\From Spoliation to Conquest and Kindness/

Moon in Capricorn

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week continues until early Saturday

(the theoretically most intense 24 hours of it ends at  5:52a PT | 8:52a ET | 12:52p UT; yet it may continue as intensely for some individuals)

/moon goes void-of-course at 8:38p PT | 11:38p ET | 3:38a(Sa) UT

Two bulls fighting.  Disagreeable, unsociable, a fault-finder. Doesn't talk without argument and doesn't' argue without losing temper; hypercritical.   c 

A young laurel tree, broken by the wind and withered.   Hopeful and honorable, full of projects for the future, but loses opportunities through misfortunes. Affections are sincere, but fate seems against him in this respect. Honors are snatched from him; the flowers of life wither in his hand.  Let him practice self-restraint and encourage contentment.   Spoliation.   b 

A man like a Hercules or Samson standing over a slain lion.   Tenacity and strength of purpose. By dint of extreme power, physical or mental, will over come his most terrible enemies. Much to contend with; encounters many dangers; but will finally overcome them. Yet softness and gentleness of manner, which induces some to attempt an advantage over him; but if they make sport with him they will rue the day.   Conquest.   b 

A performer of a mystery play.   Subtlety.   s  

Two men turning a handle of a crane from the jib of which a large chain is suspended, attached by a hook to a large stone.   Devoted to the study of Mechanics. Ever fond of experimenting in dynamics.   c

Boys and girls in gymnasium suits.   Animation.   s

A cup or goblet from which rays of ruddy light are emitted.   Kind and benevolent. Generous and humane disposition. Eager to befriend and comfort those in distress. The grandeur and spiritual loftiness of this soul attracts many friends. The work of charity and benevolence increases till it enfolds all mankind.   Humaneness.   b 

We go from the intense and dramatic--the fighting bulls, the broken laurel tree, the Samson who conquers his unjust enemies--all adding up to "a mystery play"--on to the mundane, the men experimenting with mechanics. (That might also be technology.) The girls and boys  too are engaged in ordinary formulaic "gym" activity, though with animation. The goblet, emitting ruddy light in the grandeur of spiritual loftiness and benevolence, is a fitting reward for our hopes and attempts, no matter how fumbling they be at times.

\Human Becomes Humane/

Moon in Sagittarius-->Capricorn

/moon is void-of-course

until it enters Capricorn at 2:28a PT | 5:28a ET | 9:28a UT

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week is with us until early Saturday morning

The center of that period is today at 5:52p PT | 8:52p ET | 12:52a(F) UT

and so the most difficult 24 hours of the week from this perspective would be from 12 hours before until 12 hours after that minute.

A dais on which is set a throne, on the cushion of which a dog is lying asleep.   Idle habits. Work and care are foreign and distasteful. Will, whether by watchfulness force or strategy, attain to a good position and hold offices for which he is not qualified. Often a mere charlatan. Hides under a passive and indifferent exterior a vicious and spiteful nature.   Usurpation.   b

Two bulls fighting.  Disagreeable, unsociable, a fault-finder. Doesn't talk without argument and doesn't' argue without losing temper; hypercritical.   c

A triangle, whose base-line is three-fourths the length of one of its sides, having a small circular figure at the extremity of each of the angles.   An extraordinary character, not easily understood. He appears destitute of that force one would suppose he possessed. Some defect in the outward organism which impedes development on the outer plane. Of this he is conscious. Therefore a little deceptive. An eminent financier. Shrewdness, the leading trait in a man of the world. Lacking in the moral or religious principle.   c

A performer of a mystery play.   Subtlety.   s

A group of vagrants or gypsies, seated around a cauldron in which food is preparing.   A person of alien type, whose fortunes will be fickle and whose happiness will be centered in his family. Sensuousness; excess in the satisfaction of the appetites. Will leave native land and wander over the world, never satisfied with things as they are. Ever seeking, will leave many golden opportunities behind.   Excess.   b

A group of people who have overeaten and enjoyed it.  Satiety.   s

A cup or goblet from which rays of ruddy light are emitted.   Kind and benevolent. Generous and humane disposition. Eager to befriend and comfort those in distress. The grandeur and spiritual loftiness of this soul attracts many friends. The work of charity and benevolence increases till it enfolds all mankind.   Humaneness.   b

This most difficult day of the week, from some viewpoints, has appropriate symbols. You may be sure you are not a "mere charlatan" but you might wonder sometimes if you are hypocritical; or you will see this in someone important to you. (I knew someone who had the "dog on a throne" symbol prominent in his birthchart and he indeed carried out the interpretation of that symbol to a T. Still, he was a friend.) 

