}Curiouser and More Thrilling{


Many of yesterday's trends continue. Mercury turns direct at 6:15a PT | 9:15a ET | 1:15p UT, but before you do a dance about that consider that Mercury still moves slowly and the Dark Hermetic Epoch continues until October 14. Things will be easier, however, and perhaps noticeably so as the days advance.

Today is Prime Time all day, defined as (a) not during the |retreat| third of the week, (b) the moon not void of course, and (c) the moon not in the Via Combusta. Of course some Prime Times are better than others.

Let's see what the moon's conjunction with Jupiter means. It is visible in the evening sky, just after sunset; I saw it Monday evening and it was beautiful. The two will be even closer tonight, the moon separating slightly from Jupiter by the time they are visible. The center of this period will be 11a-6p PT | 2p-9p ET | 6p-1a(W) UT. (It is a coincidence that these are the same hours as the moon's trine with the sun yesterday.) The conjunction is not always as smooth as a sextile or trine so there may be differences or disagreements brewing or you may feel concerned and serious rather than totally free-flowing. Still it could be a good time to work out opportunities you have become aware of.

Mars trine Uranus is an interesting and helpful aspect, but like all trines it can lead to laziness, basking in easy benefits rather than working to pyramid them. This is the first day Venus and Mars are in a sextile by a ten-degree orb (lasting through October 25) so you may be dreaming of erotic conquests and (pardon my prudery) this could result in goofing off and losing other possibilities.

Such entanglements of an erotic sort may be complex beyond what you had thought, but need not lead to disaster if you are alert to angelic guidance which shows you what is proper, or of the propriety of the moment, and what is not.

Not so much the artificial and trivial, except as temporary amusements and signposts, but the more profound and mystical aspects of affection and interaction are what will yield lasting satisfaction.

There is astute financial guidance available to those receptive to it. Laws of karma (one meaning of which is "work") largely govern personal finances so one cannot get a free ride unless one has earned it and continues to earn it one way or another. G*d is not a slavemaster but a reasonable and equitable employer, as well as a merciful one.

There is shrewdness in dealing with money while Mars and Mercury are in a sextile and Mercury regains his poise (as of today). You might be able to discern how to protect your savings and at the same time expand them. You do not have to rush toward prosperity; it will amble toward you if your attitude is right or righteous. Some important final decisions could mature later in October.

Someone, or life itself, is inviting you to a marriage feast of sorts. What this means could be remote, symbolic, and intangible, yet it permeates the atmosphere and fosters joie de vivre.
