After chopping wood for the homestead he curbs his horse's mouth

And gallops. Lo! A purple robe and casket of jewels cannot be his
Without a fight. He wins and has much more than he needs. Through

The wind he hurries, a well-proportioned man with fine dark eyes.

It is wonderful to feel that one knows what one's assignment is and and can contend successfully against obsctacles. A simple and honest approach is invigorating. You have plenty to work with, a wealth of ideas and materials.

You reason things out well even though there are strong passions. It is good to find the meaning behind things rather than fret over them; thereby you can prevent misunderstandings and outrages.

Sometimes you are amused by those who try to be amusing, and sometimes you find them absurd. If they go off on a tangent it is not really funny. You want an anchorage in something stronger than harsh and fairly shallow opinion. Trusting humanity requires self-government.

A sister or someone sisterly is in her fortified castle. Shallow thinking and turbulence can lead on to greater discoveries in time. All are finding there is more to life than they had thought. This can go very deep, as renewal through fresh meaning.

So much is possible that some will go too far in independence, which could become tyrannous (sun conjunct Mars in Aries). Dominion is wonderful. Happy the one who knows who he is and what he is doing. A contest or fight is not a guarantee of what one seeks but a test. One can be "up for it." One might lasso or gain control of someone who becomes docile.

Some feel battered by life and abandoned. What is left? There can be great sadness. That might be better than a pugnacious tendency with needless battles, one trying to impose his government on another. The remedy can be found. A simple conversation could clarify things so that peace returns.

When there is vexation or confusion, it is possible to regain poise by listening for higher harmonies, the music of the spheres and angelic choirs. That can lead in turn to a renewed focus in the craftsmanship which is one's own. 

Cutting out one's place in life through labor is deeply satisfying. You have been given what you need to do this. It brings one's conscious and subconscious natures together. The attempt itself is a form of felicity.

Sun in Aries and Moon in Gemini

Armed and prepared he gazes at the crescent moon. Some have

Abandoned him. His gifts overawed them. Other gifts he spilled.

He meets a man of wisdom whose conversation leads to laughter,

A relief. With armor stashed away, he labors near the duck pond.

As suggested in Wednesday's forecast, yesterday, today, and Monday-Tuesday could be a time of forward progress in a project trying to get its bearings, its "legs."

You have what you need to proceed; you are equipped. There is some danger you could be isolated in your approach, or make someone feel you ought to be on your own because of your vaunted independence which was found offensive. This can be an Aries fault (sun conjoined to Mars in that sign). Getting people to trust you is important. That could include a woman or girl whose freshness is inspiring.

You think intensively about certain things, and know you are right about them, but may find it hard to use that knowledge practically. Someone reverential and devoted, priestly, a student of the Mysteries, might help. He may have a designated rulership over certain matters.

Someone sarcastic is trying to overcome naive illusions by his humor. He develops mentality and perception through comedy and may aid others in the process. Sometimes laughter evokes astral companions. 

An active, restless temperament is suited to discovery, for it is willing to try something new and see if it works. Both younger and older individuals are capable of this. If a fresh insight is apt and adroit, it will pan out. The Scriptures say, "Let us magnify the Lord." To perceive something new which is true and good is to "magnify the Lord," that is, to become aware of something in His consciousness which expands one's own. Yet the devotional aspect of the adjurement is perhaps even more important. How can the Lord enter the consciousness of one who cuts off all consciousness of Him? To "magnify the Lord" is to magnify our apprehension of Him, which obviously requires attention.

It is well to beware of losing or spilling something which has been bequeathed to you. You rise upward by being with those who can lift you upward. That might include virginal women whose affection is united with good judgment.

Adversity can often be relieved by simple, straightforward conversation which clarifies things. "What a relief!" Yet there are labors or efforts you know you need to make which are hard. Camaraderie in the spirit makes them easier. You are doing this for "someone," and such a "someone" is with you in spirit as you work.

Foresight is wonderful; it reveals unsuspected possibilities. Yet trying to do too much all at once, and therefore getting confused, is a mistake. Simply being competent, with already accepted familiar tasks, will make you reliable and at the same time self-reliant so that life is easier.

I feel that some planetary links now are bringing out parenthood, especially fatherhood since we are still in the Aries segment of the zodiac (but not much longer). There are mysteries connected with fathers. Is it that no one understands them, or that they never understand their offspring? Often the link between father and child is wordless and inexplicable. Are not conception and birth, the transmission of the genetic code, themselves miracles beyond our comprehension?

Whatever this may mean, at present you yourself, independently, have what you need to carry on into a relatively new phase of your life, at the beginning of a Bright Hermetic Epoch and a New Moon only a few days old. You are, perhaps, having learned what you could from your biological father, becoming your own parent big-time (even if he is sometimes with you invisibly).
