*Honor and Waiting Precede Fulfillment*

We discussed the Dark Hermetic Epoch quite fully in Friday's report. These periods are hard to understand so I always feel I can add more. You might add this to your DHE dossier: These periods (this one to August 3) are good for research. What "research" means depends on your situation. If you're a thinker, teacher, writer, researcher, it means literally research. If your occupation is less study-oriented, you may ponder the complexities of your daily schedule, your way of doing things in your job whatever it is, how to win the lottery (not recommended!), the plots of soap operas, your favorite team's statistics, or whatever catches your interest. Things tend to get very interesting, and more and more complex. So you may have to use a hatchet to untie some Gordian knot rather than spend endless hours twisting at it. Or, just leave it for a while for your subconscious mind to work on, which tends to be very active during these times (corresponding to nightly sleep and dreams). You may wake in the morning with memories of difficult complex dreams. This is an excellent time for dream-penetration, dream-remembrance and dream-interpretation or analysis. It is good for all the "re" activities such as retrospection, review, and most importantly perhaps regeneration rather than relapse. Although it's not an easy time, the benefits can be enormous the more consciously one approaches it. While engaged in all this interior activity, as pointed out in Friday's report, outward affairs and business may seem hindered or delayed. It's an exercise in knowing when to hold, when to fold, and when to put things on hold. 

Sunday:

1 Stage: People are worried about losing someone. Sudden events could be forbidding. Yet one can arrive at a detachment which perceives all occurrences as a panorama unfolding. Life is interesting.

2 Issue: Summer is the season of trees and birds. You are a tree sustaining birds (children, family, strangers) who appreciate your shelter. You can be reliable and comfortable. Whether or not you do gardening you appreciate the natural growing world.

3 Concern: Many will feel acquisitive, concerned about possible loss, holding on desperately to what they have. This is reasonable but could become wanton and destructive if it became an all-consuming obsession.

4 Ado: Food can be obsessive: what to eat, how much, and where. A restaurant or its manager becomes interesting. You might eat as a comfort to protect yourself psychologically from thinking about how you have not risen to heights you thought you could attain during your well-intentioned, generous youth.

5 Crisis: Some seem indolent, perhaps beggars. You could be hard on them or yourself if you feel you are not handling money well. They in turn may see you as a hoarder. A more gregarious and sharing participation in life could make everything better.

6 Resolution: Seclusion could be good first, as a way of preparing yourself for participating in things with stronger morale. When you have done secluded work which improves self-respect, you feel worthy of presenting your personality and trophies socially.

7 Essence: You plan and scheme. You sense that you could get what you want with sufficient contemplation of all arenas and all possibilities. You can be patient and suave, abiding rejection because you sense this is not permanent. The square between Venus and Saturn requires utmost self-restraint and diplomacy. Your wish for cooperation is not pointless though it require perseverant waiting.

Sun in Cancer, Expansion; Moon in Aries, Hope->Taurus, Peace; Fortuna in 10, Honor

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week continues all day

\From Despair to Refreshed Orientation/

1 Stage: Aloneness can be hard. Others feel alone also. So the prevailing mood is "Don't bother me." There can be sudden transformations of energy, storms of excitement or apprehension. Being steady with work is essential no matter how hard.

2 Issue: Delays may amount to complete halts on sandbanks. Obstructions give you an opportunity to calm down and keep your faith guarded so you can persist with the little things, daily tasks, which keep your world in bloom.

3 Concern: When all seems lost, some give up. Others decide deep within to "never say die" and even if a day seems lost recover completely. A third possibility is the worst: Wanting to take the rest of the world down with you. Let's not.

4 Ado: Tears are natural at certain stages, when one is suffering a trial of soul. The tears are the soul asserting itself through the glands and emotions and are cleansing. You may ponder things closely in a place where food is served.

5 Crisis: Just getting by may seem to be enough. Others just want to get by, and might see you as an obstacle, no matter how unfairly. You might ignore your responsibilities witlessly; or, recover poise through freedom from immediate involvements. 

