READING 1248-1
As we find, these are from the astrological aspects - but know that these are ONLY as inclinations. And the will of the self or of the entity may change these often.
DO NOT confuse self, then, with that which is of a selfish nature and that which is of its import spiritual in its aspect, intent and purpose. For as has been indicated, these will be inclinations in the present experience.
Those influences then from Venus we find making the inclinations for one while not exactly the clinging type, or of a demure nature, we do find it rather eccentric in its friendships, in its inclinations - and these as we find have been questioned by others.
Know that no meeting with other individuals is chance. RATHER should it be - and is - as an opportunity not only for self-expression but for the expression of that for which the real self stands.
Hence we will find that beauty of manner, beauty of speech, ease of expressing itself, will become more and more beautiful - if the ideals and the purposes are set in those desires of a spiritual aspect.
This does not intend to indicate a long-facedness, or never thinking of that as would in the present day parlance be called "a good time," but rather that each activity has a PURPOSE in itself - and these will make for then those influences for a tendency to grow more and more BEAUTIFUL in the expression of self and in the choice of relationships, companionships, associations, those conditions that are to become and are becoming a portion of the real inner self.
Time to the entity appears so oft to be such an important factor, and "This must be accomplished now." Hence those tendencies for impatience must be turned rather to understanding that the seed sown in act or word today brings in due season the flower, the stem and the fruits thereof. For an immutable law in materiality, in mentality, in spirituality, is that what ye sow ye reap. And WAIT on those influences for the KNOWING what the fruit of that act, that deed, that word may be that is given day by day.
This does not make for solemnity, rather does it make for joyousness. And every experience then in life and in the associations may be taken as a beautiful game, as a wonderment, with each day bringing joy, health, strength for the natural inclinations and vitality of the body - barring accidents. And beware of speeding trains, cars, or anything that goes TOO FAST! For THESE are a portion of the inclinations in self. Without these the body in this experience, even from its sojourns in the Venus influence, the environs thereof, should be rather beautiful in mind, in body and in disposition. But the DISPOSITION ye make!
READING 1248-1 EXPLAINED
The influences described — astrological or otherwise — are only tendencies in the personality. They are surface movements. They belong to temperament, to habit, to inclination. But they are not the core identity. The real self is deeper than influence. It is deeper than mood. It is deeper than inherited pattern. The reading makes this very clear when it says not to confuse the self with selfishness. The selfish nature is reactive, impatient, image-driven, or desire-driven. The REAL SELF is spiritual in intent, purpose, and direction.
The real self is the part of you that knows why you are here.
Venus is described as giving certain inclinations — unusual friendships, unconventional attractions, a slightly eccentric relational style. Others may question these choices. But the reading is not concerned with social approval. It is concerned with whether those relationships allow the real self to express itself. No meeting is by chance because every encounter is an opportunity for the real self to become visible. Every relationship is a stage on which the deeper identity either hides or reveals itself.
The real self is not passive. It is not shy. It is not defined by what others think. It expresses through beauty of speech, beauty of manner, ease of presence — but only when ideals are aligned with spiritual purpose. When motives are clear and elevated, expression becomes naturally refined. Beauty becomes the outer sign of inner alignment.
The reading also addresses impatience. The personality feels urgency — “This must be done now.” But impatience belongs to the outer self, the ego layer that wants quick results. The real self understands law. It understands sowing and reaping. It understands that every word, every act, every intention plants something in consciousness. Growth unfolds in season. The real self trusts process.
Waiting, then, is not weakness. It is strength. It is alignment with how reality actually works.
The reading also says life is not meant to become solemn or heavy. The real self is not grim or rigid. It carries joy. It approaches experience as a beautiful unfolding — almost like a game of discovery. Each day becomes an opportunity to express vitality, health, and presence. When aligned, the system is naturally harmonious.
Then there is the warning about speed — about things that go too fast. This is more than physical caution. It reflects the tendency of the outer self to accelerate beyond wisdom. The real self does not rush. It moves with strength but not recklessness. It understands rhythm. It knows timing.
The closing line is the most revealing: the disposition ye make.
Disposition is not destiny. It is chosen. The real self is beautiful in mind, body, and spirit by design. But the tone of life — whether impatient or peaceful, reactive or radiant — is shaped by the will.
In essence, the reading is saying:
You are not your tendencies.
You are not your impulses.
You are not your impatience.
The REAL SELF is the spiritual core that chooses.
It uses inclinations as tools.
It transforms relationships into growth.
It turns urgency into trust.
It refines beauty through intention.
It moves with joy instead of pressure.
And the life you experience outwardly becomes a reflection of how faithfully that real self is allowed to lead.
