"Be Kind For Everyone You Meet Is Fighting A Hard Battle." This quote from Plato, the most well-known Greek philosopher of ancient times, has appeared in my orbit a few times lately.
I thought of subbing "hard transit" for hard battle, with so many facing major life challenges now. I've had Saturn riding my Mars for awhile, and see it playing out with an actual antagonist, looking to bring pressure on us using local authorities, as I've written in a previous post. Most of the action so far, with Saturn being in Libra, has been relatively respectful, and luckily, we have allies.
I don't like sweeping statements about the trends, but with Uranus in fighting Aries in square to Pluto, there are battles brewing or in progress, on many fronts, large and small, local and global. There can be a lot of raw, trial and error with Aries. And being kind, can mean stepping back and giving someone space to find their own way.
The photo of the week comes from CLUC with the caption, "Human being and universe: Any answer from somewhere ?" What I've noticed in my own battles, is that there's the questioning of why or how, to god/goddess or however you experience the greater force. The dialogue with spirit can be a lifeline, as answers to questions do come -- through impulses, dreams, serendipity.

It’s important to remember that it’s not always about “me” and give another the encouragement and space to grow and make decisions that are right for them, and in doing so realize it’s probably the right thing all the way around..
Exactly, and giving the other a chance to trust their own instincts — and learn from the doing. In such a volatile time, this has an added high stakes factor, but hey, here we are…living in extreme times.
Can’t remember who quoted on astrology, but Cancers, Libras, Aries, Capricorns will be tested throughout for 20 yrs or more. Just my luck, I’m a Cancer right square in the middle of Uranus & Pluto with Saturn. For the last 12 years, give ‘an’ take many bumps bruises, which lead to unconditional love, non judging, forgiveness, compassion for all the tries that have rung true. Giving everyone much credit for their efforts to finish out their karmic needs combining with my karmic fulfillment. I’ve met many young souls and understanding their concerns. Since the new era will be dominated by mature soul values, the world will not be an easy place to live in despite great improvements in the standard of living and in overall relations. The world will be characterized by strong emotions, drama, and an effort to bend over backward to try to accommodate everyone at the expense of being practical. Not until the world is dominated by old soul values will the world become a much easier place to live. That is yet several centuries off. Namaste