The peculiar character who is shrewd but "lacking in the moral or religious principle" is similar; and his worldly success would fit with the moon plus Saturn in Capricorn, sometimes a signal of worldly but soul-less success. Yet all participate in the "mystery play" that is our world. The vagrants around a cauldron are the opposite of the businessman, leaving golden opportunities behind for a momentary taste of sensuousness. That is reflected also by the more respectable group of people who might look down on the vagrants but have also enjoyed overeating. When people get irritated by one another's contrary life-styles they might fight like the two bulls, turning hypocritical into hypercritical. 

The final symbol suggests a transcendence of the preceding. The shrewd businessman becomes a philanthropist. The gypsies or vagrants may receive largess from a generous humanity, yet they too are human and can be kind and generous in turn. Thinking of it all as "a mystery play" might help us meet challenges with poise and nobility.

 ^Contemplative Freedom Within Harmony^ 

Moon in Sagittarius

/moon goes void-of-course at [11:27p(Tu) PT] | 2:27a ET | 6:27a UT

until it enters Capricorn on Thursday at 2:28a PT | 5:28a ET | 9:28a UT

It's a totally void-of-course day, which means freedom on one hand, and chaos on the other. So we need to use our freedom to maintain enough order so that the chaos does not ruin anything. Then we can also enjoy the freedom, the moments or hours of liberty we snatch from the jaws of grim duty! Or, if we are rising above that duality (as we are supposed to do in the spiritual life) we may feel we are coasting freely while doing what needs to be done responsibly, as well as when we choose sheer entertainment.

A wonderful Grand Trine in water signs among Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune is a real rarity! I am not sure how we can take advantage of it, but here are clues:  It is spiritual. It is lovely. It is loving. It is sympathetic. It can be cozy. It opens doors into other lives. It thrives on and facilitates harmony. It is artistic, and creative in a gentle unpretentious manner. 

Two bulls fighting.  Disagreeable, unsociable, a fault-finder. Doesn't talk without argument and doesn't' argue without losing temper; hypercritical.   c

A performer of a mystery play.   Subtlety.   s

A very old man facing a vast dark space to the northeast.   Sanction.   c 

A red flame, ascending upward to a great height.   Denotes a person possessed with ardent desires. An enthusiast to the cause he espouses. A true friend and an open enemy.   c 

A monster plant of the gourd tribe, arising spontaneously from beneath the soil; growth is in the act of taking place before my vision.    Mighty energies. Fortune in life is of rapid growth. What he or she engages in will succeed as if propelled by magic power. Exuberance should be tempered with cool and deliberate reflections.   c

A woman of pleasing appearance stands offering a glass of some fluid to a child.   Kind and sympathetic, willing to help the sick and needy. Knowledge of human nature, and of arts and sciences, thorough and well used. Gentle, benevolently hopeful and inspiring, disposed to self-sacrifice.   Healing.   b 

A bunch of spring flowers, over which is set a bright star which flashes and sparkles in a deep blue atmosphere.   Practical and gentle disposition, fond of sublime subjects and the study of nature in its gentler phases. May be a botanist or astronomer. Will rise to a good position and marry a person of high rank or fame, perhaps in a family devoted to the fine arts.   Success.   b

The bulls fighting could be the final surge of the Mars square Uranus aspect which has been with us in a fairly strong way since May 5. It does give energy but needs to be mollified or directed non-angrily. Then the mystery play's subtlety is an opposite tendency, turning conflict into subtle spiritual understanding. As "the old man facing a vast dark space" we may consider what our life is adding up to. (Interestingly, the Koreas are to the northeast of much of the rest of the world.) 