6 Resolution: You can enter into fresh experiences. This could aid rather than frustrate your accomplishments and your security, because it gives renewed perspective and hope. Learning through contrasts between the young and the mature will uplift you. The traditional and the modern or post-modern need each other.

7 Essence: A contemplative self-orientation can put your world in order within your mind at least potentially, and that gives you strength and prowess whether it is exactly correct or not. The contests of life are not to be dreaded. You need an overview as a basis for action, and then you will be courageous, asserting yourself without fear.

~Summoned Courage Heightens Enjoyment~

The over-all conditions remain remain largely conditioned by the Dark Hermetic Epoch (until August 3). We have this nearly half the time so we have to learn how to live within it. I try to give clues. For one thing, many people want to "throw in the towel." Things seem so hard, with delays and backtracking and uncertainty and confusion, that it seems pointless to go on, and so I believe that if statisticians would get on the astrological ball they would find many more suicides during these periods. So, point of advice #1: Don't even think about it! #2, many people give up their jobs, mates, projects, at these times. It can be a time of resignation and during the coming weeks you will probably read about prominent people resigning or retiring. Divorcing also, most likely. I can't say "Don't even think about it" because such things sometimes happen but I would say Think about it very very carefully, with an understanding that what seems impossible now may become possible after August 3. From here to then does not have to be an impossible ordeal but can be a time of slowly figuring things out one step at a time, letting yourself approach everything freshly or more loosely rather than rigidly. Rigidity of outlook and procedure is what could defeat you at these times. 

The second difficult overall condition is Venus square Saturn, which lasts by a ten-degree orb until July 9. We have lived through this many times but it is always a challenge to one's self-respect as well as respect for others, especially those closest. And yet it deepens whatever real connections one has (family, partner, others) by bringing out their weaknesses and hard parts so one has to deal with them and rise beyond them. It is not a time for giving up on love but for being very careful and considerate toward the loved one. Understanding that they, and everyone, are also suffering from these feelings will certainly help to develop tolerance, drastically needed at these times. They seem remote because their love or respect for themselves is under pressure. Therefore they may be "short" with you or anyone.

I hope you will remember or put on your wall or calendar the previous two paragraphs because I can't repeat all that every day.

For Friday:

1  In accord with the above, there could be anger or peculiar events arising from upset. Feelings can be explosive (moon square Mars). However, there is sensitivity to the invisible, and unless the "invisible entities" one connects with (probably unconsciously) are malicious, they could ease the pressures. It is well to be sure they are angelic rather than demonic.

2  Whether to give oneself up to a strong attachment or personal passion is one's own choice. Such passionate attractions could arise as a reaction to the Venus-Saturn problem outlined above, that is, as an escape. Husband or wife is not congenial but this stranger . . . A strong sense of timing could help. We tend to drift during the Dark Epochs (plus the moon goes void-of-course later today) and one could drift into the unseemly. Remembering something about your schedule could keep you straight. 

3  Up to the void-of-course time, you may have astute judgment, if you use it with long-term perspective and hope (moon trine Mercury). You see past anarchic or destructive impulses in yourself or others to what makes sense as long-term purpose.

4  There is more than one dimension to examine when considering any move. A childlike approach could help because it removes the curse of too many complex considerations and strategies, back to the simplicity of devotion to whomever or whatever is most important to you. The fullness of summer, fruits expanding, is accompanied this year by the entrance of Jupiter also into the summer sign, Cancer, last Wednesday, continuing for almost exactly a year (to July 16, 2014). Jupiter is "exalted" in Cancer. The coming year could see many finding the home of their dreams, or improving their current one, establishing a family or community basis.

5  If feeling ill-at-ease or imagining yourself ill, it might be well to force recovery, and proceed to some social time or enjoyment, to represent yourself as it were at some function or location or in some group whether old or new. You link your courage with the courage of others.

