Weekend of March 28-29, and Coming Week:  The Pandemic and the Dark Epoch

About the only thing people want from me now is an answer to the question,  When will the pandemic end?  When will I be able to go back to work and play and restaurants and normal life?  It would be folly to claim that I have an answer to that.  Neither do the medical people and the epidemiologists.  I read what they are saying and of course they contradict each other to a large degree, because there are so many variables to take account of and apparently only G*d sees all of them (that is the Supermind of Sri Aurobindo).  

However, since 1979, and then since 1999 when I improved the method and the calculations, I have been teaching all who read these reports to take very seriously what I call the Dark and Bright Hermetic Epochs.  I am not going to explain all of that again right now.  I have been explaining it for the past two months in these daily and weekly reports.  The Dark Epoch is hard, for material affairs, though good spiritually.  It includes usually the same kinds of confusions, bollixed opinions, uncertainties, cobwebs in the brain, spiderwebs in society, that we have been suffering collectively.  This one began on February 2 and goes through March 29.  Here is the timeline:

DHE began Feb 2 --> (Mercury retrograde began Feb 16, ended Mar 9) --> DHE continues until March 30

Why is this Mercury cycle so important for humanity?  Study Sanskrit.  Man is the "manomaya purusha," the mental being, the mental individual or soul.  Mercury is, in astrology, the mind, that is, the thinking mentality.  We are identified with that form of consciousness, though there are others forms higher than that.  When Mercury slows down in relation to the sun, which represents as in a mirror the earth because it is the center of our orbit, people go crazy.  Yes, crazy, or so it seems to me.  Or, to be charitable, we are trying to manifest something higher than Mercury, our usual minds, because that is failing us.  So we don't know where to turn.  The answer would be, to the sun, Sol, the higher self which is omniscient and omni-competent.  How to do that?  We keep trying.  Some do it through prayer and meditation, which I recommend.  Others stumble on doing it however they may, doing it wrong if they depend on drugs and alcohol, and so on.  We have the freedom to do it our own way.  Why would the coronavirus hit the whole world during this particular DHE?  Because, first of all, seemingly ALL major tragedies or cataclysms or newsworthy and memorable horrid events occur at such times.  I cite the assassination of JFK, the attack on the WTC on 9/11/01, and now this pandemic.  There is much more for anyone who does the research.  The beginning of World War I (July-August 1914).  On and on.

So the DHE is a fact.  As to why it was a pandemic which hit this time, I cannot give an utterly confident answer, but there are clues.  Four planets were in Capricorn from February 16 through March 21.  That is a lot, a stellium.  Capricorn people are often wonderful, but planets in that sign in the transits can be very difficult.  It is the sign of Saturn, and Saturn has been there  in its own sign.  Now it is in Aquarius which is also its own sign (according to the ancients) and so still it "rules" all the other planets except Venus now in Taurus.  Saturn is the "big baddy" planet as everyone knows, but only because it brings out the challenges which we cannot rise toward, the tests we cannot always pass.  So we are being tested by Saturn during this Dark Hermetic Epoch.  Further, it is possible to say that Capricorn is the 8th house (death) of Gemini, the lungs, and Gemini is the 6th house (health) of Capricorn.  (Capricorn rules the skin and some have had skin problems or rashes during this period.)  A viral infection makes sense as one way this sign could manifest when it is challenging us.  

Well, it would be easy, and too facile, to say that the pandemic will end on March 30.  However, let us hope that we will see signs of its waning beginning then.  I posted this on my Facebook page today:  "Cobwebs, spiderwebs still in our faces.  Improvement during 3/30--4/6."  That is, the eight days beginning March 30 may be the transition period into the Bright Epoch (which technically begins on the 30th but based on lunar data could take a while to get going in a strong manner).  

Those 8 days happen to coincide, nearly, with the coming week, so that is my report.  I hope, but cannot guarantee, that we will see improvement on all fronts.
