Monday 29 February 2016

^Philosophically Grounded Quest^

Moon in Scorpio-->Sagittarius  ***            /moon goes void-of-course at 11:56a PT | 2:56p ET | 7:56p UT   ** /                   until it enters Sagittarius at 3:57p PT | 6:57p ET | 11:57p UT   ***

I know some of you do not like the bright colors. That is why, on Facebook, most of you read these reports in the tiny-type-faced Facebook style. I like the colors and the big letters, maybe I am childish, so here is red again because the moon is in Sagittarius, which to me is a bright-colors sign. If you know many Sagittarian women you know they like to wear colorful clothing. They are bold where Virgo women are timid--Sag prefers bright reds, greens, yellows and blues to the brown, black or grey of Virgo. 

A lot is going on. Today is the 29th of February, which comes only every four years, Leap Year, which happens to be also the American presidential election year. I do not have strong superstitions about it, but let's assume it might be a momentous day. That will keep us on our toes. The March 1 primaries are tomorrow, which might determine who our next President will be.

Or not, since this is a very dicey year for politics.

I have noted how both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are sign-sign Geminis, and how at present a multitude of planets are in their 10th House sector, which rules career, honor, standing, and prestige. Therefore they are fighting one another. What is extraordinarily interesting is that the day-charts I use, based on dozens of years of serious research (I am not Donald, you can trust me on that), also put many planets in the 10th sector for Gemini both today and tomorrow. I take it to mean that Trump will be the big winner, or else that Rubio and he will share the glory, which could be true even if Rubio just gets more votes than people expected, furnishing him some momentum to carry on. (I do not support Rubio, even though I consider Trump a disaster, for I see them both as disasters.) What could be happening is that the planets, a.k.a. the cosmos, a.k.a. the Divine Shakti, instrument of the Divine Ishwara or Supreme Ruler, are giving Trump (not likely Rubio though he could be a second-place player) a place in the stars at present because they will effectively destroy the Republican Party, or some of the worst aspects of it. That is to be hoped for. Or, if you are a Republican, even then you can see, like your party's elders, that Trump is a disaster for them. But disasters like that have a way of playing an important role in the chess-game of Karma. It is obvious that the Republicans are frustrating any forward momentum for this nation. Trump may be their proper Karmic comeuppance. I hope so. But how that works out can be very mysterious. We shall see. 

Meanwhile, for Monday, there is an emphasis on thought and philosophy or study or research into the depths of the human soul or spirit. Or, at a lower level, it could be research into any more material, scientific or technological area. 

There is an emphasis on old friends, or people you very basically trust. They are your bulwarks in this life, at present (apart from, of course, the Supreme Bulwark, the "rock that is higher than I" according to Psalm 61). Those who care about philosophy or mysticism might have a field day considering new and old concepts (the new are really old and the old are very definitely new, because nobody yet has grasped them). 

The restructuring of Pluto square Uranus continues. It appears that we are getting better at it. That means that whatever you are trying to re-create or re-organize in your life is coming clear to you, one section at a time. This is not without sweat and struggle, but when the fruits are sweet the struggle is satisfying. We can carry on despite any momentarily disturbing odds.

{Monday} ^Philosophically Grounded Quest^

P. S. Donald Trump has Leo rising. Benito Mussolini was Leo by sun-sign. Fascinating, because Trump retweeted a saying of Mussolini's:

“It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep,” tweeted Trump, using a line that is attributed to Mussolini.

When asked about the tweet Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Trump responded that he knew the quote was by the dictator when he retweeted it.

“Mussolini was Mussolini,” Trump said. “It’s a very good quote, it’s a very interesting quote. I know who said it, but what difference does it make whether it’s Mussolini or somebody else?”

When he asked by host Chuck Todd if he wanted to “be associated with a fascist,” Trump demurred.

“No, I want to be associated with interesting quotes,” he said.

Yes, the Lion Trump had to try to cash in on the glory (?) of the Lion fascist dictator Mussolini. In favor of the sign Leo, let me say that at its best it is a superb sign, in fact the sign of the King, worthy of adulation. The problem is that in "lower" Leo individuals this becomes perverted into a belief that they have divine authority when in fact something much lower than the Divine is ruling their conduct. Sri Aurobindo was and is Leo, the King. He knew exactly what he was doing and saying. Some other Leo individuals, of course, get it wrong. Horoscopes alone do not reveal the soul evolution of any individual. They show how it can manifest in a particular lifetime either for the better or the worse.
