~Discrimination as Balance and Comfort~

Moon in Pisces-->Aries

I can't always be a cheerleader; sometimes I have to be a consoler.  Or a commiserator.  Things don't look totally bleak but we are feeling that our spirits are required to do more lifting, or "uplifting," than usual in order to keep our faith and optimism.  "A man standing headless or with the head shrouded in black cloth" is said to be eccentric and melancholy, a recluse devoted to "midnight studies."  The mind could be obscured or chaotic.  Or, hidden truths could be discerned.  "A monster with two faces" is duplicitous and deceptive, a slanderer, and we are familiar with the type during any election cycle.  The moon is in Pisces, two fishes going opposite directions, so we could uplift the bickering to a level of Hegelian dialectic where opposing views are somehow reconciled in an overarching vision.

"A false call unheard in attention to immediate service" emphasizes a career focus in the daily chart.  Discrimination is needed in business so that one's enthusiasm for success is aligned with honorability.  If focused on the path one has chosen, one is safeguarded from deviation into pointless divagations.  Then it's as if one were piling up "a great mound of earth and stones with a flowering shrub on the summit."  Carefulness in small things leads to life-continuity and reward.

"The truth" is called into question by Twitter and Facebook and everyone.  We want to be considered fit to judge what is true for ourselves.  There is gloom and fog (untruth, error) and there is sunshine (lucidity, truthfulness).  Of course we want the latter.  While Mercury is retrograde the mind goes back and forth from new to old viewpoints and tries to find a balance. That balance is often unverbalizable.  "I just know that this is right."  Such certainty brings peace of mind.  Then we may be ready for "a gold rush" or pursuing our dreams and ambitions through personal initiative.  Enterprise frees us of limitations.  We choose skill and ultimate good fortune.  However, the way things are now we may restrict the "rush" to anticipation rather than direct action (unless perchance one is a presidential candidate or campaigner).

P. S.  One reader wrote to thank me for the "planetary highlights" I tried out experimentally yesterday.  That was good to hear.  However, I am still not sure if I want to make it a daily feature and feel I have said enough for today.  It is under consideration.
