astrology, Good Day To . . ., The Astro Essence

It almost looks like she’s holding a tablet! ‘Den syge pige’ By Michael Peter Ancher 1882 {{PD}}

The 19th Is A Good Day To . . . ask yourself what’s the worst choice you could make? The influences are such that we may be tempted to burn it all down to the ground, spurred by everything we wish wasn’t so, by every lie we’ve told ourselves, by every instinct we reject. We are quite clearly focused on meeting goals and fulfilling ambitions; it’s all the things we refuse to see, refuse to handle, that get in our way. We have an unhealthy passion to gaze into the abyss, and then we’re shocked when it gazes back! But there’s nothing in that dark space of the heart that we didn’t put there ourselves, and that should be reassuring: there is nothing that we’ve made, at least energetically, that can’t be unmade. Refuse to destroy, refuse to entertain that ‘worst choice’, and instead transform what’s before you–it’s not only the best thing to do, it’s the right and responsible thing to do.

A Good Day To . . . is based on the aspects perfecting on each day, Pacific time.

Good Day To . . . 17 August 2020 Absorb the Truth

astrology, Good Day To . . ., Superior Conjunction, The Astro Essence

‘Parti fra Vejle’ By Constantin Hansen 1853 {{PD}}

The 17th Is A Good Day To . . . accept change, accept expansion, accept the facts, accept the original thought, accept ‘the message’ at the center of everything. The ‘real deal’, a knowing about the Truth of things, is available to us today; receiving it only requires a mind quieted enough to lack resistance to reality–not necessarily easily done, but an admirable goal nonetheless. We may, courtesy of the Superior Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury and the Dark of the Moon, be able to simply absorb that Truth. Succeed at getting out of your own way, and you’ll have a better understanding of authority, power, and privilege, and a vision of how You, as a part of the Universe, fit in. Hints for success: don’t reject authority, power, the status quo, or current circumstances without having a clear and particularized vision of what can and should replace it–this is a warning that to be a rebel has two parts, getting rid of the old and creating anew–it can’t just be tearing down, which is the part most of us seize upon and never move past–and both creativity and deception lurk in the areas of ambition and desire fulfillment, and it’s important to sort the false from the true as we reach for our goals; otherwise we can be led seriously astray, and so lose today’s chance to accumulate a little mojo.

Good Day To . . . 16 August 2020 Stellar Results

astrology, Good Day To . . ., The Astro Essence, The Daily Word image

By Utagawa; Hiroshige (I) , Utagawa died 1858; Uoya Eikichi Hiroshige (I) – http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/collectie/RP-P-1956-754 (handle), Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=89018464

The 16th Is A Good Day To . . . do it! Today we get a massive green light for our actions; we have the clout, knowledge, personal authority, and receive the cooperation we need to get ‘it’ done. With the benefits to action obvious, and so much clarity of thought in place, what could possibly hold us back? Only one thing, ourselves, specifically if we choose to indulge in either behavior rooted in old wounds, or if we see it as the chance to deliver some (in our judgment) much-deserved wounding ourselves. If we’ve avoided acknowledging our anger, our rage, of late, or if we haven’t admitted that we, like everyone, carry destructive energies, these may well up and assert themselves through our choices and conduct–but otherwise, if we can avoid denying our feelings, we can go forward with rewarding, even stellar, results.

A Good Day To . . . is based on the aspects perfecting on each day, Pacific time.

Today’s Word Image is from a dream I had last night. As dreams often do, they present us with scenarios that seem perfectly logical while we’re in the dream, but that become odd and difficult to convey once we’re awake. In this case there was a new ‘invention’, a thing made of paper that was both a book and a car, but that didn’t actually go around like a car–it instead acted as a ‘place holder’ for a parking spot on a busy street–and it could fold into many shapes and be used as a carry-all–and this was aside from the way it held a story/ information that was chiefly meant to be read. This paper construction was something my younger sister (I don’t have one) and I were giving to our father (not my real-life father), and the whole thing was set in a place called Mission Bay.

