*Hopes Upheld Valiantly*
It is amusing (or alarming depending on one's temperament) that the threatened "partial Government shutdown" might begin on the first day of a Dark Hermetic Epoch (October 1 this time) when the moon is in the |difficult third of the week| and also void-of-course (shortly after midnight Eastern Time when the shutdown would begin). I have stated over and over through the years that these are three major indicators to watch, which is why I report them here faithfully. All three were in effect the morning of 9/11/2001. In fact, the DHE began that morning, as it begins Tuesday morning at 6:40 a.m. Eastern Time (until November 27).
On the other hand, conditions never replicate themselves exactly and there is a chance that the two Houses of Congress will arrive at some compromise or other Monday. At least the square of the moon with Saturn is fading while its conjunction with Mars in Leo while squaring Venus in Scorpio suggests that "the s... (Scorpio) is hitting the fan." Saturn is in Scorpio also (definitely a money sign) but its conjunction with Venus fortuitously ended last Friday and now its aspects are good ones. The square of the moon with Venus (twice a month, this time late Monday evening) is a tricky one. I have seen it produce momentously good results both financially and romantically. Other times it seems lackluster. This time it is with Mars and both Mars and Venus are at critical degrees. We will be out of the |difficult third| by Tuesday morning. We shall see. Then the next issue, the "debt ceiling" imbroglio, will hit us by October 17. Does anybody really believe that this is an interesting spectator sport?
Monday:
There is fiery stubbornness, with the moon conjoined to Mars in Leo. There is an ability to see into others penetratingly, and to command them. Will "others" want to be commanded? Not at first, but all may become intoxicated and then who knows?
Mental powers are acute and focused on advantages. You may have a psychic rapport with the latter. Books, especially those devoted to the occult, mysticism, or deep philosophy, are a potent resource, especially if old and well-thumbed. They even aid financial gain because they put you in the right frame of mind for that.
Financial advantages are available but not without some struggle. You may feel you are looked down on by some who do not understand your personal economy. If you have felt neglected, you may make a transition to a state of mind which appreciates the ineffable and spiritual more than the material.
People are trying to impose their will on others but feel blocked in the attempt (Congress). "Other people's money" (meaning of the 8th house in astrology) is all the rage and the burning question "How can I get more of yours?" Yet there is music, maybe a military band marching unpaid past unguarded monuments in shuttered Washington. A deep side of you rises beyond worries and is confident, with lofty purposes.
One could be at peace about an inheritance or one's personal nest egg, if one overcomes unreal insecurities. But there is a chance you could become melancholy, feeling the loss or absence of someone to the point of bereavement. This is a transitional stage while the sun opposes Uranus and squares Pluto.
Jupiter's aspects while in Cancer are getting smoother, so you may feel you have overcome some dietary problem or eating indiscretion. Conforming to semi-ritualistic patterns or duties is good for you and those with whom you join. Your devotions to the Supreme are essential and do more for you than you realize.
There is danger of dissipating what one has (Congress). A strong partner (the other House) could aid in preventing that. You will get messages easily from the universe, which includes people, animals, whatever you notice on the street or where you walk or drive or surf. Your intelligence is being aided toward enlightenment about the very things which most concern you.

A lot of useful communication can take place. Yet you may feel "out of it," emotionally drained (moon opposite Neptune). Security comes from the angelic level. Complex research may go well, with positive direct physical results (moon in Virgo sextile Saturn).
An adaptable mind is conducive to an approach to magic. "All magic is in the will," said Eliphas Levi, yet the will by itself will fail without Overmind orientation to the realities of the visible and invisible worlds. Correct study can develop that, but if I told you what to study you would not do it. (I would say begin with the Bible especially the Psalms and the Gospels.)
There could be in fact a glut of study of the wrong things. You want to be good, and live up to your ideals, which is wonderful, and then find that this is not easy. Guidance is needed. If you had to choose one spiritual teacher, who would it be? You could make an appeal to him or her.
Will by itself can be iconoclastic, bombastic, selfish and destructive (sun opposite Uranus and square Pluto), which is why the heart of my Lord's prayer is "Thy will be done." By surrendering to a greater Will you are not weakened but strengthened. Sound (reading Scripture aloud), music, song (hymns or religious-spiritual music) can do wonders.
A serious and thoughtful mind makes you respected. The deeper you go into real understanding through higher philosophy the less you will be inclined to fight wrong fights. You will choose the "fight" of righteousness instead, which has no penalty.
The allurement of sports and gambling could be strong for many. One wants to try, to believe in luck, to adventure. I won't speak against this, but doubt it could have positive results today. It would be better to think of longer-lasting pleasures such as those connected with children and friends.
There is plenty of quick energy at your disposal when you work, perhaps in a secluded area. You are up for it, and don't mind a subordinate position. You think quickly and accurately in response to what you observe, and so can get things done with enlightened efficiency. Humility magnifies utility. The humble see what needs to be done and do it without prodding, fanfare or procrastination.