The red flame and the monster gourd are signs of strength and enthusiasm. The final two symbols fit happily with the Grand Trine discussed above. I leave you to contemplate their beautiful significance for your life.

{Wednesday}  ^Contemplative Freedom Within Harmony^

Cosmic Piper

It was a vain unnecessary world

Whose will to be brought poor and sad results

And meaningless suffering and a grey unease.

Nothing seemed worth the labor to become.

But judged not so his spirit's wakened eye.

As shines a solitary witness star

That burns apart, Light's lonely sentinel,

In the drift and teeming of a mindless Night,

A single thinker in an aimless world

Awaiting some tremendous dawn of God,

He saw the purpose in the works of Time.

^Knowledge and Enthusiasm Triumphant^ 

Moon in Sagittarius

A cherry tree in full blossom.   Very precocious, with early promise of genius. May decline.   c   

A council of ancestors.   Antecedence.   s  

One hand slightly flexed with a very prominent thumb.   Determination.   s 

A labyrinth, situation in the heavens, and a fine silver thread suspended from it to the earth.   A peculiarly constituted mind. Will engage to do what the majority of mankind would have no patience to do. A talent for propounding and solving conundrums; solving enigmatical problems or any given theorem requiring solution. 

A caduceus between two moons, one crescent and the other gibbous.   Extreme capacity in the pursuit of knowledge. A penetrating mind and retentive memory. Will accomplish wonders in the pursuit of the subtle sciences. Changeful like the moon; subject to fits of hope and despondency in rapid alternation. Likely to travel much and be subject to changes of fortune. Versatility and aptitude in gaining knowledge. The symbol of Hermes: a linguist, doctor, or distinguished scholar.   Knowledge.   b

A red flame, ascending upward to a great height.   Denotes a person possessed with ardent desires. An enthusiast to the cause he espouses. A true friend and an open enemy.   c

The figure of a woman holding a globe in one hand and a scepter in the other.   Wide knowledge and power; a position of importance; a mind fit for governing, and a position of security after middle life. Some pride and self-love, but dignity, conscientiousness, and self-reliance.   Dominion.   b  

There is nothing upsetting in these symbols, which is a rarity. They seem to reflect the moon's presence in Sagittarius, a sign of knowledge and the confidence stemming from it. I will leave you to delectate upon their glory and consider them reflectively for your needs.

~Toward Acquiescence in the Past and Present~ 

Moon in Scorpio-->Sagittarius

/moon goes void-of-course at 10:26a PT | 1:26p ET | 5:26p UT

until it enters Sagittarius at 3:30p PT | 6:30p ET | 10:30p UT

The difficult aspect Venus opposite Saturn has been with us during all of the holiday weekend as well as today. It is appropriate in connection with much which happens on Memorial Day weekend, for Saturn is the old or elderly, among other things, and those who have suffered or are suffering, including those of course who died in the course of military service. Venus is love in a broad sense, so we are encouraged to remember and uptick our love for such individuals. The Venus-Saturn hard aspects also bring out family relationships, because often those are based partly on a sense of duty (Saturn) as well as love (Venus). "Oh what a drag to have to be with Mother and Dad when I'd rather do something else!" is perhaps the worst of it. But then on second thought one may realize that these are the people who mean the most to one and one must make the best of it, for without them one would probably be more unhappy than with them. If that sounds somewhat callous, well, that is only the way we perceive it when we have not learned the lessons of Saturn.

A house on fire at night-time.   Rash and warlike, inclined to destruction. Apt to stir up disputes among others and bring desolation upon himself through a false sense of security. Domestic life full of turmoil.   Strife.    b 

A dagger lying beside a skull.   Fatal tendencies, destructive to a degree, or inclined to cruelty and oppression. Will need to hold passions in strong check or some fatality will come upon him. Melancholy and taciturn; yet silently discerning, and capable of keen feelings. "It makes not but it mars . . ." The end of life could be tragic.   Undoing.   b 

A council of ancestors.   Antecedence.   s 

A large office, and a man sitting at a desk, writing in a large book resembling a ledger.   Good practical abilities, especially adapted for commercial pursuits.   c

A Chinese woman nursing a baby with a message.   Materialization.   s

A cherry tree in full blossom.   Very precocious, with early promise of genius. May decline.   c  

A girl's face breaking into a smile.   Acquiescence.   s

The dagger and skull, suggesting that "the end of life may be tragic," applies of course to many of those we memorialize today. May they be blessed wherever they are in this infinite universe of everlasting consciousness. They are part of the "council of ancestors" whom we remember and celebrate, military and non-military, family and friends. 

