‘Lion Dancing at Sugou, Gifu Pref. (Sugo shihsi, Gifu)’ By Tanaka Masaki 1978 Gift of the artist CAI CCO

The 24th is a Good Day To . . . make your status, power position, or reach felt in the world. For biggest payoff, make sure what you do doesn’t suffer conflict between commitments and what you should be doing (anybody who’s ever procrastinated knows what I mean!) And about what you hear: is it too good to be true? Then it isn’t. Today, the better you know yourself, the smarter and more useful to your ends your choices will be.

The 23rd is a Good Day To . . . separate wounds from your empowerment position (knowing the difference means you won’t act out of some unacknowledged hurt), align thinking with creative impulses, and accept not getting your way or the need to acquiesce to others as the appropriate (and most rewarding) response you can have at this moment.

The 22nd is a Good Day To . . . follow these guidelines: what’s beautiful, delicious, worthy is also good for you; the mind may be torn between the pull of the past and the need to move forward–look around for others on the same path–they can help you resolve the emotional block that’s keeping you from moving along; and it’s smart in the moment to do what’s practical or wise without regard to ‘missing pieces’ that you’re either ignoring or in denial of, but carry that on too long and it becomes detrimental.

The 21st is a Good Day To . . . realize that what we believe is embodied in the material world, right in front of us, and that may help us rid ourselves of an illusion or two. The creative, imaginative, the world of what can be can’t flourish unless we can clearly see what already is; that’s our job today. Also: a tough evaluation of the validity of personal values as well as being cognizant of those times we’ve followed faulty instincts (that is, mistaken tainted reasoning or wish fulfillment for our true North inner guidance) will make the responsive nature and its pitfalls clearer, and so steer us away from thinking that’s rooted in hurt or feelings of powerlessness.

The 20th is a Good Day To . . . consider health through the lens of power, and identity through the lenses of what you honor in real life, and what you honor within. The theme for today is assessment; thought, not action. That doesn’t mean you can’t do, just that you need to be clear on the implications of the doing.

‘River Scene with Forest Beyond’ By Walter Leistikow {{PD}}

The 19th is a Good Day To . . . exert yourself, and in so doing change, transform, or reform those who have power over you. It’s not about being aggressive; rather, it’s about healing negative feelings on both sides by showing what you can offer, provide, or innovate that is original, unusual, or surprising in a positive way. Hint for success: honor the beauty in everyone, but most especially in those who are hiding it on the inside.

The 16th it’s a Good Day To . . . exploit the action urge through roles or empowerment avenues we already hold or are empowered within. Reasoning is as far from the influence of our own hurt as it can get, so this may be a good time to make decisions we then carry out through those roles and power positions.

The 13th it’s a Good Day To . . . whatever you do, reject illusion, deception, and don’t acquiesce to looking away. To do this successfully we’ve got to want to see the Truth, see reality. Embrace this completely; it’s our way toward reward, Beauty, Love, positive change, and our way out of being at the mercy of the group, out of accident, out of chaos.
