\Defense, Preparation, Reorientation/
Moon in Capricorn-->Aquarius
|Karmically serious, sobering, challenging third| of this week begins at 3:05p PT | 6:05p ET | 10:05p UT (until Tuesday)
/moon goes void-of-course at 3:16p PT | 6:16p ET | 10:16p UT
until it enters Aquarius at 9:05p PT | 12:05a(Su) ET | 4:05a(Su) UT
Challenge: We can't let the Grinch steal the Memorial Day weekend, but he'll probably try. The Difficult Third (moon conjunct Saturn this time) covers all but the earlier hours of Saturday (above). The long-lasting, pandemic-related square between Uranus and Saturn is increasing again while Saturn goes backward (apparently). It is in Aquarius, its own sign, and Aquarius rules the circulatory system, hence the conflict and disagreement about vaccines. I shall refrain from stating my position here because I want people on both sides of most political issues to profit by these reports rather than feel repelled by someone else's opinion. 'In a market place, several young men are in dispute, asserting their opinions by the free use of cudgels' is the way Signor Borelli puts it. This can be Luna's opposition with Mars, while conjoining Pluto. People feel they want to escape from one complex of experience into another and so resent anyone who prevents that or challenges it. 'A quiver filled with arrows' is not violent but is merely preparation for whatever may happen, because one is 'alert to the interests and needs of selfhood.'
Process: 'A meeting of a literary society' is a more refined and elegant manifestation of the 'young men asserting their opinions with cudgels' syndrome. Criticism, whether literary, political, or ethical, is needed in one form or another. It can be 'a rigorous revaluation of private acts and attitudes' when one is brought up short by recognizing embarrassing facets of oneself in a fictional character. That is all to the good, made easier by the fact that it is also entertainment. It might lead to 'winter frost in the woods,' or a perception that something has outlived its usefulness (the flora and fauna of one season). Yet this suspension is a sort of splendor, a 'creative transformation by which older cycles give place to newer ones.' Such reorientation gets a healthy even if discomforting stimulus.
Blessing: That reorientation stems from high aspiration. Capricorn is the sign of mountains and we have 'a man standing on a mountain with a staff in his hand, the setting sun showing his figure in relief.' 'His use of natural powers' includes surmounting dangers by prowess, according to Sepharial. "He will eventually triumph over obstacles and terminate things extremely well.' At the other, more comfortable end of life we have 'a spacious room filled with expensive furniture, among which are several mirrors.' Charubel says this shows conformity to fashion, self-aggrandizement, plus artistic accomplishments and love for the fine arts. Beauty surrounds us.
