^Game with No Losers^
Moon in Cancer-->Leo
|Karmically serious or sobering third| of this week continues until 8:30p PT | 11:30p ET | 4:30a(Su) UT
/moon is void-of-course
until it enters Leo at 4:17a PT | 7:17a ET | 12:17p UT
"A general accepting defeat gracefully" is ourselves when we realize that if we lose some games of life we are winning others. Being graceful in defeat does more for self-respect and respect from others than would feeling resentful or angry. "An albatross feeding from the hand" is ourselves sensing that the needs of others around us are as significant as our own, and by attending or ministering to them we benefit ourselves, nurturing human cooperation and kindness.
Symbols and hieroglyphics cover the walls of a spacious hall, and we contemplate them. The ancient and mystical are good for us, taking us to a timeless realm wherein we can better cope with current temporal issues. "The constellations in the sky" likewise offer us surety by their permanence. Ancient companions, they give us orientation for sailing, or for life-choices through astrology, but never compel us or take away our ever-present freedom of determination.
We may feel some of the weight of the world because of the sun's very close conjunction with Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, but the |hard third| of this week is slowly fading and the moon in Leo is generally upbeat, so the final two symbols suggest game-like pleasures. "A game of cricket" connotes sportsmanship, playing in conformity to rules without personal whining or complaining. We become ourselves by being ourselves among other players. "A cup, a pack of cards, and dice" go even further into pure chance as well as skill so that we let ourselves face unkind or kind destiny with a smile. Gambling can be a vice but in its mild forms is merely a game. These symbols together suggest taking events and people as factors in a happy gambit or gambol, never disturbing nor threatening to any degree.