6  Veering from hope to depression and back, you could wander aimlessly. You let whatever is happening around you determine your course and your feelings. Yet you can be more independent within yourself if linked with strong purpose. You conceal partially what you are about, so as not to upset anyone, and adjust yourself to interesting and enjoyable occasions.

*Remaining Poised to Influence Events Positively*

The first two paragraphs of Friday's report remain pertinent for quite a while to come.

1  Things may pick up speed. You want to be everywhere at once. The set of your mind determines where you will be, and this keeps changing, so you gain new and newer experience to determine the latest set of your mind, and . . . 

2  Nevertheless you feel content at some level, or can do so when you calm down and trust the beauty and goodness around you. You sense the causes behind things (material and efficient cause are the "how," formal and final cause the "why") and so can sense how to settle yourself within everything for the greatest peace of mind.

3  "Freedom" can sometimes be an excuse for futile bluster and implicit destructiveness. You can calm yourself, and then realize you have a role as a supervisor in some ways. A supervisor is "superior" either in capacity or convenient position within a working hierarchy, so he or she is honored. Yet you could offend "subordinates" and then be the object of rancor. So it is well to take account of all factors fairly.

4  Your singular mode of insight determines your relation to family, children, mate, and those to whom you feel attachment or sympathy. If you reach far enough beyond the ordinary, you know how to make "the Kingdom of Heaven" real in your consciousness and therefore for others.

5  Private rights and property rights seem unreal to those who feel cheated. There is a way to demonstrate against injustice while representing something honorable and worthy. You may change the way you present yourself to the community, even your appearance, in order to further what seems right.

6  You may turn around and reverse your position on some matters. This may make some think you are uncertain or unreliable. Really, you are trying to adapt yourself to the situation to be one step ahead of whatever develops. This you can do if you remain calm, examining all that happens through an expanded field of insight.

}Wisely Adaptable{

While I write the whereabouts and destiny of Edward Snowden remain a hot topic. As well they ought to be. The following from Alex Berenson in the New York Times sums up some facets of the case brilliantly (and tragically):  http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/25/opinion/snowden-through-the-eyes-of-a-spy-novelist.html?hp  Berenson thinks that the White House, NSA, and CIA have turned the idealistic Mr. Snowden into a traitor by refusing to deal with him directly as a human being and offering him some assurance of a fair trial. He repeats the common perception that the four laptops Snowden reputedly has contain secrets the Chinese and Russians would love, and suggests that Snowden was almost forced into betraying these secrets by circumstances and a fumbling U. S. government.

A thought comes to me: What if Snowden, being after all a savvy individual, somehow disposed of those "precious hard drives" before leaving Hong Kong, or even before the Chinese could have gotten their hands on them? Through someone in Wikileaks who now has them in a secret location unknown even to Snowden? Yes, there are all the elements of a spy-suspense novel here. 

Going along with the question "Where is Snowden?" is inevitably the question "Where am I?" Physically, you know where you are; temporally, I would say you are in the early phase of a Dark Hermetic Epoch while Venus is moving toward a square with Saturn. This is not an easy place to be. At the mental level, it's a matter of questioning everything and finding all the answers inadequate (poor Edward); at the emotional level, questioning loyalties, lovers, friends, family, and finding none of them what one wishes they would be. Then, on top of that, wondering perhaps what might be wrong with oneself. We have been in such spots before. But let us look at Wednesday:

1  Giving out what you have to give involves assumptions about what is worth giving. This is unique, and it may be what you can give because of some other deficiency in you which has turned you in an unusual direction, making you able to perform a task which benefits people.

2  You could abandon yourself to displays of gaudy self-primping or ostentation. This could be good-hearted even if extravagant. You have a sense of timing--schedule rules!--so you will want to be at the right place at the right time, putting glamor on a feasible agenda which enhances it.

3  Not everything seems right; some decidedly wrong; so you feel you must be an avenger. This could look like malice to someone who does not grasp your motivation. Be careful. There could be rashness and harassment. You see some idols fall, and want to blow others out of your way.

