else's. Who is proud of everything he or she has ever done?
If making an honest effort to live in accord with ideals, one can be like "a rocky eminence in a turbulent sea." Adverse fortune and popular displeasure cannot assault one's stolid firmness born of established convictions and truth-perceptions. Then when the tide has turned, the waves receded, there are "birds in the house singing happily."
