(Moon on course)

He scored high on the qualifying test, jumped in the pool and
Encountered a mermaid of temptation. Oh joy! Oh Thrill! Oh loss!
A brewing storm reflected lightning-dagger upset, mild regret.
He opened a book to learn; he studied circling, twining graphs.

The triple septile among Saturn, Mars, and Uranus--two bi-septiles and one tri-septile--has been going on since Wednesday August 14. It lessens somewhat today, the harsh bi-septile between Mars and Saturn having ended (by the two-degree orb allowed). It has been most notable on the world stage in the violent events in Egypt, as well as a multitude of accidents. I do not wish usually to point out tragedies, we all see enough of them in the news, but this set-up is very similar to the one on 9/11/01 when in fact the same three planets were involved in a septile pattern. For most of us this has been a kind of ferocious assault on our problems, a determination (in a facilitating Bright Epoch) to get things under control despite apparent opposition. So it has been for me, at least. I believe we may start to see, today, some positive results of our efforts--not without possible pitfalls, indicated below.

You are qualified for some things and you know it. You are willing to prove that. You are shrewd in protecting your own interests.

A lot that you need to do involves getting rid of obstacles. This could be perceived as destructive by some, so it is well to be careful. Knowledge is yours, along special lines. You do not have to prove that by being obstreperous or arrogant. Your moods vary but you can win.

Contradictions you have borne are connected with your individual destiny, which is unique. You have sunk low, then climbed out of dark spaces to rise high. You continue the process. It can include a need for manual labor, putting multiple details in order, which facilitates your hopes.

Falling into complaining would be a mistake. People might see you as indolent, complaining rather than working, whether that is fair or not. Rather than contrast your lot with others', you can work shrewdly toward wealth and acclaim. There is a time for that, probably now.

There can be intensification, which might appear as crisis. Rather than glory in it (and make it worse) you can rise above it. You want to be strong and decisive, and can do so. Steadiness leads to supremacy. You can be ruthless about what you care about.

There is a spicy side to the day, Venus forming a quintile with Mars. The Fall of Man and Woman! The semi-nakedness of desire could be embarrassing or scandalous. Or delightful, yet I have to warn against what could go awry. Material gain may be more worthy of your attention.

In the growing storm the villagers dance and feast. 
A girl with downcast face mourns Uncle Charley. 
A teenage couple are tied by friends in ribbons.
In the rain a union organizer finishes the wine.

~Turmoil Does Not Frustrate Hope~

Because of difficulties and possible violence in the chart for last Friday, I titled the report "Circumspection" as a mini-warning. I did not want to do this but felt compelled by the nature of the chart and some of the degree-symbols. I said: "Indications of possible violence, hurting or thoughts of death are not fate but a clue that you can calm yourself to appreciate the eternal . . . "   Wondering what the "violence" indications might mean--Egypt of course was obvious--I said "I do not understand the human race's apparent need for warfare and killing. . . . Some indications today suggest that you might consider or try to comprehend the impulse to wound or destroy, in people in general or someone in particular, even in someone you love." Now it has come out that on Friday an Australian in Oklahoma was killed senselessly "for fun" by three teenagers. This is just one confirmation of what the chart was hinting at. (I am not sure why this killing is coming out in the media on Tuesday rather than Friday or the weekend, but the Guardian newspaper confirms the crime happened Friday.) I am happy to say that I had a good Friday afternoon and evening with a friend. The "danger" did not go beyond our being careful in our conversations about certain touchy topics. There was tension in many individuals, I noticed, in many strangers in places of entertainment. I wondered why they were so tense as if ready to "go off" at the wrong word or gesture. And so for most of us these "violence" warnings are not exactly moot but very subtle. Only for the depraved or savage, such as those teenagers, or for those in a war zone, are they to be taken literally . . . Whether the victim Chris Lane would have been helped by reading the forecast is a question. Perhaps not. He apparently did nothing to make himself more than ordinarily vulnerable to depraved killers. Yet I am compelled to give out some of these veiled warnings, to be true to my vocation. For most readers, what they suggest is to be more spiritually aware and prayerful, which is a protection against evil of all kinds. 

Thursday: It requires finesse to make decisions quickly. Options may split down the middle in such a way that you have to give a little to one and a little to the other. It is good to be a guardian of oneself, one's home, friends and career. The ordinary requires mindfulness.

A partnership or friendship is sincere and gives you much no matter what the complexities. You may be thinking of two individuals specially important to you. You may consider travel, visiting, learning, gaining knowledge, using language in a way to promote concord as well as success.

There is concern about those who do the work of the world. Manual labor is essential and deserves good pay and benefits. You may hear or read about someone who stands up for the rights of labor. You may attend to the physical-labor side of your career to perfect it.

A colorful side of the day includes gala clothing, yours or someone else's, and sociable pleasures; festivities including unusual eating. You are also considering your own welfare, watchfully serving yourself for the sake of a rise toward eminence. 

The turmoil which is likely has multiple sources. Some involves peculiar love-attractions; some derives from a conviction that you can be lucky rising up in the world, which is not wrong; but your choices might put you in the middle of a storm. You can rule yourself and your domain.

There could be sadness. There is some mourning at all times, for those who have been victims or who have passed on naturally, but you might be specially sensitive to it. Still, despite melancholy, someone from beyond might be giving you luck in regard to material advancement.
