}Loving the Unloved or Unloving{
Moon in Gemini
Mercury turns Retrograde (from our geocentric perspective) at 10:11p PT | 1:11a(M) ET | 5:11a(M) UT (until October 18)
Challenge: Though aspects are relatively mild, symbols are challenging, such as "a man feeling his way over a bog where he appears to be sinking at every step." This would be the long-term Dark or Slow Epoch (until November 3), getting worse today because Mercury is motionless just before turning retrograde (time above). Unexpected things can go haywire, but we can trust that they are all designed to teach us something no matter how perverse they seem. And so we need, passively, much patience, and actively we may need to face difficult people. "A serpent with many heads in a circle, with fangs protruding" is said by Charubel to be "the cursed degree of the so-called cursed sign; yet even this may have its purposes." At best this could just be someone who irritates you for a while. At worst you could encounter "a pest and a terror to society." Yet we are told to bless and pray for our enemies.
Process: At its mildest, the "pest" could just be "a parrot listening and then talking" or someone whose conventional notions are boring. At a higher level this could be a process of shaping oneself into the image one desires (as the parrot tries to be human). A Grand Trine in air signs, including today the moon with Mars, the sun and Saturn, could be a serious attempt to guard what is most dear to oneself. "A blazing fireplace in a deserted home" is a warning to "keep the home fires burning" but without danger to anyone.
Blessing: Natural affinities draw people to one another in a way to bring out the best in each, by some sort of cosmic gravitation. "A man teaching the true inner knowledge" has his own set of learners or disciples to whom he communicates deeper insights, perhaps through a training process. In a more informal way all learn through love of one variety or another. "The true lover's knot" indicates the strong sympathies of a very affectionate, confiding person. You are fortunate if you have a link with such an one. There is the possibility that she or he may find her or his love unreciprocated, yet it does not diminish. This is the "true" love which baffles the insincere or hypocritical and which their insensitivity does not negate.
