From September 18th through the 24th if we stay conscious, most of what we see is illusion.
Still, we can benefit by letting the dreamy imagery spark our imagination. We are in the process of waking up. A mirage is only dangerous if we take it at face value. When we are watching a movie, we can be inspired, but we don’t expect the actors to actually be the characters they are portraying.
18th – Monday – What stays and what goes?
Confusion is a byproduct of being faced with a series of uncomfortable decisions. Every sentient being is required to make a shift; this is uncomfortable for each. But when we see the real issue, the confusion disappears. A shot of logic easily clears the deck. Now we must translate our true perceptions into actions.
19th – Tuesday – Sun Opposite Neptune, Mars Quincunx Jupiter –
Our natural inclination is to include others in our insights of the moment. However, what is necessary is to commit completely to our own course of action, regardless of what others think, say, or do. Self-reliance paves the way forward and opens the door to a deeper mystery.
20th – Wednesday – Our perception of the big picture helps heal the gulf between the two possible approaches to our immediate path.
It is easy to go numb and pretend that everything is fine, but this is not productive. Each of us is required to face life’s challenges within our own sphere. We have already crossed into a new world and now we have to find the rulebook. The illusion has changed, but reality hasn’t.
21st – Thursday – Sun Trine Pluto –
We can’t ignore decisions made by others. However, we have the energy and discernment to do what is necessary in our own lives. A clean and pure vision of our own positive attributes works together to create something beautiful. We should be grateful to participate in the Divine plan; it rises to a new level of clarity.
22nd – Friday – Mars Sesquiquadrate Saturn –
Where do we spend our time? This limitation (we cannot be in two places at once) allows us to focus on the critical details that matter in the moment. Too much is going on; daydreaming is not productive. Enjoyment comes naturally by focusing on the small physical happenings. Enjoyment emerges in the process.
23rd – Saturday – Sun Sesquiquadrate Jupiter, Sun Crosses into Libra at 2:51 AM EDT, Mercury Sesquiquadrate Pluto –
Figuring out the appropriate time to act defies logic. Our inner sense of what is right is veiled intuition pushing us forward. If we capture the process of what we have just done, we have a valuable asset. Our memory can sustain us through rough patches that are just around the corner.
24th – Sunday – Sun Quincunx Saturn –
Finding the third way is where the sweet spot lies. We don’t want to wear ourselves out trying to complete everyone else’s half-done task. Also, we don’t want to throw up our hands in frustration as there is too much undone that we could ostensibly handle. Learning more about ourselves entails recognizing natural boundaries; where we end and others begin. Helping is no good when it comes at the expense of neglecting real responsibilities.
