Yesterday we discussed the |difficult third| of last week as including the abortive rebellion in Russia. Now I hear that the same time period) included the collapse of a bridge in Yellowstone Park (6 a.m. on Saturday) and the dispersal of toxic chemicals from a fallen train. The moon-Saturn |karmic third| of each week constitutes a test, as of Prigozhin, as of Putin, as of U. S. infrastructure. The next such period comes up Thursday late-afternoon through Saturday evening.

We are suffering through both Mars and Venus square Uranus, planet of extreme impatience and self-will (when harshly aspected), the Mars square ending July 14 but the Venus square lasting through August, because Venus turns retrograde soon. That is part of the reason that I have said the second week of September through the second week of October could be a good vacation time.

Tuesday: "A man running in the face of a strong wind, making little headway while his garments fly in tatters behind him" shows that some will "set themselves against public opinion and incur severe criticism or loss thereby." Obstinacy, if not based on real principle, can be foolish.

"An iron gauntlet, a sword, and a scourge lying upon the stump of a tree" indicate a strong personality, but probably tyrannical or bullying. Might alone is not right, if accompanied by injustice and cruelty. Self-assertion needs to be purified.

"A bareback rider" is pursuing personal achievement assiduously and valiantly. Such audacity is linked with uncompromising courage, and perhaps a desire for applause.

It's summer, and the beauties of nature are surrounding us to be our delight. "A man in a green-house is watering some flowering shrubs." Both living things and our own talents are fostered through time, energy and study.
