The 22nd is a Good Day To . . . scan the horizon for your next destination. Whether that’s a literal trip or an inner journey, sketch out the possibilities and consider new, perhaps exotic, goals, foci, or places to visit. The Sun moving into Sagittarius will shine the light on ways to learn, explore, grow–today we relax and consider a revised ambition picture, while taking care not to erode or neglect the already-established practical, and the stable and wise.

The 21st is a Good Day To . . . do your best to align your Self-image with the actual things you revere and dedicate your life energy to. It’s time to rid ourselves of disparities between the reality we inhabit and how we see ourselves, from the inside out. Today this requires we set ambitions aside, and need to see as clearly as possible not just the reality picture, but the ways in which hurt and the past influence choices as well as our own idea of who we are. Skewed visions of our identity and potentials separate us from our own power, and from claiming those roles where we can be both most ourselves, and most effective. A vague prescription, I know, but the particulars will never fall into square without an unambiguous set of qualities and priorities in place–that’s what we define, today.

The 19th is a Good Day To . . . embrace bringing to consciousness what we ‘know but don’t know’. It does no good to play coy with ourselves; what’s more, it’s in those places we’ve ignored or denied that we find the worthwhile, the precious, the assets, the Love–but that’s only after we slay a figurative dragon or three. Hint for success, just for today: those boogey men are only in your head.

Really, there’s nothing scary in that dark corner. ‘Ukojenie’ By Piotr Stachiewicz c1884 {{PD}}

The 18th is a Good Day To . . . do everything you can to support all facets of your health, including to not be afraid to look in the dark corners (grim death will not be waiting there!) or to consider the less appealing aspects of living in a human body. It’s all for the good, and will mean no unpleasantness will sneak up on you at a later date.

Along with this, look for payoffs or ways to gain or make new relationships that serve the ambitions. Everyone loves a winner, or so they say, and you’ll have that shiny aura today, so why not take advantage of it? Work it, and reap the rewards.

And a guideline for everything: stick to the facts. Everything else will play on fears, or sucker punch you with unwarranted optimism.

The 17th is a Good Day To . . . relax and regroup, after a morning (Pacific time) that is at least tense, and that may involve confrontation that feels life-or-death, or as if we must take action. The brief Void afternoon Pacific time (12:15 PM through 1:57 PM PST) comes after the Cancer Moon’s square to Mars which sits at 29 degrees of Libra, suggesting the potential for drama in relationships, over aesthetics or Art, struggles in diplomacy, and general friction over who cares, why, and what they might do about that emotional investment, followed by the Void when everyone limps to their corner and tries to recover. What follows as the Moon enters Leo is Luna’s quincunx to Ceres in Capricorn, implying that right away we must deal with ‘the rules’ or our power role concerning our own agency, our territorial mandate, about those we are responsible for, or about our interaction with Nature, to include our relationship with the organism we occupy (our body). We should expect an emotional ‘sorting out’, and a certain ‘stepping forward’ in terms of taking a specific attitude toward our own actions and aggression, which we will likely cast in the light of what we need as individuals to feel whole, or to ‘shine’.

The 16th is a Good Day To . . . rebel–or is it? Really, why do we think that acting erratically, spontaneously, unreliably, zigging when others expect a zag, or pummeling others with ahead-of-their-time ideas will get us what we want? That’s not to say that our choice is bad, or that our acts or ideas aren’t worthy, but that it won’t lead us toward our goal–so then we must ask, Why do it? We may have been recently persuaded that our most unique characteristics, those things we’re committed to or honor, or that our own innate wisdom needs doctoring, modification, that there’s something wrong with these most unique parts of ourselves and our lives. We’re given this idea either by someone, or by the way the flow of assets or remuneration is going, right now. It may seem like we must alter our efforts, direction, or commitments, because they are wrong or inadequate, because the future we’re seeing in front of us appears to be a difficult one–but that would be an inaccurate picture. In fact, we must do the opposite: honor our most unique facets and talents, trust our inner wisdom, and honor what we find sacred, without criticism or fear that our standards, or we ourselves, are inadequate.

The 15th is a Good Day To . . . listen to our instincts, especially about our health. Is there something about how we’re pursuing our ambitions that’s causing a strain, running us ragged, are our desires taking a toll that our inner knowing is trying to alert us to? As Ceres enters Capricorn we need to take serious and solid measures to attend, at the very least, to diet and to how stress and our personal power situation (particularly our own sense of agency) is affecting our physical state of Being. Today we also get messages on how to empower ourselves or enhance our status, but we may not realize their validity or potential benefits until after Mercury is once again direct.

The 14th is a Good Day To . . . face health or empowerment issues head-on. Both change and seeing the relevance of what’s happening may be difficult, but it’ll be clear that we need to take a realistic, warts-and-all view of what is, both to avoid losing what’s precious by being misled and to prevent our own rebellious inclinations from taking over at inopportune moments. Willingness to face what we’ve been ignoring or denying is the linchpin to success; it removes that destructive spark of desire to undermine our own cause, and it connects us to reality in a way that makes what we need to do obvious, as well as urging us to make short work of doing it.
