 Message for Weekend of July 19-20, 2025

Saturday 19: 1 Lofty aspirations and keen mental powers are symbolized by "a flying arrow." Yet there is no guarantee that it shall hit its mark while Mercury is retrograde. If not, try again. 2 In "a swimming race" some contestants are eliminated. Unstable balance requires self-pointed effectiveness to assure survival. 3 "A modern Pocahontas" brings to unity older and fresher facets of human culture. She uncovers surprising compatibility through interpersonal adjustments. 4 Stress and strain can be clearance and reconstruction. There is "sunshine just after a storm." Recuperative powers insure complete recovery. Moon in Taurus goes void-of-course at 11:45p PT Sunday 20: 1 With Venus squaring Mars while Mercury is retrograde, there's a possibility of sorrow through feeling one has been deserted. "A woman in an attitude of detection covers her otherwise naked breast with the hair of her head." There can be blighted hopes or betrayal, in appearance, but one should exercise extreme patience. 2 A giant amusing himself with a child's doll, or maybe video games, seems foolish for a while but may for some reason require such temporary diversion. 3 A man driving a bull or ox symbolizes someone with feet on the ground, close to nature and thereby prospering. 4 "An automobile caravan" shows experience on the move in a civilized society. "Self goes out very courageously to meet its world" thereby curing the perils of paragraph 1. The keyword is Variety. Moon in Gemini beginning at 3:23a PT; void-of-course for 3 hours 38 minutes before that. ° Weekend of July 19-20, 2025 ° Cosmic Piper

• Recovery • 1 "A man sitting upon his heels and breaking stones with a hammer" has few resources and brings little to fruition, but has honestly earned what he has. 2 If he were to enter "a swimming race" the impartial competition could impel him to prove his effectiveness or excellence. 3 When there is "a storm in a canyon" we are challenged to rise in supremacy over each momentary crisis. Nature's intensification can unleash our own powers and resources. 4 Then there is "Sunshine just after a storm." Recuperative powers allow the self to regrasp itself after a major issue, or everyday stress and strain. A fresh approach to experience is Recovery. • Friday • Recovery • Cosmic Piper Moon is void-of-course until entering Taurus at 1:00a PT/ 4:00a ET. Mercury turned retrograde at 9:46p Thursday/ 0:46a Friday, until August 11th. Dreaming, visioning, reminiscing and pondering are normal during such times. During the same period, Venus and Mars in a square make for (possibly constructive) tension in relationships. Don't be in a hurry.

• From Vexation to Acumen • 1 An eccentric path is followed by 'a meteor or falling star." Some people's appearances are bright but spasmodic and evanescent. There is Uncertainty not only about the Epstein case but about much in our personal lives. 2 "A ram standing on a barren rock pawing the ground" is headstrong, a formidable opponent yet a warm-hearted, enthusiastic friend. His impulses are hard to restrain. 3 "A woman holding a bundle of sticks, her hair disordered, wanders in search of something." Mercury is hardly moving, motionless, at its geocentric station at 9:46p PT, thereafter retrograde until August 11th. Nothing is clear and the wandering woman is confused. The Epstein case tangles and tangles to the wrangling didcomfiture of all. We are likely to take on more than we can complete, with resulting vexation and trouble. 4 Where are the answers? Spelled out by a ouija board? Maybe we can see our experience "steadily and whole" while Mercury is motionless. We can "master life through creative sensitiveness to illimitable potentials." The keyword is Acumen. • Thursday • From Vexation to Acumen • Cosmic Piper Moon in Aries goes void-of-course at 5:39p PT Karmically sobering third of this week ends by midmorning

Message for Wednesday 16 July 2025 ● Estranged Divination ● 1 "A ram stands upon a barren rock, pawing the ground." "A formidable opponent and a warm-hearted, generous friend. Effusive, enthusiastic and restless; perhaps poor yet eminent." The keyword is Impulse. 2 "A man in a mask stands beneath the shadow of a tree at night. At his feet there is a dead cow." Remind you of anyone in the news? Someone wily and acquisitive, but perhaps deceived in his own powers. The keyword is Plunder. 3 "A horseman aimed, moving across a desert toward some woody hills" is self-willed and daring, carrying out his own designs without the aid of others. An honorable pioneer, he may be estranged from kindred: taciturn, self-contained and self-reliant. 4 In the woods, shall he and the masked man work "a ouija board" together for "effective anticipation or true rational divination"? Coming events have a myriad of signatures on which they can count if sensitive to them. Such acumen lifts them beyond any shadow-obscured past or future. ● Wednesday ● Estranged Divination ● Cosmic Piper Moon in Aries 

