• Mission Vulnerability Opportunity Babe • Mission. One with occult ability and a conquest to make is likened unto "A warrior in bright armor with drawn sword pursuing a savage multitude." Vulnerability. There are "extreme powers of penetration," but unless one does not deny one's own convictions they could lead to trouble and disgrace. "A target is pierced by a rapier." Headstrong? "Let him beware of the direct thrust." Opportunity. There is much intrigue surrounding the destiny of Greenland and other stupefying international issues, symbolized by "A secret business conference." Davos aftermath? Babe. Charubel: "One whose inner nature few understand and who will not be popular in this century; one outwardly a babe, but inwardly a giant--'of such is the kingdom of heaven.'" (Perhaps a refreshing cure for the first three paragraphs.)

• Signature Apperception Mission Romanticism • Signature. "A woman reading tea leaves" may ascertain the fate of Greenland as well as anyone else. She establishes a conscious relationship with an invisible world of over-reality. Your naive insights could ring true. Apperception. "An archer drawing a long bow" is good at teaching and prophecy as well as manual crafts. His mind is set on things remote from his environment. He is careful, and may travel far. Mission. "A warrior in bright armor with drawn sword pursues a savage multitude." Could this be ICE, from some viewpoints? Charubel says it is one with a righteous mission to accomplish, a White Magician! (No racism implied). "Go and conquer" he admonishes. Romanticism. "The hollow trunk of a tree is covered with moss." Charubel says this emblemizes one who will outlive the other members of his family. "A romantic degree, this." Wednesday • Signature Apperception Mission Romanticism • Moon in Pisces Karmically sobering third of this week begins in the evening hours, most intense late Thursday and early Friday. Cosmic Piper

• Crossroads Egotism Signature Durability • Crossroads. Indecision can be weakness, or else just waiting for a decisive event to precipitate action. Egotism. A woman, nude, looks at her reflection in a pool of water. She is artistic, possibly good at portraiture or sculpture. Dalliance and self-love are sinful only if carried to extremes. Signature. The naive insight of "a woman reading tea leaves" could be "high intelligence in meeting the recurrent issues of life" through "conscious relationship with an invisible world of over-all reality." A pattern of possible consummations is discerned. Durability. "An old adobe mission" is the abode of those with "effective breadth of vision and respect-compelling depth of character." That makes for everlasting sustainment. Tuesday • Crossroads Egotism Signature Durability • Moon in Aquarius goes void-of-course at 6:18p PT until entering Pisces at 10:51p PT Cosmic Piper

• Community Authority Opportunity Pasturage • Community. A large aviary symbolizes "success in making all personal concerns a matter of common welfare." Human potentialities are administered on a social level, with accompanying personal fulfillment. Authority. A Chinese mandarin arrayed in an official robe of purple and gold and blue exudes merit in diplomatic or governmental work. Entrusted with high secrets, he manifests inherent dignity and repose. Opportunity. At a secret business conference, effective allegiances are formed among the principal personalities of an inner circle controlling immediate eventualities, monopolizing the resources of others. Pasturage. At the end of the day, all are escorted home like cows from their pastures. Is that the Deity's loving hand guiding us? Monday • Community Authority Opportunity Pasturage • Moon in Aquarius Cosmic Piper

Saturday 17th; Lassitude. This is the final day of an Old (waning) moon, when extra rest may be appropriate. "A man lies upon a sheaf of corn, asleep, with viands at his side." Purgatory. At worst there could be a descent into vile self-indulgence and bad company. "Too revolting to be given" is Charubel"s comment on the symbol. Restlessness. A happier, lighter mood is brought to us by "a water sprite." Spontaneity is a necessary imaginative quickening to values. One can escape from the drab or commonplace. Definition. There can be an internalization of values, as measured and facilitated by "a sextant and compass." Some are reliable and useful guides to others because regulated by exact principles. That is a cure for the Purgatory paragraph. Moon in Capricorn Sunday 18th: The New Moon of Capricorn occurs at 11:53a PT / 2:53p ET. We're at a zero point of the winter, defined ineffably by Sri Aurobindo: "She was a point in the Unknowable. She was in That but still became not That. This shadow of herself so close to nought Could be again self's point d'appui to live, Return out of the Inconceivable And be what some mysterious vast might choose. Even as the Unknowable decreed, She might be nought or new-become the All, Or if the omnipotent Nihil took a shape Emerge as someone and redeem the world." --Savitri, p. 549 Moon in Capricorn goes void-of-course at 1:58p PT until entering Aquarius at 2:19p PT.

