~Memorial Day~

Happy Memorial Day! And let us remember those who have given their lives in war, and all veterans. Some of us may not agree with all the policies our "commanders in chief" have pursued with military might (I vociferously opposed the Iraq war) but the men who had to suffer through them are not to be held responsible for those policies. I think of my Uncle Homer, who came home from World War II when I was about 6 years old, walking through a field of corn in his uniform to rejoin the family. I think of Evan Leddy, wonderful friend of the Higgins family and my dad, who suffered through that same war and lived on to be a remarkable, loving and beloved father and companion.
It's a holiday so I won't do a daily forecast. Here is the report for this current week of Saturday May 25 through Friday May 31:
~The Mysterious as Magnificent~
We continue with a happy Neptune degree suggesting that someone who has been ill in earlier years may recover later in life. May that be someone dear to you. Along with that goes the Saturn symbol, "A person ascending a spiral staircase with sunshine at the top, within a dark enclosure." This indicates someone busy through life but with small returns; nevertheless "good luck falls to his lot at the end of his days." It is always "the end of days" in relation to the past, so that means now.
Love and friendship seem better this week than last, even though there are peculiarities in the friend or loved one which make communication difficult. We may all seem peculiar to one another. So when we seek popularity (paragraph 2) we might be "barking up the wrong tree" or climbing up the wrong Maypole. Dear dear.
Further, when we talk about others we run the risk of being scandal-mongers or gossips. (Gee, I seem to have noticed such behavior online.) Charubel suggests that many will "delight in publishing what they know about everybody." This could be an amateur conductor of a newspaper or newsletter, like Freddy the Educated Pig who edited the Bean Home News. Or it could be the once-respectable NYT now degenerating into "defamation of character" on all sides. Or Breitbart or Fox News, but the villains are not all on the Right by any means, nor all on the Left. We have poor Assange besieged by what look like crazy legal troubles from all sides, because he did not keep his mouth shut, and I take no side on that because I have not studied it enough to do it justice. Of course Trump thinks he is being slandered, in return for his own slanders, and on and on. Charubel hints that we will have much more of that this week, like a bell tolling at the top of a tree.
Yet there is hope for cooperation. A man on a roof gets slates from another climbing up a ladder. They are "lovers of peace, and promoters of good works." Yes, let's have more of that. What can we do for our communities?
In lighter moments we can respond to the Uranus symbol, "Two men rowing in a boat for sheer fun" [my adaptation], and get into mild adventures for the pleasure of change and curious speculation.
The final indicators, for the sun and moon, are mysterious. "There is NOTHING connected with this degree. A blank. Some mystery here which I do not comprehend." What could I add to that? It would be sheer speculation. Something connected with friendship and love, I believe. Mercury's square with Neptune and opposition with Jupiter (this week) indicates mystery indeed, which some consider utter nonsense and others "very truth" (the "true believers" in some message or teaching). One can marvel how those with Mercury square or opposite Neptune in their birth-charts seem unable to discriminate truth from falsehood, or seem gullible as well as, perhaps, untruthful unintentionally (or, at worst, intentionally). Donald Trump is one of them. Yet they have their place in the cosmos. This week we might be prepared to expand our minds into the immeasurable or initially incomprehensible, rather than reject them out-of-hand and so perhaps lose a blessing in disguise. Some truths, or partial truths, seem like untruths until understood.
Then: "An occult degree. Someone sure to be possessed with strange influences. He or she will have a familiar or spirit companion and will be liable to obsession, the nature of which will be determined by his character." You may sense this in others, or/and in yourself. "Obsession" can be good, as in "a magnificent obsession." Demons and angels seem to vie for our loyalty. It could be a fascinating week.
