Are You A Taker or Giver of Life: Astrology of October 2020
 
Astro-Weather, October 2020: There is a grand trine in earth signs -- formed by Venus, the Moon, Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn, and Uranus. Over half of the planetary bodies are in either Capricorn, Virgo, and Taurus!
 
Perhaps that is why we now encounter the phrase: "Essential workers." Because now is the time to consider the practicality of our daily actions -- and whether or not they support life on Earth or take away from it. 
 
Here are some ideas to contemplate in October 2020:
 
Do your activities represent a life-sustaining influence that supports health and sustainability in the world? There are many professions. Some are involved in "taking" and some are involved in "creating." By going down the "economic food chain" and seeing how your profession and daily activities fit into it, you might be able to answer this question. But be careful. Sometimes activities based on pleasure and vanity are essential to replenishing us with the hope and optimism we require to keep "working" and "creating" the things that support life. 
 
Also, even if you're not physically planting seeds in the soil, or tending to the sick and wounded in hospitals, your activities (and those of others) *might* still be essential to supporting life. This could happen through a difficult-to-discern chain of events. A ripple effect where all is in harmony with goodness in spite of appearances.
 
Then again, some of our activities (and inactivities) are aligned with laziness, greed, selfishness, vanity, pride, and taking what we have not earned -- and these activities might not support life. 
 
While rooting out the actions and inactions that take without giving, it's our job to focus primarily on ourselves. To notice where we ourselves are "taking," and where we are giving life to the "takers." Then, we can apply the earth principles of practicality to the situation -- and hopefully we find the strength to stop doing it.
 
There are entire industries -- and personalities -- that are devoted to manipulating, forcing, coercing, deluding, and deceiving others into believing that they must forfeit the fruits of their honest and real labors so that these vampiric forces can continue to live. These people and organizations are actually powerless and helpless at their core. These "succubus" people, industries, and governments would either die or start working to produce life -- literally in a matter of days -- if they were met with one simple word, "No." 
 
Sometimes, a single person saying "no" is enough. Other times, this "no" must be said by thousands, millions -- even billions of people. What I mean to say is that this concept works on both the "person-to-person" scale and the "grand, global scale."
 
While none of us are pure "creators," and none of us are pure "vampires," some of us lean further to one side of the spectrum than others (and we don't even realize it) -- because society teaches that certain behaviors that are destructive to life are perfectly acceptable, even admired and revered by concepts of "style," "coolness," and "social value" -- so unless we take a cold, practical look under the hood (with a strong desire for truth), we may not realize what's really going on. 
 
We all engage in many different activities throughout the day, so it would be good if the sum total of your activities adds up to a positive (instead of a negative). In this way, you can feel confident knowing that your activities support life on Earth and you are a good citizen or participant in the communities/societies/industries/groups where you find yourself -- instead of the other way around. 
 
Also, take care not to pump yourself up as a supposed "life-giver" compared to the supposed "life-takers" of the world. If your finger happens to be pointing, walk directly to the mirror -- and ask, "Am I the thing I detest in others?" Also, make sure that your pointing finger is sending the energy of kindness, tolerance, respect, dignity, love, and understanding -- no matter where you happen to be pointing it.
 
We are all blind and we are all ignorant as we bumble and stumble. We feel our ways against the walls of consequence in search of the surefooted path. Sometimes we touch the wall with our fingers. And sometimes we are the wall.
