Wednesday, January 30, 2002 - No Simpler than this' Daily Symbols Archive - A page of canned astrology about my santa-rosa day.

...

The calm before the dawn. The silence inherent when making a connection with nature in cold, barren times.

Things are in a dormant stage. There is no point trying to force growth. It is not possible now. Also, energy is being used to reinforce the roots, ready for the coming growth.

If negative - denying the natural flow of the season, trying to rush things.

N. Node 'in' Gemini: You will consciously seek out many different contacts with others throughout your life. Many of these will be of very short duration, not necessarily because you're fickle, but just because you always seem to be more excited by the prospect of meeting someone new rather than prolonging your present relationships. At any rate, you will learn something new from almost everyone you come across -- intellectual stimulation is what you crave from others. You will be well known to neighbors and relatives, partly due to your curiosity about what they're doing -- you delight in keeping up-to-date about the latest news (and gossip).

Sun
11 Aquarius: DURING A SILENT HOUR, A MAN RECEIVES A NEW INSPIRATION WHICH MAY CHANGE HIS LIFE.
Welling creative power. Inspiration = breathing in the spirit.
You may find that despite racking your brains there has been no rational guidance. You need to slow down and open up to the message of your inner inspiration. The rational mind can be so noisy and interfere with the flow of the intuition. Quieten your thoughts and let your wisdom flow.
If negative - exclusion of others. Obsession with one's self or objectives.

Sun 'in' Aquarius: You get bored with the status quo and are generally open to new things and ideas. An individualist and a free spirit, your friends are quite important to you as long as they do not try to tie you down by making too many emotional demands on you. Your thoughts are offbeat and you're a bit eccentric, but not always very changeable. As a matter of fact, you can be quite stubborn at times. Very fair-minded when dealing with large groups or broad issues, you are not always emotionally sensitive to the needs of individuals. Extremely objective, with good powers of observation, you would be qualified to study technical and complicated subjects, like science, computers or maybe even astrology.

Moon
07 Virgo: A HAREM.
Rising above jealousy, arrogance and passion. Waiting to be bestowed with the gift of being `chosen'.
There may be a feeling of being dominated, but being part of a group where you must compete for whatever small benefits may be available. There is a need to use your charm and appealing aspects of your nature to succeed.
If negative - believing in the right to dominate those in less powerful social circumstances OR not giving oneself a sense of importance in the situation.

Moon 'in' Virgo: You tend to be serious-minded but cheerful for the most part. You need tasks that engage both your mind and your hands. A careful worker, you enjoy making things. You are neat and orderly, and are very concerned with good health habits. Fastidious to the extreme, you cannot tolerate messes and will immediately clean them up. Reserved, shy, and very self-critical, you tend to be very hard on yourself. You usually will go out of your way to be helpful and useful to others. Practical, reliable, efficient and conservative, at times you are a bit of a prude. You are known to lead a simple, uncomplicated, frugal, methodical and unemotional lifestyle. You are devoted and caring to those you love.

Rising Sign
14 Taurus: ON THE BEACH, CHILDREN PLAY WHILE SHELLFISH GROPE AT THE EDGE OF THE WATER.
Being self-sufficient and looking after one's own affairs. A realizing of a sense of at-one-ment with all forms of life. Peaceful co-existence amongst beings on different levels of evolution. Live and let live attitude.
You may find your approach to something that has been troubling you emerging from a very basic perspective and developing, through stages, to an understandable conclusion. Allow your base instincts to begin the process.
If negative - meddling in people's lives.

Rising Sign 'in' Taurus: Calm and deliberate, you hate to move quickly or act hastily. Very practical, every effort must count or you can't be bothered. Patient, persistent and steady, but very stubborn -- you can't be pushed or pressured into anything. You seem outwardly self-assured because you tend to repress your inner tension and turmoil. You exude an earthy warmth, friendliness and charm. You demand comfortable surroundings and appreciate the good life. Be careful of a tendency to be overly self-indulgent. At times, you are lazy and difficult to motivate. Overcoming inertia is a problem for you and, because you are not by nature a self-starter, it is often necessary for you to receive stimuli from others in order to get moving.

Mercury
04 Aquarius: A HINDU HEALER.
Divine healing potency.
You may not be having success with solving problems logically and rationally at the moment. The message is to look to the spiritual centre for healing solutions. This requires focus and practice and determination. Using the traditional spiritual methods of healing or needing them offered to you.
If negative - false claims of powers. Charlatan.

Mercury 'in' Aquarius: You tend to be very opinionated -- you have strongly felt notions about things and are quite vocal about expressing and defending them. Yet you are also an original thinker -- you enjoy shocking others with your offbeat, original thoughts. You appreciate and need mental and intellectual stimulation. Your judgment is usually fair and impartial -- you can be a good critic because you can remain objective and unemotional about most things.

Venus
15 Aquarius: TWO LOVEBIRDS SITTING ON A FENCE AND SINGING HAPPILY.
Faith in love or waiting for signs to commit. Friendship and companionship.
There may be a feeling of contentment and pleasure, but this is based on taking a non-committed position. To go one way or the other invites risks of separation, but conviction eventually needs to be either chosen or rejected.
If negative - failing to commit.

