~Self-Command and Command~

Moon in Pisces

The sun's square, opposition or conjunction with Saturn, four times a year, is always a challenge, a feeling that one has to live up to standards set either by others or by oneself.  And so it can be a feeling of failure coupled with a desire to do better.  It's exact within three degrees now and will be exact on Monday.  Some feel that their lives are hard and that there is nothing to do about it, like "a man wheeling a barrow load of earth over a hollow run" again and again.  Or if they rise to the occasion they may feel that they can ultimately "win the wheelbarrow race" or compete somehow for a better position in the world.  This is made easier by Mercury's exact sextile with Mars today, good for games or for competing in the game of life.   Because also Venus is trine Mars and sextile Mercury, this need not be at all a bitter, angry conflict but a smiling competition based on goodwill, trusting the outcome win or lose. There is always another game or race.  Meanwhile, techniques and skills can be practiced and mastered.

There are possibilities, for some, of secretive success which is rather crafty, "two wolves devouring a carcass in the moonlight."  This could be voracity and self-seeking,or, for the more mature, just enjoyment of something one has acquired honestly.  One does not always put one's motives and aims right out in front for everyone to see and this is not always dishonest but just prudent, a matter also of courtesy.  Privacy is sometimes letting others tout their hopes, plans and prowess rather than touting one's own.  When one is beyond the "wolfish" stage one performs community service as valuable both for oneself and the community.  

We have "a train entering a tunnel" and "an arrow in flight passing through a cloud of smoke."  These suggest that others, and oneself, may not be able to perceive exactly what is going on while one is intent on goals.  One may wonder if all is lost while in the tunnel or the smoke, yet eventually all is well.  There is light on the other side of the crisis.  What seemed inaccessible becomes accessible.  Charubel suggests that you could be "a true solar man" or woman, that is, shining by your own light on this final day of Aries, the sign of Sol's exaltation.  Ruling and commanding some factors in your world is your right.
