Reading for Sunday, September 17, 2023 This looks like a day for getting down to brass tacks. Events have a weighty life of their own and activity is in full swing. There are so many twists and turns, yet we easily participate in them. Whatever intentions are set into motion, they carry momentum. These may cause some relationships to feel emotionally unsafe or at least uncomfortable, however. We are surrounded by allies and those very familiar to us. We may find them taking sides with and against us in some fashion. Engagement between people happens easily. However, it tends to be fraught with over-indulgence and with making choices somewhat haltingly. This could cause some embarrassments. Foundations and structures may be getting tested these days. There are flooding risks that may make home life hard.
