Tom Thomson – ‘The West Wind’ c1916 {{PD}}
We have a single, subtle aspect perfecting today, Pallas contra-parallel Ceres; it may be entirely subliminal, exerting an influence below conscious awareness–and that can lend it way more punch than it deserves. What’s wise or practical comes up against any role we play that sees us exerting our personal power, negotiating for what we want, or calling the shots with those over whom we hold sway. Somehow, taking charge contradicts the smart move, and exercising our Will turns out to be impractical. Does that mean holding back, taking cover, abdicating responsibility, is our best choice? Not necessarily; both bodies are in Fire, and that may suggest that this discord is a prompt to find a new, smarter way to make our Will felt, to offer our guidance, or to take a ‘Big Picture’ stance in negotiations. Old forms of Power expression don’t work as they used to, and what’s wise has changed over time; this aspect brings that reality to our attention, and asks us to adapt, if we want to remain potent and relevant.
‘Fleeing skeleton’ By Władysław Podkowiński 1891 {{PD}}
Today’s word image is: the last book you purchased. Have you read it yet? What did it come to mean to you? Or is it all in the title, a personal message from the Universe like a note in a bottle that washes up at your feet? In my case, I’m going with the title of a book I picked up just today: ‘The Bone Clocks’ by David Mitchell. Sounds like attending to my aging skeleton might be advisable! What about you?

Great post, lots of powerful food for thought and not just for the 30th!
I used to buy books obsessively and addictively. I did read most of the ones I bought. Or try to read them, some just weren’t able to be read by me all the way through. I’m not sure if the books were okay with that, but you can’t please all the books you buy all of the time.
Last book I bought was awhile ago from a local 2nd hand shoppe – The (Enlarged) Devil’s Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce. I was chuffed to find a hard copy of his amusing view of words and their alternative (often cynical and sarcastic) meanings. I came across his work originally online. I have dipped into it – it’s a dippy book.
What does it mean? It means that everything is open to interpretation, and with T-Sat and T-Pluto in Cap, the bones aren’t necessarily what’s rattling inside of us 😉
Thank you, upturned!
I think you’ve made a brilliant observation, with those two in Cap, it’s not just the bones that are rattling inside us–too true–but that may mean things that get our attention are more noise-makers than fundamental–and maybe dipping in to the ‘devil’s dictionary’ (that can be a euphemism for just about anything) is the only way to approach things, without worry if we’re dealing with the foundation or some noisy bits–they all need attention 🙂
