“One day work is hard, and another day it is easy; but if I had waited for inspiration I am afraid I should have done nothing. The miner does not sit at the top of the shaft waiting for the coal to come bubbling up to the surface. One must go deep down, and work out every vein carefully.”
— Arthur Sullivan

One of the rules of our society involves what I will call mandatory exclusion. For example, imagine you’ve been single for a while, and you meet someone you like. Then the next day you meet someone else that you like. There would seem to be some unwritten law that says you can only choose one of those people, to the exclusion of the other. Into this mix is often added guilt and shame in a diversity of formulations. Now, let’s consider your here-and-now reality. You are curious, or so it looks from your solar charts. Your imagination is on fire. You may be so consumed with desire that you doubt your ability to think clearly, and thus to make a good decision. Here is an idea to consider: You have the right, and the ability, to experiment without making a ‘permanent’ commitment in the process. This is, however, less about the expectations of others and more about what you’re willing to allow yourself to experience and feel.

If Your Birthday is May 13
(The Day of Natural Appeal) | Taurus Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Notice what garners your intense appreciation today, particularly in the arts. Is it works (or people) that are especially sexual, or emotionally intense, or worth a lot of money? Are ‘poetic’ dark themes or secrets drawing you in? Conversely, do you feel deeply appreciative of friendships, close female bonds, or what you have to share with a relationship partner? By noticing and seeing clearly what you are meeting on the outside, it’s often possible to trace its existence within yourself, too.
Written in the Planets
Today the Moon travels through late Sagittarius. Travel and freedom of movement — including emotional freedom — could be calling your name today. Along the way, the Moon aspects Uranus-Eris, which could feed an urge to shake things up. There’s also a reminder to keep your actions ethical; it’s amazing what people use their emotional state to justify. Note that as the Moon conjoins retrograde Saturn and the Galactic Core late in the evening the tone could shift to something more somber, yet also more tuned in to what you might call ‘cosmic truths’. Watch out for dogma, and adjust your spiritual antennae accordingly.
