Moon in Aries ***
/moon goes void-or-course at 9:39a PT | 12:39p ET | 4:39p UT * /
This is the first lengthy void-of-course period we have had in a couple of weeks. The day may be a bit of a breather. We need to catch our breath. A feeling of despondence or "what's the use?" could be something we need to face. The good side of it is that it shows us how we can take a different viewpoint, approach or rationale to our lives which will again put us on a winning trajectory. I hope the following report for the September 1-15 fortnight will help:
^September 1-15, 2015 (Tuesday through Tuesday): Inching Toward More Definite Purpose^
There will be a lot of pondering and thinking, trying to get at the roots of one's philosophy or approach to life, with a bit of discontent. The latter is good insofar as it inspires us to go deeper into ourselves and our destinies.
Money matters were correctly diagnosed in the report for August 16-31 as difficult, just before the very large stock market drop. There was a mild but not complete recovery last week from that, and now things seem uncertain. I do not claim to be able to predict the Market's motions but the autumn of the year, including sometimes September, has been the scene for the largest drops in history including 1929, 1987 and 2008. I sincerely hope that will not be the case this fall but many investors are nervous. It goes without saying that investors need to be careful, but since there is volatility, one does not know whether missing large Market rises or getting in on large drops is the worse problem. I have to admit that this paragraph would not be very helpful to investors.
Indefiniteness is increased by the Dark Hermetic Epoch. We have already discussed that in the past few days; it lasts until October 24. But life goes on. The internal, dream-like thrust of these periods is increased this time by the opposition of both Jupiter and the sun with Neptune while the latter is in its own sign Pisces. This can be "religious problems" for one thing, since Jupiter is involved, or "spiritual problems" on the Netpunian side. People find it hard to talk about such matters and hard to define what their positions are, since the spiritual and even the religious go way beyond what our concrete, verbally dependent minds can surmise or state in so many words. Therefore misunderstandings are inevitable, it seems, and one can only do one's best, praying (verbally and non-verbally) for understanding within oneself, within others, and in interpersonal communication.
All that is specially poignant because both ends of the opposition are square Saturn near the end of Scorpio. Some may feel that their souls are "on the line" or that they face a crisis of knowing who they are, what their purpose is and whether or not their relation with the Supreme is safe and secure.
Mercury's opposition with Uranus and square with Pluto, in cardinal signs, is more worldly or sectarian, probably involving negotiation or compromise, requiring an ability to see what is most important in making deals or agreements. There are two sides at least to everything. That is a lesson of the sign Libra wherein Mercury resides while he slows down, goes backward, and then slowly forward, from now until the end of October. Rather than get upset and retreat in frustration, or lash out in anger, it would be wise to realize that the "other" in all situations does not see things as you do and that it might be good to try your utmost to see things from that other viewpoint, or at least not be short-tempered while the "other" is unable to see from your viewpoint. This is not easy. I don't like the word "compromise" but it might be a stopgap semi-solution to some impasses.
Postponement is another option, though of course it is not always possible, but since people's minds go forward and backward, and they are not sure exactly what they think themselves in many cases (Dark Hermetic Epoch plus the aspects already mentioned), it is good to give them and oneself time to settle down. Waiting may seem a weak approach to crucial issues yet might be necessary in many of them--together with praying, which is always appropriate.
On the happier side of things: Venus and Mars, together in Leo, are trine Uranus in Aries on one side and sextile Mercury in Libra on the other. This amounts to positive social possibilities, a readiness to trust oneself at least and in so doing to be willing to communicate with others fearlessly (despite what was said in previous paragraphs). Latching on to what is obvious (such as the weather, a popular talking point) or beyond dispute allows us to break the ice and approach what we really care about. People do not have to be super-sensitive about everything. Either romance or simple exhilarating temporary friendship is favored by these aspects. Maybe saying "How do you see this?" could help, or, "Do you think . . . ?". Putting everything in the form of a question could defuse the worries people entertain and help them realize what they really want or need. Then the ice breaks, there are smiles on both sides, and what unites people comes forward, always more real than words which divide.
More soon . . .
