Moon in Aries

Full Moon of Libra-Aries occurs tomorrow, Wednesday, at 7:58a PT 10:58a ET | 2:58p UT

A noteworthy longer-term indication is Mars and Venus in a septile aspect, from October 17 through 27.  The septile (one-seventh of the zodiacal circle) is an aspect of Fatality or Destiny according to Marc Edmund Jones.  I have seen this septile between Mars and Venus work out in the past in very important relationships.  It can seem good or seem indefinite, but it marks some development in the relationship, or some realization of what the relationship means.  This can happen not just with male-female relations as in marriage or partnership, but in same-sex relations or friendships, or relations with relatives such as sister, brother, aunt, uncle, and so on.  Because we remain in a Slow or Dark, retrospective, Epoch (until November 3), you may experience this as recalling, sentimentally, old friends who are no longer with you or are at a distance.  Getting in touch with them might be good even if you feel reluctant.  This could result in "karma working out" in a good way even if that is subtle or indefinite.  In general, I believe that relationships, friendships and social connections will be better for all in November and December  The ensuing week could clear the decks for that. 

Tuesday:

Challenge:   "The Pyramids and the Sphinx" remind us that the physical world we experience provides the fabric for our fellowship with one another, as it is said that Hermes instructed in house-building, or pyramid-building, as did or do, in a secret sense, the Masonic orders.  The past's monuments can certify to us our individual place in the history of the planet, intuitively.  Yet we need to choose a focus, as does "a rhinoceros," by being one-pointed, which decreases fear and increases courage.  Being absorbed in one object and intent enhances strength.

Process:  Mercury virtually motionless is like "an airplane hovering overhead" and our minds can achieve an over-all view of the world.  The consequences and relationships of things become clear to steadied reflection.  Then we are ready for intellectual pursuits, if so inclined, as we engage with "a quantity of books and papers in disorder."  History and literature, scattered about in seeming disarray, provide the matrix for a retentive memory and a lively imagination.  One might write oneself, or appreciate someone else's work, or both.

Blessing:  "A rustic cottage overarched by a spreading cedar tree" could be appreciated by oneself, or provided by oneself for someone else through benevolence, giving peace and comfort to all.  You might retreat to a memory of being at home with someone special.  Perhaps you have never been "a magician in sacerdotal vestments standing in a magic circle performing magic rites" but still could imagine yourself to be performing "art magic" or effective ceremonial.
