^Stoking Fires of Self- and Other-Appreciation^
|Karmically challenging or sobering third| of this week continues all day (until Monday afternoon)
The Dark Hermetic Epoch lasts one more week, changing to a Bright Hermetic Epoch next Saturday the 27th. (It began May 4.) I have been forced into this classification (I Cosmic Piper and nobody else invented the terms for these Epochs around the year 2000) by observation of circumstances. Nobody can tell me astrology is not a science. Why would I want almost half of the time, all the time, every year, to be a Dark Epoch? I don't! But I have found it to be so and I have to give you the warning to help you! Of course it is not a terrible time, or an impossible one; we have lived through large numbers of them (three per year approximately). But I find the earmarks of it continuing in the past week: "Out of pattern" things, incidents, and choices. Delays. Annoyances. Things that don't seem to fit obtruded into one's life. Every day little ones.
Of course, we fight those, or rise above them, or pray about them, or meditate and hope beyond them. We have to, to keep our sanity! I am hoping that what I write here might help you do that. Ultimately, we will see, in some century or other, more fully how to deal with these periods, as they become general knowledge. That will be a very long time in the future because of the scientistic (not scientific) banning of astrology from our schools and media. You are one of the very few lucky ones to know already, if you keep up with these forecasts.
Today we have also the |Karmically difficult third| of this week, another of Cosmic Piper's discoveries. He wanted to know why things seem to go bad periodically, are harder some days than other days, and this particular cycle answered a huge number of questions about all that. Of course it is not the only factor, so one can have "bad days" outside of the |difficult third| and even fairly "good days" within it sometimes (although not often). Again, I point it out so you can be forewarned, forearmed, and rise above it. (It happens to be hitting the weekends now and for quite a few weeks ahead.) Today there could be issues concerning a partner, concerning neighbors, concerning career, all rolled up into something which is disquieting. You are working it out, one way or another, and if you keep the faith that that is possible you will make slow but real progress.
Personal attractions seem to go haywire. Something doesn't smell right about them. Venus octile or semi-square the sun is never comfortable, but lasts a long time; and this time is combined with the even worse same aspect between Venus and Mars. Love and romance are intriguing perhaps but hardly satisfying, for most. I would not say that we should all stay home and isolate ourselves! That might be wise for some, or for part of the day. But it is good to be ready for hard sledding with people when they seem wrapped up entirely in their own concerns and therefore uncongenial. It's a time when "divine Love" seems hard because your "lower self" with its judgments does not feel that some are worthy of it at all. So if you are on a spiritual path, part of your assignment could be to keep that love alive even if it's cowering in a corner. Yet the moon in Leo is a naturally gregarious position, and usually relatively self-confident, feeling glorious enough within to appreciate others' glory also. Maybe we can keep that going.
As for what you want to accomplish in life, it has a show-business factor within it (almost every job or career does) and of course also a financial factor, and neither of these is easy now, yet you can be developing possibilities slowly. Alertness and perception about all that are much better than worry.
