Message for Friday 24 August 2018 (and Notes on Virgo!)

Moon in Aquarius

The sun entered Virgo late Wednesday-early Thursday (depending on time zone). 

It is a fascinating sign. Virgos have been among my best friends and I find them refreshing, honest, congenial, and considerate. Michael Cohen is a Virgo. You might want to take out the "honest" in that characterization, in his case! However, Trump found him honest at least in their own relationship and trusted him for many years. He was very loyal to his "superior," something Virgos are routinely, which is one reason it is the sign of "service" in some sense. 

Virgos often have large heads. I am not kidding. I do not know why this is so but I have seen it over the years. Two wonderful friends when I lived in New York City, one female and one male, were Virgos with large and good-looking heads. There is something imposing about them. Another friend in high school had the same image, large and impressive head. Michael Cohen also has that. It's one reason the newspapers like to post photos of him over and over. Photos and portraits of the philosopher Hegel (Virgo) show him with a large, imposing Greek head (though he was totally Germanic). The philosopher-king. 

Decades ago I read in a popular astrology magazine that often when a Virgo is born, the same mother will have one more child, and then no more. That makes Virgo the "penultimate" sign for mothers. I thought that this must be nonsense, but applied it to the Virgos I knew and it worked in every case. In one of those cases, the child born after the first Virgo was another Virgo, but then no more children. So today I looked up Michael Cohen's siblings and find that he has only one, Bryan, who is younger. That works. Wow, guys, I just checked for the philosopher Hegel! He had an elder brother, Taurus. Georg Hegel himself was Virgo. Then a sister, Christiana, was three years younger.  No more children in the family. It works in this case also. 

I give praise to the unknown astrologer who noticed this! Some of the best discoveries of patiently dedicated, inquiring astrologers are unsung, unnoticed and unappreciated. (Such as my discovery of the |karmically serious third| of each week and the Hermetic Epochs.) (Does anyone care about those? I don't hear from you so I guess you don't. Why am I writing for you?)

There may be something also about Virgos and Scotch. I would not go out on a limb with this, but my cousin Jim's drink when he went to a bar was always Scotch and soda. Jim was a delightful Virgo. Another younger Virgo friend liked Drambuie, which has a Scotch basis. Then, last night, reading about the amazing trial of Michael Cohen (Virgo) in which he pleaded guilty to trying to influence the 2016 election by paying off two women and implicated Trump as the one who commanded him to do that, I see that he told the judge, when asked, that the night before he had had "Glenlivet 12 on the rocks." There was much laughter in the courtroom. Glenlivet is a highly praised Scotch. 

If you say that I need more than three instances to show that Virgos often like Scotch, you are right, but this is a start, isn't it? Of course I also know Virgo individuals who drink no alcohol at all. In fact, the one who liked Drambuie is now a teetotaler and says he is better off that way. Cohen told the judge that he rarely had a drink. Virgo is often a sign of purity. Sometimes Scorpio can also be a sign of self-control and issues surrounding it. I have known two Scorpios (both had both sun and moon in that sign) who after being alcoholic went into rehab and became entirely "clean."  One was a bartender. Talk about self-control.

Friday:  People are spying on one another, not only in government circles. This could be as harmless as a little voyeurism or as serious as violating someone's privacy. Or it could just be the political parties reconnoitering in advance of fall elections. There could be gossip.

The symbol "Two men placed under arrest" is remarkable in view of what happened Tuesday to Manafort and Cohen. What it means for today I don't know except that there are consequences for bad behavior. The way out is to develop skills in seclusion.

Some who lack executive ability or any desire for it become poor as a matter of course and endure through cold, mathematical gravity, paying debts honestly and not expecting more. 

Charubel's symbol for Mars's position, "A man walking beside a cow, with his hand on her back, and bringing her home from the pasture at eventide" is disturbing because it was there also on Tuesday when Cristhian Rivera, who killed Mollie Tibbetts, was arrested, and he "had worked for years tending to dairy cows" according to the New York Times. The kidnapping and killing occurred "at eventide." Let's make that symbol signify something nicer today, such as being good to an animal or dependent person.
The co-ordinates of experience are alive and colorful as we pay attention to them, "A woman reading tea leaves." Life is a panorama of synchronicity.

People feel self-secure and self-sufficient, yet there could be entertainment and hospitality, a party. Luna trines Venus in evening hours. "A well-lighted house with open door."
