The prisoner hammers stones to break them. Why? he wonders.
Through prowess he escapes, scaling a wall. He runs past an oak
Splintered by storms and a man weeping with head in hands.
A stairway leads nowhere. He pulls himself up to take command.


}High Aspirations Attainable{


1  A fixed, solid purpose can soar toward solid accomplishment. Your elevated thoughts and hopes are your allies if you defer to them.

2  Aloneness or lonesomeness can lead to indignation and haranguing. Everybody is wrong and that is why I feel isolated. Asking yourself "On what do I and this person agree?" could be good therapy.

3  Someone with a powerful mission, a world mission, comes into view. He can discover and use whatever means he needs to accomplish high purposes. His evident sincerity wins his way.

4  You see into people; sense what they are about. If they seem despondent you might sense something which could help them. Your patronage of them could lead to patronage for you.

5  Honor may depend on prowess, your use of intelligence to press ahead. You have seen where wrong paths go and so can choose better ones. There is a longing for a status which can be gained only through semi-heroism.

6  In order to avoid drabness and futile efforts, one needs to make smart and sharp selection of what one wants to do, in order to take charge of life. What are your real interests? Laboring at them is not a mistake. A hobby or something which gives you pleasure could be a complement of career activities. Then, when others are helpless, you can command, because you are integrated, that is, the part of you which loves pleasures is united with the part of you which is rigidly self-disciplined, and that is an unbeatable combination.

Sun in Gemini and Moon in Libra-Scorpio
/moon void-of-course in Libra beginning at
/12:36a PT | 3:36a ET | 7:36a UT until she 
enters Scorpio at 1:56p PT | 4:56p ET | 8:56p UT
Moon in the Via Combusta all day
|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week
continues all day, through Thursday until early Friday

He has spilled his breakfast but must mount his steed with his weapon.
He ambles along a rapid stream pondering past glories; then hearkens
To sounds from the enemy's camp. A wandering musician plays and sings
While a listener weeps. He feels ready with comrades to face an attack.

~Taking Command Over Dangers~

As you can see from the above, this is not an easy day. Do not despair, but be cued up for difficulties so you can be on top of them. 

1  There can be hurry, which involves shallowness and restlessness. At times this can be an elevated mood which is quite naive, as if you were a child free of responsibilities and worries. Then you face the fact that you have assignments to carry out and must get on with them.

2  If you feel defeated and abandoned, you can retreat to an inward mental sense of things, an all-awareness, a participation in the joys and victories of others through imagination or vicarious experience. This we do through movies, TV series, novels and so on, or more creatively perhaps in our own night- and day- dreams. It grants relief. Some may say this is illusion, delusion, and escape, but it could be what gives you renewed orientation to life so you can carry on. It expands the significance of things so you want to carry on.

3  Being aware of a great leader or teacher will help. This is someone who is often misunderstood. We admire more easily those who gain wealth or fame, not so easily do we "get" the glory of one who is visionary and lives his ethical or spiritual vision. Nor do we see usually that this is the greatest adventure possible. The purely material adventure peters out and loses its allure; the spiritual adventure goes on from one level of fulfillment to another endlessly.

4  The melancholy of the moon in the Via Combusta close to Saturn can be a depth of penetration into the mysteries of death and life. One can find out what one really totally trusts. Rather than giving up and weeping (although weeping can be an intensely valuable spiritual experience) one finds deeper reserves of faith and loyalty which inspire continued endeavor.

5  There may be misdirected efforts, in your approach or others' approaches, and this can waste time. What are you doing which is so far against the stream of things that it would benefit you to liquidate it? At the same time, the natural and human beauty of the world is available, within your view if you notice it, in the talented ones whose shows, put on for the rest of us, lift us out of the humdrum, if only a street musician.

6  You may feel you are stumbling through life, dropping or losing things, missing opportunities, bungling your schedule. Welcome to the club. Disciplining your powers is perhaps all that can help. I am a firm believer in (rather: knower of) the help of the Supreme Lord, manifest for those who put their faith in Him just as the Psalms declare, yet it is obvious that He also wants us to use our own abilities and skills (granted by Him) and this is a day for that. Fateful things are happening (septiles and tri-septiles among the planets as well as the lunar indications above) and we need to protect ourselves in some way, through prayer first of all and through whatever is revealed as the best use of our powers. There is danger of ignoring one's powers. Taking command requires courage and self-control. This could involve mostly avoiding problems or finessing them quickly in the early part of the day (see above, before the moon enters Scorpio) and then, later, being more progressive with carrying out what seem deeply important activities, though with calm forbearance and wise caution. There could be camaraderie with those who share one's most pressing concerns.
