~Generous Cultivated Interests~
Moon in Pisces
The past few days have been a time for considering one's "career" or what one wants to be respected and appreciated for. You may have made progress in comprehending that. Today there are peculiarities mixed up with it which do not have to be bad and yet might go wrong if one got "ahead of oneself" and felt one could gain at someone else's expense. There is the temptation to use one's powers, whatever they are, in a selfish way which would, even with good intentions, hurt someone else. Respect for the Other, no matter who, is important. You might feel somewhat weak and yet shrewd, which is all right provided you adhere to good ethics and try to be kindly.
The scatter-brained or chaotic approach to life is something we fall into because we are going through transitions we don't understand. Thus it is good to ask, What is reliable in my life, what never changes, as if it were "a petrified forest"? One's survival is not exactly petrefaction but requires awareness of the Eternal and His or Her grace. Then there is preservation, as by the Supreme Lord Vishnu, or by Christ Jesus. This is independent of the reason's pseudo-certainties, dependent rather on intuitions provided by the Spirit which inhabits open trusting hearts.
"An inhabited island" is habited by, perhaps, snobby people who think that their cultivation is superior to that of mainlanders. You may be like that in some part of your consciousness, affiliating only with fellow elitists. Yet the snobbery may have good intentions, as if wanting to be the nucleus of a sister-brotherhood of humanity. So there can be gentleness, kindness, generosity and concord, mixed with appreciation of music and the arts.
