Independence Day Weekend 2026

 Messages for Weekend of July 4th and 5th, 2026

Saturday 4th:

¤ Determination toward Knowledge and Benevolence ¤

1 "A man delving" may want to work with his or her hands even on a holiday. We are fastidious about details. 

2 "One hand is slightly flexed with a very prominent thumb." We either rule our environment or surrender our potentials. The keyword is Determination. 

3 However, there could be some danger through sexual allurement, passionate emotions and "the watery element." The steady effort of the first two paragraphs could be reversed. The symbol is "a reversed triangle upon a red ground." 

4 Are you aiming at a politics-free holiday? Good luck, because whether Left or Right, the ravings of "a radical magazine" are being thrust at you. The keyword is Tangency.

5 Calmer alternatives are available. "A caduceus stands between two moons, one crescent and one gibbous." There is pursuit of Knowledge by a penetrating mind and retentive memory. There could be travel, scholarship and versatility. Moods change in rapid alternation from despondency to hope. Let's ride those moods into a Happy Independence Day!

6 Along with "a gentleman with a number of ladies in a carriage" (car, train, bus, plane,scene). There are presents or other benefits, offered with kindliness and benevolence. Happy 4th!

¤ Determination toward Knowledge and Benevolence ¤

Moon is void-of-course until entering Pisces at 2:31a ET 

Sunday July 5th:

"O surely one day he shall come to our cry,

One day he shall create our life anew 

And utter the magic formula of peace 

And bring perfection to the scheme of things."

-- Sri Aurobindo's Savitri, p. 200

Moon in Pisces goes void-of-course at 10:22p PT

• Imperturbable Self-Renewal •

0 In an unusual situation, the first four symbols for the day are identical with the first four given yesterday (Thursday July 2), to which you may turn for rereading. In addition, for today:

5 "An untidy, unkempt man" may be taking advantage of (a) the moon void-of-course, (b) Mercury retrograde, and (c) the holiday weekend to say "What's the big deal, whether I shave or shower or comb my hair? Are there not more important things?" The keyword is Imperturbability.

6 In the holiday weekend, we develop "a universal richness of experience through which we share the magic of self-renewal." The out-of-season symbol is "Holly and Mistletoe," with the keyword Ritualization. Personality develops via colorful imagination. 

Friday • Imperturbable Self-Renewal •

Moon in Aquarius goes void-of-course at 10:29a PT until entering Pisces at 11:31p PT.

• From Melancholy to Benevolence •

1 We take the hardest symbol first; in fact one of the worst among the 1080 (3×360): "A dagger lying beside a skull." It denotes cruelty and destructive, fatal tendencies; also taciturniity, melancholy and Undoing. As Lightworkers we need to oppose all such trends in those around us and ourselves. Positive thinking, kindness, scripture reading and prayer are cures. 

2 Beneath "a cypress tree" languishes someone of a mournful, fretful, gloomy disposition. He or she needs more faith in immortality. 

3 "A Chinese woman nursing a baby with a message" is seeking to embody the universal values of the human race. The keyword is Materialization.

4 "A gentleman with a number of ladies in a carriage" is good and kind, liberal with presents, bubbling over with benevolence. 

5 "A bright, pale blue star shines over a clear lake." The mind of someone peaceful, harmonious and intuitive is capable of lofty and sustained flights. Sri Aurobindo was born with the sun at this degree. "He will shine like a star in his sphere of life, and will have many followers." Voila!

6 "The garden of the Tuileries" displays for all to enjoy the graceful and exquisite self-expressions of those with social position and wealth. The keyword is Luxury.

° Past Troubles toward Reborn Luxury °

1 Does one find oneself in "a stranded vessel on a low, sandy beach"? In avoiding obvious rocks, one has run upon unsuspended sandbanks. Yet there is hope for gaining a new start. 

2 Most who read these reports are Lightworkers. So they will not be misled by negative symbols such as "A hawk is seen hovering over a nest of young birds." They will invoke protection through caution, positive affirmation and prayer. 

3 The ridiculous exaggerates human nature instructively. "A clown is making grimaces." The absurd stimulates toward something better. The keyword is Inimitability.

4 Mercury went retrograde Monday at 10:38a PT. Revamping, reviewing, reconsidering and repenting are natural over the next three weeks of attemped rebirth. That planet remains in a degree signifying a pear tree as a living talisman for healing discord and strife. 

5 "A young girl playing on a lyre" is gay, fond of youthful amusements; musical and artistic. 

6 "The garden of the Tuileries" represents the self-confidence and authority which come to man through social position and wealth. All can participate in the full gamut of satisfactions developed and cherished by all. The keyword is Luxury. 

Wednesday ° Through Troubles toward Reborn Luxury °

Moon in Capricorn goes void-of-course at 4:52a PT until entering Aquarius at 12:34p PT. 

Karmically sobering third of this week ends very early in the morning.

• Mutual Fostering •

1 "A large diamond not completely cut" is some work in process, yielding gradually to your arts and skills to bring out its full sparkle. The keyword is Latency. 

2 By contrast, "a bulbous plant pushing its way upward from beneath the sod to unfold its beauties" is waiting for nothing. Its soul-force unites with a strong will. 

3 "A human face is surmounted by a coiled serpent. A raised hand also appears." There is keen understanding of the laws of life. There is introspection and discretion. There is strong power of concentration plus diplomacy, and therefore success in commanding others. The keyword is Penetration. 

4 Mercury's station remains at the degree "a pear tree loaded with large ripe fruit" signifying "a living talisman for the healing of discord and strife; a peace-maker."  

5 "Santa Claus is filling stockings furtively." We appreciate nature's largesse and society's favors by maintaining the ritual through which values are kept alive in human hearts. The keyword is Prodigality. 

6 "Around the roots of a wide-spreading oak tree are many young shoots, while birds sing among its branches." Honor and esteem from more than one generation return to shelter and comfort those whom one has sheltered and comforted. The keyword is Fruitfulness. 

Tuesday • Mutual Fostering •

Moon in Capricorn

• Past the Spider to Peace and Contentment • 

1 Those on "A glass-bottomed boat in still water" are poised to regrasp destiny at any point of advantage. The keyword is Curiosity. 

2 Some who set themselves against public opinion incur criticism and loss, like "a man running in the face of a strong wind and making little headway."

3 "A spider in the corner of a room intently watches the giddy dance of flies heedlessly approaching the confines of his dominion." Shrewd lawyers and good detectives are active. 

4 A person abounding in goodness is a living talisman for healing discord, a peacemaker. The symbol is "a pear tree loaded with large ripe fruit."

5 "A tiny nude miss is reaching in the water for a fish." She enters new experience with unabated enthusiasm and with freshness of soul. The keyword is Inclination.
