Monday, February 04, 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
16 Aquarius: A BIG-BUSINESSMAN AT HIS DESK.
Making decisions and management. Being in charge and in control.
There is much to organise for a large business or group. Perhaps you are unable to get directly involved in the situation, bringing a sense of alienation, but have to stay behind and do the organisation.
If negative - taking advantage of being put in charge. Bossing others.

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
19 Scorpio: A PARROT LISTENING AND THEN TALKING, REPEATS A CONVERSATION HE HAS OVERHEARD.
Transmitting information or knowledge.
This infers some level of spiritual channelship - birds symbolise spiritual forces and this symbol indicates that the person who is receptive to thoughts and ideas can process information to the point where it becomes one's own. Perhaps there is a need to integrate it into your consciousness.
If negative - repeating without knowing the real meaning or purpose.

Moon 'in' Scorpio: Your feelings are very intense, never superficial. You tend to be either very angry or very sad or completely and totally happy. Your moods are deep, extreme and not always completely understood by yourself or by those with whom you have to deal. Emotionally, you tend to prefer to live at the cutting edge of life, pushing your reactions to the ultimate extremes, even if the results are dangerous or upsetting. You are easily jealous and very suspicious -- you require a great deal of emotional reassurance. A good detective, you are very curious about deep and mysterious things, especially human nature and motivations. Be careful not to be ruthless, tactless or too overly frank or you will meet with much resistance from others.

Rising Sign
21 Taurus: MOVING FINGER POINTS TO SIGNIFICANT PASSAGES IN A BOOK.
Looking for clues
Things are not going quite right at the moment, even though you feel that you know all about it - like you have read the book. There are, however, finer details that you have missed and you may need to look again. There is a clear indication of where to look from something outside of yourself. Be discriminating about what is really significant. Finding the essential details of a situation and disregarding the rest.
If negative - doing things because they need to be done and going by the rules of the book. Automated responses.

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
30 Capricorn: DIRECTORS OF A LARGE FIRM MEET IN SECRET CONFERENCE.
Masterly control.
There are decisions to be made and possibly plans to be laid out. You can't really make all these decisions on your own, you need help. Call on the relevant knowledgable friends or authorities, with them you'll be able to iron out the details of your situation.
If negative - excluding those who will be affected by decisions. Exploiting people or situations.

Mercury 'in' Capricorn: You are a careful thinker, very cautious and conservative. You are quite skillful at organizing, directing and planning activities. Practical and useful things interest you -- you are not attracted to abstract thoughts or ideas. With your tendency to be highly focused and very goal-oriented, you have a good head for business. But beware of a tendency to be narrow-minded and dogmatic. Your sense of humor tends toward being earthy and slapstick crude.

Venus
21 Aquarius: A WOMAN DISAPPOINTED AND DISILLUSIONED, COURAGEOUSLY FACING A SEEMINGLY EMPTY LIFE.
Breaking through illusions.
There can be feelings of wasting energy, creating only failure. But it is always important to look on disappointment as a teacher. Reconnect with what is available and possible in the situation. Although it requires courage to get back on the track, we always return with greater wisdom and understanding.
If negative - wallowing in failures.

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
13 Aries: A BOMB WHICH FAILED TO EXPLODE IS NOW SAFELY CONCEALED.
Tantrums and frustrations
Explosive elements will need discharging. Pressure cooker energy needs to be released, slowly. Luck has it that the situation hasn't got out of hand yet. Take the opportunity to defuse some of these elements. An explosion often damages more than is expected.
If negative - suppressing stress or illness that others may think inappropriate and thinking that your secret is safe. Repressing one's emotions. Undefined anger.

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
07 Cancer: TWO FAIRIES (NATURE SPIRITS) DANCING ON A MOONLIT NIGHT.
Usually unseen astral realms. Reconnecting with the feminine.
Your intuition and imagination can be heightened now, with a stronger sense of your emotional centre. Let go of the rational and enjoy the experience. Allow your creativity to flow without worrying about its usefulness.
If negative - losing one's self in emotional dreaming.

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
18 Sagittarius: TINY CHILDREN IN SUNBONNETS.
Protection or blinkering.
You may feel that you are being overprotected at the moment, but it is most likely for your own good. Don't be distracted by efforts being made on your behalf, sometimes we need to be shielded by others from harmful elements.
If negative - over-protection by institutionalized procedures that can lead to not being able to see the whole picture. Infantile behaviour.

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.
