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.
