Moon in Libra
<moon enters the Via Combusta, Burning Way, for 2.5 days beginning at 9:26a PT | 12:26p ET | 4:26p UT (possible loss of morale while in a cosmic reshuffling)
To give myself a weekly break I shall not write the usual report with symbols for today. I must say, however, looking at the daily chart, that we have lost some of the most helpful or uplifting aspects over the past several days and we have some more challenging ones such as the septile pattern with Mars, Pluto, and Uranus at critical degrees. Combined with the Via Combusta and Venus's continuing square with Saturn, the prognosis could be worry. We feel challenged deeply, to the soul perhaps. Those who go to church or some other spiritual group on Sundays might find that helpful, or else private devotions and meditations. When all the spiritual teachers tell us that we need to give up desires, we often take that with a grain of salt, until times like this when that advice is especially appropriate. It's not that everything goes wrong but that we might feel more upset with turmoils or disappointments which ordinarily might not trouble us that much.
The LORD preserves the simple-hearted;
I was brought low and he saved me.
Be at rest once more, my heart,
for the LORD has showered gifts upon you.
He has rescued me from death
and my feet from stumbling.
I will walk in the presence of the LORD
in the land of the living.
--Psalm 116 (New English Bible)
Our life is a paradox with God for key.
But meanwhile all is a shadow cast by a dream
And to the musing and immobile spirit
Life an himself don the aspect of a myth,
The burden of a long unmeaning tale.
The secret God beneath the threshold dwells.
An omnipotent indiscernible Influence
He sits, unfelt by the form in which he lives
And veils his knowledge by the groping mind.
A wanderer in a world his thoughts have made,
He turns in a chiaroscuro of error and truth
To find a wisdom that on high is his.
He is the many who was the silent One.
In the symbol figures of the cosmic Force
An in her living and inanimate signs
And in her complex tracery of events
He explores the ceaseless miracle of himself,
Till the thousandfold enigma has been solved
In the single light of an all-witnessing Soul.
--Sri Aurobindo, Savitri, pp. 67-68
