\The Doable is Pleasing/
The lunar aspects do not deserve more than three stars, but general aspects among the planets are improving. The square of the sun with Saturn is loosening. Sol is moving to a conjunction with Jupiter, a favorable omen. In Virgo, it denotes orderliness and self-training or self-control (I would say self-discipline except for slightly unfavorable connotations). Mercury's sextile with Saturn, from Virgo to Scorpio, is nearing exactness and is, as mentioned, an ability to detect or smell out advantages, some of them financial. As I write late Monday, the futures trading in the stock market looks very good for Tuesday, although there is no guarantee. Of course it would take more than a day to recover the heavy losses of last week and Monday.
Mars and Venus getting closer by the day in Leo suggest past loves returning, or memories at least, or good friendships which happen serendipitously, either old or new.
We are in the Dark Hermetic Epoch of two months, beginning last Saturday. Those of you who have been reading these forecasts for years know some of what that means. It is not really too subtle to be detected by the average observer, but it seems some people have mental blocks which prevent them from noticing what is going on. For example, on Monday I was inspired to write about an old friend and post a rather lengthy remembrance of him online for others in a group to read and ponder. With both Venus and Mercury retrograde, we will all be doing similar things, recalling the past and its good as well as painful episodes and the people we care about whether they remain in this world or another one.
There is a drift to the time, with these two planets retrograde, a sort of holiday mode, a relaxation from ordinary routines insofar as possible. Of course this should not be carried too far, and probably shall not since the sun, Jupiter and Mercury are all in Virgo, an indicator of punctiliousness.
The moon in Capricorn adds even more to the aroma of orderliness. Yet the Part of Fortune in the fifth sector points to happy moods and entertainment within limits.
Feet on the ground but head in the sky is a feasible posture with Luna in solid practical Capricorn sextile Neptune in mystical Pisces.
The planets are settling into a locomotive-shaped chart with Mars in high focus, suggesting better luck than we have had of late. Yet Saturn remaining at point focus in a T square assures that we will remain cautious and careful.
