Moon in Capricorn
As of Wednesday’s Market downturn, most investors are likely to feel like “a man sowing in the wind,” “wasting substance and dissipating energies in vain or illusive projects, sowing where they have no advantage.” (Elon Musk? who has put his Twitter flutterings right in the public eye.) I shall not predict what the Market shall do today but most investors and businesspeople are emulating “a man equipped for a rough journey, belted and armed.” They may be adventurous and pioneering while depending on new roads of knowledge and research to guide their journey.
Desperation drives the more aggressive among us to take advantage of those they can victimize, like “a powerful man holding a scourge and driving two slaves in manacles.” “To rule without regard to qualifications” is their ambition. Such despotism does not not end well for the despot. Those more temperate in their achievements may experience “a harvest moon,” a benediction. It brings “self-consummation which is successful beyond any possibility of measure.” “The concentrated resources of the world are at the immediate service of anyone who will put them to use and so facilitate their replacement.”
Mercury retrograde is in Gemini, a technological sign sometimes, and exactly sextile Jupiter, bringing good fortune in regard to technology whether computers, phones, tablets, the internet, or anything depending on “a narrow vista resembling a square tube, the interior of which is luminous by some means I do not understand.” Charubel in 1892 seems to have been seeing clairvoyantly our electrical devices of a century later. Using them well could make us like “a person armed with sword and spear, richly dressed in scarlet and purple, with helmet of fine brass or gold, confident of victory.”

P. S. It goes without saying that the Mercury Retrograde period, through May 2, brings the unexpected, and often the unwanted, every day if not every hour. We REadjust constantly. Things we had abandoned in the past come to life again, as for example UFOs, even in Congress. We consider (just flashing on my screen: Network Error!, a typical MR weirdness but now it seems okay) psychic phenomena in a fresh way and feel we have one foot in another world. Sometimes this can be disorienting to the point we feel we might be going senile or “losing it,” but I assure you this is not true. It is just one symptom of that huge syndrome, Mercury Retrograde, which seems to catapult us into a different kind of time, a fourth dimension unlike our usual temporal sense. Thinking or dreaming of the past is natural and not to be despised. Wondering about the future can be unsettling and so to make it harmless we should give ourselves a lot of affirmations of goodness to set our minds in a fulfilling direction rather than bring on what we worry about pointlessly. At best this can be a fulfilling time if saturated with openness plus calm poise.
