}Elevation Past Despondency{

We are in the Dark Hermetic Epoch (May 23 through July 16) and I am feeling it more and more. It is a sort of lethargy-plus-contentment, at times, which makes one want to drop ordinary things and schedules. Why not just enjoy the good weather, or the rain, or life, and daydream a little, or read something one doesn't ordinarily read, or see movies one usually avoids, or . . . This is both the charm and the danger of the DHE. Those who play hooky from work are obviously pushing the responsibility for the work onto someone else. Naughty. Yet at times everyone needs a break, and especially now. My personal opinion is that if the world understood these Epochs, work schedules would be lightened during every DHE or people would be allowed to reorganize their schedules. Yet when one has commitments, it is of course important not to let them slide. 

Good taste accompanies work, the struggle to serve

Perhaps unwillingly; and as escape there is an elevated

Mood conspiring with Nature to make the immature

Liberating. Three crazy people create amazingly.

The Horse's Year brings aptitude, perception and a willing

Mission. Yet sometimes there's despondency, a failure

Of nerve, a loss of energy. Trying too much is much

Too much. Smart limits set deep confidence.

Fresh and constant partaking the course of life

And people's needs link all in sentiments uplifting

As threads which tie the earth to heaven. Someone

Is figuring what those mean and where they lead for sure.

Song of the day: Some Nights by Fun.

~Self-Preservation~

The Dark Hermetic Epoch (May 23 through July 16) leads to "other worlds." It is peculiarly fraught with psychic insights, or perhaps supernormal temptations and divagations. The extraordinary seems possible. Everyone has to determine for himself or herself how to work through this, or play through it. It's an Alice-in-Wonderland time. People want to do things "out of pattern" and this can be either wearying or delightful to others. It has been observed by careful scientists that all animals play, even the worker ants--just sheerly doing anything or nothing for the delight of being alive. So we need to take account of this during the DHE. Even serious work somehow takes on an unexpected aspect or pattern; one does it in unusual ways; there is experiment. 

Things disperse in difficult directions; 

While workers work at grinding tasks

And flowers bloom, give therapy to air,

And cast their seed. Do not cancel yourself. 

Already grapes? Or fruit or much to gather,

And with it justice, fairness to a fault.

Yet somehow there's disaster if there's wavering,

Letting go what works for something worse.

Arts and sciences can heal, or aid the course

Of nature's healing. A man who has it all, in firm

Command, is competent enough to watch for danger

And circumvent it wisely, supermanfully.
