^Protective Innocence^
A comet's tail pointing to the earth
Foreshadows enormities, but only those who
Need correction suffer its effects.
Childlike ones don bonnets which protect them.
The military drill instills deep apprehension
In the soldier who feels his time has come.
He looks back on ideas and ideals he has
Garnered from great teachers, hoping they will defend.
The selfie she has taken pleases her,
Fortifying her to laugh out at the world
And the plain girl feeding birds in winter.
"She can't get a boyfriend so feeds the birds!"
I find that this Mercury Retrograde period is not horrific, yet its peculiarities are with us. The stock market has been going down sharply; will come back up, at some point, but the uncertainty, a keynote of Retrograde Mercury, is difficult for investors. The little backtrackings and annoyances of the period are happening--I forgot to recharge my mobile phone yesterday, so had to take the cord in my pack to a friend's to do it there, then forgot to bring the cord back with me. Aargh! Typical of this period. On the positive side, re-evaluating things in which one has invested time or energy can yield good results. Generally I find myself going back to old, trusted things, people and teachers during these periods. It is generally the wiser course (maybe especially today with the moon void-of-course most of the day). At times one may need extra rest or sleep, or meditation--just sitting and looking out the window, or walking slowly with no particular goal, can be forms of peaceful meditation which restore (retrograde) the mind (Mercury).

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week begins at 12:11p PT | 3:11p ET | 7:11p UT
\Invoking Peace/
The |karmically difficult or sobering third| of each week is a real thing. On the other hand, it is not a time to do nothing or avoid people. It might not be the best time for a party or social time, in general, but can be good for serious discussion or planning. Generally the more mature will have better times than the less mature, although young people sometimes blitz through these periods with apparent joy. They might be laughing on the outside, crying on the inside. Today this period in its early stages is muted somewhat by Luna's trine with Pluto and sextile with Neptune as well as by the continuing Venus-Mars sextile with both of them in good aspect to Jupiter. Maturity in people could be refreshing if you looks for and foster it.
The refugees flee from one bad situation to
Another. The warring tribes who force them from
Their homes don't care. A shaman stands upon two swords
Crossed to quell their enmity, invoking peace.
The chemistry teacher's approach is old and formal,
Rigid and book-dependent. A sharp young student
Mocks him, first behind his back, then by trying
To make his big experiment explode. Reversed instruction.
The birds who flock around the girl who feeds
Them give her respite from a painful marriage.
Her man, all she thought of, disappointed her badly.
A marble pillar she, but for the birds.
