^Varied Truths as Re-Creative Aspiration^
Moon in Leo
|Karmically serious or sobering third| of this week continues until early Friday at 3:29a PT | 6:29a ET | 10:29a UT
Being useful is not the same as being ambitious. The former is recommended for now. We are still in the |difficult third| of this week which wants us to focus on chores, but the mood lightens as the day progresses into Luna's sextile with Venus in the evening. One may feel content with doing those usual tasks well with no hullabaloo. Yet at the same time one could be visualizing the future along lines of one's desires, as if "window-shopping." Things at a distance now unattainable yet could inspire one to keep going in the hope of acquiring them some day.
High aspiration is one thing, and recreation is another. Both are favored. "A mountain pilgrimage" is a long trek requiring patience, holding on to ideals through sheer faith plus persistence. One's ultimate course asks for unquestioning devotion. It is not vain to be climbing toward those peaks. On the other hand, it is not vain to enjoy some recreation as if on "a rug placed on a floor for children to play." Comfort and convenience lead to leisurely recreation which refines one's manners and ways of interacting with fellow "children" in the romp of life. At some point the "pilgrimage" can re-begin, refreshed by the playtime.
Venus's square with Neptune can bring out vivid dreaming, or psychic phenomena. Sometimes the two are one. It is not always obvious when a dream is just a creation of one's subconscious and when it is "veridical," linking one to real beings on other planes of consciousness. I like to think that the latter happens more often than we realize. I have been reading about Cagliostro and his occult adventures, which exalted him but ended tragically (so far as we know). The Neptune vibration creates hopes which some call false, others call true and inspiring, such as the story that Cagliostro escaped from the dungeon into which the Inquisition had thrown him, to turn up in Russia as a miracle healer once again. I hope that is true. Like much else about his life, the details are hard to verify, and that again is the Neptune vibration. It can be soul-pleasing or soul-satisfying, as in this symbol: "Two men, well clad, are standing together, one holding a white horse by the bridle" while the two discuss "strange" or occult studies, and their friendships with notable and influential persons. Is this dangerous? Perhaps, as it has been for Cagliostro and others, yet that is only if there is serious disproportion in one's hopes, aspirations, and truth-detecting. Neptune's truth is true yet maybe impossible to capture. We give the benefit of the doubt to the yarns of "an old sea captain rocking" because it is pleasanter to do so, and who knows, his retrospection could be veridical.