The first two symbols are the warnings against letting the final day of the holiday weekend degenerate into conflict. The moon in Scorpio opposite Mercury could accentuate such, along with the Venus-Saturn opposition already discussed and the square between Mars and Uranus. However, there is much good background support in trines and sextiles, including a Grand Trine in water signs, which makes for subtle emotional understanding among diverse individuals.  The final five symbols should bring this out in happy ways.

~Out of Nothing, Blossoms and Sparkles Forever~

Moon in Scorpio

< moon in the Via Combusta until 10:49a PT | 1:49p ET | 5:49p UT

There is NOTHING connected with this degree. A blank.   Some mystery here which I do not comprehend.   c

A large diamond not completely cut.   Latency.   s

A woman the father of her own child.   Nucleation.   s

A cherry tree in full blossom.   Very precocious, with early promise of genius. May decline.   c

A council of ancestors.   Antecedence.   s

A peaceful valley; a lake upon which a swan is floating. At the back rises a high mountain.   A generous, kind nature, full of contentment and quiet happiness. Few sorrows; peace in relations. Passive, calm, thoughtful mind; manners courteous and body elegant. Strong memory.   Peace.   b 

A wide-spreading oak tree, around the roots of which are many young shoots, while the birds of the season sing among its branches.   Steady, strong, and reliable. By industry comes at length to the fruits of labor. In the autumn of life will be surrounded by the most grateful evidences of its own energy and perseverance. Sustaining itself while affording shelter and comfort to others among both kindred and strangers. With integrity and competence go honor and esteem to enrich a good old age.   Fruitfulness.   b

The diamond not completely cut has to have NOTHINGNESS put into it, as it were, to make more facets. That is its mystery. NOTHINGNESS also appears to be the father of the child the woman raises in her two-member "nuclear family."  The cherry tree in full blossom might decline into nothing, but blesses the world while it lasts. When we are weary of nothing we turn to the something which has borne us, the "council of ancestors," our antecedents.  They dwell in a peaceful secret valley and are our sustenance as we grow up into a wide-spreading oak which lasts forever and provides shelter, comfort, and infinite latency to those younger.

< moon is in the Via Combusta all day

The |difficult third|| is gone and Luna is forming a trine with Venus and sextile with Saturn, so this could be a nice, accommodating day within the holiday weekend, perhaps even the best of the three. The square with Mars gives energy and perhaps some disagreements but need not be serious.

(I invite you to consider the first four symbols in yesterday's [Friday's] report [the day he was arrested and in court and offered bail] in connection with the arrest of Harvey Weinstein. Do they fit? I think they do spectacularly. Add to them today's first symbol for good measure. Also, the tiny nude miss reaching for a fish is relevant, for Weinstein is a Pisces! [fish]. It is usually a wonderful sign, but in this case it went wrong. Its tendency to secrecy, perhaps, can be a pitfall.)

A woman stands holding a book in one hand and a pair of scales in the other.   Learning, sound reason, dispassionate judgment, and elegant manners; but cold and impassive. Success in duties and profession; famous, but not popular.  Rich and long-lived.  Judgment.   b 

A woman the father of her own child.   Nucleation.   s 

A promiscuous lot of creatures, consisting of cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry.   Domestic pursuits. Partial to domestic animals, more as pets than as means of profit.   c

A little village lying in a fertile valley.   One whose heart is full of native goodness, whose hand is set to great work in modest ways, and whose patience and humility will bring his or her work to perfection.   Little aggression or self-assertion. Like the valley, fruitful in good things because of lowliness, while surrounding high peaks of mountains are barren. Though never famous, always successful, even beyond her or his modest, steadfast ambitions.   b

A Hindu healer.   Therapy.   s 

A tiny nude miss reaching in the water for a fish.   Inclination.   s 

The letter T or the Tau.   One whose inner nature few understand, and who will never be popular in this century; one outwardly a babe, but inwardly a giant---"of such is the kingdom of heaven."   c

There are no upsetting symbols today, going along with what was said above from considering the daily aspects. Let the symbols speak out as you "reach for the fish," or fresh experience and insight,  with lack of inhibition and curiosity.