Message for Friday 16 January 2026 • Directness Deliverance Consignment Rusticity • Directness. An arrow in flight could miss its mark if behind it there is not sufficient power of direction or adaptation to overcome contrary (windy) public opinions. Deliverance. A man struggles in a lake, now up then down, until someone throws him a lifebuoy and he is saved. Some will be delivered by unexpected god-sends. Consignment. There could be "effective employment of the facilities and goods of a modern society" as if one were "an otiental-rug dealer." Various resources are used advantageously through enduring competency. Rusticity. A life of quiet retirement and rustic work is the lot of some. A sometimes morose temperament cannot conceal sincerity and genuine kindness, displayed in "a stretch of broken country with a fringe of woodland." Spring lurks just beneath the surface of the soil. Friday • Directness Deliverance Consignment Rusticity • Moon in Sagittarius goes void-of-course at 3:20a PT until entering Capricorn at 3:48a PT. Karmically sobering third of this week continues until early hours of Saturday.

▪︎ Purgatory Sanguineness Consignment Definition ▪︎ Purgatory. "Too revolting to be given" says Charubel of this degree, warning against stimulants, gambling hells and bad company. "Develop thy higher nature and thou mayest save thyself." Sanguineness. Brilliant anticipations come with a cloudless sky, but also disappointment--not enough rain to grow crops. Consignment. However, as if "an oriental-rug dealer," one can utilize practical advantages and resources commercially, weaving them into a fabric of familiar transactions. Definition. One who understands how to use "a sextant and compass" becomes a sextant and compass for others, as if a cardinal of the church or the director of a successful trading company. He does not lose his way, because he follows exact principles. Thursday ▪︎ Purgatory Sanguineness Consignment Definition ▪︎ Moon is in Sagittarius. Karmically sobering third of this week is at its most intense today and tonight; gone by Saturday morning. Cosmic Piper

° Rusticity Ferry Consecration Ripeness ° Rusticity. Any faint signs of Spring yet? Somewhere there is "a stretch of broken country with a fringe of woodland." Rugged souls are not uncouth but sincere and genuine, gruff and kind. Ferry. A boat taking people across a wide deep stream denotes a guide and teacher of the public, of more service to others than himself. Consecration. A woman entering a convent develops and maintains some enduring allegiance of an over-all significance, giving up a biological for a spiritual family. The soul finds itself only as it feels itself a participant in all-self. Ripeness. Reapers are at work 'neath the beams of the sun in a field of ripe corn. Many have arrived at a point in their lives where good fortune smiles on them and an abundance is their lot. Wednesday ° Rusticity Ferry Consecration Ripeness ° Moon is in Sagittarius. Karmically sobering third of this week begins in mid-afternoon, most intense on Thursday.

Message for Tuesday 13 January 2026 • Standstill Consecration Recognition Tranquility • Standstill. "A coal pit in a dilapidated condition" suggests loss through outmoded machinery or effete procedures. Consecration. Therefore it could be time to reach for spiritual reassurance and direction; retreat from the world to regrasp it from a higher dimension. "A woman is entering a convent." Recognition. Resourcefulness and aliveness hold social and political gains, exalting personal vision and character. "Two awards for bravery in war" acknowledge dedicated social stewardship. Tranquility. "On a wide open seascape are distant sailing boats." One may be calm, thoughtful, genial and sunny; disposed to peace yet surprisingly strong when roused. One is gentle yet irresistible. There is a taste for travel or an interest in distant lands.

