^Nowhere Man^

I am having a peculiar day. Things seem bollixed up (while I write on Thursday). What about you?

Little things which make things seem awry:

1. The moon is in Scorpio until Friday afternoon. This is the sign of the moon's "fall," for it is "exalted" in Taurus, the sign opposite Scorpio. Moods can be down or scrambled. I had a lot of noise from the neighborhood. A scheduled Zoom meeting had to be started three separate times. I feel weary and just want to go out for a drink!

2 We are in the Dark Hermetic Epoch until May 12, not terrible but subject to unexpected changes and whims. Mercury shall go retrograde April 1, the Fool's day, until the 25th. Be prepared for "out of pattern" events and choices. 

Such as: My choice to NOT write a regular sonnet-forecast for Friday and go out for a drink instead.

But I expect to post a fore-taste of the coming Fortnight, April 2-15, sometime Friday.

In the bar I will read uplifting spiritual literature on my phone and communicate with people on X. 

It seems that I need a break. How are things with you?

The stile he approaches is mental, letting him into

A new level of understanding through sound reasoning.

He stands with head erect on a lofty place, 

Arms folded, cool, collected, loving himself.

/

Yet when he encounters a woman of dark countenance

He falls prostrate before her, his influential

Undoing. He gets up to follow a straight 

Road branching in four directions, a finger-post

/

Pointing but one. Is this his path? he asks a

Crystal gazer of illimitable purview

She smiles, her acuteness failing sharp insight.

"Visit the church bazaar yonder," she suggests.

/

It's an assemblage of colorful vivifying contacts

And prizes; philanthropy as a pyramiding game.

No animal or vegetable life is to be seen while

Earth is covered with deep snow. All is cheerless,

Yet on a narrow isthmus there is heavy traffic.

Things converge in transient patterns of human

Potentials. A man surrounded by others seeking a

Quarrel has himself fomented strife rashly.

Another carries a helical scroll, lost in fickle

Projects and imaginings circuitously leading him

Back to himself. He dons a large hat with streamers

Flying, facing east, stirring to novel or phallic

Excitation, naïve creativity. The

There is heavy traffic on a narrow isthmus. 

Intense convergence requires organizing

Discipline, or else two daggers shall be 

Crossed in contention, litigation, wounding. 

/

A fox runs along a path beneath the shadow of

A wall--wily, prudent, defending himself through

Caution. Beyond, a forest of big oaks without

Underwood where all have scope to wander.

Who knows what might be found within its dappled

Shade and sun? A new idea dawns on the world

When the stroller's eyes and insights discover

What only the woods could interpenetratingly

Uncover. He shouts and sings, expressing himself

Throughout two realms: contentious harmony.

Message for Weekend of March 23-24, 2024, and Current Fortnight ~Greening~

Message for Weekend of March 23-24, 2024, and Current Fortnight

~Greening~ (cont'd)

As you can see from the lunar data given below, the weekend including Friday is somewhat dismal, the melancholy of Saturn, as evidenced Friday by the endless media and social-media dwelling on Kate Middleton's announcement about her illness. That is very Saturnine, as is all illness, though she handled it in a somewhat Jupiterian way (Venus is making a sextile with that planet), admired by many because she emphasized healing and hope. Perhaps by Sunday afternoon-evening the mood shall be lighter. 

Message for Fortnight of March 17-April 1, 2024

~Greening~

This is an edited version of last weekend's report. I think it bears re-thinking.

We have a mostly beneficent sea change in both of the long-term charting methods I have been led to employ through decades of research. A new Dark or Slow Hermetic Epoch begins Tuesday the 19th, extending through May 12th. A new Soli-Lunar Fortnight begins Sunday March 17, extending through April 1. To my hopeful yet critical eye it appears that this Fortnight, and the following one, April 2 through April 15, shall be easier, less stressful, than the one we exited last weekend (March 3-16). Of course they are not without problems or issues.

March 17(Sunday)--April 1 (Monday):

The harshest aspect of the previous Fortnight, Mars square Uranus, is gone. I shall not say giddily that the Ukraine war, or the Israel-Hamas war, shall cease, but they should be more amenable to negotiation.

Perhaps the hardest feature of the new Fortnight is Venus conjoined to Saturn, the "nobody loves me" aspect. It can also feel like "I don't love anybody." But we have learned to live with such feelings on many occasions in the past and can this time also. There is a tendency to separation or isolation, but this could be realism about the proper times to go it alone or with just minimal, businesslike associations. "Every man for himself" does not have to be contempt or disdain for anyone, but a refusal to be sentimental while looking out for one's own interests. However, any tendency to cruelty, in even mild forms, should be resisted or extirpated. Saturn aspects are karmic and one should avoid making new bad karma while working out patiently the old.

However, the stars perplex astrologers by being contradictory, so together with the hardest Venus aspect we have the sweetest, Venus sextile Jupiter. Saturn may curtail the limits of love and friendship, but Jupiter makes what is left gracious, warm and pleasurable. Saturn can be loyalty to old friends and family, sometimes when they seem wearisome, but Jupiter being harmonious with Venus fosters graciousness, sincerity, popularity, sociability, comfort and festivity. This is made even more secure by Uranus's sextile with Venus, welcoming diversity and uniqueness in people. 

There is only one square in the Fortnight chart, that of the retrograde Mercury with Pluto. This is a hint of AI and other kinds of research, or unusual, concentrated mental exercise developing insight and power. At worst it could be nervous fanaticism or overeagerness concerning pet interests. One does not have to know everything in order to secure competent orientation. In Marc Edmund Jones's language, this aspect is 'an inquisitive approach to obsession' and one might reflect on that. What obsession of yours is inviting you to further inquiry? 

Charubel's symbols for the degrees of the zodiac seem to click well with past fortnightly charts. Saturn is in an ominous one, indicating possible black magic or a desire to hurt people. We have had enough of that! It may be that cruelty in many will be 'flushed out' so that it can be recognized and rendered harmless. Choose your villain on the world stage, there are plenty. 

More happily, we have Springtime symbols: 'I see green everywhere; every object a dull green. At the same time everything is on the move.' One may find that, despite many changes, one is 'as far off from the goal as ever.' However, the magical glasses of the Land of Oz give to everything a harmonizing green hue! 

One of my favorite symbols is 'A green field surrounded by shrubberies; a nice villa on the northeast side of the field.' One day this week I walked to a restaurant to the northeast of my home, one I hardly ever visit, and had an unusual, uplifting adventure. You might try an excursion to the northeast of home, job, or your usual haunts. Charubel says, of the enjoyer of the nice villa, or of ourselves in this Fortnight, 'One possesses an adequacy to keep him; and with this he has the disposition to be content.'

Voila!

Treacherous and reserved, destitute of sympathy,

This one's diabolically inclined to hurt

Not help. To combat him, another man rushes

On horseback with sword. Such rashness brings

\

More trouble. A man stripped to the waist hewing

Timberealizes that earnest work could found a safe

Colony. Is there exploitation? No, breadth of 

Participation in community interests. A cameo profile

Of this man appears in the outline of his country.

Who inspires him? A woman in a Grecian robe, neck

And arms bare, hands folded on her lap. She

Smiles. Accessible, kind and gentle, she deserves

Luxury. The field of Ardath is in bloom. The

Universe is friendly to all reliable souls.
