Month: January 2014

Bigwigs are everywhere. It seems like everyone else is in charge.  It certainly takes the pressure off. You feel normal and are not defensive.  You are just cruising along and it feels nice not to worry.  You are not missing anything. You are just feeling relaxed and unencumbered. This bliss continues through most of the week.

Nature is taking its course.  It always does.  We have to learn to be in harmony with nature.  It makes life a lot easier.  Learning to be in harmony with nature begins with observation.  See how things work in the world at large.  Learn about structure and organization.

Don’t feel that you have lost control just because you are not struggling to stay in control. There should be many occasions for rest and enjoyment.  You don’t always have to be moving forward.  Sometimes you have to become fully aware of the moment. Be here now.

Time is the best storyteller of all.  We go through life just seeing snippets of a much bigger picture. Try to put your feet in the shoes of others.  Try to develop patience and understanding when you view others. Stay away from critical people who only find fault with others. We are not in a position to judge.

The Sun is entering the masculine, fixed, air sign of Aquarius.  It is ruled by Saturn and Uranus.  The combination gives way to a dual perspective of both facts and interferences.  Making predictions from astrological influences can be tricky.  It is usually done by synthesizing the planetary influences. Considerations may include the natal chart, the solar return, transits and primary directions, etc. Nevertheless, interferences are difficult to predict.  You may find that you have a promise with many indications or that you have many indications that yield no promise. When there are interferences, all bets are off. 

By understanding an individual’s psychology, it is possible to see their future.  Certain behaviors tend to create predictable ends. We as individuals are to some degree responsible for our destinies. Character is destiny. But there are many influences that dictate our future.  The more conscious we become, the better chance we have of using free will.  Not all is “free will.” We suffer from generations of genetics and psychologies that we must organize and integrate.

You may find that you have painted yourself into a tight corner.  This may be OK if you planned to give yourself no alternatives.  Sometimes it’s the only way to force self-compliance. Granted it is a back door approach but it does occasionally work.  Perhaps I am overthinking the situation which may ultimately become a circular type of logic.

Whatever the outcome, I’m sure either consciously or unconsciously it is what you are aiming for. The mind (ruled by Mercury) is very tricky.  Good business people have a powerful Mercury.  The purpose is to out maneuver your competitor.  Mercury is astute at the task.  Mercury moves into the sign of Aquarius where new found ingenuity is budding.

Wisdom (ruled by Jupiter) opposes intelligence (ruled by Mercury).  It takes experience to make the two work together.  It is an important task as life is short.  We get old too soon and smart too late. The key is to integrate time and space.  All problems can be solved in time and space.  Time (the fourth and tenth house) and space (the first and the seventh house) form the axis of astrology.

Keep moving and doing.

Our minds are often working overtime to create a sense of security.  We insulate ourselves in the hope of feeling that we are on the right track.  We avoid letting in any information that may indicate that something to the contrary is happening in our sphere. But sometimes, even with all the sealing up of the edges, things start to seep in.  This happens so that we may gain a broader and more balanced perspective.  It makes us feel uneasy.  We are always trying to reinforce our psychology.  We look for positive reinforcement.

Change is the only constant.  The more comfortable we feel with the concept, the happier we will feel.  The planet Saturn has to do with crystallization.  It is the need to control things and to maintain the status quo.  But Saturn is also known as the transcendental planet.  We pass through the material to the spiritual. Both are necessary.

The more we are able to achieve non-attachment, the more free we begin to feel.  We need things but they don’t have to consume our lives.  We become more confident when we achieve a balance between the material and the spiritual.  The extremes are the enemy.  Extremes can turn a decent person into an indecent one.

Carve out your niche but be open to incoming influences. Feel good about others and enjoy a sense of goodwill.
