I see on Twitter, "70,000 Burning Man revelers stranded in muddy mess." Guess what? In the forecast for Monday we had "A man wading through mud knee-deep, the bank toward which he is struggling enveloped in fog." Combined with Mercury, Venus and five other planets being retrograde, this makes it clear that we need utter patience to cope with what seem "perished hopes and abortive speculations." It shall all get better, at latest by September 15 when Mercury turns direct or September 23 when the sun enters Libra." Meanwhile the Burning Man revelers may have a good time, within limits, yet still there is the mud imprisoning many--until Tuesday, according to estimates. That would be the day the Mars-Saturn quincunx loosens past 3 degrees. What was the "mud" impeding you on Labor Day?

Tuesday: We may feel like "a woman feeding chickens and protecting them from the hawks." At the worst there could be "personal ineptitude in the face of life's everyday and recurrent complexities." However, there is "a capacity for control of events through nurturing the things which are desirable and rejecting those which have no immediate value. The keyword is Shrewdness."

From August 28 through September 9, Venus at her station remains at this degree: "A jutting rock upon which tufts of grass hold a thin but certain existence." The keyword, Constancy, indicates "firm and steadfast character. One will hold resolutely to beliefs and principles though it be to one's disadvantage. Whatever one may determine upon as the right thing to do will assuredly be done if within the compass of resolute striving."

It's a back-to-work day for many. "A man is resting lightly on the end of his bow, with a quiver full of arrows on his back." He or she is not necessarily a warrior, but "a quick observer and designer; a prompt and skillful executant." This may be true specially after Luna enters Gemini (time below) when she shall trine Mars, both in air (skillful) signs.

The |difficult third| of this week is at its peak, so moods could be dark, yet we could by recharging our spirits feel like "a fine horse, with curved neck and flowing mane, prancing in the pride of his strength." At best we could be noble, generous, and kind-hearted; also proud.
