~Esoteric Adventure~

Moon in Pisces

|Karmically decisive third| of this week begins at 11:55a PT | 2:55p ET | 7:55p UT (until Monday evening)

/moon goes void-of-course at 2:15p PT | 5:15p ET | 10:15p UT

A jockey.  Practice.  s 

A sceptre surrounded by a crown.  Distinction; offices of power and influence.  Authority.  b

A man reclining on a rustic seat 'neath a shady tree; a ray of sunshine has fallen on him.  Will not have trouble; wealth flows to him. But he lives for himself and seldom benefits others.  c

A magician in his sacerdotal vestments, standing in a magic circle, performing some magic rites.  Fond of "Art magic" and ceremonial; perhaps credulous or superstitious.  c

An old man with a pack upon his back and a long staff in his hand walking down a hill.  Remarkable fortunes. Estranged from kindred at early age to follow an adventurous fortune.  Roaming and privation; resignation.  Remarkable powers.  Pilgrimage.  b

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

The Pyramids and the Sphinx.  Certification.  s

One might say that before the v-of-c time begins, "all systems are go," since we are in the exact center of a Bright Hermetic Epoch (the sun and Mercury are conjoined), in the first few days of a new lunar cycle, and the symbols are wonderfully friendly. Then in the v-of-c period one might question things or need some Saturday rest and recuperation or recreation.

So one might be the jockey during that earlier period. He is the most straightforward of the symbols, since it is easy to understand that, no matter the complexities of his art, his simple purpose is to train and ride a horse in order to win a race. Early in the day one might emulate him, deciding what one wants to do and if it involves others, or business, or shopping, get it done before the v-of-c sets in, coming round the curve for the home stretch in early afternoon.  One might also use that period for important planning. I often say that the center of the BHE, when Mercury is with the sun while going fast forward, is a good time to see steadily and clearly where one's immediate future is going or ought to go, and make some solid plans and write them down or otherwise fix them in memory. One is likely to be "on" at this time more so than in later weeks when Mercury is slowing down and moving away from the sun. 

Then we have the other fascinating symbols. This looks like a good day for a student of the occult arts or sciences, or for a student of anything unusual or "esoteric" in some regard.  I leave you to ponder them for yourself and let them suggest something interesting to you. 

The evening might be unpredictable yet not unhappy, just needing a bit of alertness and spontaneity to keep one interested in what might be happening. If one chooses to be the magician, one might escape into a fantasy world, maybe one of entertainment, the arts, music, drama, film, whatever makes one feel on top of everything like the magician with his artistic ceremony. 

If one chooses to be the old man on a pilgrimage, one is a bit more serious, following perhaps a lonely adventure of investigation and contemplation. 

At any rate the Pyramids and the Sphinx give a more or less material or structural certification of something remarkable you have experienced or found out. Some might consider it pure imagination but it is known to you as something much better than that, though you may not want to speak of it to anyone except in veiled hints.

Cosmic Piper

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.
