~Soberly Crafted New Year~

Moon in Cancer

|Karmically serious third| of this week continues until Tuesday mid-morning   * * * *

Changes or rearrangements in the home are likely. There is more of a focus on work and income than on pleasure, though it's a holiday.

Rituals of the material or the spiritual life, either religious or seemingly superstitious, may seem normal and needed. There is value in nurturing oneself or others in an intelligent manner rather than through extremes of diet or indulgence.

There could be subtlety and craftiness in pursuing designs, "A fox running apace in the moonlight.' Apportioning work between someone else and yourself is useful. Holiday fun is not totally absent, "Children playing around five mounds of sand."

A park or large yard plus a mansion give spaciousness to one's meanderings or thought-journeys. One has more room in which to dwell than one realizes at first. What are the potentials of human relations? "A woman charming snakes, one twined about her neck." Perhaps some jealousy, a desire to manipulate someone's feelings, or seductiveness in the background. Real love cannot be suspicious or poisoned.

The self-centered side of things is normal, for you are aware that you do some things better either alone or partially cordoned off from others, "An owl sitting in the moonlight." The New Year allows substantial freedom to be yourself.

I almost wish that there were some two-star and one-star days coming up because all the four-star days may make me look silly. Could things really be that good? We shall see. Sometimes long-term aspects will depress the ratings for weeks at a time, or raise them.  Note: I am not giving any five-star ratings until the Dark Hermetic Epoch ends on January 10. The other ratings remain the same, but the uncertainty in the DHE makes * * * * * unrealistic.
