}Fate or Enterprising Greatness{

Moon in Libra

|Karmically serious or sobering third| of this week is with us until Saturday

<moon in the Via Combusta (possible loss or morale during a cosmic reshuffling) beginning at 8:27a PT | 11:27a ET | 4:27p UT) (until Saturday)

People can't go faster than the planets.  I just came up with that statement after watching a Trump-supporter video summarizing the status of the race, which drags on and on.  Wearisome.  It's either Mars that we "can't go faster than" (it is still retrograde, has been since early September) or Mercury that we "can't go faster than" because it is still slow (that is, we are in the Dark or Slow Hermetic Epoch) until November 19, a week from today).  Mars turns direct on Friday, though still will be very slow, and almost a week later the BHE begins.  Some resolution, or at least more clarity about when and how there shall be resolution?  Let's hope so.

Thursday:

There are compulsions which seem fatalistic, and other-persons' compulsions which are also fatalistic, like "cataracts falling from one rocky ledge to another."  Actions can be precipitate and hazardous, lacking in foresight.  Restless urges are not aware of danger until it is encountered.  What may be needed is some safe anchorage in tradition, in solid, honorable values as represented by "a Jewish rabbi."  Let us turn to our heritage and "stand on the shoulders of giants."  

Disappointments could come to some of one's early, too-sanguinary hopes, but the sun forming good aspects with Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn should help you find surer footing.  It would not be surprising that while suffering the stress of other major aspects, the "hard third" of this week, and the Via Combusta, some might turn to escapism, symbolized by "a wineglass overturned."  Yet there can be geniality plus intelligence, subduing whatever would be dangerously incontinent.

Mars is stationary while moving backward but turns direct tomorrow and Saturday.  While motionless it is said to be very powerful, so we have the symbol "hunters starting out for ducks."  The is "the straightforward honesty of desire" leading to enterprise or the use of practical skills to gain freedom. When this becomes a little more selfless it is  "the sun shining brightly," "a great man [or woman], a public character, one whose presence among mankind will be considered essential."  Who might be your nominee or nominees?