▪︎ Sparkle Expediency Bet Recognition ▪︎ Sparkle. A lack of solidity of character could give one over to vanities, dabbling and collapse. Yet there is a superficial reflection of occult verities. "A series of bubbles are floating in the air." Expediency. "A general is accepting defeat gracefully." He employs realistic opportunism, turning setback into accomplishment, or winning over his conqueror. Bet. Nobody knows which racer on the racecourse shall win, but bookmakers and bettors are busy speculating. Recognition. "Two awards for bravery in war" both belong to Donald Trump and his forces, according to him. Others may disagree, yet he has a knack for choosing the right side. How are you exalting your personal vision and character? Monday ▪︎ Sparkle Expediency Bet Recognition ▪︎ Moon in Scorpio Cosmic Piper

Saturday 10: Struggle. "A lonely traveler with a heavy burden is assaulted by ruffians." This could resemble, sadly, what happens to some protesters in Iran. Determination. "A plow" suggests definition of purpose and incisiveness. One cuts out a line in life against obstructions. Fitness. Thoroughgoing co-operation with others develops individual skill, as in "a relay race." One's importance to one's fellows is one's certainty of self-continuance. Magnum Opus. "An ancient hieroglyphic manuscript with a retort and crucible upon it" are implements for the Great Work of alchemical science, differently defined by each researcher, both to advantage himself and benefit the world. Moon in Libra goes void-of-course at 9:55a PT Sunday 11:

CORRECTION: The moon enters Scorpio at 2:56a PT on Sunday, not 2:56p PT. That gives us 12 more hours that are NOT void-of-course.

Incontinence. A wineglass is overturned! Feelings, passions, and waste could be excessive. But there is fine intelligence and a genial disposition. Expedience. A general is accepting defeat gracefully. He is loyal to his long-range ends, yet realistically practical. He transforms setback into accomplishment. Museum. The walls of a spacious hall are covered with symbols and hieroglyphics. We may be pondering the antiquarian, curious or mystical. Merriment. In accord with the wineglass paragraph, some just want to enjoy themselves with no care for the future. "A man of good proportions and round, rosy features is looking very merry and dancing grotesquely." Moon in Libra is void-of-course until entering Scorpio at 2:56a PT Cosmic Piper

○ Mideast Adaptation Magnum Opus Worship ○ Mideast. When shall that part of the world cease being "a trouble spot"? When it becomes secular rather than Islamic? Adaptation. An ape seated before a mirror may be a vain worldling but has powers of imitation, acting, adaptation and expression. Magnum Opus. Scientific, spiritual, commercial or other researches constitute alchemical renovation, even up to the transformation or immortalization of the body, the Great Work. Worship. A hidden choir is singing out the eternal music of the spheres, a symphony of cosmic reconciliations. "Each and every element of inharmony is reordered as a participating distinctiveness of the whole. All men are at one in the universal pattern." Friday ○ Mideast Adaptation Magnum Opus Worship ○ Moon in Libra

Karmically sobering third of this week ends in early evening.

° Dilapidation Inspection Adaptation Expectation ° Dilapidation., "A coal pit, the machinery at a standstill, the whole of the plant in a dilapidated condition." This is almost exactly the way Donald Trump has described the oil wells of Venezuela which he wants to revitalize, starting with his meeting with oil executives on Friday. Inspection. A man inspecting horses (or oil wells or anything) is a good judge of them. Adaptation. An ape seated before a mirror may be vain, superficial and egotistical, but has powers of imitation, acting, adaptation and expression. Expectation. A child of about five with a huge shopping bag thinks he can fit the world into it. Thursday ° Dilapidation Inspection Adaptation Expectation ° Moon in Virgo goes void-of-course at 3:24p PT until entering Libra at 4:07p PT.

