Message for Thursday 1 January 2026 ♤ Confidence, Authority, Mansion, Foundation ♤ Confidence. A man is standing on a rocky eminence with arms folded, in a contemplative mood. He has entire confidence in the cause he has espoused and his own abilities. Authority. Whether in church ministry or government service, some show forth diplomacy plus an ability to keep secrets. Reserved and self-reliant, they serve their Lord or their country. Mansion. Ancestors of a high order have bequeathed to someone a spacious park with a baronial mansion, although he or she may not be aware of the bequest Foundation. We have the ability to capitalize on opportunities brought to focus in ourselves and our world again and again. An absoluteness of self expresses itself with true conviction. An ancient bas-relief is carved in granite. It establishes for us a promising 2026. ♤ Thursday ♤ Confidence, Authority, Mansion, Foundation ♤ Moon in Gemini Karmically sobering third of this week has begun. Cosmic Piper

○ Examination, Judgment, Occultism, Magic ○ Examination. People are dexterous and particular in details, as if performing a post mortem on some delicate situation. Judgment. A man inspecting horses might be choosing between the old grey mare of 2025 and the dashing young steed of 2026. Occultism. "An owl sitting in the moonlight" is wise and patient, prudent and self-possessed. He discerns indications of the trend of events on this New Year's Eve. He discovers things occult or distant, centered in what is hidden from the common eye. Magic. "A fire worshiper" realizes an inviolable tie with the creative power of the universe itself. He reaches out to the divine, dedicating talents and possessions to the over-all reality, while exalting self and consummating its ambitions.

• Resentment, Explanation, Prodigy, Attunement • Resentment. Something that happened Saturday may continue to disturb you. Strong attachments are solidified or thwarted by rivalries and feuds. Explanation. Some believe in natural or scientific therapies, and lecture everyone about them whether or not their smug theories ring true. Reason should expand its facilities. Prodigy. Someone gigantic in body, mind or spirit has your attention and loyalty. Attunement. It's the Fifth Day of Christmas and the Christmas Angels are still with us carrying harps of hope. They show us how the limitations in any given situation may be avoided, inspiring us toward over-all harmony. • Monday • Resentment, Explanation, Prodigy, Attunement • Cosmic Piper Moon in Aries is void-of-course until entering Taurus at 3:58a PTFriday, December 26, 2025

Messages for Weekend of December 27th and 28th
Saturday 27: Jealousy. There are strong attachments with selfish designs. Then there is chagrin, bitter feeling and resentment, in yourself, someone else, or both. Searching. But you seek for a way out of the impasse, like someone at the bottom of a deep ravine with lamp in hand. Where there is good will there are answers. Hospitality. Some friends may warn you against the imposition of other friends. Nevertheless you are sympathetic and kind to all. A small cottage has a wide-open door. Nurture. We all depend on one another and on the world at large. It is good to take the initiative in meeting the needs of others. "An albatross is feeding from the hand." Then others will expend themselves for your sake. Moon in Aries Karmically sobering third of this week continues till evening. Sunday 28: Illimitability. A large group of pheasants might suggest over-all mediocrity. A stadium of sports fans? Or necessary social ritualization. Loftiness. There can be lonely meditations, ethereal and mildly misanthropic. "An eagle is carrying its prey in midair." Vigils strengthen the spirit. Sailing. The captain of a ship sails far from his birth-land, fond of change and perhaps foreign trade. Devotion. There is whole-heartednes, concentration, and perfect confidence in those to whom one has given one's heart. It appears to be surrounded by an aureole even if the object of affection seems unworthy. Such love is unfailing. Moon in Aries goes void-of-course at 6:14p PT Cosmic PiperThursday, December 25, 2025

° Distrust, Craftiness, Illumination, Attunement ° Distrust. A man hesitates to trust himself on a wooden bridge over a chasm. But some things need to be trusted, especially one's best friends. Craftiness. Is "a butcher conducting a sheep into the slaughterhouse" needlessly cruel? As a vegetarian, I think so, but not all agree. Some human beings are selfish, cruel and crafty. Illumination. Some rather are wise, subtle and profound, symbolized by "a serpent coiled around an uplifted beacon." There is probable success in any profession which leads clients to or by the light. Attunement. An angel is carrying a harp. It's just the second of the Twelve Days of Christmas, so the Christmas Angels are still with us. Their kindly inspiration can ameliorate the influences of the Distrust and Craftiness paragraphs. Happy Second Day of ChristmasWednesday, December 24, 2025

♡ Vacillation, Tower, Partisanship, Attunement ♡ Vacillation. A vane's arrow is pointing North (to Santa Claus?). Through procrastination, enterprises are undertaken and abandoned, their end veiled. Tower. Unpretentious, one looks out a small window in the wall of a massive tower. One's native powers and resources are so abundant that one is independent of external aids or gifts. Partisanship. Some may desire gifts but instead get political pamphlets from restless reformers. Attunement. A sense of spiritual source pervades our consciousness at Christmas. "An angel is carrying a harp." We inspire one another within an over-all festive harmony. Happy Christmas! ♡ Thursday ♡ Vacillation, Tower, Partisanship, Attunement ♡ Cosmic Piper Moon in PiscesTuesday, December 23, 2025

A boy and a girl stand with arms entwined. They might serve as connecting links between peoples, nations, or opinions. Ordering. A party is entering a large canoe to participate in happy experiences. Acting with others firms up individual surety. Establishment. Each of us makes his world his own, and calls on all to share it with him. "Birds in the house are singing happily."

