Moon in Cancer-->Leo    ***

It is often amazing how closely events parallel the anciently known (discovered) meanings of the astrological positions and aspects.

On Saturday morning, in Texas, was the sad destruction of the hot-air balloon and 16 lives. The moon was in Gemini, an air sign, and quincunx Mars, planet of heat, within two or three degrees. Also, as already reported in a supplemental post, it was during a |difficult third of the week| and a lunar void-of-course period. It is as if the astrological scripting of a hot-air explosion could hardly have been more precise if concocted by an astrologer.

Later on Saturday the moon went into Cancer, a water sign, and that evening I spilled a liquid on my carpet and angrily interrupted my TV viewing to clean it up--with more liquids, water and soap. Then a neighbor came over telling about his plans to do a huge amount of laundry the next day, while Luna will still be in Cancer a water sign. Now it turns out that I intend to follow his lead and do laundry on Monday when Luna will still be in Cancer. But, more sadly,  I learn today that on Saturday evening flooding in Maryland caused considerable trouble and even a death. Water sign? Just an ancient superstition?

Monday: Personal magnetism and attraction can be intense, with fascination or attempted persuasion or seduction.

Some will be drawn to military symbols or realities. The anger over Donald Trump's reactions to a Muslim family's bereavement, after their son in the U. S. military was killed, is interesting in that Mars is in the final degree of Scorpio, sometimes a sign of death or reactions to it.

On a lighter level there can be playfulness and spontaneousness. Homey or neighborhood delights, like children swinging from a tree, could be refreshing. Like a child, some things in your life seem premature, not ready yet for fullness. Genial and social instincts could lead to self-indulgence such as a luxurious meal with wine.

Roving about in a search for new experiences is possible. There is basic optimism. Yet you are resolute in holding on to self-training, or training someone if you are in a position to do that.

A field or arbor could be lucky (for urbanites, maybe a park or yard). Material benefits could be gained in unlikely ways.

Rainbow dreams seem real rather than illusory.
