"Peace Be Within Thee"
Moon in Pisces
A foreview, tentative and experimental, of the calendar month of March was posted in yesterday's report.
Symbols for today replicate some of those in the monthly chart, such as: "An indescribable scene; chaos, confusion, dissolving views," perhaps insanity or idiocy. Let's keep our heads. Along with that goes "There is no symbol to this degree. But I perceive that it is charged with evil, and wickedness of the most diabolical nature. The nature will be subtle but plausible in appearance. Destitute of one spark of REAL sympathy. One who will ever prove dangerous to those who take him into their confidence. . . . This is liable to modification, but under the most favorable circumstances such a person will find very strong leanings to injure his fellow men rather than to do them good." We applied this to Putin because Jupiter was there the day of the invasion (and three days before); today the sun is there. But it's not just Putin. There could be others who are possessed by "diabolical" forces or impulses, such as some of those pressing for revenge against Russia, which could seriously backfire into horrid situations. I am for de-escalation, not escalation, and the monetary sanctions against Russia will hurt the Russian people more than Putin and could end up making them resent the USA and the other Western nations making their lives miserable (when they were not responsible for Putin's moves). All this is very complicated and it is obvious that the "demons" have a chance to hurt humanity in dozens of ways as long as this crisis lasts. It is not noble to pretend to be helping the Ukrainian people while actually making things worse. Let us pray.
"A large aviary" reminds us that we are living in a community with many "rare birds" around us. "A sword in a museum" could be a positive hint that the swords of warfare belong, in fact, in a museum, not in the hands of factions in Eurasia. Let's archive them.
We need "a sextant and compass" to navigate these confusing times. "Concentric circles" are harmonious with each other, having the same Center.
This is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent leading up to Easter on April 17.
To Ukraine: Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
To Russia: Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
To all the nations of the world: Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
-- Psalm 122
