Thoughts for the weekend: 30-31 May

We have two major planetary currents running right now, and they're moving at cross-purposes.

1. There's a tremendous amount of pressure on all of us around work. Over the weekend, examine how you use your energy in your work, your play, and with your body. Work situations are challenging all of our abilities and stamina. There's a real desire to rebel against external demands, or to seek new places to work or to live. Keeping the rebellion bottled up inside adds to tension. Examine your situation carefully. What parts do you want to change, and what do you want to keep? Look closely before you act. Make plans now to take you forward out of your current situation.

Physically it's easy to be run-down from the constant pressure to perform. It's time to reinvigorate our bodies. This weekend, schedule in plenty of rest, maybe more than you normally take. Reduce stress through sensible exercise and an excellent diet.


2. The counter-current is a deep up-welling of spiritual energy. There's a desire for faith and trust in forces beyond the physical. You may experience this through an opening to artistic expression, meditation and spiritual discipline, or care directed to those in need. I'll be blogging more about this contact this week - it's Jupiter and Neptune combining their energies.

The important thing is to reduce what you're doing this weekend. Saturn is Saturn's day. Properly to honor Saturn involves making time for rest, contemplation – and not doing gobs of busy things. So block out some time tomorrow and have yourself a well-deserved rest.

Thank you for this, Tom. It was almost funny to read in retrospect; I didn't see it posted until today and looking back over the weekend it's almost funny how accurate your guidance was / would have been. Do you have anything for next weekend yet?

Re: Thoughts for the weekend: 30-31 May

Thanks so much for your kind feedback. And I have a little secret: what you read above was machine-generated! I've been working for the past year on my new astrological service, and I'm now able to generate pretty good stuff - both on a mundane level (for everyone) and on a personalized level.

I'll post shortly about this week. In the mean time, please check out my new post about Inspired Expansion: what happens when Jupiter and Neptune get together.
