~Near Turning Point~

It doesn't seem that I can ever write about the Dark Hermetic Epoch too often.  We tend to forget it is going on.  If you are reading this you are in the .000000001 per cent of the earth's population who know about it.  Congratulate yourself! and use the knowledge.  Its duration this time was and is from December 29 through February 23, another five days.  I used to hope that we feel things getting easier toward the end of the period, but now I think that there is a quantum leap from the Dark (Slow) to the Bright (Fast) Epoch.  That will come in five days on Thursday February 24.  

I continue to find things very slow, delayed, sometimes distressing, requiring much backtracking every day.  I do things in an 'out of pattern way' and sometimes this is okay, sometimes disturbing, but always seems to be unavoidable.  I am speaking for myself because I am not you, but I believe you must be going through the same thing.  As for the world at large, one could point to the Biden-Putin-Ukraine imbroglio, which goes backward, forward, and nowhere by the day, and the vaccine mandate mess, which seems to get better, then worse, then marginally better, or to the Canadian truckers who have a legitimate grievance but no easy way of getting relief, and so on and so on.  (Joe Rogan flip-flopping is a good example--Do I go forward or backward, or forward, backward and forward?)  I am moaning again about all this because it definitely helps, rather than hurts, to know about it, and realize that one is not going crazy, nor senile, nor bonkers, nor are one's friends and neighbors going nuts, and that perhaps there could even be some hope for political matters getting better in a few days or more.  

Meanwhile, our spiritual development can continue and even be facilitated during the DHE when the "inner" seems often to trump the "outer."  

I applaud those who keep on working and pursuing their tasks, ambitions, or missions during this difficult period.  They have a lot to contend with, and grow stronger by facing the strangeness with as much perspective and courage as they can summon.

We may be feeling a little more calm because the sun has entered Pisces, though five planets remain in the (seemingly) obstructive, delaying, difficult Saturn-ruled signs Capricorn and Aquarius.  Spring comes, technically, in a month and by later this week most will sense that things are moving more smoothly in a more clearly defined direction.
