His life-jacket and his raft have saved him for now. He can only think

Of the angry man who sabotaged the ship, and stifle his rage.

His lonely mind has led him to this pass. Is he to blame?

Or his enemy? He feels abandoned by all and angry at G*d.

The Playboy bunny has felt herself exploited, yet oddly elated

To enjoy crass luxury. Her dad was a miner, now suffering black

Lung. She sends him cash. He escaped the mine, she not so

Far the harem. But she dreams kaleidoscopic hopes.

She entered the convent when she felt she was nothing, and needed to be

Someone living for all. She learned to be a dentist's assistant.

Teeth: practical and real. Yet her consecration transcended

Refurbished chomping. She wondered, yet felt in her place.

When Bunny came to the dentist the nun smiled at her profession.

The life-raft was rescued; anger subsided; yet nothing's the same.

~Hallowed Realization of the Immortal~

Moon in Scorpio and the Via Combusta  ** <
New Moon of Scorpio at 10:39a PT | 1:39p ET | 5:39p UT

Of course people are lost--aren't they always? But they are alive and trying. 

There is a switch from a person-involved standpoint, in which you are counseling, coaching, or comforting people (or maybe rebuking them) toward a science-involved standpoint, in which you are seeking and espousing Truth in some version which is (of course) true to you.

That doesn't mean you are heartless, but there is the dark side of Venus conjoined to Saturn which tends to make love skeptical and cynical. That is not good for us so we ought to try to keep loving despite obstacles in the way. 

The moon in Scorpio in good aspect to Neptune and Pluto suggests secretive, occult or mystical interests or experiences. These could be real and uplifting, rather than unreal, imaginary and costume-ey, if we get to the deeper meaning of Halloween and its Eve, which is communion with those who have passed beyond the range of our material senses.

We do what we have to do while the Old Moon dies. Simple things; kindly things; things which require goodwill rather than ambition.

Love is hidden, mysterious, out of kilter---yet not impossible. 

People would, in general, prefer to give up or submit than to conquer.

They want to be themselves, not anybody else. That amounts to overemphasized individuality which can erupt in anger or resentment. In accord with the previous paragraph, it is felt that there is no way to change the situation except through self-esteem. 

Pursuing the beauty of the natural world could lead to friendship.

You are recognized by some for what you have achieved, even if through clouds of misunderstanding. 

Innocence and childlike dignity are secret treasures. "A naked boy, a crown on his head, a scepter in his hand." It is all right to defer some dreams of greatness toward the future. 

It is essential to know the direction of your ambitions, while holding them close and slowly redirecting them (the moon is both waning and void-of-course). 

There is practical worth in some speculative hopes which are real even if under a cloud.

Those revengeful and secretive may catch your attention, but praying for one's "enemies" as the Master recommended will evade their snares.

Moon in Libra   ** 

< moon enters the Via Combusta at 12:48p PT | 3:48p ET | 7:48p UT (a period when things can be confusing while there is a cosmic reshuffling, and possibly a loss of morale as a consequence) (until early Monday)   * <

A lot is covert or held back. We are wary of direct confrontation.

People hide their dreams of love from one another.

Money and the fear of loss is a big issue.

Yet there is willingness to risk a lot to have a good time.

Hidden love seems fatal, or linked with destiny one cannot control.

People say more than they are able to verify, just for the sake of entertainment.

Mountain scenery has an appeal. There is a link with the farming life somehow. (You may not see this directly, but at the end of the day if you review it you will see what it means.)

You can accept what seems defeat because it is expedient to do so. That means that the defeat will not be lasting.

Your ambitions could be sustained in surprising ways ("A gold rush"). 

Seclusion and restraint are good. This may be counter-intuitive, unless you connect with the deeper intuitions which really know what is best. 

Innocence and dignity, as that of a child, are resplendent and promise greatness---more than you might suspect.

A gift that is either artistic or literary may be yours, or that of someone you care about. Exercised in private, it has scintillating potentials. 

Even urban folk may have a feel or taste for the rural or rustic.

Moon in Virgo-->Libra

/moon void-of-course   ** /

until it enters Libra at 6:52a PT | 9:52a ET | 1:52p UT   ***

We got through the void-of-course Wednesday, which was not horrible for me but rather peculiar. I really did not want to go to a spiritual meeting in the evening, wanted rather to stay home and do things important to me, but felt I was guided from Above to go there. It was a rather strange meeting, as could be expected during a void-of-course time. Egos were prominent. Everyone seemed to want to forward his or her conceptions or pseudo-conceptions onto the group as a matter of "I know best." Boring. But I am glad I went because such meetings are part of the learning process which helps us grow beyond our limits. If we are loyal to a group or a person we have to be so during the void-of-course times also.

