astrology, Gemini/ Sagittarius, Good Day To . . ., The Astro Essence

By Joseph Farquharson {{PD}}

The 12th is a Good Day To . . . recognize that what we find rewarding may conflict with our ambitions and goals–and that there’s little we can do about that. We must choose: take the money and run, enjoy the indulgence, or eschew the satisfaction of feeding an appetite for the satisfaction of moving that much closer to our goals. Too, relationships may present demands that cause friction with our aims; again, it’s up to us to decide which part of the equation we’ll honor, which we’ll forgo–and it’s in doing so that, with careful observation, we’ll also learn a little something about our priorities. Note this may all be in preparation for what comes tomorrow: the need for serious elimination, costly if not done, a potential bounty awaiting if the right culling occurs.

The 13th offers a natural tendency toward optimism and possible good judgment that facilitates dream creation–but this is only a potential, easily ruined should we be in denial of our wounds. Lacking awareness of the way our hurts can exert an influence on our behavior and responses is what can trip us up today–otherwise, be creative, go for the dream. And, hint for today: we’ll be compelled to reach for goals–the key to making progress lies in something with roots in the past, rather than solely keeping eyes on the future. Bonus: if you have a natal placement at 15-17 Cancer, you have a Water Grand Trine activated by transiting Mars and Neptune. Channel the creativity directly through energies related to the contacted natal energy and those things/ Houses it rules. For the rest of us, starting roughly 5:30 PM PST/ 8:30 PM EST, there’s a temporary Water Grand Trine in effect with the transiting Moon in Cancer filling it in. Watch for creative or delusional action or choices made, propelled by feelings, emotional sensitivities, and strong emotion-based intuitions, ending roughly 8 PM Pacific/ 11 PM Eastern.

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

A little on the Gemini/ Sagittarius axis across which the recent Full Moon falls: We might see this as a see-saw with thinking on one end and knowing on the other. Both signs relate by sharing: the Gemini Air relates by networking and exchanging news (factual or not), while Sagittarius Fire relates by reaching out, with the information flow going out (teaching) or coming in (learning), with the material based on either fact or belief (and sometimes both). With Gemini the exchange is more likely to be among equals; with Sagittarius the info flow is from an authority or more learned or informed individual to one less so. These may be fine distinctions or glaring, depending on the circumstance, but subtle differences should be kept in mind when judging any zodiacal axis. When we look closely, we might find to our surprise that the fulcrum where any opposing set of energies meet points to more commonalities than differences, in spite of the signs being in different elements.

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

‘Jewels’ By Thomas Edwin Mostyn {{PD}}

Aside from the Full Moon event this evening Pacific time, the 11th is a Good Day To . . . solidify gains, make Love a fixture of the reality picture, bring values into material manifestation–but don’t go too far. The danger is that we clamp down, trying to shape and handle Venusian energy, and inadvertently slow or cut off the flow, or delay the payoff. Even when Venus comes in a tangible form, a handful of jewels or cash, say, the energy itself remains nebulous; when everyone wants something you can almost feel the way it’s being pulled in many directions, a reflection of Venus’ own desire nature. We want what we want, and today’s energy may bring that thing into being, or stop it’s potential delivery–it’s all in how we handle it.

Communications are surprising, shocking, or in some way unusual, and we may need to change our thinking based on what we learn–and again, the possibilities of what we’re conceptualizing may take solid form. We say it, and there it is–so proceed with care.

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

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

‘And the Prayer of Faith Shall Save the Sick’ By John Frederick Lewis 1872 {{PD}}

The 10th is a Good Day To . . . count our defensive wounds, as we feel our sense of effective empowerment in the situation before us called into question by our own instincts! Self-doubt may come out of nowhere, based in our response to the unexpected or to the nature of our quirkier tastes and inclinations, or may come as a sense that we are hopelessly out-of-date. Or ‘the group’ may overwhelm us or our feeling may be that we aren’t able to access what we know–it hides just below the surface of conscious thought, making its presence felt yet still ungraspable. We’re just not sure who we are in the moment–and that distrust of ourselves holds the potential for us to ruminate far too much on what we think may be ‘wrong’ with us. Write this down: There is nothing wrong with you. Also: concentrate on mending tattered feelings (your own and those of others), and know that with healing wounds you’ll gain a clarity of perception that will banish any undue Self-criticism or Self-questioning.

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

By Jules Larcher 1889 {{PD}}

The 9th is a Good Day To . . . be willing to modify standards to take advantage of what’s smart or practical, and then be willing to act in accord with this–and contrarily speaking, we must also be willing to modify our standards when we find that for one reason or another they aren’t as wise as we believed–and in any case, we need to be willing to show that we will do what it takes to support the standards we hold, or to achieve in line with the principles we honor.

