Just getting into motion from August 7th to the 13th is half the battle.
Innovation is all around us and it is a blessing. However, our best posture is to rely on the habits that brought us this far. The real magic of the moment is to recognize that we have diamonds in our pockets even when we don’t have the price of a loaf of bread.
7th – Monday – Mercury Parallel Mars –
Diligent attention to detail is emotionally rewarding, but when carefully crafted, it contributes to completing a project. Keeping our attention in the present makes better use of our time and energy. There are mistakes made in the past that have imprinted themselves on the current situation in the world. We need to acknowledge the difficulties, then move on.
8th – Tuesday – Even though our pace may be slow, we can progress.
There are some circumstances that have been overlooked. Left-handed compliments can actually show us something important. A new approach to our repetitive tasks can open doors. Some habits are up for modification.
9th – Wednesday – Mercury Sesquiquadrate Pluto, Venus Square Uranus, Mercury Trine Jupiter –
Obsessive attention to things gone by can leave us exhausted. Emotional capriciousness puts us out on a limb, soon to be sawed off. We must relax, have faith, and pay attention. We don’t need a ski mask and a gun to take money out of our own bank account. We earned the gifts that naturally come to us.
10th – Thursday – Not every scrap of information has to fit into our personal filing system.
We can appreciate the beauty of a tree without counting every leaf, or even identifying its kind. Mental gyrations and fascinations have their place. But, pleasure and purpose work hand in glove.
11th – Friday – We move fastest if we accept the help as it comes, without question.
It is easy to get freaked out by the future. Preparation for change should be joyous. Relinquishing habits from the old world requires letting go of prejudice and privilege.
12th – Saturday – Sun Parallel Jupiter, Venus Semi-sextile Mars –
When we lift our sights above the conflict, friction becomes harmony. Listening to others builds bridges when we are authentic and compassionate. Ground clearing for a new civilization requires proper understanding and concern for the welfare of others. We get closer every day.
13th – Sunday – Sun Conjunct Venus –
To express our true beauty, we need to share what we have with others. Art, music, and drama can all express the Divine’s love for humanity. As our values shift, many things we strive for will disappear in the mist. To hold our most sacred possessions close to our hearts transforms us for good or ill.