Thursday looks better. Solid relationships thrive. What are "solid" ones? The ones which have survived tests. Sometimes they will be less glamorous or sexy and more conservative or mellow. 

There is a focus on friends at a distance. There is a focus on neighbors or relatives and their needs.

Accounting in business matters goes well. Communication with those harmonious and mellow is pleasing even if not exciting because they seem to be hiding away. 

Old things which remind you of some past life, or old established scenes from your childhood, are evocative. 

Subtle and changeable individuals are fascinating. They alternate from one persona to another and so sustain hypnotic power. 

There are setbacks in love and friendship. But one can accept them gracefully, and turn to whatever is expedient rather than thrilling.

Some are wanton, pushing toward what is worthless even if exciting to their exaggerated ego-sense (Mars square Uranus). Fallen idols cannot recover unless their energy is transposed to something true and uplifting.

A sensuous element could sap one's higher aspirations and lead to thrills voluptuous and sybaritic. But, as paragraph 7 suggests, those are likely to be short-lived. Lamenting over and reminiscing about a lost love is one of life's (dubious?) pleasures. 

Do people say one thing to your face and another behind your back? Please do not get upset about that. Have you not done the same to others on multiple occasions? We are learning gradually to be more understanding and tolerant. Meanwhile "slander" is something which happens but we need to be patient rather than indignant concerning it. People learn that they will be utterly alone if they criticize everyone harshly. They are to be pitied during their learning process.

Moon in Virgo

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week continues until Thursday morning   ** |

/moon goes void-of-course at 11:34a PT | 2:34p ET | 6:34p UT   * / |

until it enters Libra Thursday morning at 6:52a PT | 9:52a ET | 1:52p UT   ** 

We have one of the longest void-of-course periods in recent memory, about 19 hours, though not beginning until mid-afternoon on the East Coast of the U. S. So before that begins would be the right time to get things done which involve other people's input, agreement or permission. 

There's something you want to remember to do at home concerning housekeeping or upkeep. 

An eccentric person at a distance fascinates you. There were violent or semi-violent aspects of his persona in the past. 

You were in love or are in love with some person who has passed from this world and is on your mind. 

There is a profusion of interesting and sometimes beautiful things to do on the Internet, linking you with people at a level of understanding. 

Business costs can be adjusted without too much trouble even though there has been a factor of loss. 

It takes time and trouble to study or learn some things which expand your consciousness, but you can do it.

(Have you ever listened to Art Tatum? I am doing so now and he is the most amazing jazz pianist ever. His renderings are so smooth and comfortable to me, yet dazzlingly proficient, that I am letting them play as I write, and I cannot do that with other music.)

(Have you ever had the display on your screen slant completely sidewise? It happened once to me many years ago and I forgot how I managed to correct it. It happened tonight right in the middle of the YouTube "last interview" with Max Spiers four days before his death. When he was unable to keep speaking--he sounded drunk or stoned--there was an interruption while he jumped on a trampoline, and at that moment my computer screen went sidewise. Black magic, which he was investigating? Or a little semi-malware trick of the man who interviewed him and prepared the video? I was angry and upset and restarted the computer twice with no change. Then I asked that fake personage Windows throws at us, typing painstakingly sidewise, and found a page which said Try contol-alt-up arrow. That worked, thank Heaven or somebody.)

More on Wednesday: "The double triangle. Denotes great will power. A magician."-- Charubel. This is the degree of both the sun and Mercury. You can work some kind of magic.

You may feel lonely, as if an outcast. You can focus on work. Young people seem remote.

What is there about rural life which intrigues you? You could let your imagination roam to a rustic scene where there are sheep, goats or cattle. 

"A relay race" goes along with Mars square Uranus, giving you high energy in some area either physically or mentally. You are fit to carry on the torch someone has handed you.

Again, you can work magic. You have a strategy both diplomatic and assertive and can combine those approaches.

\Depth of Capacity/

Moon in Virgo

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week continues until Thursday morning   ** |

I am often caught between Scylla and Charybdis in writing these reports. Some indications are hard, others nice, and I have to navigate between them. Not easy! I am always worried that I will give you a "bum steer" or say something that will look wrong at the end of the day. I may be my own harshest critic.