° Strife Defender Gambler Expectation ° Strife. Some are so aggressive and quarrelsome as to be led into difficulties and dangers. Opposing everything, they create discord, and may be deserted or abandoned. Defender. Others are truly knightly and noble, defending the defenseless, aiding the poor. "A man at the gate keeps guard over an encampment of women, children, old people and invalids." Gambler. At a racecourse, bookmakers and bettors devote time and money to their speculations. Nobody can inform them of the results. Expectation. Or one may participate in more normal opportunity-clinching fitting one's own range of skills, like "A child of about five with a huge shopping bag." Wednesday ° Strife Defender Gambler Expectation ° Moon in Virgo Karmically sobering third of this week is with us, most intense Thursday, gone by Friday evening. Note: If things seem hard, it is usually the first paragraph which describes the problem, while the other three may offer solutions. Cosmic Piper

Message for Tuesday 6 January 2026 ▪︎ Despondency Supervision Immersion Harmony ▪︎ Despondency. Does life seem monotonous and gloomy? A man is standing on a barren plain, leaden-colored clouds overhead. Does Arthur Brooks of The Free Press have clues to being happy? I recommend rather Christ Jesus, Sri Aurobindo, and Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Avatars. Supervision. Donald Trump seems to think that directing and overseeing nations and corporations gives him fulfillment, his flown flag being not The Union Jack but The Stars and Stripes, representing a greater community of interest. Immersion. A girl is bathing surreptitiously in the nude. She is stripping to essentials in order to dramatize her basic characteristics and potentials. Harmony. A lyre lying upon a wreath of flowers may represent a poet or musician; someone talented and tractable, constant in his or her attachments, persuasive and subtly influential. Moon in Leo goes void-of-course at 5:06a PT until entering Virgo at 8;58a PT Tuesday ▪︎ Despondency Supervision Immersion Harmony ▪︎

▪︎ Maze Instruction Animation Immersion ▪︎ Maze. Some are fond of enigmas. Ingenuity does not necessarily protect them from foolish whims. What is aMAZEment? Instruction. Fortunately, one can be successful in scholastic or legalistic endeavors, as if "riding upon a well-conditioned horse." These days, that might be one's favorite version of AI, or more traditional study. Animation. "Boys and girls in gymnasium suits" estimate and re-estimate their powers and capacities through trial and training. There is joint action, or supervision of group effort. Immersion. "A girl surreptitiously bathing in the nude" is stripping back to essentials to gain self-renewal. The human body is a temple of the spirit. Psychological renunciation achieves a new dimension of conscious reality. Monday ▪︎ Maze Instruction Animation Immersion ▪︎ Moon in Leo

Saturday 3: Criticism. "A harrow standing on an open field" brings to light fallacies, impediments and imperfections in human thinking. Some are sarcastic or pugnacious. Abundance. "Many toys in the children's ward of a hospital" suggests gradual recovery from immature disorders for someone you know. Aspiration. "A tripod with flames of fire issuing from a brazier" represents chastity and purification. Also, ambassadorship, travel and spiritual research. Refinement. We can enjoy the ornamental or beautiful in nature and art, blessed by the planet or goddess Venus. Moon in Cancer Sunday 4: Independence. Some, free of external aids, are happy amid the offspring of their own genius, as if looking through a small unpretentious window in the wall of a massive tower. Abundance. See the Abundance paragraph in the Saturday forecast. Animation. Boys and girls in gymnasium suits bring an aliveness of interest to everything in which they participate. Suavity. "A soft cloudy cumulus upon a bright horizon." There are favors of fortune. The mind is set on high truths. He or she will be regarded as gentle and gracious. You can select the paragraph applying most to you. Moon in Cancer goes void-of-course at 5:01a PT until entering Leo at 5:45a PT Cosmic Piper

▪︎ Craftiness, Abundance, Architecture, Aspiration ▪︎ Craftiness. You may know someone "given to acts of subtlety and craftiness and disposed to lead a predatory life," likened to "a fox running apace in the moonlight." He or she is in danger of exile. Let's pray for such individuals. Abundance. There are "many toys in the children's ward of a hospital." There is "inescapable richness of life in any normal manifestation of itself." Architecture. There is veneration for the sacred and antique, symbolized by "a lofty building with nave and massive pillars on each hand." Aspiration. There is adventure plus honor in the pursuit of lofty ambitions. There is chastity plus purity of life. "On a tripod, flames of fire issue from a brazier." Today is the Ninth Day of Christmas. Friday ▪︎ Craftiness, Abundance, Architecture, Aspiration ▪︎ Moon in Gemini goes void-of-course at 4:25a PT until entering Cancer at 5:10a PT.
