TOXIC SYMPATHY
“A nest of young birds, over which a hawk is seen hovering.” — The 360 Symbolic Degrees
Naive trust lets deceptive energies in where they don’t belong, including your own home or trusted company. Now’s the time to be guarded and even suspicious.
Attend to own health (you’re not responsible for others.)
If you already have a clear, common sense plan and you’re busy with your own work, there’s nothing to worry about. Enjoy the energy burst!
Just be prepared for unexpected changes within a group through the New Moon. It may be best to stay under the radar; leave the painful past behind.
Sympathy for the wrong person is no virtue.
Honest, mature, hard-working. Or, acting without regard to consequences. Weak, dizzy, confused, indecisive, naive. Easy prey, taken advantage of, whether saint or sinner. Danger from jealous or deceitful person, even in own home – or trusted group. Danger from swift progressing illness or fire. Homicidal. Medical, meningitis, left auricle. Karmic dreams of past lives. Prophecy. Protect your energy. Cultivate common sense.
