° Stress, yet Giving ° 0 "The words that I speak unto you are spirit and are life." - Jesus in John chapter 6. I heartily recommend reading a chapter per day of the 89 chapters of the four Gospels. 1 This week is not so much a merry as a serious Christmas time. Today and Tuesday require attention to job or career matters. Wednesday, Christmas itself, has more leeway for friendship but still is serious. What is your soul asking of you? 2 Energy is under stress but can be summoned to complete long-standing plans or obligations. 3 Health issues for some may flare up but are curable by positive thinking and prayer. 4 Despite stress there could be a giving mood, with Luna trine Jupiter, more than on Tuesday. ° Monday ° Stress, yet Giving ° Cosmic Piper Moon in Libra

♡ Morale and Rapport ♡ 1 As I write, Speaker Johnson just proclaimed confidently that there will be no government shutdown at midnight. But this enormously complex and confusing battle over the budget is SOLID EVIDENCE that Cosmic Piper's insistence that the two weeks following a Mercury Retrograde period are almost EXACTLY like the period itself. They are the conclusion of the Dark or Slow Hermetic Epoch. Re^versals, re^writings, re^jections and re^visions--until we, or Congress, finally get it right. The new Bright or fast-forward Epoch does not begin until January 4. Keyword: Patience! 2 I have said, as unwilling Grinch, that this year's Christmas would not be merry but thoughtful. That's because of the karmically intense square between Jupiter and Saturn, exact Christmas Eve but continuing till the end of July. It's a fight to get things right rather than be shamed by getting them wrong or just neglecting them. It's a struggle of the soul to live by its ideals rather than idle conveniences. "A widow's past brought to light" suggests that we sense the error of our ways and re^pent. The keyword is Rectification. 3 We may look out of "a very small unpretentious window in the wall of a massive tower." "Such persons do not seek display but are ever happy amid the offspring of their own genius." 4 "A rug is placed on a floor for children to play." This could be self-indulgence, or Refinement through "exploitation of immediate resources." 5 "An officer preparing to drill his men" could be happening in war zones. It's reminiscent of Trump or Musk preparing to work with new appointees come January. Some group you belong to could have a "drill" you need to follow. 6 "A man is formally dressed. A deer has its horns folded." Talents win trophies and esteem. The keyword is Morale. 7 "The moon is shining across a lake." Magic may always be called upon in facing psychological adjustment. Fellowship of feeling leads to romance. Natural events shape themselves to meet the individual's yearning for deeper experience. The keyword is Rapport. 8 "A conversation by telepathy" symbolizes "the transcendent level on which human experience has its truest focus." "Illimitable ties between each individual and every other provide the fabric for a fellowship of invisible sympathies or co-operations." The keyword is Intimation. Much of this sounds like Christmas at its best. ♡ Morale and Rapport ♡ Week of December 21-28, 2024 Cosmic Piper Saturday 21 Moon in Virgo Sunday 22 Moon in Virgo going void of course at 5:28a PT, entering Libra at 11:09a PT / Karmically sobering third of week ends aroun

● Aspiration toward the Supernormal ● 1 "In an almost nude state a number of men are working in a forge beneath the surface of the earth. It's the engine room of a large steamer." "This person may leave his native land under very gloomy circumstances," says Charubel. "I advise him to live quietly in a settled and uniform mode of living, and not take on any office where great responsibilities are involved." This sounds like what many are going through in Syria, Ukraine, and other war zones. "Cool it" is appropriate advice. 2 Aspiration toward the spiritual and supernormal could be intense. "A smith's forge and bellows" carries on a theme of the previous paragraph. Some will "fan the spark of intelligent faith into a flame of conviction." "Their walk in life, though devoid of ostentation, will be of singular service to humanity. They are great of soul." 3 Paragraph 1 recommends keeping a low profile, but now we have "A man standing on a platform with an audience in front." There is tension between hidden and public roles. One might wish to be a political orator, or else stick to less divisive literary discourse. People have to say what they think, somehow or other, unless censorship is overweening. 4 It's the final day of Autumn. The Winter Solstice is upon us. It's the darkest day of the year. Oddly enough, the darkening twelfth of the year belongs to Sagittarius, a fire sign, while the early-brightening twelfth is Capricorn, an earth sign. That begins Saturday at 1:22a PT / 4:22a ET. Charubel"s symbol for the final degree of Sagittarius is appropriate: "A man standing alone in a dark and gloomy valley, and a ray of brilliant light coming direct from the heavens on the crown of his head." "One who has a mission to execute; a cyclic man, not a time man; one who lives a life beyond his day; not always understood." Some of us feel that way. ● Friday ● Aspiration toward the Supernormal ● Cosmic Piper Moon in Virgo Karmically sobering third of this week is with us until Sunday afternoon

