• Contentment • "A man beating an ass with a stick" is savage, cruel and criminal. "Two bulls fighting together" are petulant and warlike, taking up arms and making enemies. The remaining symbols can be curatives for such malevolence and unrest. A person enjoying good luck covers himself with decorations and ornaments in a garden abounding with flowers and fountains. He or she is vain as a peacock. A man plays with colored balls, an immodest woman standing behind him. They need to develop force of character and worthy ambition. Maybe they should be more like "an old-fashioned clock" following a mechanical system of "rules to the letter," not inventive, but particular in details. A beautiful symbol sets forth "a nice villa on the northeast side of a green field surrounded by shrubberies." "One possesses an adequacy to keep him; and with this he has the disposition to be content." "An open window and a net curtain blowing into a cornucopia" suggests "unmerited good fortune" as Munificence. "Two lovers strolling through a secluded walk" are Enjoying life and each other enormously. Monday • Contentment • Moon in Aquarius goes void-of-course at 0:43a PT until entering Pisces at 1:57a PT.

Saturday 11th: • Strangers' Reticence • Strange! Some of the symbols for today point out that many are "strangers to the public and not very popular." Need I mention names? They and others may be victims of "a baneful comet with a long tail pointing toward the earth." Some notorious persons become "the scourge of nations." Others, more fortunate, sit in dark rooms surrounded by books, papers and mathematical instruments, capable of great achievements, but not benefiting themselves by their studies. Others are real or would-be revolutionists or agitators. "A red flag floats at the top of a high staff." Two fortunate cows do not notice a tiger ready to spring. Who are the cows and who the tigers in the ongoing negotiations in Pakistan? Let's pray for J. D. Vance. Is alcohol always a weakness? No, but "two men talk together with faces averted from a third with a tankard in his hand, ready to drink." Low habits and associations result from Weakness. Fortunate are you if you can throw your head back and laugh at the victims of these symbols! But pleasure at others' misery (Schadenfreude) is definitely sinful! Nevertheless, "a comedian entertaining a group" grants us needed Release. More genteel is "a woman in pastel colors carrying a heavy and valuable but veiled load." She accepts complete responsibility for her experience, with unimpeachable integrity. The keyword is Reticence. Saturday • Strangers' Reticence • Moon in Aquarius Sunday 12th: "A wiser word, a larger thought came in Than what the slow labor of human mind can bring, A secret sense awoke that could perceive A Presence and a Greatness everywhere. The universe was not now this senseless whirl Borne round inert on an immense machine; It cast away its grandiose lifeless front, A mechanism no more or work of Chance, But a living movement of the body of God." Sri Aurobindo, Savitri, p. 42 Moon in Aquarius Cosmic Piper

° Garden of Desire ° Several astrological timing systems suggest unleashed ambition. "A man is plowing in the midst of a boundless plain." But it is too early to be sure of an adequate harvest. Some, "tottering and uncertain, carry water which they spill on the ground." There could be wavering instability. One should ask oneself what one really desires. It might be good to spend some time in solitary prayer. "Thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly." As a recluse, one could possess hidden knowledge. "A woman rises out of water; a seal rises and embraces her." I leave the interpretation to you. The keyword is Realization. There is "mutual interdependence of the emotional and purposeful aspects of self." There is a time and place for "amusement, with singing, dancing, and music on the program in a large ballroom." "A right angle and plane lying on a table" indicate rectitude, strength, and peace in the service others: Fraternity and Liberality. So one might happen upon "The gate to the garden of desire." There is uncompromising faith and naive optimism, with unlimited days ahead and immeasurable frontiers yet to be crossed. The keyword is Prospect.

° Conscious Merit ° I do not believe in predicting tragedies. Yet we sometimes see a day's ominous symbols working out, such as this one today: "An anchor unattached to any vessel's chain, the cable broken." If we feel thus lost, we can refind our way through faith in the unfailing anchor, Christ Jesus. Likewise, if thoughts of death are disturbing, we can read and recall Jesus's promises concerning immortality. "A man plowing in the midst of a boundless plain" is ambitious to be first in everything, jealous of rivals, individual and original. If more mature, he might be a philanthropist, reformer or healer, possessed of mysterious magnetic powers. Craving for things unattainable could be arrant selfishness, like a dog chasing another for a bone. On the other hand, "a prizefighter entering the ring" is establishing his career confidently through Exertion. "A woman rises out of water, a seal rises and embraces her" is the mysterious Sabian symbol for Mars's position at 0 Aries. Unconditioned potentiality can be grasped through Realization. A new Bright Hermetic Epoch begins today (through June 12th) and plans begin to work out more smoothly. "A strong, prosperous-looking man stands with arms extended, holding in his hands a bowl full of wine." There is generosity, steadfastness, and sincerity, plus respectful friends. The keyword is Conscious Merit. Thursday ° Conscious Merit ° Moon in Capricorn Karmically sobering third of this week ends Friday morning. Cosmic Piper

