Sun in Scorpio; Moon in Scorpio; Foci in 1, Focus or Self and 12, Confinement, Research or Solitude
|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week continues all day *
/moon goes void-of-course at 9:12a PT | 12:12p ET | 4:12p UT *
until it enters Sagittarius at 9:41p PT | 0:41a(Su) ET | 4:41a(Su) UT **
Mercury turns direct at 12:18p PT | 3:18p ET | 7:18p UT But I hasten to add that this may not result in a big obvious difference or improvement because of the just-listed lunar phenomena. Still, it could be an excellent time to meditate or let your consciousness rise out of whatever confusions you may have been experiencing.

It is not my intention to give out tales of woe about Mercury Retrograde, but I find that people in general (maybe not you my loyal readers) "just don't get it." I mentioned the friend who had wasted a whole half-day searching for lost car keys and getting a ticket, during this Retrograde period, and how I explained Mercury retrograde to him. It pleased him because he had just experienced it. I told him it would last until October 25. But a couple days ago I saw him again and he complained that he had cut his fingers twice in a kitchen accident and had to find a band-aide. No reference to Mercury being retrograde; he had forgotten. Then together we found that a mutual friend had just had a car accident, thereby losing his car and getting a ticket. He had rammed into the car in front of him on a freeway. Mercury retrograde can be absent-mindedness or carelessness or mind-wandering causing out-of-pattern incidents or even accidents. Again, he did not mention Mercury being retrograde; he had forgotten. And I, not wanting to be the bragging omniscient astrologer, said nothing about it. So it goes. People don't know that astrology is real because they don't want to know.
I have also mentioned repeatedly, till blue in the face, dozens of times over the years, the fact that there are more crimes and accidents in the |difficult third| of each week which is why I report it here faithfully every week. It is my own discovery, from many years ago, and it holds, holds, and holds. The |difficult third| this time began early Friday, as you can see in yesterday's report, and later on Friday there was the horrid "school killing" in Washington state. Again during a |karmically difficult third of the week|. And on the same day, according to USA Today: "A man armed with an assault rifle shot and killed two California sheriff's deputies and wounded another deputy and a motorist in separate incidents Friday in and around Sacramento, authorities reported."
When a |difficult third| occurs also during a Mercury Retrograde period, as it did Friday and as it does today (Saturday), to put it bluntly, people "freak out"--sometimes. Those who are "close to the edge," as the unfortunate high school boy, are more likely to go over it. Likewise, whoever the other unfortunate armed killer in Sacramento might be.
What is the point of knowing about this? Adjusting one's attitude. Being cautious but not paranoid. Finding out, by observing oneself and one's own life each week, what it means to you so you can adjust your plans and scheduling in accordance with it. Police departments and hospital emergency centers would do well to read this blog and learn from it. As well as, of course, military commanders at every level. Whatever Cosmic Piper may be doing, he is not whistling Dixie.
His dream of the Pope was overpowering. It came
On the heels of an attack by a vengeful enemy.
A tiger was after him, treacherous and cruel, when a man
In a white robe appeared, lifting hands to protect.
Then later he finds a place beneath a tree to sit
And meditate. He wonders what the Buddha knew.
The setting sun inspires within him thoughts of worship.
"That's not Buddhistic. Is even the sun illusion?
"Something has to buttress assurance. What solid heritage?
Jesus the Rabbi is not the Pope, nor yet the Buddha. What,
Beyond belief, is real? Without the sun there'd be no life
Or consciousness. I'm here with it and its rays. That's real."
