^Preparing for The Kingdom^
Moon in Sagittarius
|Karmically difficult or sobering third of this week| all day and tomorrow, until Thursday morning ** |
I am starting to feel more deeply what the |difficult third| means. It crept up on me today. It was not horrible and yet there was a sea of despair for a while which I had to cross, or at least get in the ship of faith in order to be safe and find peace of mind. That may continue today for you and all. We know that things are not terrible, and yet we have these sneaking suspicions that things are not turning out the way we wanted. We need to meet that with stronger faith. I find that the Scriptures and other inspired writings are what help me, as well as prayer and mantra. If you find a saying, a quotation from Scripture, or a name of God which uplifts you, you have permission from some of the wisest souls who ever lived to keep repeating that over and over, in your mind or aloud, with respect, worshipfulness, and love, in order to secure the help you need.
Perhaps I am mentioning this because the forming T square of planets in common signs--Jupiter in Virgo, the sun and Neptune in Pisces, and Saturn (today with the moon) in Sagittarius, with the focus on the Sagittarius planets--are strongly in signs of religion, mysticism or spirituality (Pisces and Sagittarius). Jupiter in Virgo may mean we want to methodize that approach to our salvation. So you may decide to go to Mass more often, if a Catholic, or Synagogue, or to both Sunday and Wednesday services if you are a Protestant, or if you follow your own path you may determine on a solid daily schedule of devotions. It is not just thinking of the Lord at rare moments that helps, but thinking of Him every hour and more than once an hour. Sri Aurobindo gives full approval to thinking of the Supreme as The Mother as well as the Father, for those inclined in that direction.
What all this has to do with Super Tuesday in the Presidential primaries, I shall not venture to say. The fact that people are looking to unconventional, out of the box, non-mainstream candidates suggests that their quest is religious or mystical--they want the Kingdom of God on earth, not the diabolical princedom of politicians. When they look to Donald Trump for that, it is rather ridiculous, yet their motives may be good. When they look to Bernie Sanders that seems better, yet he also is a fallible human being. However, it is good that the old boring rigid rituals of American politics are being shaken. The Kingdom of God, whatever it may be, is likely to be surprising. If Hillary eventually wins, perhaps it will be a Queendom.
