Odin's last words to Baldr W.G. Collingwood 1908 {{PD}}
By 2 AM Pacific a trine of the Libra Moon to Mars, and a square to Pluto, bring an interesting energy combo forward: we are rarin’ to go in partnership and/ or artistic matters, but something destructive rears its ugly head. We may call it change or transformation, but in this case it really is destructive, a vein of energy seeking to undermine what seems like a really good partnership action. There’s something instructive to this, and we’d be smart to realize that when we aren’t hearing the important messages, the subconscious steps in and orchestrates a mini-crisis or problem, to put us back on track–and that’s, in essence, what this is.
In the 8 PM hour Pacific the Moon conjuncts Saturn and then by 10 sextiles Venus. This can have one of two results: either the emotions and intuition are suppressed in the extreme, with a follow-up two hours later that suprises us with our awareness of what’s important (it seemed we weren’t feeling and thinking about any of our Venus concerns, and then there they were!) or, the emos and intuitions are rock-solid, either materializing right in front of us or spurring us to try to make secure our emotional picture. This can lead, by the 10 PM sextile, to either a payoff in love, satisfaction, or even money, OR (and please note, that’s a big one!) may cause us to try to compensate mightily in order to feel loved–and we all know the mega-list of dangers that can comprise, starting with downing way too much ice cream 
Alert! Mars is on his way to meet up with Ceres (due on the 26th). This can be clash of the Titans, pro-active assertion in concert with Mother Nature, taking a whack at Mom, or could make the crispy-hard and yet somehow flaccid sound of two tremendous egos smacking together! Just be aware that this combo is in the air–and duck and cover if necessary.

another (in addition to almost all) great post, Julie. Your readings are so rich, offering contemplation and creative application in daily life.
Thanks very much, Julie 🙂

nice pic 2 julie, a later rendition, etching of a viking funeral? so very jupiter into aries and libra in mourning, the flameing send off, relatives left on shore a public display, releasing spirit.
Thanks, Lucy–yes, it’s the god Odin whispering goodbye to Baldr–I think it’s a block print from a book
Flaming send off–I think I’ve had a few of those!

Hi Julie!!!
Just wondering about today…
Maybe this is just me getting hit the whole day, but I have had literally an entire day of negative experience with landlord relationships. In each occasion there are attempts at fraud, and extortion, and blah, blah, fill in blank… from my mother’s slum landlord, to my old one charging me for things that didn’t actually occur, and even to the current ones we are renting from!!! (I think it is the trend with them that they know its cheaper to just pay than fight it). Today they all kinda came to a head(in my head), and mostly due to my feelings of uselessness, and the fact that none of it is really expensive, but all of it is unethical, I am feeling like quite a frustrated archer. Even Brett is surprised at how many separate, and yet same-themed events came up today… I guess I am wondering after my mild rantyness here, if there is something astrological sweeping thru to make this experience so across the board in my day, and if so a cohesive theme and cohesive and correct response to bring this to a more positive alignment? Or is it more of a personal cosmic message to go soak my head….
Muah!!!
Sorry to hear it, Rae. I think this is a result of all the Ceres crap that’s been going on (authorities overstepping bounds, asking for what’s not really theirs) plus Juno and Chiron are both at 29 deg–those who are still in some sort of juvenile phase are trying to get away with all kinds of taking and justifying it as what they deserve–and they know they don’t. It’s everywhere, but coming up for different people in different ways. I’d stand up to them, because what I’m seeing is that as soon as one makes it clear that nonsense won’t be tolerated, everything falls into place (that’s providing you hold some power–and as long as you have something they want, you do) to begin with.
Good luck!

Snickering! They were snickering literally! The corporate office manager laughed at me and told me to write her a letter if I had a problem with their billing. As if I would ever try to get one over on someone, I believe in paying my way. A google search turned up a slew of very similar complaints, and it seems protocol for this company… to make up things that were not in the final walk thru, didn’t even exist and charge you for it!
I tend to find myself having this choice often, which isn’t so much about the money as I could write it off as ‘universe tax’, but more about all the people they do this to who can’t fight back. I don’t even know how to fight back, where my power does lie(?)other than a certified letter…. and filing small claims(in another state), so actually small claims is just a threat. I guess the question I am asking or weighing in my mind, is I only have so much chi, is this a noble cause that stars will back me in?
Btw, I am not sure why, but every time you respond to me with your calm, insightful intelligence, I just feel that much better. Also, the first 2 situations shifted after being addressed with clarity, and not allowing bullying, but this one, which seemed a basic paperwork misunderstanding allow mean spirited people to laugh at me like I am something to be exploited and demeaned. Just write us a letter. Does the squeaky wheel get oiled? Should I put in some serious squeaking? lol….I could make it epic!
Your response was right on point, as usual. thank you for everything, sorry if I am ranty, insight much appreciated, and Brett says thanks too!!!
Wow-that’s bad, when they don’t even hide their lack of respect (I Tweeted a potential like this yesterday–it’s still at right). You and Brett are both very welcome–I’m sorry my words can’t do more.
Everyone faces this ‘energy choice’ in some form, usually repeatedly, but much less frequently once you’ve established your standards. I think there are two points: one, that, at least energetically speaking, you must always be willing to go to whatever constitutes your morally-supported conclusion; in other words, you must speak, think, and behave AS IF you will follow the righteous course to the end–I find this often prevents problems–people are more psychic than they know (especially unconscious ones–with them it just seeps in to them from the ether) and it makes them much more hesitant to mess with you. Two, you hit the heart of it when you site that you have only so much energy to devote to this–it’s true, on the one hand, but on the other I don’t want you to see yourself as limited. Think of yourself as a conduit for whatever Universal energy needs to come through. Once you’ve tailored your approach it really will be about what you want to ‘feed’–your sense of being effective and in control needs one thing, your sense of peace and moving on needs another. If you’re concerned not just about accepting poor treatment, but about what these people will do to others, then you must stand up to them in whatever way will demonstrate TO THEM that each time they do this it will cost them time, energy, maybe money–since that last is what this is about, it’s what they’ll be measuring. If we look at it only from your side, we might be tempted to say that just moving on, with a ‘Universal tax,’ as you put it, is the only way to go–but, to allow this treatment, this extra charge, is theft, is rape–and those are more damaging to you than you may realize.
Did you get your own inspection copy on the final walk through? Because you should have (and this is part of the way we prevent this kind of problem–we don’t believe what they say, we believe the paperwork!) And if you have that you have your ammo. If not, I think you must carefully measure what you can and can’t accomplish with this. This is a solution that worked very well for me a couple of times when I was young and authority figures treated me this way: I got a lawyer friend to write a letter. Small fee, simple as that. The second they think this may turn into a costly mess, they usually capitulate to what’s right (or nearly so) just to make it go away and keep from drawing attention to themselves and their practices.
It really becomes personal, in the end, and is based on what you want to be in the world (a force for good, someone who Buddha-like accepts everything that comes her way, angry but rid of them, a victim). Certainly, proportion means a lot–and keeping the proportions something you can tackle and are willing to handle in any matter is most important. Epic squeaking can be a very good thing. I hope you can work this out–because you shouldn’t have to take it.

You’re so amazing. Thank you. I called again, and they are now reviewing most of the charges as they realized they can’t prove a lot of it. I was very calm, and clear, and told them I will wait until after I here from them to send certified letter and file small claims.
Very different experience today. I think cause they realized I wasn’t going away.
Thanks so much!!! I’m gonna quote you on my fb…. will post link too;)
You’re very welcome, Rae. I’m so glad you found your peace with this!
