From July 24th to the 31st the heat is on and we step forward to try something new.
It is time to let the genie out of the bottle. And we won’t be able to put it back. The flame of love burns bright; we can follow the light into a new self. We discover by doing. We are more than we ever thought. Our ideals are a guide for living.
25th – Tuesday – Emotional excitement can reach a log jam where nothing moves forward.
To hold an opinion that is out of favor with our general milieu may seem noble. However, those that disagree with us have something to offer. We may be generally correct in our assumptions, but wrong in this particular instance. Truth comes to the surface in time.
26th – Wednesday – We are pulled in two directions.
When we get off center, we can find a sweet spot between the opposing forces. In theory, our choices are simple. Without over-thinking we make more satisfying decisions. We act. There are no real mistakes, except not acting at all. When you are hungry and in a restaurant, order something. You can starve to death by forestalling a decision in the hopes of getting more information.
27th – Thursday – Mercury Quincunx Neptune, Mercury Conjunct Venus –
This is a great time to convince others, or sell something. We have a way of framing our attention on the most important features of life circumstances, putting our enterprise in the most favorable light, and energizing our objectives. If we are certain of what we want, we move forward.
28th – Friday – Mercury enters Virgo –
Our desire to get everything in our experience cataloged and analyzed gathers stream. Reason has its limits, but is a necessary step in our preparation for the changing world. Even though there are actions we take now, steps should be incremental, without going beyond our own borders.
29th – Saturday – Sun Quincunx Saturn – Results elude us.
It isn’t so much that we overestimate our ability; more to the point, we don’t see clearly where our obligations start and end. Problems are difficult to solve because we don’t have a way to define them. Our best strategy is to take action in our own lives but forgo over-extension into the larger social system.
30th – Sunday – Mercury Contra-parallel Saturn, Venus Quincunx Neptune –
Our arms need sleeves to reach out to others with our most attractive qualities front and center. Passions and self-assurance give such a potent display to our ideas, doubt seems to disappear. Compromise sounds nice, but it really means capitulation. If our step is nimble we cross the river in front of us without delay or preaching. Creativity abounds.
31st – Monday – Sun Parallel Uranus –
If we are too stubborn to respond to changing circumstances, we are doomed to major setbacks. There is no permanence except in the Infinite. We learn about ourselves by listening, then responding from our heart. All changes are for our development.
