Message for Tuesday 15 August 2023

^Resoluteness^

Yesterday I mentioned how the final few days of an Old Moon make us lackadaisical or seeming to need extra rest. The New Moon shall happen in the very early hours of Wednesday. On Monday as I write I had a quite peaceful morning and did a little physical exercise.  Do you notice a slowdown in your own case? With Venus retrograde, I found myself listening to old music, jazz from the 1950s. Other aspects of the Monday forecast came true for me. Did you find yourself cooperating with important people in an unusual manner?

Tuesday: "A man running in the face of a strong wind, but making little headway. His garments fly in tatters behind him." The fires in Hawaii are said to have been caused by a wind-storm knocking over a power line. Sepharial says this symbol indicates Foolishness, pride and obstinacy, unallied to anything of merit. Or, one might go against public opinion (the wind) because of adherence to strong principles.

Then one could be like "an animal trainer," Resolute (the keyword). One finds that one can "do everything for which he is able to enlist the whole of himself." 

"A lion whose head is the only part exposed" is ever on the defensive, alert against any attack. His consciousness of superior strength make him fearless. Instead of shunning an opponent, he may provoke the onslaught and be the last to quit the arena. (This sounds a lot like Donald Trump who not only was born with Leo rising but with Mars in that sign close to the ascendant.)

"A large undershot water-wheel" denotes "one who will be a leading character in some great movement, or the founder of some society or school of philosophy." This applies exactly to Sri Aurobindo, who was born with the sun in that degree and whose 141st birthday is today.