• Hospitality • Someone is self-willed, with strong passions. "Two men strive to hold a mad bull with ropes about his head." Charubel warns against injury. "Fortify the soul, and pray to God for help and guidance." Some are bold and fearless pioneers, "equipped for a rough journey, belted and armed," Inquisitive. Maybe they will encounter The Great Stone Face (of Nathaniel Hawthorne's story), their own responsibility as an immortality of the soul. The keyword is Discernment. Some are useful members of society, unambitious and laborious, content with their present lot. This entitles them to "good living," as "a person at table preparing a meal which lies before him." "A young girl is feeding birds in winter." The keyword is Hospitality. "Two butterflies rest and fan their wings upon a bright orange flower." Many are sympathetic, graceful, happy to associate with those similar to themselves, desiring peace and concord. Upon them the heavens smile.

• Toward Validation • "A scrawl or flourish of the pen" is only a beginning, not enough. "A poor widow is nursing a baby and weeping near coal pits." Mining does not go well. What could help? Being particular in matters of detail, carrying on with exact habits, following an almost mechanical system like "an old-fashioned clock." One might begin by reading the Bible, guided out of every difficulty by walking in darkness with an old-fashioned lantern, faithful to truths taught by one's forefathers. Fear of loss makes some over-thrifty or miserly. Or one could be wisely acquisitive for good purposes. Acquiring wealth and fame shrewdly is watchful self-service. "A man is seated on a throne, holding a scepter, crowned, with signs of wealth around him." "A prism" indicates judgment of unusual accuracy enabling exceptional accomplishment. The keyword is Validation. "The magic carpet" carries us into freedom of spirit and soul through a widely winging interest in potentialities far removed from our normal promise.

As for feelings of gloom, they should be temporary , . . Unless someone gets caught up into a battlefield of deadly conflict. Still, a military career could be successful if that person heeds "an angel blowing a trumpet," pointing out, as a preacher, the correct and safe ethical path. How does it feel to be in the crew of Artemis II on the dark side of the moon? "An empty hammock" suggests "inner reorientation and outer readjustment," with the keyword Rumination. On the earth, "a portly man walks among pigeons flocking upon the ground at his feet." He is attractive to young persons. He inspires confidence and faith in others. "A man and woman stand hand in hand, looking with affection toward each other." There can be Amity, peace, and concord, with friendliness to all.

• The Dance Goes On • Different theologians have different notions as to what Jesus's experiences may have been on the Saturday between the crucifixion and the resurrection. This year one symbol for the day is "a man being tortured" and we may well pray for all those persecuted or ill-treated around the world. That includes many Christians. Few are their defenders, though some strategists are "mounted on the top of a hill with sword in hand as if on the lookout." The world's work continues even on most holy days. Charubel says that agriculturists are profiting by their labors. Other individuals are "possessed with strange influences" such as familiars or spirit companions, whether demonic or saintly or angelic. Some have comfort and happiness without labor, as if "well favored cows grazing in a park in the shade of trees." Perhaps this is the glade in which "a youth, book in hand, wanders, while sunlight slants through the trees and falls upon the figure of the student." There is peaceful contemplation and Passive Beauty. The cosmic-human dance goes on, and "Brownies are dancing in the setting sun" to the music of Invigoration. There are moments of life's culmination, as depicted by "a harvest moon." This is "self-consummation successful beyond any possibility of measure." The keyword is Benediction. Saturday • The Dance Goes On • Moon in Scorpio Sunday 5th, Easter: I wanted to post as today's message something from the Gospel of John, but cannot choose from a wealth of profundity.

