I have tried various ways of using the zodiacal-degree symbols in these daily forecast-meditations. As of today I want to try a new method, which highlights not four but six degrees each day. Too much? Maybe, but rigorous research has led me in this direction. Friday, March 1, 2024:

1 'Wheels within wheels, spiral and revolving.' For me this means a lot; even if you are not an astrologer it may indicate that you are today aware of the past and present cycles of your life in a new way. 'Falling off the wheel' at one juncture does not mean one cannot climb back on. 'His path is the path of the just that "shineth brighter and brighter unto the perfect day."'

2 'A train entering a tunnel.' This could be 'community functions or social divisions of labor' and the keyword is Courtesy. We do not flaunt ourselves.

3 'A large flag on the top of a high mountain.' One 'rises from a very low degree to eminence.' This could be happening, paradoxically, even while one is going through a tunnel. 

4 'A truncated cone' with keyword Curtailment. In some matters, 'the pinnacle and end of one's ambitions will not be reached; therefore, aim higher than one means to hit, or yet remain contented.' We get out of the tunnel, and carry the flag up the hill, but maybe not to the top. It's okay.

5 So we do not have to emulate 'an old woman seated on a stool with a hooded cloak wrapped closely round her' whose nature is 'warped by feelings of selfishness and jealousy.' 'Bitterness and secret enmity' do not have to poison our souls. We may feel Isolated, the keyword, yet can 'study to preserve interest and sympathy in all that is human and so escape being abandoned of Heaven and Earth.' 

6 All this may feel like 'an examination of initiates.' There is 'a demand that man continue at all times to prove himself in full accordance with the claims he has made for himself.' The keyword is Qualification. There can be 'instinctive conformity to the highest expectation of everybody concerned in each situation of consequence.' 

7 One way to use these paragraphs is to choose which of the six makes one most uneasy, and then which one makes one most comfortable or assured. There could be a message within them by their supplementation of each other.
