Moon in Cancer-->Leo
/moon is void-of-course
until it enters Leo at 2:20a PT | 5:20a ET | 9:20a UT
The symbols for the day are mostly beautiful, and the lunar aspects promising. The dour note is Venus's square with Saturn, exact within two degrees and even closer tomorrow. This is the "nobody loves me" aspect because it makes for hyper-sensitivity about attachments, unions, and attractions. At best it can be shared sympathy, in the sense that sometimes "misery loves company." It could be the time for a heart-to-heart with someone, provided the potentials of hurting or offending are kept in mind and finessed sensitively.
"A golden ball suspended from the ceiling of a circular hall" is mystical and somewhat secretive, as if one had a subtle power over people, influencing them more than one realizes. Someone may charm you in the same manner. Someone "playing on a violin" connotes refined taste, generosity and intuition.
Innocence, plus "a full participation in everyday living," is shown by "Tiny children in sunbonnets." They get to play in "a fine chateau, with gardens and terraces." "A full-feathered peacock struts leisurely," and the children's parents are displaying luxurious habits somewhat snobbishly.
Yet Venus is square Saturn, and there can be melancholy and withdrawal, or else a "bad match" and a focusing of one's expectations upon someone inappropriate. And so being solitary is not so bad after all, as if one were "in the garb of a doctor of the monastic order." Intellectual and spiritual pursuits are fruitful. One searches for what is missing in ordinary life.
One might ponder the contribution of someone gone from this world, "A flag at half-mast." And one wants one's own reputation to be worthy of remembrance. Yet mingling with this serious strain is more of the childlike motif, "Children blowing soap bubbles." No matter what deep things we contemplate, we can maintain "a simplicity of character" which taps into "a transcendental magic of being." Life is enchanting, and so are we when we succumb to the the environing enchantment.
