Moon in Taurus
|Karmic sobering, challenging third| of this week continues until around noon Wednesday
Full Moon of Scorpio-Taurus is exact at 3:03a PT | 6:03a ET | 11:03a UT (with a lunar eclipse in some places). (Apologies: this was given in yesterday’s report as happening on Monday. No, on Tuesday very early.)
0 I do not, in general, try to predict elections. First, ethically, if it were possible it might be wrong, because astrology is not fatalism and the planets, though indicating trends of test and trends of reward, do not control our choices. The will of the voters trumps the motions of the planets. I am happy that this election is happening near the middle of a Bright Hermetic Epoch because that could indicate that the tabulations and results will be less questionable than they were in 2020, when the election occurred during a Dark Hermetic Epoch. I am not happy that it is occurring during a week of intense aspects: Mercury, Venus and the sun opposite Uranus and square Saturn, in fixed signs. Moods may be down, which may or may not change voter turnout. Some may, by the sense of crisis in the air, be more impelled to confront laziness and inclement weather to insist on getting their vote in. Will that be Republicans or Democrats? Again, that depends on human will, not the planetary positions. One might speculate that, in accord with most polling, a sense of crisis would impel many to vote against the incumbents and for the challenging Republicans. (I am keeping my own opinion out of this.)
^ “A battered hulk is lying upon the seashore.” The Democratic Party? Many think that is what will happen, but maybe not. The Republicans, or some of them? Maybe. “The life will be a wandering and rudderless drifting upon troubled waters; and whether through his own fault or folly, or the relentless hand of an inimical fate, the fortunes will eventually be in danger of wreck and ruin, the native becoming a derelict from the great sea of life.” No doubt some candidates will be feeling this, but which ones?
~ Win or lose, some may be like “a buffalo standing on an eminence, pawing the ground and snorting.” They are “bold, independent and forceful” and “will suffer great privations in order to maintain the semblance of freedom.” “Independence” is the great keyword of our nation. Who will represent that most convincingly to the voters?
& “A man trimming palms” could be the voters trimming back on Democratic-party power, if the pollsters turn out to be right. In the personal sphere, this could be an enhancement of the beauty of nature in one’s surroundings, whether through seasonal yard-modifications or changes in house plants or whatever is relevant. “All natural resources” are “bent to the will of the individual.” Of course, people on the right think that includes the use of fossil fuels while those on the left think such use has to be “trimmed.” “The harmony between the workman and his materials becomes gratifying evidence of the soul’s powers.”
* For dessert, as it were (I’m being naughty), we have “A female in a state of nudity.” Pardon the sexism, stemming perhaps from the 19th-century sensibilities of seer Charubel who saw this symbol and commented that it shows “a voluptuous person liable to be carried away by the lower passions.” I didn’t know that politics, winning or losing, could stimulate such erotic energies, but maybe. Revenge sex? (Naughty, I’m sorry. I’m not immune from current societal perverse influences.) Let’s hope this will be a sense of well-being and contentment with one’s own body (nudity) and maybe “the bodies of others” (a book by Naomi Wolf) which is mildly salacious but non-dangerous.
! It looks like an interesting day and I hope, whatever your politics, it brings us closer to mutually-engendered harmony.