4  Yet there is goodness, there is harmony and sympathy, and a desire for a family or family-like life. You could link with an old friend on reserve or someone you haven't seen for a while. At the same time, a sense of frontier impels you toward fresh scenes in which to be re-established.

5  Your inheritance is with you, what you have acquired by birth, your nationality and ancestry. You may transmit the impression of this to those who associate with you. Some experiences are indestructible. They support you in consciousness. Your background's advantages are available.

6  Out of remorse comes fresh vision (re-vision) and hence internal liberty. You could be wilful and daring, yet want to see a step ahead and be for others whatever will make your path free of uneasiness. You conceal part of what you are. Not everything can be foreseen; so adaptability is a key.

Thursday 26 June 2013

Sun in Cancer, Expansion; Moon in Pisces, Love; Fortuna in 9, Understanding

~Sympathetic yet Bold Possibilities~

The keyword "love" for Pisces has to do only with the "ideal" expression of the sign. I blazon those "ideal" keywords for the moon's position within the signs; the more general keyword for the sun's position (taken from Marc Edmund Jones). "Love" now is a little sub rosa, difficult, "tough love" because of the increasing square of Venus with Saturn. It often puts one together with people one does not "like" on the surface even though one tries to love them. This can be strangers, family or old friends. One's "liking" has been there in the past, perhaps, but is currently diminished because one is aware more of their faults or whatever in them is annoying. So for there to be love there has to be either love without liking (not easy) or a rekindling of liking along with love if that is possible.

1  The super-normal is present or available if one can tune to it. Luna joining Neptune in Pisces forms with him a grand trine with Saturn, Sol and Jupiter. This is not a frequent occurrence. One has transcendental powers of comprehension, brilliant gifts, seership, superior perspective. 

2  One might run into bullies. They are eager for what they see as progress for themselves.They think they have a perfect sense of timing and of what others ought to be doing and try to enforce their will through militant measures, compulsion, or cruelty. Your own sense of timing could warn you when to get away from them.

3  Chemistry comes up with the moon and Neptune together in Pisces. Unfortunately, as in chemical warfare, pesticides, or bioengineering, chemistry can be used wantonly for desecration. You might test out absorbing ideas within some other field of science or study. Alchemy is the chemistry of the soul's undercurrents.

4  You can overcome obstacles and procure what you need through harmonious, sympathetic action. Family is in more than one place. You connect with it, or a substitute family, from a distance. 

5  You can go where you wish to go, and get supplies you want, plus entertainment, or whatever you would enjoy in a restaurant or club. There is something irresistible about people you meet or one young and attractive who throws away inhibitions. Why not scorn disillusionment? 

6  There is inherent dignity in yourself and your activities. You are self-reliant and controlled. So you have influence on anyone you choose, and this is chivalrous if kindly rather than pompous. You might also adapt yourself to one who fits the previous description, so as to bring about almost opposite eventualities among possibles.

Cosmic Piper and Edward Snowden

Cosmic Piper's forecasts are for everyone in the world. He has arranged them according to universal time scales which have shown themselves to work in the past in India as well as in the U. S., and if they work in those two places they work everywhere. 

It follows that the forecasts are for Edward Snowden as much as for anyone. Consider: the forecast for Monday 24 June begins: 

\Impossible Meetings Faced with Calm Assurance/

Do I have to comment on how appropriate this probably is for Snowden? First of all, some meetings, namely with Ecuadorians, seemed to turn out "impossible" literally at least on Monday. (Unless he has already gotten to Ecuador somehow and we don't know.) Other "meetings" e.g. with Russian officials might be "impossible" in the sense of hopelessly complicated and going nowhere. 

People are feeling some insecurity in love life with the square of Venus and Saturn beginning . . 

Don't know about Snowden's love life, but how many think it is currently satisfying? Oh, those call girls the SVR (once KGB) sent up to his room in Moscow?

