^Summoning Prudence^

Moon in Aries

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week continues till Tuesday evening

Squares between Mars and Mercury often signify cruelty, at the present level of humanity, or subconscious anger coming out in harshness. Like "a raven standing on a stone" we may be morose, secretive and misanthropic, or feel that from others. But strengthened individuality may also lead to deep thoughts and philosophic awareness, "three mounds of knowledge on a philosopher's head." 

There could be lustful, erotic or filthy propensities, "a naked man with a serpent coiled around the lower part of his body." The danger is that such desires seem harmless until fulfilled. "A watchdog standing guard" is not just outer protection as from community mores and laws, but internal probity gained through experience.

"A gold rush" could be good or pointless depending on the realism and prescience of the "rusher." Safer is long-term building up of prosperity as through gardening, farming, or wise investing. Work done patiently is fruitful.

Carelessness and self-indulgence are warned against, "a man sleeping on a bundle of clothes while wild animals threaten." And so one may lecture oneself as "a plumed warrior haranguing a multitude of soldiers." We need to remember our responsibilities on any |karmically challenging| day and persuade ourselves that carrying them out will make us happier than neglecting them.

P. S. The |karmically difficult third| of each week, as determined by the moon-Saturn relationship, was discovered and verified by me (and no one else) over the past decades. It is very serious. The world has been riveted on the horrible murder of Jamal Kashoggi on October 2. Here is what I posted on that day :

|Karmically serious or challenging third| of this week continues

until 9:29p PT | 12:29a(W) ET | 4:29a(W) UT |  (7:29 a.m. Wednesday October 3 in Turkey)

Kashoggi was murdered horribly on that Tuesday afternoon. The assassination of Kennedy and the bombing (or secretly controlled demolition) of the WTC also occurred during such periods. And much more, carefully observed by me. This is not to frighten you but to encourage you to consider what these periods mean for you when they come up, in your individual situation. "Probity" could be a keyword, meaning integrity, uprightness, honesty; and also not paranoid but intelligent caution.
