From October 16th to the 22nd data and symmetry work in tandem.
Partnerships have to make sense if they are to have lasting value. Arrangements made in haste as a matter of convenience will come back to haunt us later. We can be honest, and kind, and stand on higher principles if we remember why we are doing what we are doing in the first place.
16th – Monday – Being in a hurry can work to our disadvantage.
The hunt for buried treasure needs to be put on hold so we can identify our real path forward. Taking a shortcut may leave us in a more complicated spot. Trying to save time and money can end up costing a lot more each. Still, some motion is probably more useful than sitting. Movement and patience allow us to see more clearly the road ahead.
17th – Tuesday – Mercury Quincunx Uranus, Mercury Contra-parallel Venus –
A quick two-step takes us out of the main circle. If we are smart, we sit on the sidelines for a while. Good-sounding ideas that have no way of becoming real things can still serve a useful purpose. Mission and feeling have to work together. Life is no fun if we don’t have our heart in what we are doing.
18th – Wednesday – Mercury Semi-square Venus, Mars Parallel Saturn, Sun Quincunx Neptune –
There is a hustle to see how much can be accomplished. Work seems to be multiple. Before we exhaust ourselves, we need to see if we are creating more tasks that don’t really have to be ours. Different compartments of life contain different information about what needs to happen. Getting an appropriate balance between the various aspects of living requires effort, but the whole process should be fun if we are doing it right.
19th – Thursday – Mercury Quincunx Neptune –
To have faith in things unseen is a blessing when it is based on Truth. If we are on the right track, it doesn’t matter in the slightest if other people come along with our insights. We must respect other people’s points of view as being right for them. Our job is to know what is right for ourselves.
20th – Friday – Sun Conjunct Mercury, Mercury Square Pluto –
We are really lucky today if we take what is given; reach out and encompass more space. Then relax and let the rest go. It is easy to be swept up in the myriad of long-standing difficulties. We have to face that there are some real unpleasantries in life that cannot be overcome at the moment. It will only be a few more months before all of this changes.
If we don’t personalize any slights that come our way, we are on the golden road. Choosing to do things in a familiar way keeps us growing without much risk. The regular routines bring home the bacon. If we follow the path of duty, we can move on to other more exciting and interesting things.
22nd – Sunday – Venus Trine Jupiter, Mercury enters Scorpio, Sun Parallel Mercury, Mercury Trine Saturn, Venus Sesquiquadrate Pluto –
The most rudimentary and practical insights bring surprisingly quick results. Our job is to feel grateful and to recognize the bounty of creation as it comes to us easily and most naturally. Obsessive or addictive behavior can bring defeat when victory would have been clearly ours. Knowing when enough is enough is a blessing.
