\Wise Caution and Awareness Bring Opportunity/
Moon in Capricorn
|Karmically decisive third| of this week is with us (until Monday afternoon)
A chest floating on an open sea. Placid and calm, perhaps careless. Sacrifices much for comfort and peace of mind. But when opposed, capable of irresistible force. Indifference. b
A man sowing in the wind. Dissipation. b
A bent stalk bearing a full ear of corn. Good faculties and abilities but with too little courage and power of attack to make merit felt. Yet will express much and be appreciated. Bending. b
Cross-swords. At variance or involved in quarrels and broils. c
A man with arms folded, unmindful of danger; behind him an assassin with dagger. Beset by secret enemies, apparently for no reason. c
A squirrel hiding from hunters. Caution. s
A golden-haired goddess of opportunity. Reward. s
From past experience I would say that the "chest floating on the open sea" shows not so much total indifference as detachment in the Buddhist sense, or in the Hindu sense (vairagya), an ability to let things go if they are not spiritually important. That is a signal to the man sowing in the wind that he is wasting time and effort on something which will bear no fruit.
So then, it is better to turn to one's own "good faculties and abilities," and use or express them even if at first there seems no result. One is like a bent ear of wheat which looks like it will bear nothing but is actually going to bear a great deal, though unappreciated at first. One can "bend" humbly while getting more done than appears on the surface.
The next two symbols seem ominous, and that means we have to take them to a deeper level. Today is a |karmically intense| day so it is good to avoid quarrels which go nowhere or make things worse. We do not have to have "secret enemies" such as the assassin in the symbol if we take care of our karma as it comes up. "Karma" basically means work or duty which, if unfulfilled, brings unpleasant consequences. (The man about to be "attacked" is standing with folded arms, too confident that he has done enough, somewhat similar to the man sowing in the wind.)
The squirrel, it appears, is smarter than the man standing confidently with folded arms, because he knows things could go wrong and is hiding successfully from the hunters. It is not that we ought to be paranoid and hide under the bed but that wise discrimination will protect us from loss of time, money, or opportunity.
Then that "golden-haired goddess of opportunity" can bless us because we are not putting up any obstacle to the blessing, and we gain our reward without demanding it.

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.
