Monju Bosatsu with Eight Sacred Sanskrit Syllables By anonymous – https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/45596, {{PD}} https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=85072362

The 1st is a Good Day To . . . honor what you find sacred, if you want to have no regrets in life. Sure, that’s a sound, overall strategy, but today is one of those days where, if you fail to do this, you could miss out, and forever after think, ‘if only’. Honoring what has meaning to you pays off in a number of ways, not least of which is a clear future path and improvements in health (this latter not to be sneezed at, since Jupiter quincunxes Hygeia, asking us to listen to the facts and adjust our health practices accordingly–and another reading of this aspect might suggest that interaction with the public requires adjustment, in order to safeguard health–so wear your mask). Do what’s important to you–you may get some guff from the social sphere along the way, but the reality is, they don’t get a say in what you should be devoted to, do they?

Don’t let someone else prompt a bad decision. ‘The Flirtation’ By Leo Gestel c1910 {{PD}}

The 31st is a Good Day To . . . realize that while relationships or issues around finances claim our conscious attention, what’s really going on is that everyone, especially those who hold at least some power over others, are ‘feeling’ around to see how much more power they can finagle, or they’re trying to figure out how to wiggle out from under someone else’s thumb, or relationships or money-needs are somehow pushing or prompting us to do what’s not very smart! Our folly may come in the form of peer pressure, but it’s rooted in not liking something about ourselves–otherwise we’d never go along with it. Here’s a virtual hug, now don’t let them get to you.

‘The Tow Path’ By William L. Lathrop {{PD}}

The 30th is a Good Day To . . . be very clear on what you care about, value, treasure, before you make changes, because alterations made now will most likely stick, and be difficult if not impossible to undo. We may exaggerate the importance of our own beliefs or duties, when seeing ourselves as part of the whole is much more beneficial (as well as more accurate). Action, though, comes naturally, in spite of the way what we choose to do may challenge our beliefs or our standing within the social order, so be extra-vigilant as to what you’re building for yourself and others within the Collective. Health improves or attending to it is done and so benefits the individual, OR we indulge, especially in those things we see as ‘treats’ (I’m talking dietary and behavioral indulgences), and suffer the consequences.

The 28th is a Good Day To . . . act on what you know to be wise, smart, and/ or practical. Putting skills into action is required, with their application adjusted according to what you care about, a ‘first do no harm’ position. Thoughts may literally manifest as things, today, quite directly, so be aware of intentions, as those are our building blocks of reality.

The 27th is a Good Day To . . . reconcile what we believe and are dedicated to with the facts and the actual (rather than the imagined) reality picture. It’s time to face what is, but only so that we know why we’re doing what we’re doing, and know where we stand. This is a vital, periodic re-assessment that should (but often doesn’t) exist as an ongoing process. We only benefit by knowing what’s going on, and we benefit the most when our beliefs and what we’re committed to apply realistically to the current scene and the current zeitgeist. Look to the future you want to create, as well as to the one that’s presented in the messages and information you receive, and adjust accordingly.

The 25th is a Good Day To . . . make commitments, vows, agreements, pacts, but only if your mind isn’t clouded by ambition or desire. Too, we are naturally attuned to our highest values and ideals, at this point, and so may assume the other party is interpreting things in a similar light–but it’s possible they’re not, and we’re reading too much that promises integrity into the situation. Avoiding missteps requires sticking to our standards while remaining clear-eyed about the motives and wants of others. Knowing we could succumb to sleight-of-hand may be enough to keep us awake and aware.

‘Fighting Forms’ By Franz Marc 1914 {{PD}}

The 24th is a Good Day To . . . remain aware of the dazzling and very sudden power moves we may both observe and actually encounter and so have to deal with directly. We’re primed to flex our own muscles, to make our own choices, to name our own fate, but there are a few things we’ll need to take into account in an atmosphere where everyone feels that way: 1) we’ll just naturally put all our personal authority behind having our way and expressing our Will, but we shouldn’t underestimate the potential impact of the accident, the unusual, or the serendipitous. 2) thinking itself runs along healthy lines, and that predisposes us to use good judgement. 3) we can gain if we can go with the flow, rather than being distracted by some very prominent attempts to convince us ‘it’ can’t be done, or that there aren’t any opportunities for us there. 4) flexibility in thought is a good thing, while pessimism, gullibility, and anger-as-fuel are not.

‘Twittering Birds’ By Paul Klee 1922 {{PD}}

The 23rd is a Good Day To . . . act with big gestures, with enormous confidence, making sweeping statements about who you are, but all aligned with the facts of the matter, and done with an eye to anticipating what you have that’s new to offer, and what might sneak up on you and throw a monkey wrench into the works. Co-ordination, especially among your thoughts, the philosophies and beliefs that are the underpinnings of your choices, and the actions you take, is what makes for success today. Don’t exaggerate your actual ‘muscle power’, what you can and can’t handle–overdoing will only undermine what you hope to achieve–and examine the sudden idea or spontaneous thought against what you know to be true–that’s the only way to know if it’s worth pursuing.