 . . . poisoning from food or alcohol if one is not careful. Still you will want to eat out and this could be good psychologically. A fair studious person pleases.

We know how those Russians like to poison people. Maybe even the call girls. Yes Snowden needs an uplifting meal. The fair studious person could be one of the pro bono lawyers working with him (from Wikileaks and elsewhere).

Freedom can become wantonness, yet you become what you must.

The accusers of Snowden think that freedom is wantonness and that he is wanton for wanting freedom for his fellow citizens and himself. Wanton! Snowden has become what he must, a symbol of checked freedom trying to overcome tyranny.

"Let me enjoy today for who knows of tomorrow?" could be the motto. Maybe a place near water would please. 

Ecuador is bounded closely by the ocean on the West and rivers on the East. Iceland is an island. 

You display sympathy and geniality, yet within you a rocky self-respect proclaims "Don't you dare mess with me." 

Isn't that why we like him? 

When does persuasion become craftiness and intrigue?

All the time, when government is the persuader, says Snowden. Whenever a citizen defies the government, says the government. 

You have reserves of innocence which can protect from this. You know the role you want to play in normal living. This keeps you out of trouble. Whatever news you receive has large implications, perhaps international.

A role in normal living, like Snowden's old job, would have kept him out of trouble. What he expects to do now I do not know. It "keeping him out of trouble" is a long shot but perhaps he can plan for that. As for the "international implications in the news," no comment necessary.

You can connect with fellow enthusiasts along some interesting line of difference from the ordinary culture.

Let's hope Snowden is having a little fun here and there in conversation or camaraderie. What culture is "ordinary" in his present situation? It is all "different." 

The poverty of the commonplace awakens you to the unusual. This intensifies toward turmoil or crisis, but that awakens you to be supreme above the storm. 

Snowden decided that "the commonplace"--working for agencies of the U. S. government who were spying on their fellow citizens--was a poverty. This "intensified toward turmoil or crisis" pretty obviously. Let us hope that it has "awakened" him "to be supreme above the storm."  Many of us wish that for him.

Someone you like is docile toward you, willing to be led, taught, even used. Yet this has its limits. The service you receive is charming. If you are radiant, maintaining the assurance of youth, even while doing tasks you must do, you will not be dismayed by delays and separations.

Snowden is blessed with lawyers from Wikileaks and I believe elsewhere trying to help him find a safe haven. It seems that President Rafael Correa, the head of Ecuador, is "willing to be led, taught, even used" by Snowden and his lawyers. "Yet this has its limits" pretty obviously and nobody knows yet if Ecuador would protect him in asylum. The "assurance of youth" makes sense, for Snowden just turned 30 a few days ago. Let us hope he is not being hopelessly "dismayed by delays and separations" although delay and separation seems to be the name of the game for him. But then, we don't know where he is, do we?

But you know where to find Cosmic Piper every day. I hope Snowden does too. He may need me.

\Impossible Meetings Faced with Calm Assurance/

1  People are feeling some insecurity in love life with the square of Venus and Saturn beginning (a nine-degree applying orb today). One result is that some look for comfort in liquor or gambling. This exploring restlessness seeks something beyond the drab or commonplace.

2  Another escape is food, and many will dine sumptuously. Excess has a price. It could even be an extreme price such as poisoning from food or alcohol if one is not careful. Still you will want to eat out and this could be good psychologically. A fair studious person pleases.

3  Freedom can become wantonness, yet you become what you must. "Let me enjoy today for who knows of tomorrow?" could be the motto. Maybe a place near water would please. You display sympathy and geniality, yet within you a rocky self-respect proclaims "Don't you dare mess with me." 

4  When does persuasion become craftiness and intrigue? You have reserves of innocence which can protect from this. You know the role you want to play in normal living. This keeps you out of trouble. Whatever news you receive has large implications, perhaps international.