I gave four stars for Saturday evening, yet my "party" evening somewhat fizzled, although I did not have a terrible time. Then when I came home I found that one neighbor was sad because her boyfriend had just lost his bicycle and was out looking for it while she was forlorn. Another neighbor told me he was sick and homebound. Four stars? Not for my neighbors, and not really for me, although some good things happened. It is easy to find a culprit for this: Venus conjunct Saturn, which I have reported on here, four times a year for 17 years, or 68 times (including also the squares and oppositions between these two), as one of the hardest aspects in astrology. It is. But there is also Venus sextile Jupiter now, excellent, and I chose, being an optimist, to go with that in Saturday's report. But Saturn wreaked his or her vengeance. 

For Monday I titled the report "Great Expectations" and some of you, I believe, took that to mean more than I meant---after all, "expectations" are just expectations, not a guarantee of anything definite. I reported duly that it was a void-of-course day, and indeed the moon is void-of-course as I write this. There have been a lot of confusions; one person thought that someone other than the person who really wrote a nice message to her had written, and thanked the wrong person. Not a huge problem but a mild embarrassment. Another person posted the wrong person's birth-chart as the birth-chart of the person under discussion, just because the names were similar. This is all typical void-of-course stuff. 

Then I got off, this afternoon, on something fascinating but utterly uncertain, maybe even unreal or illusory, conspiracy theories involving Max Spiers--if you look him up on Google you can read about his strange death in Poland where apparently he may have been poisoned because of his work on strange conspiracy theories---you know the kind, the utterly unbelievable ones, about Fourth Nazis in conspiracy to develop strange humans with surgery and drugs, and people who can change into reptiles, and on and on. Ordinarily I give no credence to any of that, but this time something about the story got my serious attention---and I started watching a very long video interview with two individuals (one of them Spiers) who purport to be involved with all these secret organizations unknown or unreported by the New York Times, AP, CNN, or any other reputable media organization. Weird? Yes. Unbelievable? Yes, or almost, but I try to stretch my credibility as an exercise in philosophical and psychological awareness.

Void-of-course? Indeed! 

The v-of-c stretches on for a few more hours so I will probably watch the end of this strange interview, and be little more wise, or maybe less wise, than I was before! 

Some of the beliefs of these people are indeed archetypical paranoid schizophrenic theories. For example, a belief that some people who are categorized as mentally ill, and treated with drugs for that, and given SPS (free money because they are "disabled")---I have known a lot of them---were actually treated and implanted and manipulated or hypnotized by these secret organizations, maybe run by UFO people or else the secret Fourth Reich or maybe secret Zionists---and then the secret organizations also control their therapists who dutifully call their memories of having been controlled by these organizations "delusions"! So we have delusions wrapped within delusions, conspiracies wrapped within conspiracies, and something even worse than what L. Ron Hubbard imagined was going on to defeat his beneficent (according to him) Scientology. I knew a lady who believed seriously that she had seen UFOs and their occupants, and thought she was from another planet herself, and she was getting SPS as "mentally disabled" and also, I think, imagined that her therapists were in the government program of casting doubt on the fact that she was really from another planet. 

This stuff goes on, and millions of people read these things on the Internet and appear to believe in them. And the moon, today, is void-of-course, while I am thinking about all this.

Yes, v-of-c can be temporary insanity. The moon was v-of-c, for example, at the time of the attack on 9/11/2001, as anyone can validate by checking an ephemeris. And the conspiracy theories, and discrepancies in the official reports of that day, are a continuation of the event's v-of-c status, maybe forever. 

I am writing this during a v-of-c but you will probably be reading it while the moon is not v-of-c (after it goes into Virgo) so you may be doubting my own soundness of mind.

On to the forecast for Tuesday, as much as I can summon: 

I hold to my statement yesterday that because Mercury is moving to join the sun, we are in a good position to estimate and hold on to our plans and our agendas. Our conclusions about what we are doing and what we can do are likely to be correct. The Mercury-sun conjunction will be exact early Thursday. So for the rest of this week we may be "on" in regard to our plans for the next few months, or to the end of this year. 

Today is a |difficult third of the week| day which means we are likely to look on the dark side more than usual. I call it "sobering" because that is exactly what it is. But if we are honest with ourselves and realistic we can make steady progress against whatever seems to threaten. Because the lunar square hits both Venus and Saturn, we could be experiencing the "no love" feeling, that is, "Nobody loves me or I love nobody." It is an illusion but it impels us to find out more deeply what true love really is, something more challenging than we would prefer.

