Moon in Aquarius

|Karmically serious or sobering third| of this week ends at 5:20a PT | 8:20a ET | 12:10p UT

/moon goes void-of-course at 2:55p PT | 5:55p ET | 9:55p UT

Some pressures seem to be easing.  This is the first Saturday almost free of the |difficult third| period for many weeks.  Mars, going backward, is easing up on squares with the three Capricorn planets, though the square with Jupiter is still strong---differences of opinion which can become intense, or even harsh conflict.  Yet homey-ness and friendliness seem possible.

"A battle-field" points out the conflicts just mentioned.  After the battle, or during it but escaping it, "an old man sits beneath a shady tree, his head bowed in thought.  A pilgrim."  There is a philosophic trend.  We need "the eternal verities."  There can be abstruse or mysterious companionship even in solitude.

"An empty hammock" is said to symbolize Rumination, or "inner reorientation and outer readjustment."  This is indeed what we do during a Mercury Retrograde period (lasting until election day, though still-slow Mercury continues its Dark Hermetic Epoch until November 19).  Yet the hammock is empty; after ruminating one gets up to do something.  One does not have to be totally selfless to see that aiding others is a way of aiding oneself.  One might captain "a ferry boat taking people across a wide deep stream."  

Luna in friendly Aquarius sextile Mars, while Venus trines Saturn, could add up to "a man and woman standing hand in hand looking with affection toward each other."  There could be amity and concord.  A friend favors one's success.  With the Part of Fortune in the 4th sector of home, there could be "a house-raising."  Through simple good will there is cooperation and mutual helpfulness.  We find fulfillment through one another's gains.

Moon in Aquarius-->Pisces

/moon is void-of-course

until it enters Pisces at 2:19p PT | 5:19p ET | 9:19p UT

The first paragraph of the Saturday forecast remains relevant.  We are in the heart of the Mercury Retrograde period so calming ourselves is important.  "Hurry and worry" are our bane during these times.  Meditation and prayer are our forte.  We can still keep up with what we have to do, but with poise and inner peace, even contentment, making "let it be" our theme song when there are delays.  Some momentums should be reassuring or fulfilling because Luna trines both the sun and Mercury in water signs.
