^Through Indifference, to Poised Progress^

Moon in Scorpio-->Sagittarius

|Karmically serious, sobering, challenging third| of this week ends at  4:19a PT | 7:19a ET | 12:19p UT  

/moon goes void-of-course at 8:11a PT | 11:11a ET | 4:11p UT

until it enters Sagittarius at 2:44p PT | 5:44p ET | 10:44p UT

Challenge:  'A white oval figure on a very black background; that background has no forms nor shapes of any kind.'  A big zero sign.  Charubel warns against being 'a very negative person, open to evil influences.'  This is appropriate during a 6-hour void-of-course period within a Dark Hermetic Epoch.  Meditation and prayer, when soulful, hopeful, aspiring, are not negative.  Or one might then rouse oneself to be like 'an officer preparing to drill his men.'  The keywords might be 'prepare' and 'drill,' for this could be preliminary exercise of hopes and intentions rather than the real thing, which could be premature.  Still, one's calculations for the future can be precise.  

Process:  'A glass-bottomed boat in still water,' like the oval zero figure, could be passive, open to whatever happens; but in this case there is active curiosity about what one might see in that 'still water.'  One could estimate life's possibilities competently, rather than just be indecisive.  Poised interest in things could prepare one for definite action.  Then one's hand might hold 'a sword.  That sword is not for slaughter, but to defend the right.'  'Thou art a child of the sun, and hast a mission to accomplish,' proclaims Charubel.

Blessing:  'An arrow in flight passing through a cloud of smoke' could indicate many things.  Someone trying to overcome the smoking habit is like that arrow until he or she finally gets through the 'cloud of smoke.'  Another meaning is that one's mind could be penetrating and incisive (moon opposite Mars especially after the v-of-c) so that any 'smoke' of opposition does not make one indecisive.  One might meet with success through friends (Venus sextile Uranus), or be protected by someone greater than oneself: 'Two yellow flowers grow beneath the shade of a luxuriant tree.'  A kind, trustful disposition tends to bring security.

P. S.  I remind myself as well as you that the Dark Hermetic Epoch can make us weary and depressed, when things seem to be tangled stupidly, and it lasts until the 13th.  However, it is good for getting higher, deeper perspective.  It is good for reviewing or researching things, and for recalling past incidents, friendships, relationships.  The past can either tangle the present, hindering progress, or illumine the present and vivify it, depending on our response to the cache of memories.
