~Masterful Success Comes Slowly~
Moon in Cancer
|Karmically serious or sobering third| of this week continues (until early Friday). It is at its peak this afternoon and evening, so we need to be aware of moods swinging toward depression or despair, and prevent that if we can. (We have made mistakes but do not have to do that in the future or carry them as an endless burden.)
By being patient and thrifty much slow success is feasible. Still, one might feel active, restless, and self-willed, with Luna conjoined to Mars. And so one may not appreciate what one has amid eagerness to do something hasty and superficial.
Therefore it is good to calm down and take the long view, even the eternal one: "A very old man facing a vast dark space to the northeast." One finds in the invisible a sanction for one's souls deeper purposes.
Those could involve secret knowledge, not that one wishes to hide it but that it cannot be conveyed easily to anyone. "Two triangles interlaced, with a third superposed" is a degree of Mastery. Both the Jews and the ancient East Indians (much earlier) adopted the six-pointed star, or interlaced triangles, as a sacred symbol. This might have some literal application, or some mystery connected with six or nine, mathematically or geometrically, might be fruitful. (Push seven marbles or coins or oranges together and see what happens.)
Brilliance of a mental sort does not necessarily lead to wisdom. There could be confusion by trying to study or absorb too much in an unintegrated manner. Too many books or too many open tabs. This could be vexation--maybe while chasing pointless details something burns on the stove!
Contrasted with that approach, "A Native American woman selling beads" just focuses in a detached way on her vocation, not fussing but waiting for someone to come along and buy a necklace or bracelet. Someone always does. No hurry, no worry.
Still, she might some day find a vein of gold when prospecting for natural materials to use in her beads: "An alchemist at work in his laboratory. Upon his table is much gold." Or that could be you. By industry or invention you succeed in an eccentric vocation even beyond your hopes.
