This Dark Hermetic Epoch (November 7 till January 4): How to Navigate It 1 The Dark and Bright Epochs alternate and each lasts about two months. 2 They are based on the speed and orbit of Mercury (Hermes in Greek). 3 Always the 3-week Mercury Retrograde period is at the center of a Dark or Slow Epoch. This time that's November 25 to December 15. 4 The other four weeks of a Dark Epoch (two before and two after the MR phase) are very similar to the MR period. 5 The Dark or Slow Epoch (where we are now until January 4) is not "bad" but can be confusing. At worst, there are delays and incompetences, mechanical or technological time-consuming glitches, and differing opinions or approaches that are hard to reconcile. 6 The past is present in big and unexpected ways. This can be in dreams or daydreams. You may watch old movies or return to books you've read before. We are REexperiencing or REthinking elements of our personal past and of the world's past. 7 This trend is healthy but sometimes seems to interfere with attending to current necessities. Living in the past and present concurrently is an art form to be developed during these times. 8 Psychic phenomena and spiritual experiences are prominent. 9 Old "sins" or bad habits may sneak back and take over for a while. 10 Old friends and relatives become more significant than usual. This can be very positive, as in the year-end holiday season this time. 11 You are likely to modify your schedules and do things in "out of pattern" style. That is fine, but it's wise to decide on some linchpins in daily or weekly schedules so you don't get lost in a welter of side issues. 12 Knowing about all this can be so clarifying, comforting and strengthening that I shall write more about it. I hope many readers will save this post and share it. [Thursday] Navigating the Dark Epoch Cosmic Piper Thursday: Moon in LeoWednesday, November 20, 2024

Abortive enterprises bring on loss of
Reputation. A key turned in the lock breaks
Off in the hand. There is a cross to bear
Before entering the gates of the Temple of
/
Wisdom. Elaborate researches require
Patience to be acute, cunning and cautious.
A snake is coiled around a tree in a garden
Of many-hued flowers. Some are genial, kindly
/
And sociable. The autistic, ornamental and aesthetic
Combine with happy, fortunate associations.
On a rocky eminence has been carved a cross
In stone. It stands with the rising sun, haloed
/
In divine light. Spiritual and religious studies
Make minds firm, dependable and secure.

It seems very lucky that Donald Trump chose most of his top-level cabinet appointments last week. If you revisit what I said in this report for that week you'll see a number of very bright, optimistic, uplifting symbols.
This week is not the same, and that coincides with the fact that Mercury is slowing down, to go retrograde from November 25 to December 15. There is much opposition to some of Thump's picks, and deal-making is needed to get some confirmed. Fortunately a new Bright Hematic Epoch shall begin January 4 before the new Administration assumes power.
1 "An empty space" fits the fact that the current Cabinet is lame-duck, while the new one is uninstalled. Charubel says, "A very weak character, open to extraneous influences of any kind." The press and media are certainly "extraneous" and misleading influences. Many of us will "not be disposed to any kind of work of a plodding nature."
2 "A man at the end of a wooden bridge over a chasm hesitates to trust himself on it." This indicates "One of a fearful disposition; inclined to doubt everything, and to suspect even his best friends." Much suspicion is being thrown at Bobby Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, and Matt Gaetz, while others think they are "the best friends of the nation." Again, it seems fortuitous that DJT picked his major allies last week. In your own life, are you inclined to distrust some who could actually be "best friends"?
3 "A man inspecting horses" could instead be inspecting other human candidates to run in the "race" of the new Washington team. Also, the media, podcast hosts and interviewees, will all be "inspecting" the likely new government officials.
4 We still have the sinister unnamed degree of "black magic" or an impulse to hurt people. One might observe this on both sides of the political spectrum, and also realize that some are not "wolves in sheep's clothing" but "sheep in wolves' clothing." The tares and the wheat grow together, said Jesus. Ethical judgments are not easy at this point of our history. Justice working out may seem injustice at times.
5 What about the wars we so earnestly wish to quell, if we are good human beings? "Men are working, in an almost nude state owing to the heat, in the engine room of a large steamer." "Some may leave their native land under very gloomy circumstances and endure much suffering. I advise such an one to live very quietly; never to take on himself any office of trust involving great responsibilities." Cool it. "Come and see what the Lord has done; from end to end of the earth he stamps out war." --Psalm 46
6 Yet it seems, for now, that some are called to military duties. "A man in full armor, with helmet on head and spear in hand," is "fond of military pursuits. He is a good soldier, generally of very good proportions." Preparation for securing peace could seem warlike.
7 "A large ball of fire flying through the air" denotes "one who has an extraordinary mission. He cannot fail to become a ruler of men, and a giant intellectually and morally if not physically." Sylvester Stallone, at a Mar a Lago party, proclaimed Donald Trump to be the new George Washington.
Other leaders are of a more esoteric character, especially during a Dark or Slow Hermetic epoch when so much outward uncertainty prevails. Who are your spiritual guides?

An X ray symbolizes unknown but discoverable
qualities. Intelligence depends on unvarying
Structures of nature. Trustworthy investigation
Validates the investigator. Some who are austere
/
And rigid in their methods of life are actually
Hospitable, generous and warm-hearted. Their
Cottage door is wide open to chosen friends.
One is a man formally dressed, toward whom
/
A deer-head on the wall bends its horns.
Morale orders all things magically.
Waiting for the right season means dramatizing
Life in religious terms. When shall there be an
/
Easter sunrise service? When humanity as a
Whole realizes immortal resources of rebirth.

Vigilant sea gulls are watching a ship. They want
A full share in the give-and-take of life's over-all
Economy. They recognize every opportunity
Through alertness. On the ship is a celebration
/
Honoring a man formally dressed, while from
The wall watches a deer with its horns folded.
Morale soars in the fortunate as well as the
Needy. Elsewhere on the ship a vestal lamp
/
Burns brightly. An elevated mind studying
Things spiritual finds in silence the key to
Mysteries of initiation. When the boat docks
Near the foot of a mountain, crowds come down
/
From its heights to listen to one man, the ship's
Physically impressive, spiritually focused captain.