Venus 'in' Aquarius: You are a friendly and outgoing individual, but close relationships are difficult for you to maintain due to your fear that they will cause you to lose your freedom. You attract friends and associates who are exciting, different and sometimes a bit odd. You are popular with others and enjoy working within a group toward group goals.

Mars
09 Aries: A CRYSTAL GAZER.
Looking ahead to see the signs. Flashes of inspiration.
The whole picture is there in front of you, but you need to interpret its meaning. With a little concentrated effort, you will be able to see things very clearly. There is the ability to observe things that others may miss.Try really tuning in and looking within for answers. Creative, inner visualization. Aura readings.
If negative - being confused by the literal meaning instead of understanding the symbolic message. Always looking this way and that, but not at the center, for the answers. Getting lost in the big picture.

Mars 'in' Aries: You are very independent and self-assertive, and you have lots of physical energy. You are not satisfied unless you can be the first to do something. As such, you are more comfortable in leadership positions than you are as an underling. When you are challenged by anyone for anything, you delight in the competitive process and will fight long and hard for your beliefs. You are bold and courageous and often act without thinking. At times, in your zeal to get ahead, you are tactless and offensive -- learn that cooperation with others can often bring you nearer to your goals quicker because of the support you will get.

Jupiter
08 Cancer: A GROUP RABBITS DRESSED IN CLOTHES AND ON PARADE.
Emulation of higher forms.
Someone may be trying to be more than they really are. It's difficult to disguise the attempt, but the effort of trying to advance one's self may be appreciated and rewarded with their abilities taking a leap ahead of normal development. Projecting into the future a higher sense of being. Forward thinking into a more intelligent, successful, higher form of life.
If negative - pretending to be what one is not. Sublimating one's instinctual (or animal) needs to maintain a dignified, straight front to the world.

Jupiter 'in' Cancer: You must be emotionally secure in order to grow and develop. You are happiest when your family and community support and nourish you and boost your morale. Whether your childhood experiences of love and emotional dependability were positive or negative will set the tone for your emotional growth and stability as an adult. When you feel at ease with yourself, you are able to offer assistance to those who need a helping hand.

Saturn
09 Gemini: A QUIVER FILLED WITH ARROWS.
Make a strategy and then hit the target. Getting to the point.
You need to arm yourself before hunting for what you want. There is no need to rush forward and hope for the best, this will only leave you feeling inadequate when you do find something. Compose yourself for a moment and realise that you have the ammunition and the sure marksmanship.
If negative - going into battle unprepared. Overconfidence in a mission.

Saturn 'in' Gemini: You are such a clear thinker and speaker, with a logical orderly mind, that you are repulsed by abstract, intangible or unorganized thoughts or ideas. But you tend to get uptight about speaking in public because you are afraid to be wrong. Remember that the best way to learn is by making mistakes. Also, you will be so carefully prepared that you probably will not make many mistakes anyway. To be interesting to you, ideas have to be practical and useful.

Uranus
25 Aquarius: A BUTTERFLY WITH THE RIGHT WING MORE PERFECTLY FORMED.
Rising above life's distortions.
You may find that you are applying your rational logical mind out of balance to your intuition and creative wisdom. It is often harder to understand your intuitive messages, but reliance on logic can limit your possibilities. Can be physical handicaps which may prevent one from truly doing what one wants, or mutations on the spiritual level.
If negative - an imbalance of functions.

Uranus 'in' Aquarius: You, and most of your peer group as well, are reformers at heart. You want to make positive changes that will benefit society as a whole. You are willing to devote your time and energy to see that they come about, especially if the proper group support and combined purpose of will can be found. Be careful that your devotion to group goals does not produce too much friction or neglect in your own interpersonal one-on-one relationships.

Neptune
09 Aquarius: A FLAG IS SEEN TURNING INTO AN EAGLE.
Turning away from having to prove oneself, rising above the commonplace, ascension. Rebirth.
This is the movement of an external representation of the situation to the deeper levels of its energetic spirit. You may find that you are no longer just projecting an image, but true power.
If negative - forcefully displaying private ideals.

Neptune 'in' Aquarius: You, and your entire generation, will idealize and even venerate the ability to remain detached as well as the ability to objectively analyze any given situation. There will be a concerted effort on your part to cure the ills of society as a whole. But be very careful to continue to maintain and protect the rights of individuals in the midst of these potentially far-reaching changes.

Pluto
17 Sagittarius: AN EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE.
Perform any deeds with reverence.
This is a time of spiritual rebirth where you can rise above the failings of the past into a new beginning. Coming out of doubt and despair. There's unwavering faith in communal spiritual values.
If negative - obsession with the ceremony rather than the purpose or ideal.

Pluto 'in' Sagittarius: For your entire generation, society's cherished beliefs and totems will be radically changed. Many traditional concepts will be totally altered, if not completely destroyed. The rights of individuals to pursue their own course in life will be reasserted.
