\Adjustment through Patience with Self and Others/
We have entered the Dark Hermetic Epoch as of today. (If it weren't for computer problems and hassles I would calculate the exact minute but am very rushed.) I have been feeling the symptoms of this even during the past week. On Tuesday I went out to have a little fun and relaxation, and the Dark Epoch seemed to be in force already. Since it is based on the speed and cycle of Mercury, we slip into it gradually. Here are some of the symptoms: People are doing things in a more chaotic way. You will see it even in the way they walk on the street. They stop, think, and turn around. Their bodies move differently, sidewise; they do more window-shopping and go places they have never been before. There are often longer lines because workers are hassled or thinking of other things than work. You get an idea to do something you ordinarily would not do and think, "Oh what the heck, who will it hurt, I will delay doing that other important thing for one day and enjoy myself a little." So things get "out of pattern." You wake up at different hours than usual and go to sleep at unusual hours. You note that other people's patterns are different or unpredictable. It can be a good time for spontaneity, yet we feel we need to struggle to keep a balance and to keep on with ordinary tasks so we don't get way behind. So yes, it is wise to keep to your schedules as much as possible in most cases, while making exceptions here and there for a little creativity and spontaneity. This period lasts until May 11 so it is well to adapt to it.
If you feel isolated to a degree, you are getting your bearings. People are not enemies although they could waste your time or get you off course. You can validate for yourself what will keep you straight, safe and sane. Patterns which have worked for you in the past will continue to work if you work them.
Signor Borelli's symbol for Saturn's position mentions "distant northern countries" and oddly enough I will be traveling north when the Bright Epoch begins (or a little before that in May) and of course northern Japan is the focus of the world's attention. What this might mean to you is for you to decide. Intelligence is sharpened while Mercury opposes Saturn. It seems that that is "of necessity," in other words, to meet challenges you have to think hard and fast. So you get smarter. You are sensing what has exceeded its usefulness in your life, what you have to drop. This could be possessions, or old patterns of some sort which are falling away for something new to turn up. Dangers have to be faced and met, as in military maneuvers. Care is even more essential during a Dark Epoch.
Some may be incisive and aggressive in pursuing what seem opportunities to them, and if you seem in the way you could be the brunt of their anger or else they may fume inwardly about your hindrance to them. When words are spoken in such situations, people are trying to instruct one another and if such instruction is not desired it seems officious or offensive. A retreat into inefficacy could be one reaction, although this would be temporary and there would be a recovery. Sorting out real opportunities from mistakes can be quick if one is alert.
Thereby one avoids weakness, which could manifest if one gave up too easily in the face of difficulties. Disappointments are clearance; they show what you do not have to do or think about so you can get on with something else. Clinging to what is no longer relevant merely delays the adjustment to something relevant.
There are times when a spiritual retreat is exactly what will help, if it is moderated as to length of time so it does not become mere lassitude. It could then facilitate the adjustment mentioned in the previous paragraph.