We can pray to be in humble touch with the Supreme and His guardian angels, to protect us from any human treachery. A dark curtain like a pall, what Sri Aurobindo called the Inconscient, can be minimized or lifted through persistent aspiration. Are there two special individuals who guide your hopes? "Two horses" are used to "plow" or prepare consciousness for precious seed flowering in a higher manifestation. Then, to announce this to the world, a red flag is hoisted to the top of a staff. (Iran, for example, needs wise revolutionaries.) "An Indian weaving a blanket" has learned the value of Diligence for others and himself. Each tiny act builds toward a useful result. "A new moon divides its influences" in order to protect and test their effect in each case, with Finesse. "A man stands on a dais, in his hand a scroll, on his head a laurel wreath." His mind-wealth, expressed, acquires honors, dignity and favor. If he stands upright within a large elliptical figure on the ground, that shows his passionate love for the beautiful in art, nature, and human beings.

• From Isolation to Adventure • If you seem to labor without adequate results, still your aspirations are high and your motives good. I leave the interpretation to you of "a serpent coiling near a man and a woman." The keyword is Revelation. Two swords crossing each other suggest litigation or quarreling. When that has a deep motive of ethical Reformation it is something like "the purging of the priesthood." "A man in mid-ocean on a raft" has few friends or they are unable to help. However, he could recover and become "a true Solar man destined to rule or command" after his ordeal of Isolation. Then he is like "a man of benevolent countenance standing near a cottage chopping wood; around him are orchards and a sheep." His natural goodwill is its own reward. Then he might join another person in a boat on a large lake or river. Rowing together, they are fond of changes and adventures.

Again we have for the last time this year the symbol of a sword in hand to accomplish a noble Mission. It's sad if that involves violence, but "an unsuccessful bomb explosion" hints that there could be "an almost complete exemption from the normal penalties for unsocial results of a hapless initiative." The keyword is Impetuousness. War in Iran, the Straits, Lebanon, winding down? Let's hope and pray. On "An inhabited island" there is room for the Cultivation of one's own private world. Some may become reformers, healers, and philanthropists. "A woman is gathering grapes, with which she fills many baskets." Her acquisitive designs yield pleasures and shared benefits, Gathering Together. "A man at the summit of a mountain illumined by the setting sun holds a staff and a crown."

• Join the Wild Geese, or Cultivate Prosperity • Living alone, mentally isolated, not in sympathy with the present state of things? You're not the only one. The world seems a labyrinth, and to find one's own way, one becomes eccentric. At worst one could just give up and lie on the ground, one's hopes vanishing in the clouds. Or, better, one could join a flock of wild geese! There is an indomitable desire for freedom, yet also a promise of obligations to be met and ideals to be realized. Migration? Yes, but within a carefree Insouciance. Thus one could be led to "an inhabited island" where one is completely independent of the alien or the unfriendly. One capitalizes on whatever potentials one finds for Cultivation. Eventually that could even be a domestic, family situation. "A man is leading two children by the hands." Charubel gives three special stars, * * * , to "a person who will possess great magnetic powers, destroying popularized evils--a reformer, healer, and philanthropist." Anybody you know, past or present? On the mundane level, we have "a field of ripe corn ready for the sickle," fortunately bestowing "health of body, peace of mind, a most happy disposition, and prosperity."

• From Cruelty to Kindness • All must beware of morose magic. It might seem like simple justice when it is actually unspeakably evil. Deliberate cruelty is the greatest sin. It can get a foothold in those who, looking into the wrong end of a telescope, see everyone else as less than or worse than themselves and so become traducers, egotists and slanderers. Another hard symbol for the day is "a column of smoke ascending on a gigantic scale, followed by a terrible burst of flame." The Iran war needs a conclusion. Let us pray for answers from the meeting in Pakistan of officials from Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia seeking to mediate. "A woman of pleasant face holds a sword pointing earthward." She conquers enemies through native force and diplomacy. "The president of the country" has to know the meaning of self-sacrifice in order to succeed. He should shun destructive assertiveness or vain pretense. The keyword is Idealization. "Spiritist phenomena" could actually be "conscious cooperation with the potentials of an immortal reality."

