Saturday 17th:

• From Tact to Companionship • 

One who becomes a pest or terror seems like 

A serpent with many heads, fangs protruding. 

Meanwhile, violent and rash individuals 

Sweep a prairie like a desolating storm.

Nature however is tactful, dropping down 

Information in the symbol of an autumn leaf.

Still there remain multi-colored flowers 

Plus human attractiveness and charm.

Those who are passively regular in their conduct 

Resemble a Welsh harp, loving the harmonious 

In all things. Sharing with intimates and neighbors 

At every opportunity makes life open out 

Into an evening lawn party. Social 

Maturity becomes mellow companionship. 

Saturday: • From Tact to Companionship • 

Moon in Capricorn 

Karmically sobering third of this week continues until Sunday early afternoon. 

Sunday 18th:

Let's look at some longer trends. Mercury shall be retrograde from Saturday October 24th through November 12th-13th. But the longer termed Dark Hermetic Epoch is already with us, from October 4th through November 30th. Delays, uncertainties, wondering, pondering, thinking, musing, planning and replanning, occult quest and spiritual pursuit. It's not a bad time except for the impatient. A more normal Bright Hermetic Epoch shall run from December 1st through January 24th. 

Sunday: Moon in Capricorn goes void-of-course at 9:14a PT until entering Aquarius at 6:41p PT. 

Karmically sobering third of this week ends near noon or shortly thereafter.

• Unusual Paths to Delight •

Charubel says that a giant with black limbs

Creeps upward and should study his birthchart. 

A man holding a pair of scales and a sword 

May be just, though too severe. 

Someone independent and isolated has the pride 

Of a solitary tree upon a rocky height. 

A storm-swept prairie has the remains of 

Fallen idols and desolated temples. 

A third wing on the left side of a butterfly 

Has improbable worth, yet its distinctiveness 

Brings idealistic originality to the world. 

Children on a swing in a huge oak tree 

Have unique flight paths, beating out 

Youthful zest and laughing delight.

• Exploring with Fervor and Delight •

Can rigid justice often be unjust?

A man holds a pair of scales and a sword. 

Another, in gown and skull-cap, does careful, 

Systematic research into nature's secrets,

Amassing a mound of earth and stones to

Support a single reward: a flowering shrub. 

Beneath the sky, blue and then covered with 

Stars, wanders a gifted explorer. 

In morning's rays Chanticleer affirms himself 

Fearlessly, winning immediate allegiance from 

Hearts and minds attuned to his insightful fervor. 

Personal reality is integrally conceived 

beneath the 

Overshadowing of a huge oak tree where 

Children swing in refreshing zest and delight. 

• Exploring with Fervor and Delight •

Moon in Sagittarius goes void-of-course at 2:57p PT. 

Karmically sobering third of this week begins in late afternoon, continuing until mid-morning Sunday.

• Solicitude •

A man sleeping beside money-bags 

Could lose much carelessly. 

A female, nude, could be carried away 

By lower passions voluptuously. 

But righteous judgment comes from one 

Whose open Bible displays a sword. 

When the worse threatens, the better may be found, 

Like the Rejuvenation of early morning dew.

A child, in creative concern for others, 

Gives birds a drink at a fountain, 

Consummating the inner nature's ideals. 

Solicitude is contented carefulness 

In small things. A flowering shrub grows 

Atop a continuously massed 

earth-mound.

° Rejuvenation ° 

A dilapidated bridge suggests some projects 

Could collapse. Find the right trail.

A cross formed of darts signifies 

A strong will, magical ability. 

A red flame ascending is ardent desire 

And true enthusiasm for a cause. 

There is refreshment in unexpected resources 

Like the Rejuvenation of early morning dew.

A crowd upon the beach exhibit unconditioned 

Friendliness, releasing tensions through delight 

In exhilarating human contacts. 

Someone digging in the sand holds up

A brilliant precious stone or jewel. His

exploration 

Has yielded unexpected good fortune. 

Tuesday ° Rejuvenation °

Moon in Scorpio goes void-of-course at 1:47a PT until entering Sagittarius at 6:01p PT.

° Smiling Fortune °

Glass blowers demonstrate creative skill 

And deft genius in warm enthusiasm. 

A person partial to religious rites enters 

A mysterious round temple with pointed roof.

A man in the robe of a priest stands beneath 

A window's light, highly favored.

A Jewish rabbi has a deep understanding of 

His fellow human beings and their 

Heritage. The sun is shining brightly as if

From a great man, a public character 

Whose presence the world regards essential. 

A man with his foot on the shoulder of a spade 

Holds up a precious jewel. He has gained rare

Fortune, a position he never anticipated.

Weekend of October 10th and 11th, 2026

 Message for Weekend of October 10th and 11th, 2026

Saturday 10th:

Arrows shot aimlessly waste time in

Tangled affairs summing to Inconsequence. 

A Bolshevik propagandist is seeking a worthy 

Cause to leaven humanity's potentials.

Two men placed under arrest have lost

Responsible balance, so suffer consequences. 

Someone can read character by examining 

Handwriting or personal quirks. 

A fox sitting on its haunches smells out 

Selfish ends, knowing how to use 

Others' weaknesses strategically. 

A person who is open-handed and sincere 

Is also prosperous and happy, maintaining a 

Well-lighted house with open door. 

Saturday 10th: 

New Moon of Libra occurs at 8:51a PT. 

Moon in Libra goes void-of-course at 4:08p PT. 

Sunday 11th:

The month of Libra accentuates relationships. In Sri Aurobindo's epic poem Savitri this correlates to the first meeting of Savitri with Satyavan.

"Noble and clear as the broad peaceful heavens

A tablet of young wisdom was his brow;

Freedom's imperious beauty curved his limbs,

The joy of life was on his open face. 

His look was a wide daybreak of the gods,

His head was a youthful Rishi's touched with light,

His body was a lover's and a king's."

-- Savitri, p. 393

Moon in Libra is void-of-course until entering Scorpio at 8:22a PT.
