\Fulsome Vision and Higher Hope/

Moon in Taurus
|Karmically serious or sobering third| of this week continues until it ENDS at 12:42p PT | 3:42p ET | 8:42p UT  

Things are looking better. This happens to be the last day of a Bright Hermetic Epoch. The Dark or Slow Mercury (Hermetic) Epoch goes from February 2, tomorrow, until March 30, almost two months. These alternate regularly and we go through three cycles per year so if you are 40 you have already been through 120 Dark Hermetic Epochs. It is nothing to get worried about. It tends to be a more inward, withdrawn, spiritually alive time, which can be wonderful. That often corresponds with a lack of firm direction and oomph in outward business matters, so it has a reputation for being "bad" or "hard" really because these outer things seem less important at such times and one "flakes off" rather than keeping one's "nose to the grindstone." In an ideal astrologically-conscious world, employers and employees, business people, professionals and their clients, would know about all this and we could adjust our expectations accordingly. Accidents, tantrums, hurry-worry, and bitter feelings would be reduced. The world needs astrology. 

Otherwise, however, things do look as if they are improving. Just as there is the weekly |hard third| of each week because of our moon's relation to Saturn, so there is a four-times-annually "hard month" of about 34 days. We have left it today; it began on December 25. This means that in general there is less "karmic pushback" to your plans, hopes and intentions (until April 3) so it is easier to make wise decisions and keep up with the work needed to fulfill them. It can be a better time for sheer relaxation, social links, and fun when that is feasible. (If some of this seems to contradict what was just said about the DHE, well, they are independent variables and are both in effect this time around so one might say this DHE could be less stressful than many others.)

Saturday:  Keen observation and competence in judging things could be a gift you exploit.  You estimate potentials and dependabilities accurately. You might find that you feel content with your present lot, and relatively easy or smooth efforts you can make to improve it without rush.

Your home is elegant and inviting in many ways. You may have company, or visit someone else and enjoy the hospitality. A symbol we had recently returns, "A woman reclining upon a couch, scantily attired." I leave this to your interpretation. An innocent joy in the body is one possibility. Sensuousness is another, which does not have to diverge into grossest sensuality. 

"An ancient bas-relief carved in granite" fits nicely with Luna's position in Taurus today, making for a preponderance of planets (five) in earth signs. Our feet are on the ground and we know our foundations. Yet we realize that we can perceive these in a multitude of ways, through varying lenses, for differing purposes, and that makes life interesting: "A child and a dog with borrowed eyeglasses." We can examine our personal opportunities almost playfully through many levels of experience. Resulting depths of comprehension are both practical and fascinating.

P. S. I weigh and re-examine every word in these reports. That does not mean they are perfect but I believe re-reading them during the day, or late at night, or the next day, will prove revelatory.