Using the symbols for the planetary positions: Our capacities may be greater than our faith in them. So we should take heart that we are shining by the reflected light of the Supreme and can manifest or womanifest what He or She chooses to make explicit through us. 

Even if feeling melancholy, or because of that, we have depth of penetration into life's mysteries.

Daring to choose and then to be in command is a good thing, especially when one feels generous toward those one might wish to command. Some of them may feel ill or exploited.

There is flower-like beauty if we are willing to see and accept it. Venus sextile Jupiter brings loveliness and pleasure at least in small things, and the lesser is sometimes more potent than the greater.

When we worship what, or Whom, is greater and better than ourselves we ally ourselves with It and its power to make our concerns one with the universal pattern.

Ethics and intellectuality bring esteem to those who contain them, and all do to some degree.

^Great Expectations^

Moon in Leo-->Virgo   ***

until it enters Virgo at 8:17p PT | 11:17p ET | 3:17p UT   ***

The 15-hour void-of-course time suggests that Monday routines may be best, rather than anything chancy.

Mercury is moving toward its fast-forward conjunction with the sun, the center of the Bright Hermetic Epoch (this one from October 6 through December 1). (You may note that that is not the exact center in terms of the number of days on each side, but it is the center in terms of zodiacal motion as measured from the earth in regard to Mercury and Sol.) Therefore, we are poised and centered in regard to our projects, work intentions and goals, and forward momentum in any conscious direction of our lives. Maybe after the moon enters Virgo tonight it would be good to write down what you feel are your major plans for the next few months, and your daily or weekly schedules, etc., so that you are able to "fix" or codify what you are seeing at this especially lucid point in our onward going. You likely have figured out a lot of things and are right about most of them.

Monday has a sense of huge possibilities, whatever happens. There is expectation of enormous gain, and that will not fade whether or not the gain manifests now.

There could be (as if house-building) helpfulness toward someone you really like, and this has lucky results. 

There is zeal for certain projects the world considers ridiculous. You can press toward them with success (Venus sextile Jupiter) but should be careful you don't overstep realistic bounds (Venus square Neptune) or you could burn up your energies in something fatuous. 

You will know the difference between the two if you trust your heart---for it is unselfish, influenced by others, affectionate and confiding. 

That purity impels you to repudiate compromises of conventionality and go for broke when it comes to your creative need for self-fulfillment of inner instincts. You importune the world, or someone, to accept your desires. 

Yet you well know there are dangers, so you have to be competent as well as passionate while engaging anyone in heartfelt objectives. Then amazing things can happen to satisfy your "great expectations."

Week of Saturday 22 October through Friday 28 October (plus data for Weekend)

~Better Balance Established~

I can honestly say what everyone likes to hear, that this week should be smoother than last week. It is true that the preponderance of squares and oppositions (hard) versus trines and sextiles (easy) remains on the "hard" side. The demanding aspects in cardinal signs put us constantly on the alert to keep up with our quest to reach our goals, whether they be long-term, short-term, or utter necessities. I can't speak for you, but the past week has seen me struggling every day to catch up with all the things pressing on me. It has not been extreme suffering, however, because I had a will to do these things; it was just demanding on my time and attention. I took short breathers but felt I had to get right back to work.

This week may be the same, in that regard, but with this difference: Rather than Mars square Mercury being the stand-out aspect (frazzled nerves, disagreements, pressure to perform with accuracy), Venus sextile Jupiter is with us as one of the pleasantest aspects in all astrology. We may continue with pressing tasks, but feel relieved that they are less exasperating. They reach happy consummations sooner rather than later, and with less of a sense of "combat." 

Venus sextile Jupiter---and these two planets also in mutual reception, that is, Venus in Jupiter's sign and Jupiter in Venus's---presages good social times, luxuries, festivity and entertainment. (And possibly pounds added to the waistline, but let's not go there.) What detracts somewhat from this is that Venus is also moving to a conjunction with Saturn, but this being in Jupiter's sign and with both in good aspect to Jupiter may merely mean that wise common sense predominates over utter frivolity (so the waistline may be curtailed after all). 

Here begin mini-essays based upon the positions and aspects plus the degree symbols for the week as I have researched them:

Notorious individuals may be in the news in a big way. (One comes to my mind at once.) The world is wisely suspicious of them. Some are misanthropic, revengeful, secretive and avaricious. 

