The Magi
The "wise men" or Magi who visited the hotel and manger where the Saviour was born (I accept this as fact rather than myth) were astrologers. So it is said in the best English translation ever of the Bible, the New English Bible (Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, 1970): "Jesus was born at Bethlehem in Judaea during the reign of Herod. After his birth astrologers from the east arrived in Jerusalem, asking, 'Where is the child who is born to be king of the Jews? We observed the rising of his star, and we have come to pay him homage.'" (Matthew 2: 1-3) The wise men, Magi, astrologers, set out toward Bethlehem. "Entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and bowed to the ground in homage to him; then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh."
Cosmic Piper can offer the Christ child, and any who read these reports, no more than what he has: a slim understanding of some aspects of astrology.
I would guess that this week you have done some concentrated and successful work along the lines of your major ambitions and hopes. That is all to the good, and whatever you have achieved, no matter how small, is a foundation for the future and can be developed in a way which is convincing to you from now through at least February 26.
Friday's ratings so far as I can discern them:
Social life, friendship, enjoyment, personal relationships: C
Work, projects, concentration on achievement: A
Negotiations, agreements, business, transactions, purchases: B
Sheer relaxation, liberating self-exploration: E
Spiritual seeking, prayer, idealistic edification, meditation, positive thinking: A always
E is effete, D is desperate, C is cool, B is better, A is awesome.
