^Excitement on a Floating Wreck^

I don't know what to say. We are in a strange Fortnight (February 16 through March 2). Everything feels inconclusive and tangential.

In the chart for the Fortnight's center, which is the Full Moon chart, a major activating configuration is the conjunction of Mars and Venus both squaring Jupiter. CEO Carter proclaimed that he had found the hard aspects, square and opposition, between Jupiter and Mars the hardest of all. No astrologer I know seems to know he said that or agree with it. But we are in a strange muddle both personally and politically, if I am reading the mood on X accurately. People are groaning and moaning about the border, Ukraine, Trump, Biden, and the overall breakdown of what has seemed normal for decades. 

Meanwhile Tulsi Gabbard seems to be at the center of a strange triangle, being floated as a possible VP candidate for both Trump and Kennedy! If she is Venus, she does not know yet to which Mars she shall ally, Donald or Bobby. Nor is it clear that she would be the top choice of either. She has, natally, the sun and three other planets in Aries and has a military background.  Through the square with Jupiter, she would shake up the presidential contest thoroughly if she joins with either of them. And Kennedy has said he shall announce his choice in the next two weeks, as required by some states for him to get on their ballots. Oy Vey. In the coming Fortnight chart (March 3-16, Mars (ruler of Aries, Tulsi) shall be exactly square Uranus, big excitement! I cannot forecast what shall happen. 

Meanwhile in our personal lives, what I reported here in the Tuesday and Wednesday reports continues. The symbols suggested quietude and review, yet the big square just mentioned is covert excitement, a desire for something big which probably will not be satisfied.

From the Borelli-Sepharial symbols: 'A wreck floating on a peaceful sea' is what we may feel like. Also, 'a hand and head separated from a body' as Disjunction or a 'what do I do now?' syndrome. Yet 'chemical instruments' allow us to Test things before they are implemented. This is something like the 'tentativeness' already indicated by the Charubel symbols. We may feel we are on 'a merry-go-round' (Sabian), caught in Diversions which can be entertaining as well as partly meaningless. As 'a raven' we may be Envious, yet we may also find our way to sit on a throne surrounded by wealth we have gained through Self-Service.
