}Through Tunnel to New Continent?{

Moon in Aquarius-->Pisces

|Karmically serious, sobering, challenging third| of this week ends at 11:33a PT | 2:33p ET | 7:33p UT  

/moon goes void-of-course at 11:07a PT | 2:07p ET | 7:07p UT

until it enters Pisces at 11:24p PT | 2:24a(F) ET | 7:24a(F) UT

The New Moon of Aquarius occurs exactly at the void-of-course time given above (the moon void after that because forming no aspects in Aquarius after its conjunction with the sun, which is the lunation or New Moon)

'A woman lightly clad is lying in a field, surrounded by violet-colored flowers.'  Easy-peasy, inoffensive but weak, indolent.  Sounds like Mercury Retrograde while the moon is void-of-course (for many hours, see above).  The woman lying in the field might be smarter, however, than someone who wants to cross 'a broken bridge spanning a rapid stream.'  Some things collapse and can only be rebuilt through much time and endeavor.  Sounds like Mercury Retrograde.

'A train entering a tunnel' is ourselves realizing there are cycles of time and some of them are dark.  We cannot fully apprehend our surroundings or the immediate past or future while in that obscuring 'tunnel.'  Yet we entered it because it's the only way to the other side.  We need also to be courteous in allowing others to find their own ways through the darkness.  Perhaps on the other side is 'a newly formed continent.'  We could 'shape our own ground' in original ways, 'in full conformity with desires.'  Such could be the hope generated by the New Moon (time above).  We 'remodel the whole face of the universe.'  (This could be done, more likely, in thought and inner realization rather than in outer form while Mercury goes backward [from geocentric perspective].)  

'A large brilliant star in the west, its rays confined to one spot in a dark sky' denotes genius, some amazing vision or power of discovery, which can happen during a Mercury R period.  The "darkness" of the Dark Hermetic Epoch allows for brilliant visions, as dreams in the night or stars viewed through a telescope.  There could be spiritual illumination.  When this is intense, inculcated through suffering, we become like 'a man turning his back on his passions and teaching from his experience.'  We have loved and lost, sought love and rejected it, arriving at some selfless state impossible to define (Venus close to Saturn and now squaring Mars).  The 'passions' on which we turn our back had their place but fade when their lesson has been learned.  Aquarian love is somewhat impersonal, yet still we can 'participate generously and broadly in everyday life.'  Experience mellows us, and then we 'teach' not pompously but by osmosis.
