The general horoscope

After heavy rain a pond goes muddy, and then, if nobody stirs it, clear enough to see the bottom. Today is the clearing. Venus, retrograde in Scorpio, is past the exact square to Pluto, and the pull on love, money and pride lets go a little. The Moon enters Pisces and trines Venus almost to the degree, so feelings that came out sharp yesterday come back soft, as if someone had rinsed them. Do not stir. The Sun is closing in on Venus and squaring Pluto, and by the weekend the same old questions will want a cleaner answer. That is the weekend. Today asks only that you let things settle before you name them. Mercury still squares Jupiter, and big words are cheap, so spend few. The Moon squares Uranus, and a plan may change at short notice. Let it. Small, warm acts beat any speech: a cup made for someone without asking, a message that only says thank you. The frog keeps still on her lily pad and waits. The water always clears for those who stop kicking.
