~Choosing the Reliable and Pushing Ahead~
Moon in Scorpio
< moon leaves the Via Combusta early at 3:18a PT | 6:18a ET | 10:18a UT
I have been crusading, alone, for 20 years, to get people to see that the |karmic or difficult third| of each week (moon in hard aspect with Saturn by 15 degrees) has more inclement weather, storms, snow, rain, clouds, but not one person or astrologer has acknowledged that I am right about it. This period was from Saturday the 28th at 1:27 a.m. PT | 4:27 a.m. ET until Monday the 30th at 1:06a.m. PT | 4:06 a.m. ET. That's when the big "historic" storms hit, and they are receding on Monday. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/09/29/snow-historic-storm-smashes-records-west/3812375002/
Also in the news was a suicide at the Grand Canyon. Yes, there are probably suicides every day but this one gained attention, and the moon was not only in the |difficult third| zone but in the Via Combusta on Sunday. I felt it as a depressing day. The Via Combusta is said to be experienced as "a loss of morale" and that is exactly what it was for me. I was trying to choose between two events to go to in the afternoon, and couldn't decide, so went to neither, and then by evening felt I had been seriously wrong not to go to one of them, as if I had failed certain people and myself. I made a mistake and it felt like a serious breach of conscience. I indulged myself and gave myself excuses. Albeit the forecast for the day had warned against that very thing.
And so I see these daily forecast-meditations as attempts by the human race, including me, to rise beyond our temporal confusion, our bondage to the mechanical aspects of the time-space continuum. "Bad" or difficult periods are there not just to test us but to help us "improve our game" by learning how to deal with them. All I can claim for these forecasts is that I am trying to be honest about how we might be able to do that, by giving the clues I am able to give. I find it helpful and hope you do too.
Tuesday: We are gifted with powers of criticism and analysis. What others do not see as dangerous we may divine as so, and give warning. Plus, on the other side, it would be well to heed someone who warns you in this way. All are "trouble-shooting." Yet at the same time we are hopeful and somewhat poetic, like "a bird welcoming the day-dawn with its song."
Impulses toward wandering, or moving, or seeking a frontier, could be like "sowing in the wind," leading nowhere and wasting time.
Carelessly dreaming of the past and future, while shirking present duties, is a temptation. There could also be a Don Quixote impulse toward being a gladiator, picking quarrels for the sheer joy of it. But self-command, or fighting wrong and irascible tendencies in oneself, rather than in someone else, could save the day.
Mars is now the Planet of Oriental Appearance, or the one rising just before the sun rises each day, and this is a "pushing ahead" syndrome. We want to exceed ourselves and others, to win whatever race we are running. How? Through knowledge, science, and fortitude. "A man gaining secret knowledge from a paper he is reading" is not learning something utterly new, but rehashing and rehearsing old discovered knowledge in the framework of the needs of his current situation. This makes it completely new. So while there is a sense of "crowding ahead" in a way somewhat uncomfortable, because it challenges one to catch on to things one didn't know before, this also can be rewarding. We can add to this a caring for others, a solicitude for their well-being as well as our own. Having faith in the friendliness of the universe and of human beings (despite the warning in the first paragraph after "Tuesday:" above) fosters a creative concern for all and this is ultimately fulfilling.
