Forecast for Week of Saturday 25 April through Friday 1 May 2015

Week of Saturday 25 April through Friday 1 May 2015

There can be indigence, laziness, and complaining. (Of course, the 1 per cent think that this is the condition of all of the 99 per cent--or maybe I am not being fair to the 1 per cent since they don't seem to want to be friends with me and so I don't know them well!) Whining, whining, whining! Or, there can be serious research, study, pondering, meditation, and study of ancient writings which have a powerful magical effect for those with the patience to try to get into their spirit. One can feel confident in sharing secrets with people, because after all who cares about your secrets, really? Your friends will respect them, and your enemies, unless they are truly crazy, don't have time to use them against you.

Your mind may be analytic; you can get to the root of practical problems as well as theoretical ones. You may study life after death. I suggest the Readings of Edgar Cayce for information on reincarnation. The book Edgar Cayce on Reincarnation is wonderful. The occult, mystical and profound intrigues you. The serpent has been a symbol of occult wisdom for millennia. I shall not suggest what you should study but please make it the best. You can be silent and watchful, so that you ward off or prevent any disruption to your good fortune. That should be a privilege of those who have developed spiritual awareness. Everything you study points out specific items you need to learn about and confirms that you are close to the right path (if you are).

There remain tyrants in the world. They remain cruel. They remain ignorant of the laws of karma which shall make them cruelly treated slaves in a future lifetime. You are not one of them, I hope. It amazes me that the media, including the New York Times, are not reporting carefully and fully on the purported beheading of thirty or more Christians in Libya (by ISIS). (Their name, of course, is a slander against the goddess Isis.) It got some small mention one day, then disappeared from the headlines. Those who do not think that the media are mostly anti-Christian are not very observant. What we could do this week is become more capable in everything, by emulating and cooperating with those who are "birds of a feather" or involved in the same interests as our own. If that means grinning and bearing some of their idiosyncrasies, we can do it. Maybe they are grinning and bearing ours.

Sometimes there is a laissez faire tendency. Watch for the daily reports giving the moon's void-of-course times. But those times can be wonderful for research and study and discovery. I am writing this weekly forecast during a void-of-course period. Maybe it it totally off or pointless. If so, please let me know. Actually I think that mental work can go well during a v-of-c period, if the research involved in it is solid. I did the research for this forecast mostly before the v-of-c time. But some of it was done just a few hours ago. I notice that I might appear, to you, to be rambling right now. That is a characteristic, often, of the v-of-c periods. It is not wrong but maybe otiose. Shall I just shut up? But there is a deadline for this forecast, approaching. The laissez-faire tendency this week goes along with the admonition against laziness I already gave. Oh, the 99 per cent must be lazy, otherwise they would be rich! Kidding. We are admirers of the beautiful, this week, of the sublime and ideal, as if we worshiped bubbles whose colors blend before they burst. What is wrong with that? The Eternal manifests through the transient. Voila! Let us be ingenuous. Let us let our souls have plenty of time to express themselves.

Oh, there can be fun this week! Don't get me started or I will go too far and promise too much. But if you are not, some of this week, having a good time with friends, please examine why that is true, because it should happen a few times at least. Birds of a feather flock together, and sometimes with birds of a differing feather. "Your friends are my friends, and my friends are your friends, and the more we get together, the happier we'll be." That verse sticks in my head from my childhood when it was broadcast weekly on a radio show for kids. Well, it ain't always true but believing it is good medicine. There needs to be soul-satisfying social experiment. Don't worry about your dirty secrets; everybody has some; let yourself be free of worry so you will spend time without suspicion with those who are sensitive and studious or lovers of art. (Oh, maybe even lovers of Netflix serials.) (Could be me.)

Are there dangers? A few. I feel exalted, which might be the moon void-of-course as I write (sometimes it inspires silly euphoria), but I must say that we could get ourselves in trouble by walking on a precipice. We might not fall, but the scare could be temporarily disabling. Impulsiveness should not date with recklessness. Common sense is needed when one is "high" on something, including life itself and "high hopes." Prudence and reserve are needed even by soldiers, who are not afraid of combat, but only when necessary. Children need to learn to walk in individual ways, and shouldn't be restrained too much, but the less they fall the better. 

An interesting, or painful, dialectic is going on between bodily wealth and contentment, on one side, and suffering on the other. It may or may not be true that one begets the other. Philosophers have disagreed on that. Of course one can observe that they tend to alternate. Obviously overeating or overdrinking produces bad results and suffering. Also, sometimes, a bout of suffering will result in joy when it ends, just because it ain't there--it feels so good to stop banging your head. We try to find the path of balance. Is there ever an awakening to something beyond these dualities, an honest self-realization? Can we let ourselves enjoy life in an almost dissolute manner and then recover our spiritual poise, our implicit divinity?

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED TO FRIDAY'S FORECAST-POEM WHICH I HAD PUBLISHED HERE BUT IT IS NOT HERE, SO HERE IT FINALLY IS:

Friday 24 April 2015

~Masterful~

Moon in Cancer   ****

/goes void-of-course at 10:05a PT | 1:05p ET | 5:05p UT   ** /

Rise and shine! It looks like the early hours are best.

But all through the day there is a reduction of squares and an increase of sextiles and trines among the major planets. So it should be easier to actualize satisfaction.

When the v-of-c begins, you can let yourself experience a more weekend-style mode, letting things develop haphazardly or surprisingly rather than insisting on definite plans you had made.Those should be finalized before the v-of-c, if possible.

In a tiny church she collects herself to follow the given

Ritual. Janitors, priests, and altar boys are busy with

Separate tasks. Those who come to the service seem

Cast down, ill at ease--imprisoned in formulas and creeds.

Out of a job, he breaks stones with a hammer to sell to a 

Neighborhood builder. The woman who passes by has just

Entered a convent. A horse grazing in the field walks over

A broken wheel. Each wonders what the purpose, the hope.

Out in the country he stands near his cottage, chopping wood.

He looks toward the castle in the distance, a flag of heraldry flying

Above it. He has analyzed his station, ambitions, clear and masterful

Intentions. The flag reminds him who he is.