< moon in the Via Combusta (possible loss of morale, or doubt, or a cosmic reshuffling)

|Karmically difficult third| continues until  5:46p PT | 8:46p ET | 12:46a(Sa) UT 

The big weekend should get under way more happily on Saturday through Monday than today. 

Trump's canceling of the much-heralded meeting with Kim Jong Un was within the |difficult third| of this week, appropriately. 

A battered hulk lying upon the seashore.   Battered by winds of adversity. Misery and abandonment. Wandering and rudderless drifting upon troubled waters. Fortunes in danger of ruin. A derelict from the great sea of life.   Abandonment.   b 

Two men standing in a wood in the act of fighting a duel. Between them lies a rich purple and gold venture and a casket of jewels.   Jealous and warlike, winning a competence for himself by great hazards. Makes efforts at gaining wealth and position, but meets opposition and will either succeed or perish in the attempt.   Chance.   b

A dove lies upon the ground, while over it a snake is poised in an attitude of attack.   Capable of extreme self-indulgence and license; apt to succumb to worldly seductions. This influence may destroy domestic happiness and fracture marital relations. One's fate hangs upon the nature and influence of a subtle fascination or secret attachment.   Self-Abandon.   b

A person of good proportions; fine dark eyes with arched eyebrows.   All-round person. Whatever he or she takes in hand will be accomplished most efficiently.  Neat in attire, orderly in business, and methodical in mental pursuits ; a good reasoner; proud, and a little selfish.   c 

Rabbits dressed in clothes and on parade.   Appropriation.   s 

A Hindu healer.   Therapy.   s 

The letter T or the Tau.   One whose inner nature few understand, and who will never be popular in this century; one outwardly a babe, but inwardly a giant---"of such is the kingdom of heaven."   c

Somehow the symbols call up to me a gambling casino. Maybe some are spending their weekend in such a venue, or just are feeling as if they were in one, with a little playfulness or willingness to take a risk. But I probably should say "be careful" because of the |difficult third| plus the Via Combusta. Anyway, I leave the symbols to you; they should speak to your intuition. We may gain much by the simplicity and the therapeutic purity of the "babe inwardly a giant" and the Hindu healer, if we let their qualities reflect in us.

}Prodded (?) toward Ascension{

Moon in Libra

|Karmically difficult third| of this week continues until early Saturday

The most intense moment of it, technically, is today at 2:28p PT | 5:28p ET | 9:28p UT  

What happens within a few hours (either way) of that time may be a clue to what is troubling you and how to overcome it spiritually. Prayer toward understanding the Divine Plan is important.

An iron gauntlet, a sword, and a scourge lying together upon the stump of a tree.   Strong personality, but tyrannous. By force of aggression or arms will press forward insensible of others' merits or feelings. A strong hand but frequently unjust or cruel, especially when opposed. Called a "bully."   Self-Assertion.   b 

A battered hulk lying upon the seashore.   Battered by winds of adversity. Misery and abandonment. Wandering and rudderless drifting upon troubled waters. Fortunes in danger of ruin. A derelict from the great sea of life.   Abandonment.   b

A profile, with only one eye in view.   Great powers of perception. Active, sharp intellect; an exact or accurate observer of men and things. Would make a good detective; a practical mind; no mere theorizer.   c

A man dressed like a Minister of State, of venerable and kindly aspect.   A person of kind and noble disposition, who will occupy positions of trust and, by his merits, rise to eminence in his sphere of work.   Dignity.   b  

The letter T or the Tau.   One whose inner nature few understand, and who will never be popular in this century; one outwardly a babe, but inwardly a giant---"of such is the kingdom of heaven."   c

A Hindu healer.   Therapy.   s

Two fairies on a moonlit night.   Ascendancy.   s

The symbols are arranged in a fascinating hierarchy from most gross to most subtle. The tyrant (first) and the "battered hulk" (second) are positive and negative evil, discomfort or error, one too aggressive and one too passive. The sharp observer or detective perceives the problems of both accurately. Then at his best he can become the venerable and kindly minister in a position of trust and dignity. 

