\When Defeated, Prance with Gentility/

Moon in Taurus

|Karmically serious, sobering, challenging third| of this week continues until 4:01p PT | 7:01p ET | 11:01p UT

Challenge:  The two major oppositions mentioned frequently remain, and we have 'an oak tree broken by the wind; beneath it the skeleton of some dead creature.'  This seems perilous and could make us morose, yet we ought to 'keep sowing and building for the greater good' and 'give shelter to the worthless out of sheer goodwill.'  One's labor may yield little personal profit, and have some dangers, as if one were 'a man mining in the rock with a pickaxe,' honest but unimaginative, content to perform unambitious service.

Process:  Despite other indications of 'digging in the air and sowing to the wind' we have also 'a fine horse with curved neck and flowing mane prancing in the pride of his strength' so one might adopt such a noble, generous, kind-hearted stance.  One of the Avatars of Vishnu, according to Hindu teaching, was a horse, Hayagriva, representing knowledge and wisdom among other virtues.  .  

Blessing:  'A family tree' could represent the spiritual presence of your forebears in your blood.  You look to your endowment and manifest it in your distinctive manner.  This is integrity and gentility.  The T square focused on Uranus accents individuality and a sense of one's peculiar mission, that which no one else seems to 'get.'  'I have to do this to be me; sorry you don't understand.'  And so each day is a fresh beginning, with 'early morning dew' and the genesis of something better despite previous defeats.
