}Beyond Cruelty or Crisis to Dominion{
Moon in Gemini
(except for early hours after midnight when it is v-of-c in Taurus; see yesterday's report)
There are days when I wish I were not writing these reports, when the symbols for the day seem dreary or ugly. But I have seen the value of their indications repeatedly, and so continue. I am trusting in you to work with the clues and make up for what I am unable to say directly.
To begin, the warning indications. Again there is the danger of spilling things, fruit on the ground spilled from a broken pitcher. This could be indiscretion, or clumsiness, or impotent, vain pursuits which put one in the hands of someone who could be hurtful. That would lead to torture, or some sort of supposed punishment which is probably excessive or completely wrong. We ought to pray for an end to cruelty everywhere. May there be no cruelty in the mind and heart of humanity; may it be replaced with kindness everywhere. May this kindness extend to animals and to prisoners and to the impoverished. Lord, hear our prayer. (Of course, what makes the prayer even more effective is when we are introspecting to make sure we are not harboring cruel thoughts, words or acts consciously or semi-consciously. If we find them, we can "confess" them and ask that our hearts be purified.)
If we become concerned about things which need to be corrected, we can attain a peak of self-expenditure at a crisis point, illustrated by "A forest fire quenched." We need to beware of subtly delighting in some threatening calamity, because afraid to face and conquer it. That fire just needs to be stopped. We work with or alongside others and in a sense are "competing" in a friendly way with them, "Two men running a race."
When we get past a crisis point, we are like someone "in a garden, pruning some trees." 'Tis the season for gardening, for those who like it. That could be literal or metaphoric or both. The Empress of the Tarot cards seems prominent, "The figure of a woman holding a globe in one hand and a scepter in the other." She is queen of the natural world, dignified and conscientious, her calm mind fit for governing. Therefore she has Dominion.
