What does it mean to be charitable?

Wars and weather make a prime example of our very basic need to be helpful. From Latin caritat meaning dear or caring. Old Irish carae, meaning friend. Acts of kindness are always in our minds.

The ironic may find that only the unattributed donations are truly genuine. The very nature of life requires the belief that the law of karma exists. Does not the word sound caring? To carry some of the pain for another is honorable.

The psychic pain is more elusive, but never less than the physical.

​Finding security is so elusive. It is always an internal exploration. See the circle of endings and beginnings as a buddy. Your best friend is wisdom or knowledge. Enjoy it. The facts may vary but the feelings are real. It’s possible a journey to the sea is worthwhile. Don’t be too quick to judge yourself.

​I love all my things. The memories and super-talented folks I’ve known blend a plethora of life experiences. The fashion today is to value experiences over objects. The thrill of skydiving for the first time must be exhilarating.

A good friend told me “my meditation is going to the mall”. Any time you can focus and allow the lethargy to lessen its stranglehold is preparing one for insight.

​You represent balance, harmony and beauty. Your sign starts with the concept of these things. The idea of beginnings is enhanced by the forceful, mildly disruptive, and eclectic. Not everyone can create diplomacy. Reenforce your delicate way of communicating. AI is only distressing when we assume we won’t understand.

Growing up, the adage “What’s the difference between work and play?” Was a huge conundrum or Zen Koan.

Labor Day was started in the late 1800’s to commemorate the workers of the Industrial Revolution.

Earlier the Romans celebrated the idea May 1, Maia, the goddess of fire and fertility. The connection is not always clear.

As the other meaning of labor is childbirth, there is a sense of relativity.

The rule to not wear white after the summer, implies that we must welcome the darkness.

How to think about work? To do something productive and helpful. To get paid relates to Venus and self-worth. The focus and concentration to create is the underlying motivation we seek.

​Your ruler is emphasizing the details you are so good at. Mid-month it becomes about surrounding yourself in beauty and diplomacy. Introspection is not always a four-letter word. A natural loner, see others as the sustenance you need. Group activities may present themselves, what you receive will be worth it.

​We are celebrating the holiday of Lammas. It is a perspective on the creativity of fire.

As the earth gets ready to harvest, she acknowledges the death that comes from fire. Out of this comes the transformation of rebirth. The sign of Leo is ruled by the mighty Sun. The attributes are connected to childlike wonderment, taking chances, and taking a peek at our egos that may need recalibrating.

Heat seems to be the prevalent word. Life needs heat, but too much is suffocating, literally. Is breathing more labored right now? The air feels stagnant but then rain comes to give respite. 

Like most experiences in the human journey, we seem to have endless dualities. Up and down, good and bad, life and death. Perhaps our job is to be at one or at peace with trying to accommodate the polarities.

​Are you a risk taker? The warm and wonderful energy you project may occasionally inspire taking a chance. The money you need is coming from a place of love and charitable support. Look to foreign countries and opportunities. Know that learning is the most valuable part of the mundane day to day. Make it theatrical.

​Absurdity is a paradox. Logic is presumptuous.

With Uranus going into Gemini, we will all be experiencing the theme in very rapid motion. The airways are expanding into the atmosphere and circling back to push us into space. Speed has always been an addictive action. Sitting still is also a difficult distraction.

Take the right amount of a habit, let it settle and it will mutate on its own...

The unconscious is getting a huge boost for the next year. We may even learn telepathy. Your career may be center stage. Building a new foundation with transparent pillows. You do well in anything liquid. Water, oil, and blood coexist, they bring the intangible to life. Seek neighbors, siblings to provide diversion.

​What makes for fun and understanding? The duality of the moment enhances mischief and merriment. Love provides space to enjoy the irrational emotional behavior of our senses.

It is often said, let the inner child out to play. Children can be oh so serious and overly cautious. Hope makes us want this lightheartedness to be prevalent. Pressure is often in the form of trying too hard to enjoy.

The summer solstice June 20, has a grounding energy. It may take a while for the internet to catch up or slow down, depending on your point of view. But our beautiful green blue planet is not without resources. Not to mention all those up in the stars that are rooting for us.

​The Art of the chase is the lesson of the moment. We’re setting up the next 30 years with the creativity that surrounds us. Action is always desirable. Too much contemplation can nullify our perception of reality. Fact is often fleeting like fantasy. Both can be true and fulfilling.

The first of May has a special happiness ring to it.

Celebrations involving sprinkles and fairy dust are in abundance. The fun of silliness is intensified. Choose to see it that way.

What is the chemistry that controls depression? Too much experience of unpleasantness, the rotating brain signaling, stop, at the danger, instead of jumping over it. There are atoms in our chemistry, in all our senses, that remember flinching from the electricity of pain.

What if our focus and attention can create a melody of sustainable light?

How much do we know we don’t know?

The fireworks are all happening in your Gypsy caravan. There are groups to engage and money to be made. You might be juggling many different potential incomes. How do you see beauty? Your perspective may be fluid or elusive but if you feel the creativity, it will be there.

As blood has passion and purpose, the correlation to Mars and the sign Aries is prevalent. The texture, the color, the sound of blood is equivalent to the nature of life. Aries is about beginnings and action. Springtime makes us feel energized and optimistic.

If we can stay stabilized, we can possibly come up with altered circumstances. The pounding of all the planetary changes makes for rapid heartbeats that can be felt with the primary energy. This does not mean that there is need for the extra excitement. Imagine a cloud of feathers.

Visiting the planet Mars seems to be more possible than Venus. The science has proved this. We need to learn mastery over anger and use that energy to get to the fiery heat of Venus. The changes that are happening as needed now, serve your temperament of action. Never forget to smell the roses.

​The universal truth of opposition is in full blown rebellion. Sometimes it seems easier to not say anything when another’s point of view is expressed. Often the response is predicated by the belief that it will never be heard. Our interior monologues circumvent whatever someone may be telling you, if it is not your belief.
 
What of the pituitary gland? Can it circumvent the perceptions of others and portray a simplicity of completeness? How to let go the extreme emotions that are not really your own.

​Big changes in the air. Don’t try to keep up. You are needed in the fluid mode you excel at. Accept the idea that constraints are not necessary. However you merge with others, it is your biggest gift. Try to not overcompensate by being rigid. Remember love, beauty and peacefulness are your greatest assets.

​The midpoint between winter and spring is now. The Celtic Imbolc celebrates this. The premiere worship is light or the Sun. We need to step into it to create new life and hope.

The sign for this is Leo, the King, or individual. As we are now swirling around in Aquarius, there is a bit of blending of recognizing when we are ego driven, and when the collective speaks in a more demanding way.

We need to recognize the Pluto in Aquarius energy as it is the speed of lighting we are contending with.

The Pluto in Leo generation pushed us into demanding every possible position of the individual. Perhaps the upshot has become about who is entitled to more.

​Of all the signs you adapt to change best. Particularly if it’s your idea. Any new learning, any field, will bring a kaleidoscope of possibilities. It can be simple, sweep the steps, balance the skateboard. Of course, the airwaves are a strength you grasp. The ephemeral is a way to make money. A flower shop?
