~Happy Christmas!~

Moon in Cancer   ***

A clown is making grimaces, prancing about and making fun of people and himself. He gets away with almost anything. Meanwhile unseen in the distance a woman struggles in the lake to survive, sinking and rising, sinking and rising again. Something tells her friend to run away from the clown to the lake. She throws a lifebuoy to her friend and she is saved. 

The Full Moon of Christmas divides its influences in several directions. This could be vacillation by those beneath it, or finesse in making subtle decisions with intuitive guidance. Some of these require resolute training of the animal in themselves. They watch their eating and drinking assiduously, escaping from the environment's temptations or compulsions, and do what seems their proper duty.

Is it an eagle or a dove? Some think one, some the other. It flies above, circles, and seems to be adeptly what anyone thinks it is. Some say, Prepare for war; others say, Peace is our chance. In a cloister a monk sees the portentous bird but returns to the book lit by his vestal lamp. The silence in his chamber gives him the key to higher mysteries.

A wolf stands on the carcase of a horse. A man passing by feels uneasy, sensing that he has been the wolf and the horse some of his friends who now revile him. The woman rescued from drowning passes by with her rescuer. She feels herself the horse, always in debt, almost bankrupt, but saved from the wolf again by her God-sent friend.
