^Competent Protective Warning, Plus Conviviality^

Did this forecast "get" the horrible events in Israel and Gaza-Palestine? Not very well, I admit. Only one of the symbols for Saturday, when the terror began, was really negative. Now when I look at the chart for the day, however, it's evident that the closest aspect that whole day was Mars exactly square Pluto, one of the most violent of all aspects (potentially, but not fatalistically). This fits what happened, especially when combined with Venus opposite Saturn by two degrees and increasing, which is a "grievance" aspect. 

However, I have to say in my favor that the "nice" symbols for the day were not really wrong, for probably the majority of people on the planet, because in my area it was a beautiful day when people were out and about enjoying themselves as if the events across the globe were not affecting them. As I re-read the Saturday forecast, in fact, it exactly predicted what happened in my own life. It is sad that it was otherwise for hundreds or thousands across the globe, yet even there other thousands were not directly harmed and may have had some pleasant experiences. 

A symbol for Sunday, when the suffering continued, was thoroughly appropriate: ""A soldier going through his drill" could mean we may get involved in an unjust or unwinnable war, such as the present one in Ukraine, and would be unfortunate---lucky to escape alive." That was exactly true. As Charubel put it, in stronger terms which I toned down: "One will ever be unfortunate in a military calling. Should he ever be engaged in active service he is nearly certain to be killed or badly wounded." I do not accept that fatalism, because individual human beings, not the planets, determine their own fate, whether intentionally or not. That is, in terms of the long view.

Monday: "A horse saddled and bridled, and galloping away without a rider" suggests much. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going to announce his independent, or maybe third-party, candidacy for President today. He wanted to be "saddled and bridled" by winning the Democratic Party nomination, but that Party effectively threw him out by denying him any chance to win the primaries. So he had to "gallop away without a rider." We do not yet know if he will run as a Libertarian, as some think, or how exactly. In your own life, how might you "run away without a rider" or controlling factor or person? 

"A man standing on the top of a mountain near a precipice waving a red flag to signal a promiscuous crowd rushing at a gallop toward the precipice." Who is that to you? What sage or political commentator? Or are all of them getting it wrong? Bobby Kennedy's whole career has been warning people from disasters and protecting them (as in his Children's Health Defense). "He is able to detect a fault where another would see nothing wrong. An excellent critic and proficient analyst." 

"Humanity seeking to bridge the span of knowledge" seems to me like what I am seeing on Twitter, thousands of people reaching out for "the accumulated experience or perfected wisdom which has built and now supports the world in which they live." Nobody claims it is easy. The keyword is Rationality. "The faith of the individual in his own reasoning powers must have every chance to prove itself."

When we can relax we may be at "a festival, or occasion for the assembling together of villagers in gala costume." There can be sociability, flexibility and friendliness, with a taste for luxuries and festivities. There is good fortune and conviviality.