}Popularity Questionable, Harmony Secure{

1  People feel they are significant and do not have to prove it. This could be self-obsession. They feel inspired and so ought to be popular. If the popularity doesn't last, there is a scuffle to regain it, but this goes nowhere. Their inspiration rather than popularity has to be what satisfies them.

2  Emotional weakness results in betrayal, because one has placed one's trust in a place where it won't be supported. It feels that one has been executed by the loved one. Really it is a matter of needing to find a more spiritual, poised, less expectant way of relating to this or any lover.

3  What fun to take out one's misgivings and bitterness on the world, nature, strangers! Is it really? Or is that the wind which reaps the whirlwind? It would not be wise to push one's way forward into an unsupportive hierarchy. Self-restraint and discretion would protect you.

4  Those who deceive in order to conquer may have partially good motives. They feel innocent. They want some role in life which is normal and allows them full participation. But they go after it in a way which is covetous and awakens suspicion, probably rightfully.

5  You find yourself compatible with some who seem to be of a different cultural background. It takes temerity to bridge the gap. There can also be easier sharing within a special language or shop-talk shared with fellow devotees. The in-circle and the outer alien circle find ways to interact. 

6  There is much uplifting, sympathetic harmony within nature and humanity, embracing you at home or in travels regardless of weather. This releases beauty and happiness within you. People are basically charming because they were once children. So the Lord of all became a child.

Saturday 22 June 2013

Sun in Cancer, Expansion; Moon in Sagittarius, Sagacity; Fortuna in 6, Adjustment

Full Moon of Cancer-Capricorn becomes exact Sunday at 4:33a PT | 7:33a ET | 11:33a UT

 1  Trying multiple things seems essential though the result remain uncertain. The Full Moon says, Be something you hadn't expected to be by the use of your gifts.

2  Some are selfish, jealous, and indolent. Most do not realize that that is what they are. They hide behind a false position. 

3  Under the quincunx and now tri-septile between Mars and Pluto we have had disturbing revelations about government snooping, violence in many places including Syria, and a fall in the stock market. At a personal level it could be concern about neighbors, costs, and some personal obsession perhaps of a sexual nature. Any or all of these could make you indignant. How do you participate in the broader community?

4  The grand trine among the sun, Saturn and Neptune is helpful. In water signs, it gives subconscious and sometimes conscious psychic interconnection with those from the past and with strangers. Sometimes you wonder if this is taking you backward or forward. The past has a lure. It also has a value if we face it in the right way. 

5  Something is working out in connection with unwarranted executions and imprisonments. Let us hope the public, the courts and law enforcement are all realizing how absurd and counter-productive harsh sentences are. Detention in order to protect the public of course is necessary in some cases. But frame-ups, set-ups, cruelty and execution are so wrong that the world's karma cannot be relieved until such injustices are eliminated.

6  Self-reliant pioneering is possible in some areas of your life. You possess something you can utilize in the public domain and receive credit for it, either pay or recognition. The independence required makes you taciturn and aloof. Though desiring public success, you are willing to go it alone for a long time.

\Uneasy Psychological Adventure/

1  Choosing among alternatives is important, and you will be good at it even if it means dropping things or people when that is better. You can keep secrets, and serve under high munificent authority.

2  Some will feel spoiled, injured or disgraced by peculiar affairs which have no easy resolution. Fate or karma is working out inexorably. Unhappy separation could be part of it.

3  Personal obsessions during a Dark Hermetic Epoch can be compelling. You are willing to live out some of them totally within your mind and inner imagination. Others you ought to share somehow, even if with someone who seems uncongenial.

4  You may feel relaxed with someone who interests you, even though you sense danger in the relationship. Extravagant waste and rashness are wanton. Yet the inner spirit of the Other can be sensed in the rays of the continuing Full Moon.

5  Intrigue and craftiness can be felt in others and yourself. It is the result of human beings trying for millennia to work against one another in the absence of trust. Yet there is charm, so with wariness one can appreciate the show or the seduction.

