At long last the Bright Hermetic Epoch has arrived (until October 18).
You may not see a big difference right away but perhaps will sense that
you are "back in form," "back in shape," or "on the right track."
On the other hand, it might not be until Friday that this will seem
real, for on Wednesday the moon remains in the Via Combusta and on
Thursday is void-of-course all day. Both indicators can mean coping with
uncertainty, although it should be fading away in the underlying trend
toward chipper assurance.
One factor to face, perhaps taking several forms, is the greed and
nastiness in people. This can assume so many forms of which we are only
partially conscious. Some see it in two of the Presidential candidates
and are talking about it (in accord with the current astrological
picture: Pluto the plutocrat opposing Venus while both square Uranus,
the planet ruling Aquarius in which sign were born Ayn Rand, Ronald
Reagan and and Rand's "follower" Paul Ryan). Some think it their right
to plunder others, even to take advantage of a friend's downfall for the
sake of position, power or gain. When you sense this in someone (or
even yourself) you feel revulsion. Cunning avarice is not a pleasant
quality. Those who use it criminally are often behind bars (unless they
are white-collar criminals) or else if they have figured out how to use
such tendencies legally they are eventually despised by those who see
through them.
It might feel like fun to accuse someone, shatter her or his
complacency, get revenge in a way which seems honest and right because,
after all, it is only pointing out that person's crimes or sins. And, of
course, this has its dangers, even if one is actually correct in one's
accusations. How can one do this fairly and decently? (rather than
sadistically) becomes the difficult question.
Greed reaches points of satiety, as does appetite. Overeating appears to
be a world-wide problem, and you may be thinking about it. All the
deadly sins are in fact deadly.
However, some of the tendencies toward feasting are in fact festive and
friendly, so if you share a meal with an individual or group you may be
mitigating the "deadliness" of overconsumption. We need a chance to
enjoy things together now and then, with conviviality. (Then back to
that diet plan . . . )
Mercury's sextile with Jupiter, together with the Bright Epoch, suggest
brilliance in the mind, with an ability to acquire knowledge or wisdom,
even big piles of it. What is your particular approach to the wisdom of
the ages? might be a good question to ask yourself. Doing it
successfully will make you prescient even about practical affairs and
everyday choices.
In connection with paragraphs 3 and 4, there are further indications
that you might be facing (or sleuthing) someone who is taking the easy,
lazy way to a position which looks successful, while actually avoiding
hard work and coasting on the efforts of others, meanwhile being
spiteful toward those who have benefited him or her. We find such
individuals at all income levels. I don't like to think about it any
more than you, but the current setup suggests many of us are
fire-walking such questions, and perhaps we need to do so.
