The 21st is a Good Day To . . . see the benefits to be had from the wound, the missed opportunity, in things not going the way you thought they would. It’s a day of blessings disguised as recent denials or misses or hurts that, when you step back from them, will either currently or in the near future reveal how really rewarding it was that you didn’t get what you were after. Maybe hard to see (or believe) now, but it will become glaringly apparent very soon.

The 20th is a Good Day To . . . stick with what’s solid and real, no matter how you define it, because what’s truly beautiful is what’s real–and that tells you that anything frightening or ugly is actually an illusion. Knowing that may keep you from overreacting to the unpleasant, as its unreal nature is a tell that it’s someone’s effort to control you or channel your energy. There are only two factors that may help someone succeed in fooling you: one is if you provide unhealthy thoughts on which they can build, or if you reject your own uniqueness and originality; being ashamed of who you are opens the door for someone else to steal your energy, time, or talents. Otherwise, you have the chance to see Venus in some real-world form, delivered directly to your doorstep.

The 19th is a Good Day To . . . make things happen in the material realm. The only hitch is: base your choices on physical reality, not on your wishes, imagination, fantasies, or delusions (that last really hard, because, how do you know it’s a delusion, right?) Creative needs may leak out, especially in communications, but it’s in manipulating the material surroundings that we can control and excel. Rebellion when we try to go on instinct or auto-pilot is a distinct possibility, with the feeling a signal that we are in dangerous territory, in terms of effective decision-making.

The 18th is a Good Day To . . . excavate what’s really on our minds, delve into what we really care about, and to ‘shake the tree’ to make sure the roots are deep and securely grounded. Today our power and ability to affect our surroundings comes directly from having clear values, operating with Love, and communicating with Truth (the kind that just is, that carries no ill intent, not the kind that gets a wee burst of delight from shredding others!) Pure intentions, and acceptance of reality without a negative emotional judgment of it, will take us much farther than we think we can go.

The 17th is a Good Day To . . . ask ourselves why our instincts and intuitions seem to be so unreliable today? We’re sensing change, trying to parse it out through intuition and instinct, and yet the conscious messages we’re receiving tell us things are set in stone, going nowhere, and even that our values are flawed, and need modification–and that causes us to doubt our senses and our feelings, and makes it seem that we’re called to fight every issue that enrages us or that we’d hoped to ignore. Let’s just say these assessments are inaccurate. But there are two things we can count on: attention to relationships and financial realities will ground us, and that in reality, our thoughts/ communications can change worlds–just be aware of their power, and know that this shaping can’t be consciously driven; we’ll be lucky if we can dodge any unanticipated ill effects, while at the same time we have an equal chance of taking advantage of serendipitous ones.

The 16th is a Good Day To . . . know that our rewards, the treasures, the pay offs, and the Love are all to be found today by dealing unflinchingly with those matters we’ve previously ignored, denied, or that have enraged us. What we’ll discover is that many of the things we’ve been avoiding are specters, illusions, untruths, and the haunting embroideries spun by our own imaginations–and what a relief, then, to find that for the most part there’s nothing so bad to be dealt with, after all.

The 14th is a Good Day To . . . be aware of how subtle the influences are today. We have priorities causing friction with ambitions, the social order promoting what’s less-than-healthy or facts about the health that should be faced, relationships or spending from the past that comes home to roost (and that may be good or not-so), and our communications and the messages we receive about the future are somehow skewed–and all of this may permeate issues without being readily apparent. Accompanying all this is the ability within ourselves to see our own beauty, to see clearly our own worth, to be aware of our talents, and to be conscious of our assets and the Soul as ‘living Love’–and as long as we ‘know’ this, and are able to steep ourselves in the Truth of this–that sense of worth and confidence can guide us and inform everything we face.
