\Excellencies of the Season/
Moon in Virgo
For Halloween we have "a nest of young, unfledged birds lying upon the ground" to suggest perhaps the trials and tribulations of trick-or-treating. Sepharial warns that children could be "bereft of parents or guardians, doomed to desolation or effortful self-assertion." Yet an orphan is "capable of attaining considerable distinction." Someone may be costumed as "a nomadic warrior, equipped with javelin and firearm." Ready for the fray, he or she gets involved in strifes or quarrels. With the sun and Mars both square Saturn it is wise to be careful that mock Halloween teasing does not degenerate into real fighting.
"A mask representing the face of a hound" is timely. Not only does it point to literal Halloween masking but suggests "one apt in the imitation of mannerisms, and so a capable actor, gifted with powers of dramatic representation." He or she is "kind and sympathetic, readily attracting friends, yet few will know him for what he really is." Some may inject a political or patriotic element into the festivity, as if "a flag-bearer." At best this can be "the supremacy of common ideals over mere individual ambitions." Some want to make a statement through costuming, perhaps a proclamation of nobility.
Someone may appear to be "a giant of monstrous dimensions," a prodigy of some kind, either in stature, mind, or personality. People are basically good and this is the harvest season (not just for jack-o'-lanterns). "A sheaf of corn" indicates "a practical benefactor of the race; a good member of society."