Old timey ephemera aimed at the clog-seeker. {{PD}}

I know what this dream means for me, but what would it mean for you, if it were yours? What ephemeral (often applied to paper works seen as of temporary interest, from the Greek word ‘ephemeros’, meaning ‘lasting only a day’, or ‘short-lived’) but useful construct is both new and useful to/ gifted to the ‘responsible’ (Saturnian ‘father’ figure, or the Sun as the dynamic identity oriented toward Self-realization) part of yourself? What is your narrative around duty, work, obligation, Self-control, as it applies right now, however fleetingly, in the moment? What story are you telling yourself about achievement, about ‘getting there’? What do you see as your Fate? What do you need to tell yourself that makes a mental ‘space’ for when you need to propel yourself forward, and what ‘baggage’ have you stored in it (and that can include those stories you tell yourself about who you are and where you’re going)? Just some things to ponder. Have a wonderful Sunday!

Good Day To . . . 15 August 2020 A Disappointment

Let’s not be as dramatic as whoever named this place. Cape Disappointment, Photo By Adbar – Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=27188708

The 15th Is A Good Day To . . . to pause, because circumstances today may suggest a pull back from, disintegration of, or dismissal of some kind of understanding, such that we may not be able to press our case in its absence. This is definitely disappointing, and likely relates to matters of the House Uranus rules in your natal chart (subjects of the House holding Aquarius), the matters of the House it’s currently transiting, or a matter that we might classify as ‘purely Uranian’, such as our own or others’ Higher Mind perceptions and capacity for understanding, riots or other chaotic events, or an electrical storm, for example, prompted by Uranus turning retrograde. We see a chance for greater integration crumble or dissipate in some way, and we can’t help but feel let down. The key here, though, is to realize that the issue and/ or ours or others’ perceptions of it, need more time to ‘stew’. They’re not fully formed, not ready for manifestation in their most appropriate form–and we must be patient, knowing that the point for moving forward on this will arrive–it’s just not today, and probably not for awhile. Remind yourself that the Universe has your best interests at core, that timing is something it understands far better than we can–and so know that this disappointment is telling you that what you were anticipating isn’t meant for now, at least not as it would occur in the present.

Deep breath, and turn your attention to some sort of change you see needed right now–and then go to it.

Good Day To . . . 14 August 2020 In Your Eye

astrology, Finger of God, Good Day To . . ., The Astro Essence

By Serfeoesbueno – Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, Alan Saucedo Benitez https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=35990066

The 14th Is A Good Day To . . . look right into the abyss, and be ready to be poked in the eye by the powerful Finger of God with base of Jupiter-Neptune and apex of Mercury in Leo. This energy is going to feel personal, and the temptation may be to see yourself as the only one affected–that would be inaccurate. Big influences (Jupiter and Neptune) combine to deliver a message (Mercury) about each of us as individuals (Leo). In most cases, this is likely to read as opportunities within existing frameworks (Jupiter in Capricorn), when implemented with imagination, idealism, and/ or creative drive (Neptune in Pisces) will tell us something vital about who we are–and this is most likely something we’ve avoided knowing, with the Finger giving us a swift and slightly painful poke in the figurative eye–making us unable to ignore what’s being communicated (though acting on it is of course another matter).

What it all suggests about personal power and our own ability to act and choose may make us uncomfortable, but will undoubtedly hold wisdom and hint at both effective means of empowerment open to us, and point the way toward ambition and desire fulfillment. Is it a day to plunge forward, to roll the dice? Probably not, as the most important thing is to receive that message and then truly understand it–and that may not be easy as the conscious mind will surely fight this new, but potentially empowering, awareness.

Good Day To . . . 13 August 2020 Fire When Ready

astrology, Good Day To . . ., The Astro Essence

‘The Royal Yacht Squadron’s schooner Modwena dressed overall offshore’ By Antonio de Simonec1920 {{PD}}

The 13th Is A Good Day To . . . vow not to make yourself a target. The inclination may be to try and inflict your Will on those in power; you know you’re right, and they should acknowledge that and change–your idea or methodology is simply better! Unfortunately, they just won’t see it that way, and since they hold the power . . . you could end up wearing a big ol’ bullseye, soon to be fired upon.

You may also find that the power to ‘fire when ready’ is yours, most particularly if ‘the facts’ are on your side. In any event, opportunities to change the distribution of power in your sphere will exist–in which case the question becomes, how do you hit your target, without becoming one yourself?

