IN THE HOUSE OF THE SOUTHWEST (2 Soil- planning, accumulation)

In some ways, this house is similar to the previous month. Still at issue, are the difficulties in making visible progress towards your greater hopes and dreams. Also, people and situations may place arduous, even ridiculous, tasks and demands upon you.

However, your inward energy will modify and your outlook will be more contented with taking on the role of supporting others. In fact, you will be happy to help those individuals whose manner is not too overbearing or too unclear. It will be especially desirable to lend support to those people who share common aspirations and ideals.

This is a good time to behave in a conservative manner, especially in social situations. This will develop an atmosphere of trust and good relations and will attract others toward you, for advice and information.

Though your spiritual inclinations may not be so strong as in the previous house, it is still an excellent time to study educational material and to read uplifting books.

This is a great time to make plans for the future, on your own, or with others. But, it is not a good time to put major plans into action. In fact, if you are too pushy and try to force something to happen, the odds are very high that your plan will backfire, with results far different than you had hoped. It is much better to sustain a "steady as she goes" attitude and to maintain your dream through consistent perseverance.

Next month, you’ll enter the 3 Tree position and there will be a greater potential for visible, active progress. Knowing that, this month provides a valuable opportunity to plan ahead and prepare for the coming time period.

It is best to avoid fatty/greasy foods and all foods that cause stagnation, such as milk, cheese and doughy or toasted bread.
