}Less Adventure = More Peace of Mind?{

Moon in Gemini

A man falling with upraised arms between the parting timbers of a broken bridge.  Beware of accident connected with water. Avoid hazards. Keep to broad highway of life, not isolated path.  Collapse.  b

A wreck floating on a peaceful sea.  The Fates seem unkind. Wreck of fortunes, or speculative adventure leading to ruin. Should go at a moderate pace and not rush to get rich. Keep to the common path to retrieve the family fortunes.  Salvage.  b

A ploughman engaged in the act of ploughing.  Steady, industrious. Maybe agricultural pursuits. Content to live by hard labor. A plodder.  c

A target.  Powers of concentration. Rivalism. Maybe a military man or good marksman.  c

The moon in her first quarter.  Fond of change; a speculator. Too sanguine in expectation, but mostly fortunate.  c

Tiny children in sunbonnets.  Innocence.  s

An Easter promenade.  Celebration.  s

The symbols carry out themes in the planetary patterns. Superficially there is upset related to Luna's opposition with Mars and concurrent squares with the sun, Mercury, Neptune and Venus. However, the last two of these aspects, which become exact in late afternoon and evening, can indicate pleasant events and connections even if not consummated in the way one might have hoped or fantasized. Luna square Venus is something like a flirtation or friendly link which lasts awhile but has dubious elements in it, so while both parties get a "high" from being together, ultimately they part, not with bitter feelings but with "Well, that was interesting but probably won't happen again." That could be the innocence of the "tiny children in sunbonnets." 

The first two symbols go along with the moon's square to all the Pisces planets. Not only is it a water sign but rules the ocean (and other bodies of water), and we have a warning about water, because of the man falling from the collapsed bridge; and then the wreck floating on the peaceful sea, perhaps indicating that whatever mishap we experience can be slowly and peacefully remedied. "Salvage" is a helpful keyword.

The man plowing suggests that we can avoid the mishaps by sticking with our ordinary dull duties as much as possible. Being a plodder is better than falling from that bridge, wherever one might think it leads. The Part of Fortune is in the fourth sector of Home, so perhaps we will be content with unadventurous domesticity and thereby avoid needless troubles. 

Then, however, the marksman aiming at a target lends us more energy; the plowman perhaps takes time off from drudgery to aim at something a little more interesting. "Rivalism" or rivalry goes along with Venus's almost-exact square with Mars, which can make us edgy to win out over a rival. Our ambitions surge back; we are "fond of change" but perhaps too sanguine, which harks back to the consistent warnings in the first three symbols to keep to the common path or broad ordinary highway. (That puts a rather wet blanket on "TGIF".)

Still, there can be the innocence and purity of the children in sunbonnets. They are happy whatever the day of the week, and are not hung up on strong desires leading into pointless or dangerous scenarios. 

The Easter promenade may be a little more self-conscious, yet is a celebration. I hope we all experience something wonderful to celebrate.

b: Signor Borelli, 19th century clairvoyant; interpreted by Sepharial who was Walter Gorn Old
c: Charubel, 19th century clairvoyant who was John Thomas
s: Sabian symbols which came through psychic Elsie Wheeler, interpreted by Marc Edmund Jones

The symbols and their interpretation are intended to apply basically during the hours from dawn to midnight. Often a planet will move from one degree to another during the day, so I use a time near mid-afternoon for all of them, so that they shall be exactly right during most, often all, of the daylight hours. The period from midnight to dawn could partake of the nature of either day or both.
