Moon in Aquarius

|Karmically serious, sobering, challenging third| of this week continues until Sunday

Full Moon of Leo-Aquarius occurs Sunday at 5:03a PT | 8:03a ET | 12:03p UT

There are sixteen more days in this Bright Hermetic Epoch and it will be good to consider, again, the chart for the entire period (July 7 through September 5).  I use the entire chart (set up for the moment the sun and Mercury are exactly together, or Mercury seemingly 'in the heart of the sun') to make these observations, but focailize on symbols for the degrees, which have proved stunningly accurate in historic research.

Many are concerned about money; we have an opposition of Mars and Jupiter hitting the money houses.  Yet for Jupiter Charubel gives us 'a man reclining on rustic seat 'neath a shady tree, on whom a ray of sunshine has fallen' and says this shows good fortune and wealth, but that one 'lives only for oneself and seldom benefits others.'  This could be a suggestion to consider how generous one truly is.  We all are prospering in one way or another, at least being provided with essentials through government services if need be.  However, even multi-millionaires may feel there is 'never enough' to cover needs and hopes, so we have from Signor Borelli 'a solitary rock jutting up from a waste of sand' which indicates, says Sepharial, poverty because of a lack of direction and purpose. Yet there can be a 'cold, mathematical fixity and steadiness' so we can calculate how to secure what we need.

How valuable is all this planning, getting and spending?  The sun-Mercury conjunction points to, says Charubel, 'a shovel suspended in mid-air' digging pointlessly while its wielder 'sows to the wind.'  What aspects of your life seem as fruitless as this?  Along with that go 'fireworks exploding in mid-air above a crowd' illuminating ephemeral popularity.  Spectacular stuff, but where is the applause now?  

Many believe that the FBI instigated the so-called 'insurrection' (a total failure by the way) on January 6, and the truth about this is coming out thanks to Darren Beattie and others.  'A man is peeping around a corner at a company of armed men, who are reconnoitering.'  The forensic audits of the November 3 election continue, and there is much 'peeping around corners' in that area, of necessity.  Sadly this also applies to Afghanistan where people have to be painfully wary of any move they make and try to figure out what the Taliban will do.  'A column of smoke ascending on a gigantic scale, followed by a terrible burst of flame. The phenomenon partakes of the character of an explosion.'  Charubel says that this is not fate but a tendency in such a disastrous direction.  I will not list the problems, including floods, fires, and earthquakes, to which this might apply.  Let us pray again for women, Christians, Americans, and others who may be in peril in Afghanistan.

Some Afghan women handed over their babies to American servicemen to get them safely out of the country.  'A naked infant, exposed, is sleeping alone in an open and dreary place.  Around and above that helpless form are beasts and birds of prey.  But, by some strange power, unseen, this embodied picture of innocence is protected.'  Charubel has a way of making things graphically clear.  In your own life this might show that you are being protected, despite your troubles, by angelic powers.

We shall continue this reprise of the past six weeks, the period ending September 5, in the Sunday report.