6  Eccentric individuals seem always to be falling from their position in the sky. The poetic reality within them is not understood by anyone, although if you tried you might be appreciated as a companion who brings them soft repose.

~Impressive Personality~

The word "offspring" as a keyword for the 5th house (and Fortuna, or Part of Fortune therein) is taken from Marc Edmund Jones, whose skill with language for astrological patterns was nonpareil. It does not just mean one's own children but others' children  young people in general, pets, play, youthful activities with no responsibility in them, and entertainment. It can also mean the "offspring" of one's feelings and thoughts as in one's creations if one is a musician, artist or writer, or one's personality expressions. Today we should be feeling freer about such matters because of the ease-up shown by other lunar indications above. The moon going void-of-course could mean even more relaxation as long as things don't get too chaotic.

1  Indolence is possible, making it necessary to work harder in the future to catch up. Common skills and background you share with someone can clarify your agenda.

2  Someone proud and superficial may annoy you, even if a would-be friend. You have to decide whether to liquidate this connection or carry on, enduring the bitter for the sake of the sweet.

3  Your nobility and good intentions protect you, as if on a rescue mission for the Red Cross. In this you are brilliant and daring, giving an impression of forceful beauty.

4  Some get so carried away with themselves and their powers of persuasion that they incline toward deceptive seduction of the unwary who fall into their clutches involuntarily or voluntarily. In the latter case it would be successful seduction, in the former something like rape. This could be an adventure, but is it one you'd write home about? (To be more serious, the possibility of a misadventure such as this could be real for some.) 

5  The course of nature, or your natural destiny, needs to be heeded. If you meet up with someone cruel or vengeful, or become domineering yourself, it is well to quiet yourself within and make a wise choice, perhaps retreat.

6  You see into yourself and others as if with an x ray or body scan. You investigate anybody and any part of the world for the sake of carrying out your assignment.

7  You reveal yourself by subconsciously imitating others who have impressed you. This in turns quickens the imagination and feeling of anyone toward whom you feel implacable love or anger. The converse of this is that someone impresses you vigorously even if superficially and theatrically. 

8  If you feel unsuccessful it could be because you are dreaming rather than working. What is your employment? It can be job, self-employment or both. You can mix with it a degree of fun and enjoyment. (Employment-enjoyment.)

9  Provincial people can be honest and useful even if you are looking for some fire of enthusiasm in them which is lacking. You can calm down and appreciate someone ordinary at his or her own level. Then she or he will feed your ambition and aspiration.

Sun in Cancer, Expansion; Moon in Sagittarius, Sagacity; Fortuna in 6, Adjustment

/moon void-of-course until it enters Sagittarius

at 1:32a PT | 4:32a ET | 8:32a UT

With the Full Moon approaching (late Saturday-early Sunday), there is expansion of consciousness, fullness of awareness.

1  The mastery of which you are capable comes of loyalty to Spirit. That means the Supreme Lord, Who is real no matter how you do or do not conceive of Him. Without Him, only pseudo-mastery. You may be indignant at whatever does not live up to your ideals. 

2  A person who runs or works in a restaurant or place where food is sold could either hurt or aid you depending on your and his karma. 

3  There could be quarrels based on something or on nothing. This could be superficial, because both fighting are too sensitive to transitory external influences.

4  It's the first day of summer! (Time was given yesterday.) You could feel happy and contented, blessed with good things, pleased with family. Whatever foolhardiness you or others have been guilty of can be dispelled in the sun's rays.

5  Efforts misdirected lead to mismanagement unless you have reconciled your passive, dilettante side with your active, almost violent side. This is not easy. You might wisely stop and ask yourself once an hour "Am I going in the right direction?"

6  If you avoid the worthless and walk worthily, renouncing subtle lying to yourself or others, you will be rewarded. A goddess of prosperity smiles.

7  "Guilt by association" is a possible problem. People judge unfairly. However, if you bring forward gracefully the deep innocence and purity of your nature, you will be protected.