Beyond him in the  scale is one who is outwardly a babe but inwardly a spiritual giant. At his best he can be a healer of both physical and moral dis-ease, whether he be Hindu or otherwise. Finally we rise to a spiritual realm symbolized by the fairies in the moonlight, ascended beyond prior concerns into blessed liberation.

We need this kind of transition to get above the usual worries accentuated during the |challenging or more painful third| of this week on its most intense day.

A deserter from the navy.   Defiance.   s 

A warrior in bright armor with drawn sword, pursuing a savage multitude.   One with great occult ability, and who has a mission to accomplish; a White Magician!  Go and conquer.   c

A troubadour stands with one foot upon the ledge of a rock, his instrument slung at his side; he is listening to the music of a cascade which falls at his feet.   Bohemian habits, refined tastes, a love for things beautiful, music, poetry, art.  A roaming life; happiness but not fame. Talented. Content in the possession of his powers, thinking too little of their wider uses.  Strong imagination, love of the marvelous, sensitive to the opinions and influence of others.   Harmony.   b 

A tremendous Corinthian pillar, with a large amount of earth, buildings and rocky ramparts resting on it, and which appears to be the only support of the massive superstructure.   A strong character--both physically and psychically. May cut a prominent figure, as the founder and supporter of some gigantic scheme or organization. An important position in life attended with great responsibilities.   c

A woman clothed in gaudy apparel, plays with some jewels in her lap.  Wasteful and unpractical, yet gifted with savoir faire and knowledge of human nature. Inclined to habits of excess. Fond of dress and ornamentation; fortunate in acquiring wealth but not in its right use. Good-hearted but foolish and extravagant. Prone to externals and outward show   Semblances.   b

A female in the state of nudity.   Voluptuous, liable to be carried away by the lower passions.   c 

Game birds feathering their nests.   Meticulousness.   s

One thing which made me give up a daily "rating" for each day was the combinations of factors which are unusual and rather unpredictable. Today the v-of-c moon could be taken as a warning to be careful, and yet Luna while v-of-c is moving toward good aspects with the sun and Mars, a grand trine. So I would expect today to be somewhat "better" from a usual viewpoint than Thursday even though the moon is v-of-c, because on Thursday also the |difficult third| is more intense. Today's symbols point to pleasure and entertainment, to some degree, yet also to serious accomplishment or reveling in past accomplishments. Let's be quiet, easygoing and unruffled.

{Wednesday}  /Plateau of Accomplishment Plus Ease\

Cosmic Piper

P. S.  The |difficult or challenging third| of this week is here.  

It begins Wednesday at 11:38a PT | 2:38p ET | 6:38p UT

and lasts until Friday at 5:46p PT | 8:46p ET | 12:46a(Sa) UT

The center of it occurs Thursday at 2:28p PT | 5:28p ET | 9:28p UT (see what happens near this time) 

and therefore the 24 hours girdling it (probably more intense than the earlier and later hours) are

PT: 2:28a Thursday to 2:28a Friday  | ET: 5:28a Thursday to 5:28a Friday  |  UT: 9:28a Thursday to 9:28a Friday

That is, this could be the most difficult 24 hours of the week from one perspective.

HOWEVER, if you have something important planned for that time, do not despair; just be ready for people's sensitivities and handle them with finesse, and be reasonably careful about all matters. Try to control or modify your own moods toward hopefulness and cheer. What you meet then may be good yet challenging, so if you come through it smoothly you will have gained something important. OR, if certain things seem impossible then, it might be wise to postpone them. Routine duties, prayer, and meditation are always good.

"God created man to express Him in the manifest world.  We are the outlet of a mind that seeks an adequate expression."  --Charles Fillmore

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.
