\Comfortable Approach to Natural Cosmic Boons/
Moon in Taurus
|Karmically serious, sobering, challenging third| of this week is here until midday Thursday
I keep reminding you that Mercury is retrograde because I find that I need to keep reminding myself. It makes a difference to know about it. One will then be less disturbed by its symptoms, such as slowness, delays, mistakes, out-of-pattern scheduling which seems wrong or upsetting, and so on. It is also important to remember that one is not losing one's mind! Rather one's mind, symbolized by Mercury, is in an unclutched mode, not because there is anything wrong with it but because this is the time for reviewing things, re-estimating them, doing them somewhat differently but not jumping zealously into anything new, which would be another mistake. Best advice: Take your time, go easy, let yourself have extra rest or recreation, while keeping up with bare essentials. Let yourself experiment with the unusual as long as it does not grossly impair accomplishing the essential.
'A man lying wounded or sick upon the ground' does not show inevitable illness but perhaps voidness of virility and ambition. As just explained, this is not always bad. Extra rest is often good. Yet there does not have to be moral apathy, mental ineptitude or physical weakness. 'The field of Ardath in bloom' is a sweet mystic meadow of ancient Babylon. The universe is friendly and we can rely on it if we live in such a way that it will support us. We can maintain the continuity of attempting good deeds, even if little ones.
'A woman disappointed and disillusioned' could be feeling the effects of Venus square Mars, which can be intense attractions which do not work out and throw one into a fit of disillusionment. Love loves differences, but the differences now may be so acute as to crash the connection. A setback can be a useful clearance of unhelpful allurements or reactions. Yet even in this |difficult third| of the week there can be good fortune: 'A ray of sunshine falls on a man reclining on a rustic seat beneath a shady tree.'
The rustic symbolism could be Mars trine Pluto in earth signs. 'in a field of rich grass stands a tree encircled by a swarm of bees.' This, says Sepharial, shows diligence leading to the acquisition of money and friends. Thrift plus industry succeed even during a Mercury-retrograde period, as long as one does not push beyond reasonable limits. 'A scepter surrounded by a crown' denotes distinction, power, and influence, at least within some domain. This comes of strict integrity, resulting in Authority granted by the cosmos.