Message for Thursday 19 December 2024 □ Alliances □ 1 With both Mars and Mercury at their geocentric stations, symbols repeat themselves, and again we have "Rocks and things forming therein." Certain circumstances form the matrix of your everyday existence; are your endowment. You wish it were more munificent, but whatever it is it's the foundation for your initiatives. Slow? Yes. The keyword is Composition. Be composed. 2 Another re*peating symbol: "An old-fashioned woman and an up-to-date girl." A friend invited me out for a drink but insisted "no politics." Probably each of us thinks he is the up-to-date one and the other the old-fashioned one. The contrast doesn't have to be competitive. We can respect our differences while playing out our roles within the friendship. 3 Maybe during this Dark or Slow Epoch we have felt like delaying, or been forced to delay, a lot of things, but now "a fat boy is mowing the lawn" (or shoveling snow). We are, day by day, getting back to usual schedules which no longer seem so onerous. We realize that participating in human life requires carrying out ordinary tasks. 4 The hard Saturn aspects continuing make it hard to take the final symbol literally: "A ship in full sail upon a sunlit sea." Yet there is an enterprising or adventurous spirit, associations with others remote, a catholic or cosmopolitan trend. There are alliances productive of great good. □ Thursday □ Alliances □ Cosmic Piper Moon in Leo

○ Conserving Values ○ 1 We are warned of a possible collapse or catastrophe. "A broken bridge spanning a rapid stream" suggests a need for repair. We spoke yesterday of the Jupiter-Saturn square, exact on Christmas Eve. It's a karmic aspect (lasting even through next July) requiring us to struggle to uphold morality and to hold fast to ideals and work for them. That would prevent dire karmic consequences. 2 Our matrix of everyday may seem like "rocks and things forming therein." The Dark or Slow Epoch continuing until January 4 slows us down. Even little things seem to waste time. Coffee spilled, hair in food, bathing or showering taking more time than usual, as examples. Yesterday my refrigerator door started to squeak! Fortunately the remedy, an oil can, is a few feet away. I'll get to it. I couldn't receive important emails for a whole day until I found them in the spam folder; Gmail said I had "blocked" my most important sender! This has never happened before but it happened, naturally, during a Dark Epoch. "Rocks and things forming therein" symbolize slowly forming Composition in our lives. "Each person in accepting his roots and capitalizing on his endowment is enabled to proceed to high achievement." 3 We approach "an old bridge over a beautiful stream." The bridge of paragraph 1 has been rebuilt! The keyword is Conservation. Old things, relatives, old friends and memories are cushions for us during this Dark Hermetic Epoch. 4 If we can tune in to the fortunate trine between Venus and Jupiter we will enjoy the conscious and unconscious role-playing of those around us. There are contrasts, as in the difference between "an old-fashioned woman and an up-to-date girl." They do not compete with each other but stimulate each other. Creatively, we appreciate or adapt the styles and values of others. ○ Monday ○ Conserving Values ○ Cosmic Piper Moon in Leo

♤ Awe ♡ 1 What are these reports good for? I leave an answer to you. 2 I can only say what I am trying to do, and give some rationale for it. 3 All stems from my realization decades ago that it was more fruitful to study the current astrological positions and aspects, "in the sky" for everyone, than to ponder aspects to my own birth chart. 4 I expressed it like this: "There is only one human being." An exaggeration, of course. But when Venus and Mars are in a good strong aspect, my "love life," whether romantic or just friendship, improves, no matter what aspects are or are not happening to my birth chart. And likewise, those around me are having better times in relationships. 5 Test this by seeing what happens for you from January 18 through February 2, 2025, when Venus in Pisces shall trine Mars in Cancer. 6 For all of us Mercury turned direct on Sunday afternoon, December 15, and since then I have been feeling calmer. It's a subtle turning point. That may be why I felt like writing this today. 7 Still, that planet remains in its Slow or Dark phase (Epoch) until January 4. It's as if a train is finally on the right track but still has to add cars and make adjustments before going full speed ahead during the Bright Epoch of January 4 through February 28. 8 The most crucial aspect now is Jupiter square Saturn, exact on December 24. Christmas this year may not be as merry as thoughtful. This aspect's broad tenure is last July 6 until next July 31. It is an ethical, karmic aspect. Marc Edmund Jones gives a firm warning: "The native usually suffers very immediate consequences of even the least neglect or abuse of his own potentials. He finds he must fight continually for the ideals in which he has come to take the most consistent interest, and also learns that his conscious well-being is wholly dependent on the moral struggles in which he becomes involved almost inevitably at every stage of his experience." 9 Heavy medicine, instilling the fear of God, or awe of Him. I'm feeling it. The Scriptures teach that it should be balanced by gratitude and love for the Supreme. ♤ Tuesday Awe ♡ Cosmic Piper Moon in Cancer, void of course at 10:35a PT / 1:35P ET until entering Leo at 3:40p PT / 6:40p ET

