~Inevitably Into the Socially Spiritual~

For those of you unacquainted with the ins and outs of the Mercury Retrograde period, which begins Wednesday afternoon (I will give the exact time later in this report), let me recount a few things which happened to me over the past few days. They seem trivial but are clues to what you may be seeing around you in your life and others': (These are happening before the official retrograde period because the Dark Hermetic Epoch of which I have been telling you for ten days or more begins before and extends after the retrograde period by a couple of weeks. The Retrograde period ends April 23; the Dark Epoch May 11):

1. The back of the chair I use to write these reports, in a common room, started falling off a few days ago; usually when I come in, I put the back of the chair on and the next time I come in it is off again.

2. The phone in the room, used by many, stopped working yesterday.

3. Today I went to tell the person in charge about the phone. He was absorbed deeply in his computer. I said "Looks like you're deeply absorbed." He said "Yes" and went back to his invisible task. I stood there five minutes waiting. Then he looked up and said, "Oh, did you want to talk to me?" I was clearly visible the whole time.

4. A friend wanted to set up an online account and I told her I would do it for her. Then when I tried it turned out she had an old account. So I had to have the old password sent to her. It all seemed a rather pointless waste of time.

5. In securing funds to pay bills, I was told that rather than having funds put into my account by ACH I would have to wait for a check sent by snail mail. So I had to inform a creditor that I might be late this month. I had no idea I would have to wait for a check and then deposit it, all time-consuming.

These are just a few examples; but when they pile up you can see how they slow things down. Meanwhile some important tasks I need to do have been in limbo. Some of that is my own fault; because also at these times you may find you take more sleep, rest or naps.

6. On the positive side, I had amazing and beautiful dreams this morning, in Technicolor and with superb musical accompaniment. You may find that your dream life becomes vivid during the retrograde period or whole Dark Epoch. It can be wonderful, as can unexpected psychic phenomena.

7. On the frustrating international side, we hear contradictory and changeable reports about what is happening with nuclear levels in Japan and today we hear that radiation levels in the U. S. have increased. Nobody seems to know what is really happening or able to monitor it exactly, and the reactor problem has still not been solved.

8. On the day before Mercury turns retrograde NATO is taking over the LIbya operation. Changes of this sort, confusing changes, happen at these times; not that NATO can't handle it but I would expect the transition to be long and complicated.

I hope the preceding will help you to cope with the annoying delays you are likely to encounter.

The Mercury Retrograde phase, core of the Dark Hermetic Epoch, begins today at 1:49p PT | 4:49p ET | 8:49p UT and lasts until April 23.

Hey guys, never doubt the basics of astrology, no matter how I might stumble in interpreting the daily aspects. Here is an amazing confirmation of the planetary motions: On Monday I heard that new information in Japan showed that Plutonium had been released and measured and that it was an additional hazard. What was going on in the sky? The sun at 7 Aries was exactly square Pluto at 7 Capricorn. As I have already mentioned, I and most occultists believe that human language is not arbitrary, so the fact that this dangerous man-made element is named after Pluto means that it is "ruled" by the planet Pluto in astrological nomenclature. And here is an amazing confirmation of that fact. Pluto is at point focus of a T square involving Saturn on one side and Jupiter and the sun on the other, and on the very day the Plutonium release was discovered and confirmed, the square with the sun was exact. Just one more fact for skeptics to chew on---although they never chew on such facts but spit them out before they digest them. Which is why skepticism is a path of determined ignorance which does not nourish the brain.

One wonders always, in warfare or any disaster, why some are saved and others lost. We do not have the mind of G*d in those particulars, at least not most of us. Today you may consider yourself lucky to be a survivor. The correct word, however, is not lucky but "blessed." Interpreting the Divine Will for humanity is hardly an easy task: preachers and prophets have their hands full. That consciousness which can perceive the details of the heavens and the earth in one view and see their relations has to be a divine consciousness if it is valid. You might have glimpses of that.

Everyone seems to suspect treachery on one hand or another; even in the Libya situation some feel that NATO and the U.S. are wrong to intervene or have less than disinterested motives. This is partly a symptom of Jupiter opposed to Saturn. It could cause people to suspect even their best friends. It cuts deep into the realm of motives, so that we start to wonder about our own motives---which is a good thing, spiritually speaking. Being diligent at what seem your most basic tasks is a cure for much confusion. If you think about death today, you might consider that ordinary responsibility might be the best preparation for any future in this world or the next.

Being "at sea" like a lonely sailor may be depressing yet exhilarating when it inspires you to set your sails with optimism. You get validating clues from everywhere. Methods you have already used are likely to be valuable and effective still.

People enjoy being with one another in surprising ways, delighting in accord which springs up. The moon's conjunction with Venus late in the evening, both sextile Pluto, bodes well for mystical uplift whether with others or alone. Life is social whether outwardly or inwardly in memory and envisionment. Contact with people is enlivening; if not, it can become so at a deeper spiritual level. Darkness precedes the light; outer darkness awakens internal brightness.
