Sun in Virgo; Moon in Virgo; Foci in 12, Research or Confinement and 1, Self or Focus
A prose forecast for five days including this one is repeated below.
The villagers, the urbanites, the rustics gather, colorful
In costume, tattoo, designer garb, linking in surprising
Ways, networking. Cupid looks on, muses, ferrets out his
Victims. Incurable romantics tumble to compelled allurement.
A fashionable man has cleanly shaved, structured his mustache,
Chosen through expressionless eyes conventional amusement.
On his way he meets a man without a head, shrouded in mystery,
Precipitating melancholy where he stumbles. Midnight is approaching.
A priest in his robe stands within the cloister while a sensuous
Well-endowed woman looks within her mirror. When they meet
The terror, pain, confusion of their ingrown opposition
Tears their minds and hearts away from what they thought they knew.

Sun in Libra; Moon in Virgo; Foci in 12, Confinement or Introspection and 1, Focus or Self
Beneath a wide-branching tree she contemplates her unions,
Disunions, beaus and old mates, exes and would-be ins.
An apple falls in her lap. The boy or young man she has eyed
Walks near. He is smart and husbandly--possibly fruitful?
He holds a sword. He looks as if he could wound.
His eyes are large, but now he shows the profile of his
Well-shaved face. He wants something popular, wanted
By all, and maybe would fight--ready for trouble, disgrace.
She would take her chances and visit with him farther shores.
She would trust that her father, the pastor, would credit his
Incipient goodness. She would put fresh romance, new sensation,
The sea, foreign roaming ahead of the danger of fatality.

Forecast for Saturday 20 through Wednesday 24 September 2014
\Supernormality/
The ordinary man or ordinary woman--who is he, who is she? What is ordinary? What is really conventional? Not much, any more. "Anything goes" was the theme song of an earlier generation of the 1920s but seems to have reached its realization now--change even your bodily identity through tattoos or sexual transmogrification. Yet there remain norms, however hard they may be to define, and you become aware of them by observing those around you. Another question: Who is great? Who has such character that he or she is regarded as essential by the public? Not many, but it might be good to consider who they are at present and what they have truly achieved.
There are claims, there are self-assertions, there are demonstrations of excellence. This can seem like a pageant, humanity exhibiting itself and its exalting achievements whether they be in the arts, clothing, music, mechanics or intellectual construction. It goes on and on and we each select from all of it what inspires us. Those who look deeper find a spiritual heritage as well, a domain of high standards which uplift consciousness to a more perspicuous realm. This has been denominated Truth, Virtue, Principle, or Love.Those who attend churches or synagogues get fragments parceled out to them, or ignite their own insights with the fuel the ceremonials and sermons impart.
At what seems an even higher level, we approach the Angelic kingdom. Whether one believes this to be a realm of real invisible beings (many do; consult Geoffrey Hodson's writings, for example) or an idealized extrapolation of super-humanity, it is real in some sense as something toward which we aspire and of which we are deeply appreciative when it manifests. Although we have entered the autumn of the year, symbols for this five-day period have much sunlight in them. This perhaps signifies the spiritual sun beyond the usual "orb of day" or constituting it on higher planes of reality. We can become conscious of our own powers, both those ordinary or normal and those supernormal. They are lent to us from above, or are our inalienable right if one prefers to think of it that way. I prefer the thought of Grace, for who can claim to have created himself in truth? Not many have ecclesiastical careers, or care for the monkish or cloistered life, yet all who meditate or pray have that life going on in some segment of their day, some place in their home, some canticle in their consciousness. We approach Truth, Principle, Love through greatness in others as reflected into ourselves, or the greatness of the Supreme if we reach that high or let that height come down to us.
