^Drift plus Strength Construct a Shanty^

Patience is needed to traverse this day sanely. The moon is void-of-course for most of the day, while the |difficult third| of this week arrives in the p.m. and lasts until Thursday afternoon. We have the keyword Aimlessness for the symbol "A broken wheel lying on the ground while a horse grazes nearby." There could be some good fortune, yet a laissez-faire drift bringing on partial loss.

"A lion whose head is the only part exposed" suggests being on the defensive, "always prepared for any attack." One's consciousness of superior strength could mean that one does not shun an opponent but is ready for any onslaught.

"A professor peering over his glasses" is similarly prepared on the mental or intellectual plane. The keyword is Specialization. One may enjoy "a quiet mastery of events through a developed insight or depth of understanding."

From today through the coming week, through Monday the 18th, Mercury at its station (turning direct on the 15th) shall occupy the degree "Four long posts forming a square: and four rails fastened horizontally to the top of each. It looks like the framework of some temporary building or shanty." It seems that we are coming out of the delays and confusions of Mercury's retrogradation by assembling the materials of a better dwelling or "shanty" for our hopes and plans. But in these early stages nothing may seem definitive.
