~Crescent Moon as Dreamt Beginning~

One symbol in the weekly chart is "a giant amusing himself with a child's doll." Could that be us, relying on these zodiacal symbols to set our days or lives in order? Actually, I study Christian Science every morning and consider that more spiritually profitable and fortifying than what I write here. But this astrological approach has its use and its place.

Mars opposite Saturn, continuing until August 4, coincides with the final days of this current Bright Hermetic Epoch. It might be called, in and of itself, the hardest aspect in astrology. It means "carry on, do your work, don't flinch from it even when it seems boring or unsatisfying or unrewarding." It can also mean "Keep refining or fine-tuning your skills."

For those suffering illness it can mean "Keep your faith in a cure going even during what seems the crisis of the illness. That faith, and your sincere approach to the mercy of the Supreme, can carry you through the temporary suffering, which may be relieved by early August if not sooner."

Monday:

The tiny crescent moon often shows the time of month when we feel weary and benefit from extra rest. The New Moon occurs today at 11:33a PT | 2:33p ET | 6:33p UT. It takes at least a day after that for full energy and oomph to recur, but one might feel that one is inwardly refreshed or renewed.

"A falling star or meteor" indicates uncertainty. An aesthetic nature seems unsuited to daily life in its sterner routines. Yet one can rise above reversals and changes through patience.

Charubel has fun with "the letter Q appears," saying it indicates quibbling, querulousness and cantankerousness. Many are skeptical or quarrelsome, hyper-critical. It is good to trust what has proved trustworthy most of the time. Even a hypothetical foundation can be better than no foundation at all.

As for love-life, Venus has refrained from joining Mars and is going backward toward a renewed square with Uranus lasting through July and most of August. This is not helpful, superficially; it challenges love to accept the quirks and oddities of the loved one, yet when that is done there can be moments of euphoria. We have however a nice symbol today: "Two golden circles joined by a blue ribbon tied in a double bow." People are kind, benevolent, and fortunate in marriage, possibly marrying twice. They are idealists loving peace and concord, making many friends. The keyword is Union. We may see this work out in small ways today if not in large. (I am not writing about the war but wish the warmongers would respond to this vibration.)

Too good to be true? Well, "a man is dreaming of fairies." An imaginative outlook can help us. Whether fairies and angels are real in themselves, or are "the personified powers of the everyday world," they "instrument our efforts." "The dreams of men are the foretaste of human achievement."
