### **Summary**

Water flows downhill and gathers together in the oceans, lakes, and basins of the world. In doing so it holds together. This is the natural direction of things, and those who hesitate or resist the flow always are forced to join eventually.

There is resistance and a feeling of “storminess” around right now. Old wounds resurface, communication is difficult, and this forces uneasy introspection. The Oracle tells us that this week, the best way to approach the situation is to find comfort with family or friends, and to flow “downhill” with what feels natural. This may not be easy, but it is what will keep danger away. Things should lighten as we get closer to the middle of the month.

### **Oracle outputs**

    1st: T,H,H > Stable Yin
    2nd: H,T,H > Stable Yin

Multiple planetary influences are in retrograde at the moment, emphasising the “turbulence” many are feeling. Next Sunday, we will have a full moon.

Blessings to you all.
