Moon in Leo
|Karmically serious, sobering, challenging third| of this week is with us (at peak today and tonight) until Friday afternoon
I’m writing on Tuesday while the moon is void of course, and because we remain in the Mercury Retrograde period until October 2, we are in The Doldrums! My ship has no wind in its sails. First, my computer and all internet functions have been slow, gummed up. Second, I read the headlines of The Financial Times of London, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times, and I find everything chaotic. What about Ukraine? Nobody knows. The southern border and illegal immigrants? Nobody knows. The stock market? Nobody knows. It has been in a slump since the beginning of the Dark Hermetic Epoch on Friday August 19, down by 8.82%. Will it go up today (Wednesday)? Nobody knows, but sometimes even though the Fed is expected to raise interest rates on a given Wednesday, the increase has already been built into investor expectations and so the Market perversely goes up when the Fed announces the supposedly bad news.
Likewise in your personal life: Many if not most things are perversely indeterminable and so you have to fly by the seat of your pants.
And if you look at the news you will find that most people seem to be in that situation. Rents, mortgage rates and food and energy costs are up, etc. Malaise! Mayonnaise would be better although overeating is not recommended even though I suspect a lot of it is going on, out of sheer frustration. Not mayonnaise but malaise it is.
Of course one can attend to one’s spiritual life and retain or build up one’s faith in one’s spiritual teachers and in the Supreme. That is essential always, and specially in times like this.
