}Bringing Nobility to the Struggle{

Moon in Gemini

|Karmically serious| third of this week begins at 4:18a PT | 7:18a ET | 11:18a UT (until Wednesday afternoon) 

Things seem to be tightening up, that is, you feel you need to get on them to get them finished. We have just passed the center of the Bright Hermetic Epoch and can see our way clearly in many directions, but only until November 15 perhaps. So it is well to complete major undertakings. 

Except for some possibly excessive dreaming and musing (including worrying), related to Luna's square with Neptune, you have an opportunity to be efficient (moon trine both the sun and Mercury, increasing into the evening). The |difficult third| merely adds to the no-nonsense quality of the day. Afternoon is when you may feel a disturbing trend to escapism or worry the strongest.

Entertainment will be mostly at home or close to it.

A tendency to be impatient could disrupt the even course of things, so it is well to calm down and slow down when getting ahead of yourself. Thinking of someone advanced, spiritually aware, and mature, a "leader on the inner roads," could help enormously. 

Thinking of someone who has passed from the earthly scene could be sobering yet uplifting, "a flag at half-mast." Or this could be yourself thinking "What would be thought of me if this exterior portion of me had gone?" Yet we do have certain prerogatives or privileges we ought not to neglect. 

Parents remain important throughout our lives, and attempts to "get right with them" in thought and spirit. We may think they don't approve of us, but they understand more than we realize. We may disapprove of some of their attitudes yet understand, somehow, their weaknesses. 

Politics is one area where people seem to be stabbing one another in the back. "An old door in which a dagger is stuck." The President tweets at someone and that someone tweets back. Some of that may seem entertaining, an Oval Office soap opera, yet it is also demeaning and we wonder when it will end. Meanwhile in our own lives we have to carry on, and seemingly fight battles (not of the flesh but of the spirit) in order to win our way, wondering if this will ruin our happiness. It need not if our conscience approves of our goals and methods.
