Moon in Gemini

We have a week until Mercury goes retrograde (Tuesday October 13 through Monday November 2).  It would not be superstitious to "batten the hatches" during this coming week, that is, try to make your schedule and planning for the following three weeks (at least) comprehensible and limited.  Limited because we tend to get involved in too much during the MR periods.  "Choose the best and leave the rest" is a good motto.  But also, when you do have extra time, be willing to experiment with new thoughts or interests a little bit.  You will feel these trends beginning already.  Rigid control of limited essentials, combined with relaxed experimentation in "loose" hours, is the right formula.  Not letting one impede the other is the secret.  

Tuesday:  

"A fat pig lying down" is Charubel's slanderous comment upon us.  He allows that we are "free of criminality" but "destitute of ambition" as long as we get our desires fulfilled.  Everything seems just fine, and uneventful (Luna trine Sol), but we ought to "provide for future contingencies."  

"A soldier prepared for battle" is, fortunately, not battling, as shown by Mars now retrograde and moving away from its square with Saturn (though it shall be squaring both Pluto and Jupiter for weeks, well past the election).  Being prepared can prevent trouble.  Disciplined habits would bring efficiency and success.  The avenues of that training are not new, for "circular paths" are inviting us to be thorough in re-experiencing elements of training.  Being true to our own center makes the "paths" of others circle around us advantageously. 

Venus's good aspects with Mercury and Uranus allow for flirtation or a light, joyous spirit of self-indulgence.  "A man walks with two women, their arms linked in his," or the sexes could be reversed in that image.  Duplicity or vacillation do not seem problematic to us when love is involved, yet might be.  Or we might remove the whole erotic imbroglio into higher dimensions, as "a man dreaming of fairies."  Daydreams or  visions enhance one's outlook and one's persuasiveness.
