We think it and it happens–or at least, we do it–and yet the wisdom upon which our choices are based is both oddly anachronistic, even straight from the past, and disempowering, somehow. There are two things going on that are creating this discord out of what seemed an almost magical facility for translating thought to action: one is the way we are in rebellion against our own ambitions (and so taking a contrary approach, as if we’re being forced to want what we want!) and two, our attention really needs to be going toward matters we’ve been ignoring or denying, or that have filled us with rage–even though we keep thinking we don’t have to address them, just yet. The remedies? Be clear on the ways in which you are undermining, even rejecting, what you know you want; and deal with those matters that can no longer be ignored–the denied energies are permeating us and our intentions, without our awareness, and robbing us of this brief window where we can think it, and make it so (Pallas nov SN, Uranus opp Zeus, Merc parallel Mars and sq Juno, Sun sesq Black Moon Lilith)
