Moon in Taurus-->Gemini

One of the hardest things for us, including myself, is to be patient with any Dark Hermetic Epoch (this one from March 9 through May 2) because it seems to go on forever. Astrologers over the centuries have not been helpful in not recognizing this. I am the one who pioneered the knowledge and I say that not because of ego but because it is true, and 99 per cent of astrologers, or more, still do not know about or accept my discovery. But here it is, every day. We are wrapped in the past, trying to get over it, or something from it, and slowly groping toward something better, but feeling held back as if by rubber bands around our ankles. Anybody who says that I discovered the Dark Epochs because I like that situation doesn't know me! Like many, I have a birth horoscope which wants to be going forward rapidly. I feel these periods painfully.
However, I have to emphasize the good in them, the silver lining. Nothing that happens in the solar system is, or could be, inimical to the human race because the solar system is a creation of the Solar Logos (in Theosophical terms), that is, a hugely conscious being, way more conscious than any human being. It envelops and therefore "created," in a sense, all the motions and cycles of the planets including Mercury. We measure all that from the earth, because we live here. Mercury does go backward from our own perspective here. If you were on a boat lost on the ocean but could steer by the stars, would you want to know the positions of the planets and stars as they would appear from an observer on the sun? Would that help you? No, you would need to know their position from your own perspective on the boat so you could use them to steer by. Our astronomical boat is the earth.
And we have found, or I have, that the Mercury cycles are supremely important, partly because Mercury is the "patron saint" or maybe "Archangel" of the human mind.
What do we do during this long period (another two weeks) other than bemoan the slowness or intransigence of things? As I have often said, we can "mine" (or profit by) our past and our memories. One way this has been happening for me, this time, has been memories of old friends, some of them gone from this earth, physically; others whose whereabouts are unknown to me (can't find them online); and others whose relation with me has changed or grown stale so that they no longer wish to be bothered by me; and yet others whom I could contact, and I have done so with a few of them. But I find all of them coming into my internal vision frequently, whether lying down and resting or sitting and looking out the window or even while engaged in activities physical or mental. These are not ghosts but manifestations of the soul or causal body (in Theosophical terms), not spooky but angelic. They are your old friends or relatives at their best. It is wonderful to feel in contact with them, sometimes, and good to accept that rather than say "Oh, that person is long gone, why am I fantasizing?" This latter attitude could simply cut you off from a living, real, beneficent experience with the soul of someone you have cared about.
Another, more mental, way of doing something similar would be writing memoirs or recollections of events and people in your past. I have a feeling that none of us do that enough, except some professional writers, but journaling memories as well as daily experiences could be specially fruitful during any DHE. Or, one might just make a list of all the people who come to mind as specially significant in one's past, or even only interesting, with a brief comment about each. The past will not eat us up; rather, it could enrich us. It can clarify the present and lead happily into the future.
Thus endeth today's lecture on the DHE and its possible uses.
The Union Jack. (National flag of the U.K.) Supervision. s
A king sits upon a throne; behind him stands a figure veiled in black. Misfortune in height of career. Too apt to depend on own powers. Ambition leads to dangerous positions. At a weak moment, Collapse. b
A racecourse, the racers at full speed. A gambler, "bookmaker" or betting man. c
A jewelry shop. Preservation. s
A man of humble appearance, but much strength, felling a tree with an ax. Practical, aggressive, sometimes destructive. Finds success in simple persistent effort. Contends against obstacles, cuts out own part in life. Labor. b
A man in the midst of a lot of children at play. Simplicity of manner. Fond of children and childish amusements. c
A celestial choir singing. Veneration. s
A celestial choir singing. Veneration. s
I would guess 90 per cent of readers will think of someone in particular as the "king" threatened by the "veiled figure"; his sun is in Gemini, as is the moon today. But he has survived, so far, many such threats from "veiled figures" who have several names from both sexes.
As for how the symbol might apply to yourself, I leave that to you to figure out. No paranoia, please, but maybe circumspection.
The gambler risks a lot to gain more; the jewelry shop preserves what it has as does the purchaser of fine jewelry.
There is labor, and there is childlike play; the two symbols complement each other. When we get those in a good proportion, the celestial choir approves and sings out the glories of G*d and humanity.

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.
