~Measuring, Modifying Trusting~
Moon in Scorpio
|Karmically serious, sobering, challenging third| of this week continues until tomorrow (Wednesday) at 5:32a PT | 8:32a ET | 12:34p UT
> moon leaves the Via Combusta at 8:59a PT | 11:59a ET | 3:59p UT
Fire! It is fascinating how the Via Combusta can be almost literal. On Monday, an hour before I am writing this, the dreaded smoke detector went off in my building. I put on my ear plugs and went downstairs out in front of the building to watch the firemen come and find out that a lady on the first floor had been cooking mushrooms too long. Not a biggie, except for the nuisance and time-waste, but we were in the Burning Way! At least for the mushrooms.
Challenge: 'A man swimming in the river against the current and making no progress' describes how we might feel at times during a mixture of hard and easy aspects and during a |difficult third| just after a Full Moon when there is often a letdown. 'Misdirection of effort' could be 'a straining after that which Nature has not designed.' Another man stands beside the river, not fighting it but 'collecting bits of wood or straw with a rake,' scratching to himself what he can gain through lassitude. Not a fantastic example but at least he is using the river rather than fighting it. Five planets in the two major money signs may impel us to figure out wiser money strategies.
Process: 'A battle between the swords and the torches' could be varying political or other viewpoints struggling to better their opponents. There is what is practical and there is what is meaningful, and we try to balance the two by resolving our practical endeavors into what is also meaningful. Ideals should not be compromised, but perhaps modified in the way they can manifest best. To do that we might need more information, becoming familiar with graduated strata or data, pictured by 'a deep shaft descending into the earth, and right overhead a balloon.' This could be some unusual method of measurement which resolves worries or obstacles by showing how things are interconnected. The balloon might be a welcome indication of what is beneath it.
Blessing: 'Two swords form a cross lying on the ground; a man stands on them with a scepter pointing heavenward.' He is 'a person of peace, who confides in the higher power.' He may live in 'a small cottage at the base of a high mountain, where jutting rocks appear to overhang the cottage perpetually threatening its destruction.' But he is 'a truly good person who has implicit faith in the Most High' and is protected.
