Subtle changes in atmospheric energy connections...

Horoscopes...I have my opinions on these things too, they are subjective and becoming less valuable at times to me. I am becoming more objective and open to them not being truth...but they might still be true. What I do know is that they are a touchstone, if you need one, and that works...until you don't need it anymore. What I do know is that Astrology has helped in my healing from the past, and anything that was helpful to me was appreciated and acknowledged as good.

Here is something from todays horoscope, and I will comment after it has been potentially read by you.

The socially adept Libra Moon reminds us that our feelings are not separate from our relationships and that our inner world reflects outer experiences. Making decisions can be challenging now, for we are able to see multiple perspectives rather than one single point of view. We may become less expressive as Uranus the Awakener enters its retrograde phase today. We may still push outward, yet a new wave of self-containment sweeps through our awareness.

What this says to me is many-fold. Multi-faceted and helpful to followers of this Tao. It is not helpful to non-believers because they use spiritual armour to protect themselves from it. They have the right to do so and it is good. So it is, it is also the right of humankind, of man to arm oneself with the potential truths in this "potential" phenomenon.

We are in fact life's potential expressed as humans, as animals and plants, trees rocks grass, and winds. Are we not life's potential as persons, and we do so have a right to our truths and our own personal choices to move about to believe as we will and to decide for ourselves what we will admire ? About that which we will dispel and that we will call our very own truths? I think perhaps that we are. Even if we choose a lie as a truth. Or a truth as a lie, that is our own right to do, apparently, as men. So~ If astrology is a lie, it is a very incredible, astounding one that affects many lives.

That much we must admit to ourselves. It's a real doozy! It's a whopper! For thousands of years it has been put to great use, studied, and challenged man. It is no small lie, or no small truth, whichever it is. It is large...as large as the cosmos itself. Who know if it is true or not, but it works because we believe it works. Of this I am practically Sure. This is not something that I need question anymore.

Shall I pick it apart a little? Let's take the first sentence...The socially adept Libra Moon reminds us that our feelings are not separate from our relationships and that our inner world reflects outer experiences.

What this says is we are allowed to look at the Moon as a power source, and it may have a sentient life all it's own, and that sentient life may be telling us something, and it may be subtle, but it may be saying that today it is time, that the "Time has come" to touch our "feelings" and notice "feelings are not separate from our relationships" and that also maybe, it is true that "our inner world reflects our outer experience". Astrology allows humans to go within. It allows for us to take a break from the norm and get experiences of and from our inner workings. It really does not matter if it is about the moon or it isn't to me.

Moving on, next sentence...Making decisions can be challenging now, for we are able to see multiple perspectives rather than one single point of view. Wow...well what is wrong in that? I like it, personally, very much. I have always been a proponent of seeing things from lots of different potential perspectives. I am a person who embraces this whenever i can. Why be so caught up in selfish behavior that we can only see our own viewpoint at any given moment. What is hard is doing this multiple perspective thing when we are hurt or angry...still...a good idea! Permission to be open-minded, granted by your horoscope today.

Then...We may become less expressive as Uranus the Awakener enters it's retrograde phase today. The Awakener is slowed nearly to a stop. How can man use this idea in life today? What this means to anyone who studied more in depth astrology is that Uranus is going to appear to be going backwards when it has merely slowed to a near stop while other planets move at the usual pace...and that means we have permission to think on what that might mean. And we can search the books on Uranus retrograde, and use more quality information about life ideas.

The influence may actually happen or it may be a spiritual knowledge thing that we have metaphysically infused the planets with for our own good, or Lent to them over century's and ages because man needs touchstones to behavior. But we have this right to know things, about our core and our depths, so we need a reason to remember it, and astrology has Lent us a reason to remember to be connected to more than the mundane things in life. To be connected to relationships with our self and with others. Permission granted to be aware of relationships to the planets, to earth, it's places and peoples, it's symbols, totems and animalia, it's plants and energies. You are allowed to be connected. Amen!

Now, lastly, We may still push outward, yet a new wave of self-containment sweeps through our awareness. And what could be wrong with that? Can it be (a reality we let touch and) we let it affect us, or is this something we don't particularly need? Whichever, it really doesn't matter too, too much does it? That is if you have other ways, other paths, that lead you inward and ways that are equally challenging and beneficial for you.

Permission to notice and allow your self-containment...but push outward if you like! You are allowed if you want to push outward or be with yourself today. See...astrology is a useful tool. It gives us allowances that we mayn't get from our neighbor over the fencepost, or at the office, or even from our family at home. it allows us to be esoteric beings. It permits us a form of spirituality, and it need not be an actual energy emanation because it is all about you. You are the energy that is growing in space.

Astrology is permission and a touchstone to be who you are, it can appear to be limiting or it can appear to be an ultimate expansion into new worlds of understanding the ways life moves about you. I always say do your own chart and do more than the horoscope reading...they are very limited in scope. But they can be helpful as well. As I hope I have pointed to above.

Here is the rest of my horoscope for today:

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

You may have misjudged the size of a job. Maybe it seemed as if it was going to be more fun than it really is. Whatever the situation, you're not likely to get out of it, even if you feel like making the great escape. Resign yourself to doing what you said you would, even if it costs you a bit of sanity.