I don't pretend to predict stock prices, but it is noteworthy that the first paragraph of Friday's forecast mentioned the keywords Cheerlessness and Gloom, while some market indices slipped down into "correction" territory. Wall Street is mostly cheerless and gloomy as I write on Friday. Saturday 28th: General money conditions are bleak for most, yet each personal bottom line waxes and wanes like the general financial indices, eventually going up like a spiral. "A straight road goes in a direct line up to a point from which lead four branch roads." One may miss one's way but eventually recover, and go on to teach or reform others. I leave "a farmyard with a lot of cows" to you to interpret. Maybe there are benefits from dairy products. "A man walking in darkness with an old-fashioned lantern" finds his way out of every difficulty guided by religious or moral truths taught by his forefathers. "A man standing on a lofty place with arms folded and head erect" is cool, collected and courageous. He gains his ends because of temerity and a positive disposition. The keyword is Pride. "A crystal gazer" "brings an entire universe within the purview of her mind," providing a foreview of every possible mood or situation. This aids in planning the course of events. The keyword is Acuteness. Moon in Leo Sunday 29th: "Her look, her smile awoke celestial sense Even in earth-stuff, and their intense delight Poured a supernal beauty on men's lives.

Avoidance of danger through a ruse or extraordinary presence of mind is a means of liberation. "A fox runs along a path beneath the shadow of a wall."

"Everything is green and on the move," says Charubel. "A man of powerful form riding on a restive horse" could be tyrannous or unjust while maintaining dignity and position. If he rides above people working in a valley, they may perceive his superiority as inimical to them. Someone lying in a dark, gloomy chamber sees a bright horizon presaging health and comfort. In fact, he or she may have a long life full of psychic power and brilliant gifts. "A square brightly lighted on one side" has the keyword Set.

• Through Distress toward the Circus • "A baneful comet" is "the scourge of nations, a notorious character in the hands of evil powers." This need not be taken literally, yet it is noteworthy that both Sri Aurobindo and Jesus warned against evil entities and influences. Both also pointed out ways of escape through prayer and submission to Deity. Gloom, darkness and distress can be overcome through silent aspiration, prayer and faith. There are also deleterious habits fallen into through weakness. ""A man stands with a tankard in his hand, ready to drink. Two others stand apart, talking together with averted faces." On the other hand, some are like officers on the lookout on the top of a hill, competent strategists either temporally or spiritually. As a corrective for issues of the first paragraph, we have "a triangle with wings" and the keyword Zeal. "A person climbs a rock in a fierce storm. Flashes of lightning reveal a strong figure climbing well." He or she, amid perilous adventures, passes through uncertainty and peril to final success.

For the 7th straight day we have had a warning against passionate or lustful desires which, if submitted to, are bad for health and longevity. In the woods abound wild plants of different kinds and colors. There is brusque, uncultivated natural wisdom in those of a rugged, rustic temperament.

There remains danger to health and well-being through perverse or lustful passions, which should be overcome. Two swords crossing each other denote a repellent disposition and quarreling, which could bring about disaster or serious injury. Charubel recommends fortifying the soul and praying to God for help and guidance. Not all foreign travel is connected with warfare. An Inquisitive person equipped for a rough journey follows new roads of knowledge and research.

It is not wrong to strip back to essentials and memories, and get extra daydreaming rest. Charubel warns against the Virulence of sinful passions and lusts which, if indulged, would afflict wellbeing and set back longevity. Evil may be, metaphysically, an illusion, but Charubel warns that some human beings attempt deliberately to hurt others through cruel black magic. Deep prayer and scriptural study could bring protection. Sepharial too warns against treachery arising from misplaced confidence and recommends extreme caution in all dealings. In these days of warfare, "a museum" is indeed a good place for "a sword." The surviving influence of great figures out of the past could cauterize warmongering. "Beat those swords into plowshares."

° Spiraling Benediction ° "An earthquake" is appropriate for world events grabbing the headlines, though most are Reversals caused by human beings rather than by nature. "A man out in mid-ocean on a raft, in pitiable distress" sounds like an oil tanker in the Straits of Hormuz. The keyword is Isolation. Obsession by occult (invisible) entities might be suspected. A familiar or spirit companion could be a childish prankster, or a saint or angel. At best he or she is fit to be a ruler or commander manifesting through a person of integrity. "Wheels within wheels" are in fact Spirals. Yours truly, Cosmic Piper, discovered a major cycle denominated the Hermetic Epoch. A Dark or Slow Epoch began February 11th and ends April 9th. An anchor on CBS News said on Sunday that Donald Trump's prediction of a turning point in the war added up to April 9th! It is highly unlikely that she or Trump have been perusing these forecasts. Their author "will possess most brilliant gifts but will not be appreciated by the present-day world. His influence will extend to future generations" according to Charubel.