○ Innocence, Discovery, Supremacy, Avidity ○ Innocence. A nude little boy is blowing bubbles. There is personal amusement at Christmastime. Discovery. Spading the soil, one finds that dark secrets of nature are revealed. Success crowns protracted work when one ignores well-intentioned advice, relying on one's own strong purposes. Supremacy. A veiled prophet of power masters natural forces and has unerring insight into the motives of human beings. Untapped resources are exalted. Avidity. The human soul is receptive to growth and understanding, responding to the influence of Christmas angels. ○ Tuesday ○ Innocence, Discovery, Supremacy, Avidity ○ Cosmic Piper Moon in Aquarius I recommend reading and pondering one chapter each day of the 89 chapters of the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Begin anywhere. I would suggest beginning with John, the gnostic gospel setting forth the Bread of Life.Sunday, December 21, 2025

¤ Tunnel, Commemoration, Thoroughness, Patience ¤ 1 Tunnel. The Winter Solstice snuck up on us Sunday at 7:04a PT. Are we entering or leaving "a dark tunnel"? Well, the days are getting longer just as Winter technically begins. We all know the holiday season can be a time of refreshment, so the forlorn darkness holds promise of light ahead. 2 Commemoration. "Three stained-glass windows, one damaged by bombardment" suggest that we continue to care about those gone from this visible world. In memory, and actually though invisibly, they remain alive. 3 Thoroughness. "A dark archway and ten logs at the bottom" is suggestive of paragraph 1. Darkness conceals treasure. In Kabalah there are ten Sephiroth; astrologers use ten moving lights; we have ten fingers. With complete information we direct our destiny consciously. 4 Patience. In spite of any obstacles, one can steadfastly regard all tasks as trivial, and attain to the position one has set out to gain, like "a tortoise." ¤ Tunnel, Commemoration, Thoroughness, Patience ¤ Cosmic Piper Moon in Capricorn goes void-of-course at 6:45a PT until entering Aquarius at 7:53a PT.Friday, December 19, 2025

□ Abscission, Anatomy, Honor, Ordering □ 1 Abscission. Looking at headlines we become sadly aware of unspeakable cruelty or tragedy, something like "a broken tree struck by a lightning flash." But roots remain as sources of recovery. 2 Anatomy. Some resort to physiological study and surgery, while others seek and find miraculous cure through superphysical spiritual means. Spirit and mind control body. 3 Honor. A lion standing alone is fearless of foes, high-minded, courageous, protective. 4 Ordering. Non-military individuals find other effective ways of contributing to human safety and solidarity. The symbol is "a party entering a large canoe." □ Friday □ Abscission, Anatomy, Honor, Ordering □ Cosmic Piper Moon in Sagittarius goes void-of-course at 7:42p PT until entering Capricorn at 8:54p PT.

☆ Toil, Strife, Commemoration, Star ☆ 0 The economic data held back by the shutdown was released Tuesday, the first day of a Bright Hermetic Epoch as announced Monday. Also, Zelensky says that he and Russia may be closer to a peace plan negotiated in Berlin, with more talks likely this weekend. Let us pray. 1 Toil. Hard Saturn aspects keep us busy even if we long for holiday pleasures. Though not slaves, we still have to pay our dues. 2 Strife. Unnecessary contention and litigation should be avoided. Two arrows crossed could at best be contrary opinions facing each other in a Hegelian dialectic toward mutual understanding. 3 Commemoration. Recent victims of violence (filling the headlines) are being memorialized. "Among three stained-glass windows, one is damaged by bombardment." We seek to vitalize human unity and mutual protection. 4 Star. You may be seeing one displayed in your home, atop a tree in the neighborhood, or in your favorite restaurant. Wish upon it, for it might disappear for eleven months. It rays forth poetry, painting, music, genius. ☆ Wednesday ☆ Toil, Strife, Commemoration, Star ☆ Cosmic Piper Moon in Scorpio goes void-of-course at 7:25a PT until entering Sagittarius at 8:40a PTMonday, December 15, 2025

