The 20th is a Good Day To . . . align our efforts with reality, and heal injuries to our sense of personal authority, via the dawning clarity offered as Mercury stations direct. We’ll see where we’ve been ‘off’, how we may have misjudged the facts or the social fabric, and we’ll see much more effective ways to express our creativity. It’s a load off the mind, today, that opens the way toward better understanding and a closer connection with the Truth of things.

Little known fact: Dragons are actually herbivores. Detail of a painting By Giovanni Battista Tiepolo c1768 {{PD}}

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.

By Antoine-Louis Barye c1863 {{PD}}

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 Loving Cup’ By Dante Gabriel Rossetti 1867 {{PD}}

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.

The 13th it’s a Good Day To . . . reach for your highest potential, a creative goal, a surprising opportunity, or for the change you’ve been longing for–all are not just possible, at least one of them is practically mandatory! Communication is both effective and realistic (a big surprise, considering the retro) and it’s easy to show restraint or to discipline or control ourselves. Optimism and imagination saturate the mind and look for ways to express–and our inclination is to give them disciplined and contained avenues that lead to tangible results. Today we also enjoy power, especially the power to create reform, in direct proportion to the sureness of our identity and our purpose. That is, if you know who you are in accurate and fairly objective terms, you can really make things happen–in that case, ‘the facts’ are definitely in your favor. One caveat: if you make agreements or sign contracts today, you may still suffer the traditional ‘retro regret’ once the period is over, as a sextile between Mercury and Saturn cements things firmly in place, and Merc’s trine to Neptune says we can be fooled, almost as easily as inspired–so tread (and sign) with care. Good luck, and have a wonderful day!

‘The Water Carrier’ By Francisco de Goya y Lucientes c1810 {{PD}}

For the 11th it’s a Good Day To . . . avoid those with a bad attitude. Yes, they’ll be everywhere, and it may seem as if the world is sorting itself out, with one group disgruntled and mired in the past, while the other is capable, clear-thinking, and in full-on Power-mode. It’s really just an effect of the Inferior Conjunction of retro Mercury and the Sun, marking an insemination point where what’s buried in the unconscious floats to the surface. This will launch us on a trajectory in either a positive direction or a negative one, depending on which of the two groups we gravitate toward.

Here’s the thing: if we are feeling bad, feeling that we have a lot to gripe about, and spend our day unfurling our list of Festivus grievances, we are likely to set in motion longer term (through to the Superior Conjunction of Mercury and the Sun when Merc is direct, 11 January 2020) a series of negative experiences and encounters that support our viewpoint of others and the world. But, if we are being as Self-responsible as we possibly can, not blaming others or circumstances but instead looking for ways we can make things better, then we will initiate an excellent payoff at the Superior Conjunction, one keyed to matters of either natal House where one or the other of the Conjunctions occur. Planning for something positive sounds like a lot more fun than complaining–but it’s your choice.