Others, not actively baneful, are passively content with drifting into unpremeditated problems, including probably some of your friends or yourself. There is saving help through "three mounds of knowledge on a philosopher's head," that is, integrity and comprehension plus prescience. (Maybe we should be studying Hegel and his trinitarian logic.)  People grope toward understanding.

Writers may be blessed this week. No matter how disorderly their methods and scribblings may seem at first, they can come into a piece. Intellectual work is underappreciated, yet those born to it persist. Some of what they write may have to do with marriage or non-marriage, ways of conforming love to society, rituals of love. While Jupiter is in Libra we stand to have, probably, the first woman president and her husband, an ex-president, will be "first man" (some would deny him the "first gentleman" distinction) and so something fascinating is working out since Jupiter entered Libra, sign of marriage and relationships, on September 9. 

As for bookishness, others will be readers of tomes from the past which are more relevant to current needs than popular best-sellers. Some have to do with ancient mysteries, "the Pyramids and the Sphinx." We certify what our lives are about by linking with global history and its monumental attainments.

Psychic gifts are not to be underestimated. The popular TV series showing off supernatural powers are foreshadowings of what can be attained, if not in those exact fictional ways then in ways metaphorically analogous. The popularity of these series and movies shows that people believe they are implicitly more than their current selves. The other side of this is keeping the body in shape, "boys and girls in gymnasium suits," for we animate our minds by animating our bodies, sometimes in home exercise programs. 

Those who study chemistry or any other science have an implicit duty to use discovered knowledge for the benefit of humanity. At high speed they train their own and others' perceptions. There is something romantic about their far-flung researches and intellectual-missionary adventures. 

"A girl surreptitiously bathing in the nude" immerses herself in the potentialities of natural reality. She may seem eccentric but is not inviting voyeurs. We are who we are without superfluous clothing or artificiality. An older man may care about her and feel she is still living in a cradle of innocence which could bring grief upon her. He can't help her except through repining and prayer, wanting her to escape sorrow. 

We may find that music plus literature, philosophy or spiritual poetry (such as some scripture) lifts us into supernal ecstasy. The refined in art and sublime in nature call to us. Listening to music can be wonderful therapy, re-enlivening aspirations and endeavors. Then we are ready for the fray of daily life and final victory. 

Those imprisoned metaphorically or actually are trying for a way out. Yet the chart suggests that we are imprisoning ourselves, that is, holding ourselves back for the sake of goals we want to attain rather than letting ourselves do just anything, for that kind of "freedom" might be bondage to momentary impulses and surrounding temptations. Wise enough to know this, we hold back and seek for real spiritual freedom through pursuing self-disciplined activities. Then our personal identity demonstrates true liberation through adeptly balancing the pairs of opposites, such as ambition and peacefulness.

~Maintaining Focus~

Moon in Cancer   **

The oppositions and squares in cardinal signs are the major feature in our solar system as experienced on the earth and have been for weeks. This is not easy but it keeps us moving, trying and energized. Yesterday and today the moon is in league with all of that, from its position in Cancer, forming a Grand Square with the other planets. We may be trying to do too much, getting lost in too many directions. "What is most crucial now?" could we a wise question to keep asking.

It's interesting that Cancer is the sign of "the home" in some sense (the natural 4th house) and today my attention was caught by an article about the "safest" places to live in the U. S. to escape climate-change problems. I also met a new next-door neighbor who is a woman, and Cancer is a "female" sign ruled by the moon (though Cancer males can be masculine in their own way). I was thinking of Al Morrison, the Cancerian astrologer (sun in Cancer, Aries rising) who was such a help to me in my New York City days, as he was to dozens of other budding astrologers. He studied everything, including the sciences and literature, and tried to integrate it all with astrological wisdom. He really knew how to teach a class, warmly welcoming participation by all in the group. Famous individuals in New York were among his clients. His influence is lasting and I expect to work with him somehow in the future either on the physical plane or in other realms of consciousness where astrology can be understood in its real essence. Thank you, Al, wherever you are, for marking out a path for astrology in a world not very friendly to it. I was "the reluctant astrologer" and once he told me that I ought to be doing charts for people and teaching classes. "You're being drafted," he said. Once at the Greek restaurant where we sometimes got together, he looked up at me and remarked, "Being an astrologer is a strange destiny." And once when we ran into someone he knew on the street, he introduced me and said "He's an astrologer---and a damn' good one."  Coming from him, that was near to the highest praise I have ever received in this lifetime.  G*d bless you, Al. 

