^Service to the Eidolon^
|Karmically challenging or sobering third| of this week continues until late Wednesday *** |
I usually do not give three stars when we are in a |challenging third of the week|, but this time there are so many good aspects among the planets that the day might even merit ****.
Love of both a mellow, stabilizing sort and, on the other hand, a thrilling, awakening sort is available and wanting us to harbor it.
Mercury's sextile with Neptune, while the former is retrograde, suggests deep spiritual realizations or intimations. At a less exalted level it can be intense and happy dreams. I wish somehow I could both relish and understand my dreams while they are going on---not breaking the spell, yet being above it also so I can understand the dreams' significance or "get" their message more deeply and memorably. This could be an excellent time to attempt that. (I believe that thinking of the dreams as real interactions with real beings is not a mistake.)
Contacts with people at or from a distance is of course not unusual during the holiday season, but the chart does emphasize this and I would have said it anyway. One is not averse to work either (though many have the day off), with a sense that one is fulfilling a mission. Disagreements lurking in the background may be the very factors which keep us thinking and learning.
People want to parent one another. This can take wonderful, nurturing forms, or perverse forms.
Pleasure, beauty, and companionship are prevalent. Even if one turns away from them for serious purposes, they tend to recur in more subte-lized or sublimated forms. Selfishness and craftiness have not, unfortunately disappeared from the human race, so one may recognize their ugly presence in others or oneself. A happier form of this is simple rivalry, which keeps us on our toes. We want to be thorough in the work which is our proving-ground.
After that, or during it, there is subtle, gracious devotion, or affection settled upon one object or person no matter what happens---or upon the Deity, in whatever eidolon-form He or She has captured one's heart.

P. S. This is the Second Day of Christmas in both the Roman Catholic and Episcopal (and many other denominations') church calendar.