Karmically sobering third of this week continues until Thursday morning

• Amusement or Dedication? • 1 Selfishness and competition are emblemized by "two dogs running, one carrying a bone, the other in pursuit of it." Tariffs? 2 "A giant amusing himself with a child's doll" sounds to me like Elon Musk with his robots and projected futile interplanetary travel. Or others wasting time on video games. 3 "A volcano in eruption" suggests that "irresistible outbursts may be merely the total mobilization of deeper potentials." Explosions can be psychological rather than material; creative passion. 4 "A small church, highly ornate in sacerdotal display" is a physical or online meeting place for those very religious, whether narrow-minded and bigoted or not. We all seem to need fellowship with those of like-minded dedication. • Tuesday • Amusement or Dedication? • Cosmic Piper Moon in Pisces goes void-of-course at 10:11a PT until entering Aries at 9:33p PT Karmically sobering third of this week is with us, at its peak in early morning hours of Wednesday With both those strikes against us, plus Mercury very close to its retrogradation, we may feel lost. Routine things are probably best.

• Youthfulness Recovered •

1 A young laurel tree is broken by the wind and withered. Unforeseen misfortunes frustrate but do not destroy hopefulness and sincere affections. Sepharial recommends self-restraint and contentment.

2 "A giant amusing himself with a child's doll" has strong abilities but rather than using them wisely condescends to play with dolls or video games.

3 Or one could, like an orangutan, go primitive and demonstrate dexterity to meet the exigencies of any unique situation. One strips to fundamentals, standing proudly on one's own.

4 Are you going to a restaurant or inn? "A burly man with an apron before him" is perhaps the manager, or someone else "catering for the public." Bon Appetite! and Cheers!

Moon in Pisces

Mercury is moving very slowly prior to its retrogradation (geocentric) for three weeks beginning Thursday this week. Slow! Draggy! But also reflective and meditative in happy ways if we are not too impatient. The effects of the retrograde or slow period began June 29th and continue till August 25th. Let's be peaceful and calm through the out-of-pattern tangles whatever they may be.

Message for Weekend of July 12-13, 2025 Saturday 12: 1 An ornamental handkerchief symbolizes the chivalrous relations between a lady and her knight. There can be refined personal manners with exceptional charm. 2 "A woman of pleasing appearance offers a glass of some fluid to a child." There is kindness and sympathy, a willingness to help the sick and needy, with thorough knowledge of both human nature and the arts or sciences. Gentle benevolence is inspiring and healing. 3 A prima donna singing contributes the results of her skill and talent to all. They live vicariously in her rich excellence. 4 In "A pageant," there is "high magic in the public display of a significance exalting inarticulate ideals." There is "an irresistible heightening of self-significance across the whole face of experience." Moon in Aquarius goes void-of-course at 12:46p PT/ 3:46p ET (Saturday) Sunday 13: 1 In the continuing *pageant," pre-human or primitive power also has its place, symbolized by 2 "An orangutan." "There are always unmobilized resources in self to meet the exigencies of any unique situation." One can rise to any possible occasion through Dexterity, the keyword. 3 "A group of vagrants or gypsies are seated around a cauldron in which food is preparing." Sepharial says this indicates excessive appetites which lead one to "leave his native land and wander over the world, never satisfied with things as they are; leaving many golden opportunities behind." Still, there's a feast in the cauldron. 4 "A woman awaiting a sailboat" has creative poise and a quiet range of perspective. The consummation of idea rather than the pyramiding of facts provides enduring reality. Her ship may come in. The keyword is Equanimity. Moon is void-of-course in Aquarius until entering Pisces at 4:46p PT (Sunday) Cosmic Piper
