}Beyond Pugnacity to Computation and Orientation{
Moon in Gemini
I write just after the verdict in the Rittenhouse trial. I don't know how long there will be disputes about it, but for Saturday we have 'a harrow standing on an open field' which well represents the sort of criticism, sarcasm and aggression some on both sides of the issue may be throwing out. The harrow or the one using it 'digs into the common soil of the human mind, to lay bare and expose its true nature, and to create dissensions, divisions and strifes, stirring up and leavening the pabulum of popular beliefs, and bringing to light their fallacies, impedimenta, and imperfections. The mind will be pugnacious in the extreme, and although it may attract admirers it will have few sympathizers or adherents.' Mutual criticism may be the keynote, plus self-criticism. Those who care about the human race may be like 'an Indian mother pleading to the chief for the lives of her children.' There needs to be non-violent give-and-take in human allegiances, balancing rights and wrongs effectively. The nation seems to be struggling in that direction.
At a calmer level, we are near the middle of a Bright Hermetic Epoch when our minds can fathom things definitively, and map out research, science or personal affairs in the light of clear thinking, even while Mercury squares Jupiter exactly today. This is a need to see both sides of things. You may realize, if you ponder it, that you have found some excellent methods, strategies or plans in your work or a personal project. These could gain recognition or applause eventually. There could be new or improved methods of computation. You are studious and serious concerning your particular bailiwick. You are 'a good marksman' aiming well at objectives and at the truths which will implement them. A co-worker in such areas may be visible or invisible.
If all this should be more playful, it could be like 'children playing around five mounds of sand.' Naivete is a form of simple integrity. Before commitment, one experiments through innocuous trial-and-error. Beside the sand-mounds there is 'an ancient bas-relief carved in granite,' something utterly solid and reliable you can use as an orienting foundation.
