Yes, the Dark Hermetic Epoch is upon us! I did not mention it in yesterday's report, but it began Wednesday at 12:57p PT | 3:57p ET | 8:57p UT. It lasts until March 20 (always slightly less than two months). It is normal; occurs almost half the time; so nothing to worry about; but those of you who have written me telling me how much it means to you realize that it definitely means "something"! Outer things are slower, usually, or harder to contain within ordinary limits and habits, while inner things become alive and one prefers the inner to the outer world so that one can let the latter get out of hand. It is good to (a) allow oneself extra time to play, amuse oneself, meditate, pray, read, write, and so on, while (b) making sure one attends to ordinary business at least sufficiently to prevent problems. It is a balancing act. Some of one's outer business and daily scheduling is bound to get out of kilter frequently, so one has to be ready for that and bounce back one way or another.

[For those new to these reports, the word "Hermetic" refers to the planet Mercury of whose four-month cycle in relation to the earth and the sun the Dark Epoch is almost one-half.]

Despite the void-of-course later in the day, today is likely to be smoother than Wednesday. 

There is softness, pliancy and sympathy. People are longing for the basic delights of human relationship in informal spontaneous ways. 

There can be melody and harmony, with high appreciation of the gracious and subtle in music or the arts. There is a profound level of mystical penetration. In one's melancholy moods one links with those beyond the pale of what we call "death." Of course this is elevating as well as melancholy. 

It is exhilarating just to be with people, in one's work for example. Both superiors and co-workers are releasing personality-tensions through association with one another. There is poetry, or song-lyrics; a "whistle while you work" path to success.

Many are gathering together in mind the fruits of a lifetime. You sense what you have gained or what has been given you by the Supreme. Many will want to share that with others indirectly, or release the perfume of self, the essence of hope, and let it permeate the atmosphere. Voila! We are alive together, whatever the issue.

Someone in authority has dignity deriving from his ability to establish trust and confidence in everyone. He is never at a loss. He or she is associated with persons of high estate. He is able to bring security to many, including yourself, through varied gifts or skills. 

Forbearance and suavity lead to favor. One can sense what people want, or need to hear, and fulfill their needs or wishes smoothly so that they remain hopeful, and place their trust in you. That could include some in high positions. Unconditioned friendliness brings new facets of everyone into play.