Too, we may be tempted by something that’s decidedly unhealthy for us, and we’d be smart to avoid indulging for now. What we can pursue, though, is fulfillment of our ambitions. Today the mind sparks on some inventive, original, even genius ways of getting where we want to go, and we’d be smart to put our energy toward goal attainment or desire realization, right now.

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

‘Wing of a Roller’ By Albrecht Dürer 1512 {{PD}}

The 8th is a Good Day To . . . be as conscious as possible of how the past is affecting our sense of our own authority, as well as making us question what territory we can consider ours, and what belongs to others. We’re highly aware of our wounds, and it seems the social order (or perhaps that impersonal entity, ‘the facts’) is out to injure us even more–but that would be making everything much too personal (even though our experiences are of course highly personal, our place in the Universe and its workings is personal only from our point of view–so that seeing what happens to us as a direct rebuke or judgment makes us, incorrectly, place ourselves at the center of the Universe, when we’re really just the center of our personal, known world–but I digress). In short, try to take things impersonally, giving yourself some mental and emotional distance from events; if you do, you’ll be able to see precisely what the possibilities are, and will be able to pinpoint what dreams are best pursued, what fantasies best abandoned, and what mental stance is both rewarding (literally or figuratively) and healthy, offering significant potential for healing, especially within relationships.

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

‘Bulls Fighting’ By George Stubbs 1786 {{PD}}

The 7th is a Good Day To . . . be aware that the mind and the instincts, that latter of which we might define as the ability to know even if we don’t know, will be directly at odds today. Mercury in Scorpio will oppose Sedna in Taurus; it may be a battle between the Truth we accept with our mind and what we feel in the environment. Know that the mental reality is really based on the emotions (Scorpio is a Water sign), and that the instincts are picking up information that threatens the current thinking–hence the battle. Do your best to give yourself a little distance, so that you might get an impersonal glimpse of what’s before you. It might help, too, to tune in to the symbolisms that physically surround you; there’s a message there, maybe many, and though you could find yourself arguing that the information is invalid, that you already know the Truth of things, that passion is definitely defensive–and that means it all warrants a second look, a re-consideration, a dispassionate examination.

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

‘Il Bosco Sacro (The Sacred Grove)’ By Arnold Böcklin {{PD}}

The 6th is a Good Day To . . . stick to your highest values, fulfill commitments, and actively honor all that you care about–it will pay off, sometimes significantly. It may look as if those values and sacred areas somehow need adjustment, but that’s an optical illusion–they are excellent just the way they are–and connected to this, it may seem like your ability to affect circumstances is curtailed–but again, it’s a trick of the mind, rather than an accurate perception, and you should instead turn your attention toward honoring values–that’s where spending your energy will really matter.

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

By Pierre Bonnard 1918 {{PD}}

The 5th is a Good Day To . . . wonder just how what was wise or practical yesterday has somehow changed today. Really, it’s not that what’s smart has altered, it’s that we are working out the kinks in our instincts and in those things we ‘know but don’t know’, especially in terms of Love, relationships, or money, and with more information what looks like a wise approach or a smart thing to do changes. Choose based on what you know today, not what you knew yesterday.

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

‘A Roman Lady (Portrait of Anna Risi)’ By Frederic Leighton 1859 {{PD}}

The 4th is a Good Day To . . . be aware that what’s smart doesn’t empower us–and power is what we want and need, in one form or another. Our way toward a solution is to think about/ face what we’d normally ignore or deny, or deal directly with what enrages us. It’s in taking on the unpleasant face-to-face that we ‘fix’ what’s preventing us from moving forward, that quite suddenly makes what’s smart practical, once again. The solution to the power dilemma is that simple, and that hard.

astrology, Good Day To . . ., The Astro Essence, Venus in Capricorn

‘Athenais’ By John William Godward 1908 {{PD}}

The 3rd is a Good Day To . . .  express your sexy, gorgeous, loving Self, going after what you crave, looking to get your reward–don’t worry, Venus is in Capricorn, bringing a good dose of restraint to all that desire fulfillment and sensual enjoyment–you’ll have too much good taste to overdo. It may present in yourself and others as frivolous pleasure seeking, but in reality there’s a serious, buttoned-down core that’s looking to build or achieve something solid and even lasting. Too, if part of what you desire is change, you can figure out some genius ways to make it happen–just look at what forms of power your attention is drawn to–those hold hints as to what you can co-opt and make work for you. Anything dark gets a light shone on it, so be prepared.
