The 16th Is A Good Day To . . . appreciate the things in life you’ve mastered, conquered, or that you are skilled in. Practicing what you’re competent at brings reward of Love or Money or maybe just the appreciation of yourself as a unique and gifted individual. This is an intimate, Self-reflective energy that we’ll feel keenly today; the other is large, public, and will either cause us to modify our relationship to the social sphere, or cause the social sphere to re-evaluate who we are. The better we genuinely know ourselves, the better our day will go.

The 14th Is A Good Day To . . . listen to your hunches, as they’re ‘smart’ and informed in a way we just can’t access through the mind right now. The problem is our thoughts won’t allow a decent examination of the darkness, and that’s where all the juice, and a lot of the Truth, lies at present, hence the need to favor instincts and intuition over the mental processes. Too, material reality may mislead us about a health matter; issues are not what they seem. Make no firm conclusions about the state of your health at this time.

The 13th Is A Good Day To . . . act on creativity, but concurrently refuse to act out of hurt. Mars meets Neptune, bringing creative energies to a peak, infusing our choices with inspiration, and helping us take action on ideals. Keeping motivations pure (that is, not having ulterior motives, an ‘I’ll show them’ attitude, or doing something out of guilt) makes for a tremendous result, manifesting some of the best of what we carry inside. A few of us may attract temperamental others who, dare I say, are probably jealous? Don’t let that potential deter you. Get it out there, so we can all see and enjoy!

The 12th Is A Good Day To . . . translate your personal power and authority into real-world change, creations, or actions that make an impact. You won’t get rewarded for it, in the usual sense of the word, but instead may find things land with a thud and are accompanied by crickets–but that’s not only okay, it’s the way it’s meant to be–otherwise we’d pause and give too much attention to what will become, with future developments, a vital building block to a new world view we’re in the process of creating. What happens springs from the way our minds are meshed with our highest values and priorities–so we need to accept that no accolades today doesn’t negate the worth of what we’ve done; we just have to let the future prove how really right it truly is.

The 11th Is A Good Day To . . . go after what we want, but with these factors in mind: efforts must be tailored to the actual results we want–one of the least effective things occurs when we think an action should build toward what we want (or possibly we’re pretending it does), but may in fact not really be a step forward. Sorting wasted energies from ones that count is useful today; take care not to wound others or yourself–it’s far too easy to think we’re being loving when we’re anything but (particularly offering ‘constructive criticism’ or unsolicited opinion); the awareness, mind, and attention are all aligned, and so today can be deployed very effectively in support of our Soul’s intents, so take advantage of this; and finally, today we may have creative and inspired ideas but not be able to see how to implement them–give them time to mellow, knowing that not being able to embody or enact them right away is only a blessing.

The 10th Is A Good Day To . . . remain aware we are so focused on our goals today, so filled with ambition and desire, so trying to make progress happen, that we may inadvertently harm or even destroy relationships and/ or sources of support, assets, and income. Love is purged, somehow, but it’s up to us whether that means we purify our intent toward others, or unwisely take an axe to what means the most to us (or to what or whom cares the most about us). If we are careful, we can pursue aims and further ambitions to a startling degree–just make sure you don’t behave in such a way that there is an ‘aftermath’ to clean up.

Stay calm–but maybe not this relaxed. By Hanna Frosterus-Segerstråle – Dukaatti – Suomen Taideyhdistys 1846–2006, p. 92. WSOY 2006 {{PD}} https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=65031287

The 9th Is A Good Day To . . . stay calm as a great many things may take us by surprise or offer inventive or innovative alternatives to our planned course–but don’t look for Love or Money in the usual places–you’ll need to see the brilliance in the unexpected, the sudden, in the entirely new. Our minds are on moving forward, but the reality is we’re not being too smart about it! We’re too distracted by the way things aren’t paying off or panning out the way we’d hoped–and that’s the key, that we’d persuaded ourselves certain matters were sure things when they were anything but. A reality check, plus some spontaneous and unusual opportunities–that’s not so bad, is it?

‘The Gauja Valley’ By Jūlijs Feders 1891 {{PD}}

Each day the difficult terrain shifts, making it hard to pinpoint and thoroughly deal with what we uncover. On the 6th we hit the trifecta, with the reality picture and its hard-and-fast rules (including the physical laws of the world, and the planted-in-place status quo), the egos and assertive energies of ourselves and others, and the sturdiness and actual applicability of our faith, all tested by current events. Remember, we’ve just come out of a Lunar eclipse, and we’ve entered that energy valley between eclipse events that can put both real-world events and consciousness into a holding pattern. In an odd way it blurs our ‘vision’ and makes us unsure of what we have before us. Keeping that in mind, along with the fact that we don’t have to respond to what we perceive around us, will make the going a lot smoother. You should also be aware that much of what seems a disaster, a roadblock, or an emergency will not stay that way–meaning you can let most of it go, and in a short while it won’t be an issue.

The 7th sees our relationships, as well as our relationship to and within the social order, grab our focus and present us with what seems unsolvable. Too, rewards aren’t what we expected them to be, or we find it tough going wringing the positive out of circumstances. Hints for handling: look for the wisdom within relationships–that is, look for what’s healthy, positive, and eternal in any interaction–that can guide responses; think in terms of ‘rightful territory’ and apply both mind power and efforts to being as effective as possible; and keep highest values in mind, eschewing the expedient or convenient, for best results.

By the 8th the issue may center in the conflict between Love and Power, especially as it manifests in our closer relationships. Here the trick is to find a balance that allows equal measures of Love and Power for each participant. It’ll be helpful to keep in mind that, 1) we aren’t the sole arbiters of what this particular balance should be–there’s at least one other party, who must be allowed an equal voice, and 2) that matters of health may be exerting a larger impact on interactions than we may realize, so cut others, and yourself, some slack, especially honoring feelings and the need for ‘space’.
