‘Spring in Holland’ Nils Kreuger 1889 {{PD}}

Continuing yesterday’s trend, we can hold our attention on ideals and dreams–and bring them to reality. Our empowerment comes in the form of recognizing what from the past has worth, what is useful now, which relationships and ambitions are worth pursuing–and if we think it through objectively, informed by higher understanding, we might, quite suddenly, get exactly what we want. Only a failure to see what from yesterday has worth and use today (and so should be treated with care), or a failure to perceive clearly where and what we are right now (in order to be able to navigate effectively from ‘A’ to ‘B’), will prevent the realization of a dream or ambition, or stop us taking a step vital to getting where, or being who, we really want to (Perfecting today: Juno parallel Zeus, Venus nov SN, Merc trine Zeus and sxt Uranus, Sun parallel Neptune)

Hmmm, wonder what the title refers to here. ‘The Choice’
Frances MacDonald McNair 1908 {{PD}}

The healing of relationships (or maybe financial situations) is possible through taking action today, or through choice. Is it as simple as deciding we want things to be healthy again? Yes, yes it is. Acceptance of the real-world as it is, as the place where (and the conditions under which) all things, including healing, must play out, is essential for success. Grounding choices that take the long-view on issues will bring the best results (Venus nov Chiron and parallel Mars, Mercury sxt Saturn)

Put my voice in your head (temporarily)! Read one of my books! Have a great Thursday, and for those who missed out on an eclipse report at only $20 (tailored specifically to its effects on your chart) watch here–I’m working so fast I may have room for one or two more. Will announce it on this blog if I do! Thank you, and a special thank you to my clients, readers, and contributors–without you, what would I do?

If we clear up the impediments to manifestation, then we’ll think it and it is–which means we’d better be careful what we put our attention on. Christen Dalsgaard 1868 {{PD}}

We think it and it happens–or at least, we do it–and yet the wisdom upon which our choices are based is both oddly anachronistic, even straight from the past, and disempowering, somehow. There are two things going on that are creating this discord out of what seemed an almost magical facility for translating thought to action: one is the way we are in rebellion against our own ambitions (and so taking a contrary approach, as if we’re being forced to want what we want!) and two, our attention really needs to be going toward matters we’ve been ignoring or denying, or that have filled us with rage–even though we keep thinking we don’t have to address them, just yet. The remedies? Be clear on the ways in which you are undermining, even rejecting, what you know you want; and deal with those matters that can no longer be ignored–the denied energies are permeating us and our intentions, without our awareness, and robbing us of this brief window where we can think it, and make it so (Pallas nov SN, Uranus opp Zeus, Merc parallel Mars and sq Juno, Sun sesq Black Moon Lilith)

Attempts to expand, or to learn (a new skill, ‘the facts’, the details, what else is ‘out there’) may occupy us today, but the larger question we need to answer first is, ‘Where do we hope to go?’ We may be so wrapped up in negating a wound, or proving our worth through exercise of talents, that we fail to consider whether what we’re doing really matters to us. Believe in something, so that hurt doesn’t drive you (Perfecting today: Jupiter opp Chiron)

See the Full Moon post here, and enjoy your Tuesday!

Cardinals in the anteroom of the Vatican–trying to listen in, of course. By Henri Adolphe Laissement 1895 {{PD}}

Today the seen and unseen worlds whisper to us–of Love, of treasure, of what’s lost, forgotten, or suppressed, through a lexicon of instincts and primordial knowing, of what could be, of what we imagine, of ideal futures and re-imagined pasts, beneath the words actually presented–and though these messages may be hard to grasp, we will see them delivered somehow through the material world, as well as the psychic one. Relationships can be tricky, best navigated on a combination of instinct and response to the real-world choices of the Other. In all situations, that means if we’re unsure of what we intuit, suspect, feel, or sense, we can parse the concrete situation for the same info, though it may be obscured by words or chatter or rote thought patterns, or our perception may be influenced by our disposition toward what’s delivering the message–we’d be wise to keep in mind McLuhan’s advice, that the medium is the message (Perfecting today: Venus trine Sedna and nov Saturn, Merc nov Neptune)
