Bertrand Russell stated: “The nice life is one impressed by love and guided by data.” Typically occasions the place we stray from that’s the level the place we’re distracted by a distinction in opinion, owing it to a distinction in values. The place we’re moved to behave, we ought to analyze additional. Consolation is commonly our meter, however ought to or not it’s? I don’t know, however we must always pause to consider it.
All weekend, Aries Venus trines Leo Mars, and the Venus-ruled Taurus Solar sextiles Pisces Saturn. After we zoom approach OUT, all is true with the world. The alternatives now we have eclipse all which have come earlier than, and we’re motivated and moved to raised ourselves. The Solar conjoins Uranus all weekend, precise Saturday evening; we’re on observe for future-oriented enhancements.
As well as, fairly than in distinction, Taurus Mercury squares Mars via the weekend, additionally precise Saturday evening. After we zoom IN, now we have a distinction in perspective, sensory enter, communications, and understanding. Self-directed motion is at odds with its personal course. On the very finish of the weekend, Sunday evening, the Aquarius Moon units this all off, sextiling Venus whereas forming a tense t-square with Mercury and Mars.
These days I’ve seen once I come into settlement with individuals who in any other case make me very indignant (as a consequence of their prior or ongoing actions or opinions). It’s straightforward to snort it off as an anomaly (“Even a stopped clock is true twice a day!”), however the alternative right here is to appreciate our shared values. THAT is the place we are able to join, to innovate, strengthen, and enhance all our futures. We will see this on the world stage, the nationwide stage, and in our day by day lives. One to all, and one to a different. Now we have extra in widespread, most of us, than now we have to separate us. Contemplate letting this weekend’s dissonance/settlement occasion soften our expertise of the divide.
It’s straightforward to see how that works in politics. Now take into account it really works the identical approach with our nearest and dearest. We might not even all remember when there are such divides rising and receding in our private lives. Consciousness might be jarring, and it ought to be jarring. In any other case we miss the chance to genuinely enhance {our relationships} AND ourselves.
Keep in it, even if you’re uncomfortable. Ask and reply questions, however pay attention and reply with love. It’s straightforward to gloss over tensions, nevertheless it’s solely in doing the onerous factor that rigidity turns to features. Turns into love. Be keen to threat discomfort to enhance, to revolutionize your expertise.
Friday evening, the Capricorn Moon quincunxes Mars after a day sq. to Venus and a trine to Mercury. The problems are raised below amusing and a smile, however the undercurrent is testy. There’s a little bit of inertia to beat; will you rise to the event? It’s value it.
Saturday evening, the Moon finally ends up in Capricorn, first with a trine to the Solar in precise conjunction with Uranus, then with a sextile to Saturn and a sextile to Aries Neptune (precise in a single day when the Moon hits Aquarius). The collective temper is sober(ish) however receptive; we discover power in our commonality, and we are able to leverage that togetherness to maneuver ahead with a imaginative and prescient. There’s an urge to present grace. That exhibits extra power than making individuals comfy with a view to get by with the established order. However right here’s what makes it even higher: On this occasion it’s pleasurable. Calm AND exhilarated, as a result of it IS the precise factor.
Sunday morning’s Aquarius Moon conjoins Pluto: Intense, however I believe that is additionally the great type of depth. Caring for ourselves first so we are able to so our half in working in and with the world simply is smart; however it might really feel revolutionary (and generally a bit disturbing).
As talked about earlier, the Moon spends the remainder of the day transferring into sextile with Venus, opposition to Mars, and sq. to Mercury. What is true about what you’re doing? The place are your values not matching up together with your expressions of your values? Give your self some prickly pushes over that, but additionally supply your self a fiery invitation IN. All of us belong.
How are you treating others; how are you being handled? Sit with these questions and solutions and the way they replicate your values. Heck, what we are saying about different individuals primarily harms or helps US, so what are we saying?
Do you will have any weekend plans?
Thinker Bertrand Russell in 1959:
“I ought to prefer to say two issues, one mental and one ethical. The mental factor I ought to need to say is that this: When you find yourself learning any matter, or contemplating any philosophy, ask your self solely what are the info and what’s the reality that the info bear out. By no means let your self be diverted both by what you want to consider, or by what you suppose would have beneficent social results if it had been believed. However look solely, and solely, at what are the info. That’s the mental factor that I ought to want to say.
“The ethical factor I ought to want to say… I ought to say love is smart, hatred is silly. On this world which is getting extra intently and intently interconnected, now we have to be taught to tolerate one another; now we have to be taught to place up with the truth that some individuals say issues that we don’t like. We will solely stay collectively in that approach; and if we’re to stay collectively and never die collectively, we should be taught a type of charity and a type of tolerance which is totally important to the continuation of human life on this planet.”
