Message for Week of December 28--January 4, 2024-25

♤ Continuing Creation ♤ 1 An empty rostrum suggests that one may miss one's calling or be unconscious of real abilities which could make one an important factor in the character of society. 2 Instead one could resemble a man climbing a Maypole to procure a crown of flowers. He wants nothing but approbation and popularity. 3 An astrological chart in square form is the instrumentation of a just, kind person who wants to help people understand their lives and missions. 4 A complicated figure composed of quadrangles and triangles represents an accurate reasoner and profound philosopher. His vast powers of intellect laugh at puny AI and make an impression on his age. (Possible candidates: Sri Aurobindo and Marc Edmund Jones.) 5 Crossed swords surrounded by a wreath of laurels signify powers of attack and defense, either as a soldier or in the legal field or as a diplomat. Incisive speech will gain honors. 6 We have spoken of the ethically demanding Jupiter-Saturn square exact now though lasting through next July. It summons and builds character. Saturn's symbol this week is "a hand with a sword in it, enveloped in a halo of golden light. That sword is not for indiscriminate slaughter. It is to defend the right." "Whoever thou art, thou hast a mission to accomplish." Yet we all have seen in the news how horribly a sense of mission can go awry. Let's be careful, and settle things through diplomacy as far as possible. 7 You may find yourself enjoying the privileges of "a spacious park with a baronial mansion in the background," whether this is your own or public property. You may be entitled to more than you are actively using. 8 From the formless matrix of one's inner being, colorful ideas spring forth to decorate New Year hopes. A butterfly, 2025, is emerging from the chrysalis of 2024. There is "uncompromising faith in the promise of existence itself and in the wonders of a continuing creation." Happy New Year!