A forecast for the current week, ending today, was posted Wednesday; and another for the week of Saturday October 22 through Friday October 28 shall be posted on Friday, G*d willing.

}Thoroughly Developed Energetic Progress{

Moon in Gemini

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week continues   *** |

Expanded Forecast for Week of October 15-21 (Saturday through Friday) 2016:

There is a combination of work at home, and work outside the home in a workplace which feels like home. Complex interrelations with people are tangled in details which are not impossible to untangle, though that takes time and goodwill. Study and research may be paramount. Males who are full of energy and assertive are in your life for you to cooperate with as best you can. 

(From yesterday's report for this week, still relevant): There are baneful powers, whose intent is evil, and it is well to protect ourselves from them in consciousness. We have an energy that wants to go places and make discoveries, and can do this, exploring through our minds. The baneful influences could push us toward bad habits which bring us in contact with the "scum" of life, as it were, and resulting gossip or envy, unless we awaken ourselves to the call of the morning, fresh and clear, and rise and shine! 

Those imprisoned or restrained may be in our consciousness. We also may feel restrained, by either habit or necessity. What helps is a clear mind-set which orders things in our consciousness and then in our lives. To escape from prison we have to reorder our thinking first. We have to rectify some of our past deeds, in our minds, by seeing how they went wrong and determining to do better. Then we will envision daylight and greenery, or fall colors, and know when and where to move toward each fresh possibility. Things keep changing but we can catch up with them.

Some of what we have to do is testing things warily, as if an analyst of causes and their effects. We train our minds as if training a horse, so that our perceptions will not mislead us. Brilliant gifts and psychic powers may also be ours. We can use them even though they are ahead of our time, or of humanity as a whole. Children have to play while they are learning, and that is healthy. The animation of the body complements the animation of the mind, in both children and adults. 

(The promised two final paragraphs of this weekly report): Research into natural phenomena can be rewarding. You want to explain things, and hear others' explanations. Such information inspires you to try to persuade others toward action which fulfills grave responsibilities. You may have an extraordinary mission in public life, which you hide while getting it in shape, because some of it, though not dishonest, would be regarded as shady or peculiar. (Even Hillary Clinton has been threatened with imprisonment by her opponent.) 

You guard your home and your security as well as your career, passionately caring about holding things together. There is a lot of drama--imitation, mummery, maybe movies or TV series which enliven your life, or you choose to enact some theatrical semi-foolishness yourself. People and things which are absent from you could cast upon you a feeling of bereavement, yet also a chance to recover yourself through recuperation. You can bless some old concerns and then let them be while a fresh situation sorts itself into something satisfying. 

The many squares and oppositions in cardinal signs keep us intent on activity, and we feel pressured either by circumstances or ourselves to keep going at high speed. So we are translating our learning, perceptions and intuitions into action efficiently.

I continue to research and revamp the weekly charts and a method of writing something revealing with their aid. I have been time-traveling through the past today, studying in great detail the best ways of doing this, separating the better from the worse. And so here is the beginning of a rewrite of the weekly forecast for this week of Saturday October 15 through Friday October 21:

There are baneful powers, whose intent is evil, and it is well to protect ourselves from them in consciousness. We have an energy that wants to go places and make discoveries, and can do this, exploring through our minds. The baneful influences could push us toward bad habits which bring us in contact with the "scum" of life, as it were, and resulting gossip or envy, unless we awaken ourselves to the call of the morning, fresh and clear, and rise and shine! 

Those imprisoned or restrained may be in our consciousness. We also may feel restrained, by either habit or necessity. What helps is a clear mind-set which orders things in our consciousness and then in our lives. To escape from prison we have to reorder our thinking first. We have to rectify some of our past deeds, in our minds, by seeing how they went wrong and determining to do better. Then we will envision daylight and greenery, or fall colors, and know when and where to move toward each fresh possibility. Things keep changing but we can catch up with them.

Some of what we have to do is testing things warily, as if an analyst of causes and their effects. We train our minds as if training a horse, so that our perceptions will not mislead us. Brilliant gifts and psychic powers may also be ours. We can use them even though they are ahead of our time, or of humanity as a whole. Children have to play while they are learning, and that is healthy. The animation of the body complements the animation of the mind, in both children and adults. 

That is three paragraphs out of five for this week; the others tomorrow. I have spent a full day on this research--but also many days and hours over the past 20 and more years. In the future I hope to write and post the weekly forecast on Fridays. I believe that as we go along they will become clearer and more meaningful.
