From June 24th to the 30th several tasks must be completed by the end of the month.
Keeping track of time, planning, and staying on schedule seems daunting. The abstract world of inner life can seem so much more inviting. So why do we have to pay attention to the pedestrian concerns of this life? No matter how basic, our actions matter, they create karma; and they wound or heal.
24th – Monday – A good thing at the wrong time is a bad thing.
What looks most pleasurable today is probably ungrounded, but still inviting. Smart people will get down to what has to be done. Okay, this may require planning and organization to even know what has to be done, how to accomplish it, and what is the meaningful timeline. But, we have to be in the garden and not spend the whole day in Home Depot evaluating rakes, hoes, and seeds.
25th – Tuesday – Venus Semi-square Uranus –
Confusion emerges between what we think we are feeling, and what is actually going on. Sentimental imagery climbs into our thoughts, and yet a revelation is forced upon everyone. It is possible to hide away and go unconscious, but civilization is taking a leap forward. Resistance comes via the negative emotions of hate, anger, and fear. Higher life is available to all; we just have to let go of the negativity.
26th – Wednesday – Mercury Trine Saturn –
To be emotionally attuned to our work promises to keep us on task until our efforts pay dividends. Discipline keeps us focused, but it’s the love for the craft that supplies the energy to move us forward. When the heart is warm, rain brings as much joy as sunshine. Imagining a better world brings it one step closer to actuality.
27th – Thursday – Mercury Parallel Venus –
The trick today is to grab a piece of our vision of life, something inspiring, and give it some tangible form. A small step may seem only vaguely symbolic, but who are we to limit the amount of goodness an act of kindness can do for someone else? We are here to love each other and to help carry each other’s burden. Salvation comes for all, or not at all.
28th – Friday – Mercury Semi-square Jupiter, Sun Semi-sextile Jupiter, Sun Parallel Mercury –
Luck is within reach- the price is right, it’s free. We can enjoy the sunlight, the trouble comes when we try to capture it, put it in a bottle, and sell it. We get it for free and we can share it in the same spirit. Thinking about self and life in a different way requires using a different mental tool. Instinct and intuition are both outside of the boundaries of intellect. All our conscious tools have significance and use.
29th – Saturday – Venus Sextile Mars, Mars Semi-square Neptune, Saturn turns Retrograde, Mercury Contra-parallel Pluto, Mercury Sextile Uranus –
You know you’re with the right lover when he washes you clean and lessens the burden of your faults and shortcomings of your personality. The inner prompting to please him leads to becoming a better person. This is how it is with God. It is time to do something real with our lives. Or, maybe just coasting, biding our time and waiting to share the love is enough.
30th – Sunday – One last push, then we can relax.
We have been running in small circles. Inspiration is there, but we need to keep plowing the field in front of us for a little while longer. Some people’s projects we have been working on will bear fruit right at the beginning of next week.