° Commemoration, Nobility, Prosperity, Mastery ° 0 The number of grisly killings and tragedies in the past few days has been overwhelming. In astrological transits we have not far to look for correlations: Hard aspects to Saturn from the sun, Mars and now Venus. Saturn has earned his reputation as a sadist, I'm sorry to say, though to deeper vision he is just enforcing necessary laws of karma. 0.0 However, on the positive side, after the Dark Hermetic Epoch which began October 20th we enter today, at 2:22a PT, a fresh Bright Hermetic Epoch until February 11th. Less craziness or seeming dementia, fewer troubling out-of-pattern confusing events and danger-fraught decisions. Praise the Lord. 1 Commemoration. We still live in the shadow of the just-mentioned tragedies, symbolized by "three stained-glass windows, one damaged by bombardment." All leave a record in history and should be careful that it is not destructive but constructive. 2 Nobility. A flag-bearer emphasizes the natural supremacy of common ideals over wholly selfish ambitions. There is spiritual exaltation through dramatic service to all. 3 Prosperity. "The good things of life " can be both noble and materially pleasurable. A lady sitting on a divan fanning herself is basking in good fortune. 4 Mastery. In fact, a balance of the mental and spiritual with the physical is suggested by two triangles interlaced with a third superposed, the magnificent symbol of David in the West and Vishnu in the East. There can be conquest, self-government and rulership. ° Commemoration, Nobility, Prosperity, Mastery ° Cosmic Piper Moon in ScorpioSunday, December 14, 2025

• Vanity, Captivity, Emulation, Inflexibility • 1 Vanity. A man viewing himself in a looking-glass may overestimate his own calling, devoting energies to a vain pursuit. 2 Captivity. A serpent surrounded by a circle of fire is passionate but has to pass through a fiery ordeal, perhaps in a beleaguered city. Yet stress and limitation can be overcome. 3 Emulation. A chubby boy on a hobbyhorse, in his days of play and training, fixes eyes steadily on a pyramid of goals ahead. He keeps on trying his hand at nascent skills. 4 Inflexibility. An Indian chief demanding recognition is maintaining every advantage gained through birth and experience. We all can feel secure in the place we have made for ourselves through dignity of character. • Monday • Vanity, Captivity, Emulation, Inflexibility • Cosmic Piper Moon in ScorpioFriday, December 12, 2025

Saturday 13: 1 Abandonment. It is probably not true that you are figuratively "afloat upon a raft," but you could feel temporarily shipwrecked and deserted, perhaps because of daring enterprises and unique adventures. 2 Resentment. Affections may feel insecure and confidences misplaced. Loving without an evoked response makes one forlorn instead of hopeful. Let's exorcise jealousy and misanthropy. 3 Participation. Ordinary duties could be the cure. A fat boy mowing the lawn or shoveling snow is pouring all of himself into the mastery of his situation. 4 Artistry. A person at a table with drawing instruments and paper could be a good architect or engineer, or a lover of the fine arts. Moon in Libra Sunday 14: 1 Impulsiveness. A person walking on the edge of a precipice may be reckless or just sensitive and impulsive. He or she is affectionate, and honorable in all transactions. 2 Abscission. Do some of your projects seem vain, abortive or catastrophic? Even a tree struck by lightning has a chance to recover fully in a new season. Trust in your roots. 3 Grotesqueness. Why is a person's face painted with grotesque scrolls and surrounded by a mass of tangled hair? Only he or she knows. It could be mere eccentricity or sheer genius. 4 Sanctity. At the other extreme is a life exalted in a social, political or religious hierarchy, such as the career of the Pope. He is strengthened within himself by the appreciation he wins, and then may sacrifice himself in enduring service to the race at large.

• Vacuity, Strife, Wildness, Participation • 1 Vacuity. We remain in a Dark Hermetic Epoch until Tuesday-Wednesday. It can feel like we're in a black hole or cavern in a rock. Futile projects and merger fortunes? We should think more of others than ourselves. 2 Strife. Contention or litigation would set us against the current of public feeling or opinion. When two swords are crossed, only Hegelian Dialect, applied, can save the day. 3 Wildness. There is love of the marvelous in nature, such as a stupendous waterfall--the romantic in nature, art, and life. 4 Participation. Or, more normally, one could expend oneself for the immediate needs of the group, like a fat boy mowing the lawn or shoveling snow. Calm efficiency favors health and well-being. • Friday • Vacuity, Strife, Wildness, Participation • Cosmic Piper Moon in Virgo goes void-of-course at 6:52a PT until entering Libra at 8:05a PT.

• Doubt, Soldiering, Intellect, Conservation • 1 Doubt. A man is hesitating to trust himself on a wooden bridge over a chasm. A fearful disposition is suspicious even of best friends. 2 Soldiering. A man in full armor, helmet on head and spear in hand, is of good proportions and fond of military pursuits. 3 Intellect. Resolving the first two paragraphs could be done through study of literature and history. A quantity of books and papers in disorder grace the desk of a prolific writer who gains distinction. 4 Conservation. The questionable bridge of paragraph 1 might actually be an old bridge over a beautiful stream, an emblem of the dependability of man-made structures at their best, and of nature's joy in making them part of herself. • Thursday • Doubt, Soldiering, Intellect, Conservation • Cosmic Piper Moon in Virgo Karmically sobering third of this week is at its most intense, through the evening.

Yet even Elon Musk submits to duties, and John the Baptist and St. Paul carried on spiritual missions while imprisoned. Narrow limits are sometimes useful. 2 Partisanship. A person distributing papers among a multitude of people could be a superficial reformer or a restless enthusiast. 3 Marksmanship. Or he or she could be an expert marksman aiming at some goal in the distance--humane and prosperous. 4 Immortalization.
