“Gone are the shockingly bright pinks, yellows and purples of summer, replaced by deeper and darker reds, yellows, greens and the beginnings of brown, all of equal vibrancy and beauty. And soon, as the 34 degree weather and diminishing daylight would lead us to believe, a blanket of white will fall upon the landscape. Enjoy the change of seasons wherever you may be!” NPS Photo / Katie Cullen 8 September 2012,19:18

Our interactions, what we treasure, and perhaps our finances, are severely challenged this weekend by authorities or the power structure–and by challenged, I mean we are put in a position where we may have to choose between our values/ what we care about and complying with a demand, probably delivered obliquely, so we don’t see that there’s no room for negotiation. This power play may be subtle, and we may question ourselves rather than the ‘request’ or requirement; instincts may stir in protest, but we could be tempted–or encouraged–to see this as our own unreasonable or selfish nature. We’ll recognize the situation by the way we become very uncomfortable–accept this warning, as one of the things we may not see is how this will cost us, once it all plays out (Venus perfecting hard aspect to Ceres, Pluto, and Sedna). Staying empowered calls for both clarity on our ideals and a willingness to face the unpleasant or ignored. Do this and you’re likely to come out the other side of this transit period personally much stronger, and with a small wound healed, one you didn’t even know you had.
Have a great weekend, and try my books; the newest on Vesta helps you connect to what’s most important (and so plays the biggest role) in your life. And if you’ve already read it, reviews and ratings at Dog & Sunflower or Goodreads are very welcome!
Julie, I wish you were wrong sometimes 🙂
The way it worked out was: I made a mistake and mulled all day whether to own up to it. Since Venus/potential losses are involved, I will face the music and hope for the best. That’s my natural inclination in any situation, but this one isn’t straightforward…
Thank you for your guidance, it was instrumental in making this decision.
Hi …,
You’re welcome, and I’m sorry it didn’t go more smoothly for you. It sounds like you have a plan–and it does seem right now that those who are willing to face whatever is in front of them will do well–I have no doubt you will, too.
