First, I need to remind us of the Dark Hermetic Epoch. Many people think that when Mercury turns direct, all problems connected with it are solved. No! As I have been maintaining here for decades, the three-week retrogradation is only the center of an eight-week period, the Dark or Slow Hermetic Epoch, when Mercury slows, goes retrograde, then gains speed very slowly. The current DHE began December 12 and continues through February 6. We are still experiencing the confusions, tangles, and backtrackings which people generally associate with Mercury Retrograde.
I point this out because I have been listening to news shows and podcasts, and it is abundantly clear that newsmen and commentators on both sides of all issues remain very confused and almost tongue-tied if one tries to understand exactly what they are saying. Both the events they report, and any coherent understanding of those events, are "twisted deep and strange." Do you "get" exactly what Joe Biden's "documents" are all about and of what he might be guilty, and why it matters? I have listened to anti-Biden and pro-Biden discussions of all this and in both cases Biden's quote, "There's no there there" seems accurate. But that is equally true of the "document crimes," so-called, of Donald Trump, supposedly uncovered in that search of Mar-a-Lago most have forgotten by now. And all this is only a small example of the politically swirling confusion we are getting from the media and from podcasters, whether they be Left, Right, or Center. That's why I said, a while ago, "Just give yourself a break from news, supposedly important information, and podcasts" maybe until February 7. Or sample that sometimes, but remind yourself continually how uncertain and tenuous it all is.
Thursday: 'An airplane falling" was discussed yesterday. It can be a crisis, or small semi-crises you face, and does not have to be tragic but requires 'highly advantageous reorientation of selfhood through every issue."
"An Eastern town" could be in the Near or Far East, or could be any town east of you. You might have a proclivity in that direction, or could get some advantage or intangible inspiration by thinking about something to the east. Maybe you could take a walk or shopping trip in that direction.
"A target pierced by a rapier" turns up on the very first day of a Venus-Mars square (January 26 through February 14). This is "a degree of vulnerability." "Let us beware of the direct thrust and practice the use of the two-edged sword." A want of discretion could lead to trouble or disgrace through headstrong or impulsive words or acts.
A happier outlook comes from "a scepter surrounded by a crown" indicating "distinction and offices of power and influence." One will be "upright and unbending in integrity" with sincere affections, and ambitions resulting in Authority.