8  Your castle is fortified. You are capable of attaining honor and fame. Whatever would resist this is a falsehood to which you do not have to truckle.

9  You want to reason with people to make them see what is right and fair. Possible problems with this are pointed out in paragraphs 3, 5, and 7. If you make it clear that you are welcoming them into some broader, more satisfying community function, you can win them over.

Tuesday 18 June 2013

Sun in Gemini, Vivification; Moon in Libra, Beauty-Scorpio, Justice; Fortuna in 4, Home and (evening) 5, Offspring

Moon in the Via Combusta all day, through Wednesday until Thursday morning

/moon goes void-of-course at 8:56p PT | 11:56p ET | 3:56a UT

}Subtle Consummations{

1  Service in an obscure position is nevertheless rewarding. There can be deep perception of spiritual truth. Organic personality relationships are partly telepathic.

2  There could be something about horses or riding, symbolically for most of us. What is your steed? You can ride her or him commandingly to fulfill a pledge.

3  Calm courage gets you absorbed in one object at a time. There could be snobbery, but also friendship with one you have chosen.

4  There is a genial temperament in most (moon in Libra trine both sun and Jupiter in Gemini) and vibrant good fortune (sun conjoined to Jupiter). 

5  When things seem futile, you could reverse direction, at least temporarily. Pride should not impel you to turn against a friend.

6  It's satisfying to see things from an over-all viewpoint. Everything reflects everything else. Every coincidence has secret import.

7  Some thoughts and schemes seem doubtful but that need not make you lose confidence or become pessimistic. When you turn your mind to Bacchic mysteries within the bosom you become ecstatic.

8  Your mind can be steady through everything while you offer yourself to the mission which feels real to you. 

9  Nothing has to be underhanded or manipulative when you get the drift of invisible sympathies impelling cooperativeness with someone. This could reach a peak just  before the void-of-course time. Thrilling or peaceful intimations lift all above the ordinary.

Moon in Via Combusta all day

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week continues until near noon Thursday

~Rescuing through Telepathic Intimations~

1  Instability and uncertainty lead to failed perseverance and disablement. Yet a transcendent level of consciousness can intervene and make things right for you, first in your mind, then perhaps in affairs.

2  An artificial, superficial person could be peevish and cause trouble. Whatever makes him tick in this unpleasant way seems unreal to you. At least you could gain some stimulation from this nuisance.

3  The morose nature of the |karmically difficult third| could make you feel you desperately need someone, perhaps someone no longer in this world or otherwise unavailable, a mother-figure perhaps. When you see this in yourself you could be haughty and derisive toward yourself. Or you could accept those clinging feelings while hiding them from the world. They may come out in dreams.

4  You could abandon more stalwart dreams of ambition, however, and give up on fulfilling them, looking at dark clouds instead of their silver linings. It would help to uncover the sincere core of yourself which still believes.

5  Unpopularity seems to go with failure, but becoming sadistic as a reaction to this would just make things worse. It is too easy to take pot shots at someone, thereby injuring any good feelings they had toward you. Their own way looks right to them.

6  People get themselves in trouble and then enjoy being rescued. This obviously has a limit. They have a longing for life free of danger, yet dangers attract. The attraction of the dangers is the danger. Yet if one can, one must rescue them.

7  You try things this way and that, and imitate those who have worked themselves into your consciousness. This enables you to quicken your world, no matter how haphazardly, so that things expand and volatilize. Of course you don't want them to burn up. 

8  When one thing fails, you rove without firm direction toward another, and this can be either laughable or tragic. Actually you have a shrewd interest in matters which can make you successful if you don't lose faith.

9  Attracted to children or younger people, you sense what they are thinking, partly, although some of it remains their own and unavailable. Even telepathy has limits, but it can intimate much to smooth the course of events. You could be vigorous in stating some hunch or guess just to see what happens. This might loosen everyone toward a free, organic linking of minds.
