~Reposing Upon the Possible~
Moon in Pisces
Symbolic warnings of possible calamity or accident coincide with today's exact square of Mars with both Venus and Neptune. This has a flavor of "pursuit of the unattainable" and so we should be content with what we have or can easily gain rather than stretch ourselves beyond our current powers and circumstances. Doing that could end in bitter disappointment. If we see that our limits are temporal ones---shall last for a time until we shall be released into a chance for better things---we will not ruin anything by impatience.
One of Charubel's symbols points to "an Eastern city, Constantinople." This was once Byantion or Byzantium, then was named Constantinaple after the Christian emperor Constantine, then was changed to Istanbul which according to some (but not others) could mean "plenty of Islam" as if to exorcise Christian influence. And so this might be an indication of the persisting rift between Christian or secular nations on one hand and Islamic ones run by Mullahs or Caliphates on the other. Another symbol for the same degree is "an Easter sunrise service" and so perhaps there is hope for a resurrection of humanity itself out of harsh religious constraints on any side. We await that, and I hope not for another whole century. Some of what Mars square Neptune can mean is adherence to a spiritual leader who is militant in nature, even if his ultimate goal be peace.
Then there are those who look beyond politics into the sky, "an astrological chart in square form." I have been studying the chart for the next Hermetic Epoch---a Dark or Slow one---which begins February 2 and lasts through March 29. My aim was to see what I could about this important phase of the Democratic primary season. The essence of my conclusion is: Nobody will be happy! That is, it does not appear that any candidate is going to get overwhelming approval from the Iowa caucuses (February 3), the New Hampshire primary (February 11) and Super Tuesday (March 3, when fourteen states including California will vote). Who might come out on top? My quick (by no means exhaustive) astrological survey suggests Elizabeth Warren might do best, in some way, or at least exceed expectations for her, while I do not see a groundswell for any other candidate, neither Bernie Sanders nor Joe Biden nor any of the others. What will happen after the end of this Epoch on March 29? I have not done the very complex charts I have been researching for these periods, as yet. I realize that the pollsters are putting Warren behind both Biden and Sanders at this point. Maybe they are right. Maybe I am. It is interesting. I am not PREDICTING that Warren will get the most votes, just suggesting that she might be an ultimate beneficiary of whatever happens during this period. By no means should predictive astrology be judged by this slight effort---I have not done the immensely complex calculations for all the candidates which would be required for an exhaustive projection, nor have I even looked beyond March 29.
Last, we have "a brilliant violinist" who may be releasing into the ethers "the music of the spheres." This could be Luna, Venus and Neptune together in Pisces, the other-worldly sign. Three individuals who, born with the moon in Pisces, have embodied ineffable symbol-powers are Martin Luther King Jr., Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson. In very different ways each embodied a "dream" which many find, or found, uplifting and inspiriting.
