Stop. Nothing new should come into your life today, except perhaps a turkey. Things have changed, and you feel pulled off course a bit. There is fun to be had with groups, and romance and artistry are present. Be careful not to have “much too wonderful a time.” There’s a danger of partying too much and spilling the beans in a way that will embarrass you later. Take your mind off work for today. If you engage in conversations about the past, do your best to remember in a pleasant way. Make an effort to remember the good. Avoid mentioning things best discussed in private. Of course, you’ll want to shout them to the skies. Oh well, you can apologize tomorrow and tell people you lost your mind temporarily. It’s true. Albert Einstein said “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.”
The daily astrology post affects everyone. Because individual charts vary, the circumstances outlined in the post will affect people differently. Some will feel this energy in the personal arena, some in finances, some with children or family, some in work and so forth. There are many departments of life. Look to see where the dynamic affects you!
You Are Hope! #Occupy #OWS #OccupyEarth
The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
Did you know that for vegan holidays one can stuff a large not over ripe pumpkin with chestnut and buttery root veggies, bread cubes, spices etc. And for your “manly” protein dish – a vegan lentil loaf with peanut butter based brown gravy. Yum delish! With brown rice and a salad to round it out! Don’t forget your reward, a glass of Champagne to toast the turkey you saved, and viva la Occupation! Got any extra for the soldiers of peace?
Find out where they are, bring comfort. They are prolly eating Cliff Bars, peanut butter and jelly, and looking for somewhere to soak their bruised feet: heroes. We should wash and oil their feet. I see Christ in their eyes. Love and suffering. Nurses! We can treat and bandage their feet. And feed them.
I see Lord Buddha in their bodies, true renunciation for the liberation of all sentient beings. I see the chariots in battle, the Lord Krishna and his entourage, valiantly charging the enemies of truth. May this battle be won!
Dear, valiant noble ones, I look in your eyes and I see the true face. And I love you, my heart follows you; you are hope!

An old mess is being cleaned up and an old problem is being resolved. Keep working. A sudden piece of news or an event is absolutely electrifying. You are jolted forward, inspired, and you see things in a whole new way. Your spirit rises out of the depths and into the sky, soaring. You can put on your traveling shoes and take off. Go somewhere, reach out; expand! News of political matters is satisfying. A leader and his/her followers are in harmony. A group can solve a problem. A woman or child will confide in you, and perhaps tell you the very thing you need to know. Pay attention to what people tell you today. Rene Descartes said “It is not enough to have a good mind. The main thing is to use it well.” Well?

While Samsara Burns
The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
Some of them are prideful, full of themselves in a way that precludes actual opening. Like cigar smoke in a furnished room makes a man.
Some are like Nero, madly playing in the bubble of delusion while samsara burns. Burns.
Some are ignorance. Like eyes watching a world of smoke and mirrors, totally orchestrated by madness.
Some are mechanical, reactive, tight. With a prototype protective covering, no one will notice they are not quite human.
For some it means nothing. Awake, asleep – shallow and deep. Up and high or on the fly – maybe you can’t help it. Or maybe I can’t.
Some go evil. Manipulation is evil. Like raising my kids. No one can discipline unless they have birthed and loved, wanted the best for them, I believe. And stick with that.
And the killers? Just keep them from harming more. I don’t care if they watch cable , swim, and have massage all day.
I wish we could all sit down and pray,
make offerings in some peaceful way,
for our selfishness we could offer light
no reason to fight.
Listen, we can do this,
we can blow right through this,
if we never take our minds off what’s right- Ja!
I could go on all night! Hallelujah and Amen!

Here is a teaching you did not ask for
A teaching by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo
Try to believe in the Love….that the Love that exists is
Absolute. It never varies, it is unchanging. You did nothing
to deserve it and you cannot destroy it. It is your belief in the
Love, your acceptance of it, this changes from moment to
moment, circumstance to circumstance, tossed about on the
waves of your emotions.
Let your heart fall deeper under the surface to where the
waves seem very far away. There you will find it, and me.
Make a samaya now to go deeper every day, to diligently
travel to that calm place where the sands do not shift at all.
You never asked for this! Only for what is temporary,
turbulent, based on a self that you have only imagined. Learn
to ask for what is true. That you will be answered is certain
because the answer is already accomplished.
Beneath the waves it is already there.
I am with you again, still, always.
I do love you.
Written as a birthday gift for a student September 20, 1986 in Poolesville MD

Astrology
A hard fact or situation must be faced today. An older person, or someone who is in trouble, must be tended to. Now is the time to pay back kindness received and favors extended. Seek out those who have helped you in any way and express your gratitude. If you wait, it may be too late. A sudden inspiration or hunch comes. Act on it, and you will be successful. Ignore it and the opportunity fades away. Absolutely keep working on solving the problem at hand, you can do it. At the same time, the urge to travel is strong and if you go somewhere you’ll enjoy it. Confucius said “Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.”
