Moon in Pisces

"In preparing for battle, I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable." --Dwight Eisenhower (quoted in USA Today and The Week)  Eisenhower was sun-sign Libra, an air sign and a cardinal one. It has to be up for immediate changes and crises and changes of plan. And is often excellent at that, although of course it could go wrong if too dependent on momentary "straws in the wind." The "indispensable planning," constantly alert, is the readiness of the cardinal signs (plus the fluidity of air in the case of Libra). The "useless plans" could be a vice of the fixed signs. 

"Even when all the experts agree, they may well be mistaken."--Bertrand Russell  (quoted in BlockIsland Times and The Week)  As they are in regard to astrology, of course!

You can't keep a good man down, but a good man is hard to find.

Misunderstanding of G*d, infinite and omnipotent justice and love, is the cause of all human misery.

Those who worship and adore themselves more than the Supreme (I have been guilty of it more often than I have acknowledged) are still caught in the coils of the false ego.

I don't read self-help books.  I read God-help books.

Wednesday:

I have noted in the past that squares to the planet Neptune can correlate to tiredness or extra sleeping. A friend said that he had trouble sleeping last night and needs to catch up however he can today. I also felt that way although I had slept well and just got up from an unexpected nap. The sun and Mercury are both exactly square Neptune. This might mean that subconsciously we are trying to connect with higher dimensions and the only way we know how to do that is in sleep, at this point in our human evolution. Being comatose for a while could be anastasis, resurrection. 

A man asleep in the heat of the day; some implements beside him.   Unsuccessful. Indolence, lack of interest and energy, prove the source of misfortune. Mid-life will be bright and happy; but dreaming when he should be working will make later life sorry.   Indolence.   b

A broken pitcher lying upon the ground with spilled fruit around it.   Unpractical, following vain pursuits of no lasting benefit. Loss of powers or faculties.   Impotence.   b   / These first two symbols present the familiar advice to keep on with work, as if our clairvoyant friends were workaholics and expected all others to be likewise. Well, if the shoe fits . . .  The squares of Mercury and the sun to Neptune, already mentioned, could act like "spilled fruit" if we get too indolent, as could the moon's presence in Pisces, sometimes sign of the dreamer, with Neptune. 

A woman awaiting a sailboat.   Equanimity.   s   / Here is a more appropriate Neptunian response. Who can argue with equanimity? And sometimes just waiting is better than futile hurried hustling.  This symbol is a dead ringer for the long-lasting Grand Trine in water signs. We feel sure that sailboat is coming.

A child born of an eggshell.   Essentiality.   s   /  'All can be done if the God-touch is there."  --Sri Aurobindo

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   Mars square Uranus, diminishing but still present, has been frankness toward friends and frenemies, but this has not been violent in most cases. Enthusiasm is good.

A square, containing twelve small squares, resembling the breast-plate of the Jewish high priest.   Reverential and devotional. Very secretive, a student of the occult, and one capable of mighty deeds as a magician.   c   /This takes Neptune to a surprisingly commanding level of potency.  Reverential magic is the highest.

A crown and sceptre.   Entitled to more than he possesses, and has powers of which he is unconscious.   c  /  I can't help mentioning that at a lower level this could signify the King-complex of Donald Trump. There was an opinion piece in the NYT saying that he thinks he is a king, now that he claims the power even to pardon himself. He became conscious of powers which perhaps the presidency has but which he hadn't exploited yet. However, let's take this symbol at a personal and happy level. Let it, and Charubel's interpretation, speak to you.

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.