♧ Prowess plus Leisure ♧ 1 "A lion raging against the bars of its cage" is us coping with our ordinary daily restrictions. It's true that Mercury is no longer retrograde, having turned direct Sunday afternoon, but its slow phase, termed the Dark Hermetic Epoch, continues until January 4. "Little things" continue to be sticky or take twice as long. A love of freedom finds it hard to submit to infrangible delays. We should try to realize that others also have rights and privileges. We can be patient for our sake as well as theirs. 2 Still, Mars in Leo makes us likely to rush into disputes. This is all right if discreet and wisely reined. A soldier's courage and strength is ours, while reining in undue self-assertion increases prowess. 3 There could be some hours when we are like "cattle browsing in the sunshine," placid, contented, happy and self-possessed. The Dark Epoch is best when leisure balances ambition. 4 Fidelity and friendship are available, what with Venus and Jupiter in a trine. Someone with gifts of imitation, acting, and powers of dramatic representation could please you. Lighthearted humor does not conceal a deep and sympathetic nature. ♧ Monday ♧ Prowess plus Leisure ♧ Cosmic Piper Moon in Cancer

♡ Clarification ♡ 1 "A train entering a tunnel" is yourself being willing to go slow and work in the darkness when need be. The current Dark Hermetic Epoch lasts until January 4. Courteously, you let others follow their own paths while you follow yours. Light shall dawn at the end of the tunnel. 2 "A tortoise" is patient and steady. To him all tasks are trivial. Toil does not dismay him. Through steadfastness and endurance he attains to the position he has set out to gain. 3 "Two men playing cards together" enjoy the hazards of speculation. They count on nothing beyond the day, following lives of change and chance. They are hopeful, jovial and good-hearted. Despite privation, the good spirits of each cheer the other. 4 "Two Dutch children talking" share common elements of background and skills. There is self-confidence of spirit. They establish themselves advantageously at ease in any situation. "Hey, brother! Hey, sister!" The keyword is Clarification. 5 Is "a large ball of fire flying through the air" Donald Trump? He was born with Leo, a fire sign, rising, with Mars therein; and that planet is now in Leo, stationary turning retrograde. Further, many of his appointees have strong placements in that sign, including Bobby Kennedy, JD Vance and Kash Patel. "He has a special mission of an extraordinary character and cannot fail to become a ruler of men." 6 The financial and business fortunes of many seem uncertain while Mercury is retrograde; yet we have "a field of ripe corn ready for the sickle." Venus and Jupiter, the two "benefic" planets, are in a trine December 12--27, brightening the holiday season with "health of body, peace of mind, a most happy disposition, and prosperity in worldly transactions." Deck the halls! 7 Yet there can be delays even though Mercury turns direct late Sunday-early Monday. The Dark or Slow Epoch continues until January 4. "The human soul is awaiting opportunity for expression." Meanwhile there can be "an absolute wholeheartedness of participation in the everyday adventures of personality."

◇ Search Escape, Fortune ◇ 1 Re>search goes along with Mercury Re<trograde. 'A person at the bottom of a deep ravine, with lamp in hand, is looking for something.' Many life coaches find it therapeutic to ask clients, 'What are you looking for?' Putting that in a few words might help. 2 'A lion standing in the open arena' knows what he wants: Escape! for he has been imprisoned, restrained, and forced into servitude. His nature loves freedom. 'He will suffer and serve, and thus gain both wisdom and freedom for all time.' 3 'A large ball of fire flying through the air' 'denotes one who has a special mission of an extraordinary character. He cannot fail to become a ruler of men, and a giant intellectually or morally.' There may be differences of opinion as to who this is. 4 I predicted here that December 12-27 would be a relatively cheerful holiday period, what with the two benefic planets,Venus and Jupiter, forming a trine. And here we are, with a neighbor decorating my building plus a nativity scene on the Capitol steps. Friends seem friendlier. 'A lady is sitting on a divan fanning herself.' We can enjoy the good things of life, fortune, prosperity. ◇ Friday ◇ Search, Escape, Fortune ◇ Cosmic Piper Moon in Taurus-->Gemini goes void of course at 4:40a PT / 7:40a ET till entering Gemini at 9:23a PT / 11:23a ET
