\Full Generous Moon/

So much is possible now! You might be overwhelmed by a sense of potentiality. Yes, we are in the Dark Hermetic Epoch, but not yet in the Mercury-retrograde period which starts the day before Thanksgiving. It is good to avoid profitless paths which attract your wandering mind; if you succeed in that, you have a chance for consolidating gains and agendas. Your ambitions reach to the skies, and you have a shrewd practical business sense while, today, the moon in Taurus conjoins Jupiter and trines both Mars and Pluto. Further, today and tomorrow are Full Moon days.

Whatever good luck was with you Tuesday is likely to continue through today.

We need to be aware of fanatics or anarchists while Mars opposes Neptune. This has something to do with the protests in Greece, America, and all over the world in regard to difficult employment and financial circumstances. When intelligently directed such protests can be healthy; when merely inspired by malcontent, they go nowhere except to give people jail records. (I do support civil disobedience when inspired by noble ideals. In such a case a jail record could be a credit.)

This aspect also has to do with "the fall of the mighty" when one takes Mars as a strong man and Neptune as the throttle upon him, either imprisonment or loss of status. So we have had the end of Qaddafi during this aspect as well as the resignations of Papandreou in Greece and Berlusconi in Italy. Today I saw a photo of Berlusconi with his eyes raised to heaven as if in prayer. I joined him in prayer for the nations and for the resolution of the world-wide debt problems. It is easy to blame either bankers or profligates, deadbeats or socialists or capitalists. Blaming does not solve the problems. Responsibility, of course, is needed on all sides; but who teaches real responsibility except the prophets and Avatars? Responsibility based only upon fear of consequences is not the sustaining ideal.

Such ideals are another side of Mars opposed to Neptune. It pushes us toward them. Spiritual action is real, and has as a component, sometimes, material renunciation.

Such trends may seem contrary to another which is prominent, the success and prosperity pointed out in the first two paragraphs. Yet they are being combined on the world stage and in individual lives. There is warmth and kindness, with Jupiter well-aspected in Taurus, a desire to share in wise ways.

The Full Moon will be exact Thursday afternoon and is now in full evidence, as a heightening of consciousness, a wide full comprehensive view of things, fulsome memories, flavorful reminiscences, and sharply successful strategies. May you be a beneficiary of this largesse.
