^Talk to Walk^
Moon in Pisces-->Aries
|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week continues (until forenoon Wednesday) ** |
/moon goes void-of-course at 9:37a PT | 12:37p ET | 5:37p UT * / |
until it enters Aries at 1:48p PT | 4:48p ET | 9:48p UT ** |
Partly it is because of the |difficult third| of this week, coinciding with the uproar over immigration policy. Partly it is because of the Monthly Directions (a method I am using more definitely now than ever before) which feature, focalized on the final days of January, sharp aspects emphasizing international affairs and money (the stock market was way down on Monday). Partly it is our old enemy Venus square Saturn, which always brings out anger, resentment, frustration, and disaffection. Disaffection is pretty much an excellent term for what happens. (Because we still have not learned how to respond to this aspect, which really demands from us a higher and less selfish form of love or caritas.)
Not only Muslim versus Christian but secular or atheist versus Christian (for some reason in the U. S. atheists despise Christians more than Muslims, although it is the Muslims with their Sharia laws that would have atheists stoned to death, not the Christians).
Yes, people are losing their heads. The temporary immigration ban lasts only four months, and affects only a little more than a hundred individuals so far, but people are treating as the end of the world. Also it does not single out Muslims, as opponents lie, but only entrants from seven demarcated countries where terrorism is rife. Many other Muslim countries are not on that list. I am surprised to find myself on Trump's side on this one, but his order is being inaccurately reported, and criticized for wrong reasons.
Meanwhile we would be smart to look to our personal individual lives and drop the pointless strife between varied religious or philosophic outlooks. That is going nowhere fast, my friends. Isn't mutual understanding and love taught in all of these traditions? Who walks that talk?
It appears that legal matters go well today and so perhaps the Supreme Court pick to be announced by the president will go over fairly well.
The fertile garden grows more pleasing as the moon waxes.
In the house a tastefully furnished room has a candle on
A table in the center. Through the door in both directions tumble
Children of brown and black and white complexions.
A map on the wall shows cameos of national types within
Their respective boundaries, the better to be exploited.
On the table, three gorgeous glasses of tempting wine.
A soldier looks away, armed for what he hopes is peace.
A man standing off on a rocky height, proud, feels the dark
Cloud behind his back as a threat, yet senses invisible
Rays of truth holding him strong against death. Can he know
When to send armed men and when to withhold them?
Where is the peace-war barometer? How will the children fare?
Will the soldier shun the wine and light the candle?
