^Happy New Year!^
Moon in Cancer-->Leo
|Karmically serious or sobering third| of this week is at its peak (ending late Friday evening)
/moon goes void-of-course at 5:46a PT | 8:46a ET | 1:46p UT
until it enters Leo at 10:59a PT | 1:59p ET | 6:59p UT
Seventh Day of Christmas
No year is without its problems or its fortuities. Therefore it is hard to say "Next year will be better." Nevertheless, I would venture to say that about 2021 because a few major factors in the chart for the calendar year are better, including the trine between Mars and Venus. Relations between these two are super-important not only for relationships, love, and friendships but for general cooperation and good fortune. So we may hope for something better.
The charts I use are for Greenwich mean time, the time astrologers have used in their ephemerides for centuries, and that is 12:00 a.m. Universal Time, or 0:00 Universal Time, January 1, 2021. But that happens for us in the U. S. at 4:00p PT | 7:00p ET (which is 12:00a(F) UT). And so, if you want to celebrate the beginning of the astrological New Year you might do it at those times, and reserve your local midnight hour for a different kind of celebration. A more sober, serious, contemplative and spiritual celebration might be appropriate for the earlier hour. We always want to hold ourselves to a higher standard at any New Year.
The moon in Leo is usually an entertaining or fun time, but during this Saturnian |difficult third| the fun is likely to be as muted as our faces with their masks or our stances with their 6-foot apartness. Party? Why not, if it seems natural to all concerned, but expect people to be distant and somewhat morose or maybe just unusually thoughtful.
"A large disappointed audience" gets the picture. There has to be spiritual independence when crowd-events fail to uplift. There is disjunction between oneself and the masses. "Someone hesitating to trust himself or herself to a wooden bridge" suggests so much doubt that one might "suspect even one's best friends." Maybe we need to transcend fearfulness to partake of some social or semi-social sharing. Even if it's disappointing, it is something.
"The hollow trunk of a large tree covered with moss" suggests ancient romance, in which one "outlives the other members of his family" and enjoys a memory-laden longevity. "For Auld Lang Syne." It's a time of wonderment: What does my past mean? Was I worthy? What will the future be and can I handle it worthily? Who are my real friends and family and how can I interact better with them? All these wondering questions are asked by "a child and a dog with borrowed eyeglasses." Even without a conventional party, the world itself becomes a party venue as we examine ourselves and others and "what it all means." The eyeglasses are "borrowed" because we are looking through other eyes as well as our own on New Year's Eve. Our personal opportunity for the coming year is linked unimpeachably with universal spirit.
"A man inspecting horses" sounds like someone sizing up other people at a New Year's party! Well, that can be fun or illumining. What is he or she good for in my world? You might attain a level of mental, spiritual and physical conquest in which all three domains are interlaced like "Two triangles, with a third superposed." Mastery unites these three as separate yet cooperating. Self-government in the individual results in better national government.
{Thursday} Happy New Year!
