Message for Weekend, and Week of May 13-19, and What's the Best Vacation Month!
It is not surprising that I dwell on Mercury Retrograde (April 21-May 15) and the Dark Hermetic Epoch (April 6-May 1) because I am the pioneer in seeing that these periods determined by the relations among the earth, the sun and Mercury are PRIMARY in our human consciousness and our experience of TIME.
Bright Time is more easily described; it might be called Normal or Smooth or Non-Obstructive. Dark Time is more complex and interesting: It is when we can go into other dimensions, in our minds and thoughts and dreams, and investigate the past through memory, and interact with the "dead" as well as the living, and attain, without even trying, spiritual realizations which are hard to put in words, or impossible to codify though they are very real. It might be called "Poetic Time" while the Dark Epoch is "Prose Time."
Some individuals have told me that they prefer the Dark or Poetic Epochs. I also appreciate them, though it is harder to get a grip on outward factors then.
Example: You want to start a new business or project. Suppose that it is near the end of a Bright Epoch, with the Dark starting in a few days. Then my advice is: Figure it out slowly, toy with it, tease it, write down possible approaches on a yellow pad, but take your time throughout the Slow or Dark or Poetic Epoch of two months. How far you can go in planning is up to you, but setting things in motion might be very difficult or impossible. You might chat with people about it but they will probably be either uninterested or indecisive. They might be inspiring and enjoyable and help you in that way, but "the devil in the details" is likely to be taunting you.
So then what? 1. Don't give up, but also 2. Don't rush anything. Back to the actual or figurative yellow pad or drawing board. Pray. Let yourself have more "down time" than usual, when you can daydream or meditate.
Then, when Mercury turns direct, you may have your plan much more clearly developed, yet still it may not be ready to implement, or only partially. That depends on the particular situation, but you should not be disappointed if it takes another couple weeks to work things out. Right now, Mercury will turn direct on Monday May 15 but the DHE shall remain until Thursday June 1, more than two weeks later. This two-week interim period is half Dark and half Bright, but it should facilitate gradual development of plans which will be fulfilled during the Bright Epoch of June 1 through August 3.
Are things always that clear-cut? Maybe not, but as a rule of thumb this has not failed me over the years.
Of course there are other important astrological factors, especially the aspects among the planets. Today I felt the pressure of the current aspects I wrote about in the Friday report (Mars square Jupiter while opposing Pluto), in the world as well as in myself, and thought "When will we have a smooth, placid time, a good vacation month?" So I looked ahead at each weekly chart for the next few months and here is what I believe:
Maybe the best time for a vacation would be the entire month of September as well as the first half of October. I was looking for a combination of smooth aspects and find them in those six weeks o so. Problem? All of September is within a Dark Hermetic Epoch, but that is the Poetic Epoch and so it could be good for a vacation. If, because of Mercury retrograde or slow, you should have a flight delayed, for example, or other confusing factors, you could, knowing about the DHE, relax and appreciate whatever happens.. Maybe while you are delayed you will meet someone who turns out to be a friend or who at least colors and gives fresh life to your vacation. Or you might take an unexpected side trip or detour which opens up something wonderful.
That's about the best I can do in terms of planning a vacation this year. Or if you remain at home I think you'll find those six weeks wonderful for happy experiences in your usual haunts. It will be a good time for romance, for Venus and Mars will be in al long-lasting sextile through that whole month-and-a-half.
As for this weekend, as pointed out in the Friday report it is within the |difficult third| of this week, until about noon Sunday. If you choose between Peace and Adventure, I would choose Peace, but that does not mean you cannot enjoy yourself. Conscience is active and so if you spend some time doing something your conscience approves that will bring deep peacefulness.
As for the coming week, Saturday May 13 through Friday May 19, I cannot honestly say it will be any easier than last week, although Mercury turning direct on Monday-Tuesday should help clarify things. We have still the fateful square of Mars with Jupiter while it opposes Pluto. The Ukraine war drags on. Peace signals? I hope so; maybe; or maybe not until June. Trump and Biden both have legal troubles and there is what many call an invasion at the southern border. Disruption is a DHE word and the immigrants feel even more disrupted than the American communities being asked to harbor them. All this "drags on" so all I can say is that the issues involved may be somewhat clarified, though the suffering of "bad karma" on all sides continues. Saints, or those devoted to spirituality and prayer, have the duty of trying to uplift their sisters and brothers.
