‘The Elements’ J.E.H. MacDonald 1916 {{PD}}

17 May we get some clues as to what might be disjointed about our ambition picture and plan, and though the mentality perceives things in a light that respects our highest values we may still be too reactive to the primal wound to make truly objective choices. Relationships and/ or the financial situation will not be of help, and may actually distract us or put us on what we’ll later consider ‘the wrong track’. The answer may be to wait to make any significant choices; currently our fears or the influences of others or our ongoing situation are too strongly felt to be removed from any equation, and so may exert more pull on our decisions than we realize. Have the courage to say, “I don’t know”, “Not yet”, and “We’ll see”. (Perfecting today: Pallas semi-square Zeus, Venus opposed Vesta, Mercury trine Vesta and square Chiron)

18 May we may feel highly inventive and original in areas of Love, relationships, or in ways to earn, but we resist sharing our ideas, and with good reason: those in power are listening, ‘ears to ground’, as they say, looking for an opportunity outside the current structure. Though that may seem like it offers the perfect chance for mutual benefit, the thing you need to know about those in charge is that they’re not looking for collaborators. Nurture your uniqueness, your ideas, and your ability to innovate in private, with an agenda of considering how you might alter the existing structure in a way that conveys the power directly to you. (Perfecting today: Venus square Jupiter and parallel Uranus, Mercury trine Ceres and quincunx Saturn, the Sun quincunx the North Node)

‘Summertime’ Mary Cassatt 1894 {{PD}}

3 May Love or Money hurts us today, but only if we refuse to use our most sensitive skills to deal with issues; then we kind of deserve it, don’t we, if we’re wounded out of sheer unwillingness to go out of our way to make it work? The messages we receive are at odds with what authorities tell us, what Mom wants us to believe (that’s likely the internalized mother we all carry), or what we’ve observed ourselves in Nature, and this can make for uncertainty and, in those so inclined, a tendency not to trust the Self. The reality is that if we’re open to Truth, we can see it and deal with things as they are—always the best way to meet the world—and the bonus is that if we’re willing to embrace ‘being ourselves’, whatever that means to you, a particular power and personal heft that comes with authenticity is available, as well. (Venus parallel Chiron, Mercury quincunx Ceres, Sun trine Pluto)

‘The Three Races or Equality before the Law’ by Francisco Laso 1859 {{PD}}

26 April we look to the material world, to assets and talents and the sway money can exert on events, even as we are inspired by loftier things, ideals, dreams, and what we can imagine. This can be a set of aspects that allow excellent meshing of goals and aims with material needs and circumstances; we know what we need real-world to make our dreams happen. The one wild card is Nature (or for a few, authorities or even a maternal figure)—there are unanticipated costs and rewards available through the natural order or interaction with the natural world, and there’s no way to anticipate Nature’s role and its effects on our own efforts.

27 April It’s a great day to bring material dreams to reality, but only the ones involving hands-on or physically creative efforts—philosophical dreams or those based on intangibles will have to wait until thought processes are working on a clearer wavelength.

‘Girl Reading’ Georgios Jakobides c1882 {{PD}}

5 April everything may be surface-sunny but have a contrary undercurrent that could make even the slightest hiccup contentious. Things will be fine as long as most of us can walk around getting our way, without someone snatching the rose-colored glasses from the bridge of our held-in-the-air nose. Yes, it might be that bad—and yes, the contentiousness will be shown by both sides of that equation. Communication suffers as everyone listens with the idea that they are in charge, and that it’s within their power to call the shots and ‘yay or nay’ what someone else is saying, deciding, or even thinking. Desires take on a materialistic or sensual note, which we have a good chance of fulfilling if we don’t get co-opted by those who are looking for a sparring partner. Everyone who manages not to be mixed up in this mess may get swept up in the atmosphere of creativity and dreams—and can get really useful information on how to make money, show love, or carve a future using only the imagination.