The answer is, you might not be able to–and that needs to be okay, for now. To continue this tiresome symbolism, keep your powder dry and wait for opportunities–because those will come sooner than you anticipate, and you need to be ready.

‘Servant Returning from the Market (La Pourvoyeuse)’ By Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin 1738 {{PD}}

The 12th Is A Good Day To . . . listen for the delicious word, look for the uplifting relationship, open your arms to the Love offered. Being open to either a supportive social circle or ‘the facts’ will stave off any destructive or deleterious energies, while keeping a firm eye on reality (and a good grip on the creative urge), and welcoming the spontaneous and original will make for surprising outcomes where everybody is enriched. To close off to the positive will only leave room for the expansion of the negative–so do your part, and be loved.

Good Day To . . . 11 August 2020 The Worry Bridge

astrology, Good Day To . . ., The Astro Essence

‘Ilmbrücke in Weimar’ By Christian Rohlfs 1892 {{PD}}

The 11th Is A Good Day To . . . stay calm and think carefully; here’s why: there are a couple of influences with the potential to be exceptionally confusing as we try to navigate them. The gist of it is that the mind will be too strongly affected by events of the past to reason as effectively as we actually need it to, and perceptions are ‘assaulted’, in a way, so that we suffer contradictory reasoning that may leave us frazzled in trying to sort through it. The best thing I think I can do is elaborate on the pair of influences; awareness of their existence is probably the most important thing in gaining an accurate perspective.

One involves discord created by health matters that appear to conflict with our desires, ambitions, and wants. It seems either our health precludes pursuing what we’d like to, or the steps we must take to preserve health appear to create barriers to getting what we want. Here’s my take: you can’t get and enjoy what you’d like to, can’t achieve, if you’re dead. That should make it clear that protecting the health must be the priority.

The other influence brings delusions, illusions, fantasies, and nebulous, haunting fears to bear on the health picture; if we are frightened that we don’t have an accurate picture of what’s healthy, what’s right, it’s likely to preoccupy us, draining our energy from pursuit of goals and dumping it into a bottomless pit of anxiety. Look at it this way: we do our best to stay healthy, and we worry about illness only when we actually begin to experience it. There’s no sense in worrying about something that hasn’t happened and may never happen. Do your best to act in the best health interests of yourself and others, and cross the ‘worry bridge’ only if and when you come to it.

Good Day To . . . 10 August 2020 Concentrated Feeling

astrology, Good Day To . . ., Moon in Taurus, The Astro Essence

Scarlet skimmer at Keitakuen in Osaka, June, 2016.

The 10th Is A Good Day To . . . be ready for a shock, surprise, accident, revelation. Events turn on the unexpected, what the group wants may clash with our ideas of how it should be, and we may be shook up by our own erratic, original, or subversive thoughts. The mind is unreliable, perceptions are tricky, and the senses may pull the rug out from under us–and the worst part may be that, try as we might to discern the facts or apply our beliefs, we find only marginal success. How to handle this? We should do as we do when signifier of the mental processes and perceptions, Mercury, goes retrograde: we concentrate on the feeling nature, on funneling perceptions so that emotional reactions become our language. The Taurus Moon will help ground us through material input, emphasizing comfort and the language of sensation, taste, smell, appetite; 11 AM-7 PM PDT the Moon will be in the vicinity of Uranus, surprising us through our surroundings and sensory experience, highlighting the availability of information through the feelings and intuition.

astrology, Good Day To . . ., The Astro Essence

‘Girl Arranging Flowers’ By William McGregor Paxton 1921 {{PD}}

The 9th Is A Good Day To . . . not reject reality. Today our own actions and choices are likely to point out exactly how we may be disrespecting our own highest values, and how we may be pushed to act by those things we currently ignore or deny. We create a big mess if we refuse to see and deal with ‘what is’, but we can very successfully heal whatever we find if we 1) will take responsibility for those things that really are our responsibility (part of the reason we’ve repressed certain things is an unwillingness to admit what happens is up to us), and 2) cheerfully redistribute power. With that latter, you could do it begrudgingly, but that only perpetuates a sense that there’s not enough to go around; do it happily, and suddenly everyone’s ‘power basket’ is full.
