Moon in Aquarius  ** |

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week all day (until Saturday morning)

/moon goes into Escape Mode at 9:23p PT | 0:23a(F) ET | 4:23a(F) UT   ** / |

This is the first time I am using the term Escape Mode for the moon being void-or-course. It occurs to me that the word "void" has too many unpleasant implications and perhaps renaming it, for a while at least, will help us to rethink what it means. Of course, an escape can be wise, as in meditation, or foolish, as in overdrinking or being dangerously irresponsible.

Serious thinking about things is the order of the day, whether they are financial or philosophical or something in between. Order also is the order of the day, with three planets remaining in Virgo. There is push-and-pull between these three and their opposing planet, Neptune in Pisces, which is a spiritual impulse and an effort for spiritual understanding. Both are necessary. According to Sri Aurobindo, the only real order on this plane comes from the higher supramental or spiritual planes, when we can attune ourselves to them. Something like this could be going on now for those able to connect with the higher realities and aspirations.

It may be good to stay close to home or headquarters.

Questions of food to eat or supplements to use could be answered through information. Exercise is wise and can revitalize one's mind and purposes wonderfully, especially if one repeats a spiritual mantra one believes in while doing it. 

The worries and problems of friends seem to be your own and could weigh you down even when you are not consciously thinking of them. Deep metaphysically informed prayer is the only answer I know.

Because of the |difficult third| we may be feeling that the Dark Hermetic Epoch is never going to end, although it does on Saturday and Sunday. These final days of it may not be much easier than the center of it (the end of August until October 24). A peaceful and hopeful attitude will help enormously.
