\Rest plus Smooth Industry/
Moon in Capricorn
As mentioned frequently, both Mars and Mercury are motionless, a rare phenomenon because while Mercury slows down and goes motionless six times a year, Mars does so only once in 2.5 years or so. This has been unusual and I feel it as lassitude. How about you? I watch political broadcasts and podcasts and it feels to me that nobody knows what is going on, that it is "one step ahead and one step back" for everyone on both (or all) sides of political- or opinion-differences.
There might be a discernible difference in this "lassitude" or "ennui" toward the end of January, and then an even greater improvement beginning February 7, and then further "out of the woods" beginning March 7. It's not that nothing is possible till then but that we should be patient when it feels like pulling taffy or walking on chewing gum.
Symbols for the day are appropriate. "A man is lying upon a sheaf of corn, asleep, with viands at his side." There could be "dreams, visions and vain projects" because one "fantasizes while others are working." At the mercy of others, one could neglect simple everyday opportunities close at hand. However, given the planetary "lassitude" outlined in the previous paragraph, some of this could be natural and helpful rest rather than laziness.
That's specially true in that we are in the final day of an Old Moon, a time often given to extra relaxation. However, the sun is beginning a smooth, vitalizing trine with Mars and so there is energy to tap into, as if one were "a beaver at wok upon a tee overhanging a gorge." "Work will be a matter of daily and continual pleasure." Powers of endurance could make for a sure pathway to success as long as one balances industry with recovery.
