Saturday 3: ~Contemplation, Softness, Affirmation~

The weekend may find us being hard on ourselves, feeling gloomy that we have not attained what we thought we could in our work or a project. We gravitate to "a dark and lonely pool overhung by wooded banks" for contemplation and philosophical musing. "In the silence and solitude of his soul he will enter into an intimate communion with Nature, blessed with an understanding of her more obscure laws---his mind pervaded by a peace which none will be able to disturb." 

From Nature's pool to the tankards of a pub may or not be a wise journey. 'A wineglass overturned" spills uncontained passions and extravagant feelings. There is intelligence, geniality and conviviality; however, "a strong and steady hand" is needed to prevent "reversal and undoing." 

With or without wine or other chemical crutches, one could luxuriate beneath "a soft cloudy cumulus upon a bright horizon." There are favors from Fortune and one may be "the friend of those who have influence and power in the land." One's mind is set to attain high truths. Oneself and others may display "inoffensiveness, gentleness, forbearance and suavity." The keyword is Mollience, "softening."

"Two lovebirds are sitting on a fence." There is "shared richness or tenderness in human personality." "The whole world loves a lover" and "the average individual is much more interested in the romantic than the practical rewards of life." The lovebirds are loyal to each other. The keyword is Affirmation.

Sunday 4: ^Trending Toward Accomplishment^

"A man struggling in a lake appears to sink under but rises again and again. A lifebuoy is thrown to him by a witness and finally he is saved." Even if some are on the verge of bankruptcy or other disaster they can be delivered by an unexpected "god-send."

"A man riding at high speed on a well-conditioned horse" could be driving a spectacular car in this era. He knows horses, or automobiles, traveling afar in a romantic life, undertaking "hardy exploits." His work could be as an importer or explorer, though he could incline to law or scholarship. As well as horses or cars, he trains and directs his mental powers. 

"A big-business man at his desk" participates efficiently in everyday affairs" and "maintains the advantages he may have won, undisturbed within himself through ramifying vicissitudes.' 'Personality is developed as it is challenged to prove itself." The keyword is Accomplishment.

Do you care about the Presidential contest coming up in 9 months? I hope so. Pluto will be at the final degree of Capricorn then (having gone back into it from Aquarius) and Mercury is at that degree today. I cannot think of anyone in the race but Bobby Kennedy who fits the description of this degree: "A shepherd on the mountain top with crook in hand, looking out for the locality of his sheep." "One who, by reason of his superior powers and advantageous position, will be called to b a leader and commander of a society, a community, or perchance a nation, in the capacity of president. This degree is pre-eminently the degree of rule, and whoever is denoted by it will be a ruler indeed." It is true that Mars was at that degree exactly during the election of 2016 at the time of Donald Trump's amazing upset. This time? Maybe Trump can pull it off again. I myself hope it shall be RFK Jr.
