Moon in Libra

< moon in the Via Combusta (possible loss of morale during a cosmic reshuffling) until Friday around noon

|Karmically serious, sobering, challenging third| of this week begins at 8:04p PT | 11:04p ET | 3:04a(Th) UT

/moon goes void-of-course at 10:04p PT | 1:04a(Th) ET | 5:04a(Th) UT

Challenge:  There is nothing wrong with pleasure, but "a fat pig lying down" indicates someone living for self alone, not elevating even if  harmless.  Without ambition, this individual just wants his or her fill of desires.   The Via Combusta plus Mercury Retrograde could be a warning against overeating or any over-indulgence.  Yet the quincunx of Mars and the sun with Uranus has a military flavor, as "a man in full armor with helmet on head and spear in hand."  A soldier "of good proportions" could make an appearance in  your life even if transiently. Maybe he will take charge of the "pig" or train it.

Process:  Issues in your consciousness connected with young people, entertainment, personal attractions, and erotic urges could run hot.  "A man is walking with two women, their arms linked in his."  Persons of either sex could be duplicitous, frivolous, or insincere.  Or, their light, joyous nature, good in itself, could run away with reason.  Flattery and self-indulgence are harmless to a point unless vacillation leads to disloyalty.  A sense of humor may tickle some but prickle others.  "The Halloween jester" releases buoyant energies and this is refreshing.  If inept or contemptuous it goes sour.  Let's hope it is good-willed and humorous spontaneousness.  

Blessing:  Temptations abound.  "A woman in trailing robes is waving a wand around which is coiled a serpent."  This seems something like a Bacchic revel.  There is cleverness and cunningness, so one can assert power over others by persuasion or fascination.  Personal charm and magnetic power are supremely attractive, leading to a position of command or success.  Is this progressive or decadent?  It could be either or both, for we seem to be on "circular paths."  Thorough participation in experience brings interminable repetition of old adventures, whether in actuality or imagination.  One holds to one's orbit.  Ultimately one realizes that one is at center, and all the paths one has followed are congruent.
