Forecast: Friday 23 and Saturday 24 August 2013

Friday 23 August 2013

Sun in Virgo, Assimilation; Moon in Aries, Hope; Fortuna in 8, Regeneration

/moon void-of-course until it
enters Aries at 12:14a PT | 3:14a ET | 7:14a UT

The whole tribe gathers; then white folk with them;
Tension dissolves into colorful clothing, glad feasting.
A sphere in the sky reflects stars above, faces below.
The shaman speaking in two tongues transmits treasure.

*Fortune Supports a Smooth Drive Forward*

As I feel it, we are in the midst of a real push toward getting on top of things. This may not be easy but at least it is not terribly confusing. Quick decisions are often the easy part. Things which seemed murky or too complex (in the Dark Epoch which ended August 2) become simpler, or one is able to disentangle what works from what does not work. Then of course there has to be follow-through, which is dynamized by the Grand Square now forming (Venus, Uranus, Pluto and Jupiter) in cardinal signs. That means, Full Steam Ahead! Mercury and the sun are now in Virgo, a sign of method--your methods are being developed and perfected! This has already been discussed in connection with the Bright Hermetic Epoch, the center of which we are enjoying. I hope you realize this, and make your current methods a landmark for yourself, this week and next, perhaps writing down the practical formulas you have discovered to be working for you in every area of your life. This could include diet, work, exercise, methods of study, and methods in your particular art, craft, skill or profession.

There is a sweetening factor beginning today! The harsh septile (tri- and bi-septiles) pattern among Mars, Saturn and Uranus has ended with Mars pulling out of the picture; and at the same time Mars joins in a quintile and bi-quintile (pleasant, lucky) pattern with Venus and Neptune. This could be an elixir of hope manifesting in sweetened human relations as well as breezy optimism about work and study.

Friday: There is an emphasis of interpretation, understanding, cultural interests which intersect in amazing ways to reveal enlightening facets of everything created by humanity as art or literature. 

Sociability and adaptation are wonderful. They lift all beyond a narrow selfish focus in both work and pleasure. You sense how your profession or career is related to the joys and interests of others. Your use of language is facilitated serendipitously.

Perceiving truth is wonderful. It can be happening for you. Whatever your field of observation, you sense how all things reflect one another in ways mutually revealing. Yet you care also about the manual, physical details needed in your area of effort.

The social and the self-interested are finding a mutual harmony. You appreciate the life of your superior in work, and he or she yours, while you navigate the waters toward a definite success for yourself. You are watching carefully for exact ways to it. 

You can sense how old traditions and beliefs of an alien culture can benefit your own. This could be a Native American tribe, an East Indian cultus, or a culture which offers another perspective on how to live. It helps you learn to rule your own world.

The Grand Square gives energy but could evoke too much aggression. We do not have to knock people over to get our own way. Although you want to get that way, Mars's good aspects suggest that the true path is fortuitous and serendipitous

Saturday 24 August 2013

Sun in Virgo, Assimilation; Moon in Aries, Hope; Fortuna in 8, Regeneration

|Karmically intense or sobering third| of this week begins at 11:01a PT | 2:01p ET | 6:01p UT
continuing through Sunday and Monday (longer than usual)

The prison's iron girders comfort in a strange way;
No need to struggle past their solemn grey restraint.
He had an elephant once; a castle on its back in which
To ride. He'll ride again. This poverty tips the scales to certain gain.


*Careful and Calm, Competent and Resolved*

The first two paragraphs of yesterday's report remain as pertinent now as then. 

The day, however, is less exuberant and more subtle, mellow, or mildly downcast. There could be reticence and withdrawal. You know something deep in you is readying to come out, but exigencies accompany the process. Safe competence is a key.

Fortunately you are mentally equipped for whatever happens. You are strong and coolly courageous because sagacious, and wanting to be responsible in aiding anyone dependent. The brilliant side of you is confident but somewhat other-worldly.

What are we going to do about the evil in the world? We can study spiritually, and pray. That is the most powerful medicine, antidote or weapon known to me. Knowledge of a deep sort can vanquish whatever evil forces may be lurking here or abroad.

A cold and mathematical approach to some things is appropriate. One has to get the numbers right, in budgeting or investing. A kingly cure for poverty is available, if one is watchful enough to note what is advantageous and what not. 

Perhaps not everything can be perfect, yet you strive for solid value. After deciding carefully between two possible choices, you can proceed with confidence and determination, ruling your world with your resolve. 

Those imprisoned, or secluded for other than criminal reasons, can develop an inner peace, even a singing of the soul. You know someone who is doing or could do this. There is love in the most unlikely situations. Then good fortune could not be far behind.
