is a time to spend, spend, spend -money. And what is money? Take a five dollar bill, what is besides a piece of paper? Supposedly, it is a claim on the U.S. Federal Reserve bank for -precisely- 5 dollars. It is also a relationship between lender and borrower, an agreement, five units of faith in our financial institutions ability to keep things running smoothly.
Experts explain that in a transaction, using cash is synonymous to moving money from one hand to another. Using a credit card instead, actually creates new money... Go figure. Sometimes, the most basic concepts are utterly mind-boggling.
I'd say, don't think about it, pretend I didn't mention any of it, go have fun, buy, buy, buy, one store, one check-out line, one item, at a time. No pushing, no shoving others to get the prize. Take a deep breath, check your booklets of coupons, rush, rush, rush. Maybe you'll meet some friends and have a quick chat. Try to be kind to those working behind the counter, smile, be patient, do your share to get the economy back on track.
Or, spend some quality time with your loved ones, while the crowds gather and dissipate. Listen to your heart, meditate, contemplate. Whatever it is you're doing, do it with kindness, and genuine awareness.
As far as I can see, through my office window, this is a pretty bright and sunny day.
Meanwhile, explosive Pluto is back in careful Capricorn, catalyst Uranus is no longer in retrograde. And, look over there: Sun, Mercury and Mars are planning on having some good time in Sagittarius.
Life is transformation, and transformation is taking place, always, especially nowadays. Be flexible, malleable, opened to be taken by the newness of what is to come. Learn to balance in imbalance. What is seemingly solid, is more like a plank floating in an ocean of possibilities, with change rippling through and through. Nothing is bound to last.
Life is a dance.... don't be too rigid.
A note to self
