Leftover day????
Harvest time is associated with plenty, abundance, earthy smells and rich goodness. Crops are harvested; people work together; the harvest is sorted, stored, divided up for all to share.... and perhaps that is where the rub lies...
Pisces 27 is the 2nd in the 5-fold series of symbols, Pisces 26-30. As the 2nd degree, it brings a sharp 'awareness of' something that had not been considered in the 1st degree. We could tell the story of a new start for social and collective dynamics. Pisces 25 suggested "The purging of the priesthood', a thrust to clear out dysfunctional authority and controls. Pisces 26 initiates a new take on things ("A new moon divides its influences") suggesting that a new approach in a time following a major change can be regarded in more than one way. Somehow the change does not affect everyone in the same way.
Think of times when there is a house-cleaning. Things are cleared out that are no longer necessary. The closets are cleaned, the storage areas are swept. Everything is freshened up. With all that available space to use in a new way, it is likely that things pile up again very quickly. Now, here is the hot thread of sense involved: somehow, old ways of doing things are never completely wiped clean. The car garage has been cleaned so the car can actually fit... but somehow it fills up again with other things much the way it was before, leaving no room for the car.
In financial matters, this applies to the way unexpected costs keep appearing. It all might seem, or be presented at first, as a simple way to enjoy more of the harvest, but doesn't it cost you? There are the service charges, the bank fees, the lawyer fees, the bigger share for the administrative sector, the this, the that... After a while you end up with hardly enough to live on.
Sounds a bit like bank reform. You know.. the process whereby the banks are bailed out, make more money, and charge the individual more for less service. Sounds like a tax break... you know the one where it all sounds so wonderful on first blush, but ends up making your tax bill greater. Sounds like a free service such as insurance or a phone plan that somehow ends up costing individuals more than ever before.
The question is: "How is the pie divided up?"
The operational rule could be this: anything that chips away at what you actually have... such as your own financial reserves... is bogus. Anything that nickel and dimes you is vestige of an old system that will drain your life-blood and wallet as sure as harvest time.
What you need to understand through Pisces 27, is 'where are you in this process?' If you do not pay attention, you are going to go broke... and be charged interest on that as well.
