• Pageantry • 1 We start with an alarming symbol: "A man in mid-ocean on a raft, famished and in pitiable distress." Obviously this is not literal, but could indicate vain travel, loneliness and isolation. You are not an outcast but might feel you are. 2 However, daily routines could save the situation. "A woman holding a bag out of a window" is just doing commonplace work but it facilitates normal living and calms any dissatisfaction. 3 "A peacock parading on an ancient lawn" could be ourselves exhibiting the various ideals of others in our own persons. Although there is aloofness, superficial excellencies are dignified. 4 "A pageant." "The whole of human life is revealed in an over-all excellence and every least inarticulate ideal is somehow exalted." There is the demonstration of "an irresistible heightening of self-significance across the whole face of experience." • Monday • Pageantry • Cosmic Piper Moon in Aquarius

Saturday 17: 1 The human soul is awaiting opportunity for expression. Don't be discouraged if things are slow. 2 If you feel you're climbing a pole that goes nowhere, you're not alone. 3 A curtain hangs over a dark cavern in a rock. You could be reclusive, a student of mystical or hidden knowledge. 4 Through suffering you may keep climbing toward the summit of a mountain, a staff in your right hand, in your left a crown. There is finally dignity, prominence and reward. Moon in Capricorn goes void-of-course at 9:28p PT Sunday 18: 1 You may feel lost on a raft, lonely and distressed, outcast with no one able or willing to help. 2 You may even feel a victim of tyranny or despotism displayed by those bigoted or selfish. 3 You may feel that everyone is strange or peculiar, or that you yourself are unpopular 4 Despite all this, there is magic in a public display, a pageant. Inarticulate ideals are exalted. 5 Considering all that, it is wise to pray in firm faith. Praying is learning to pray. It is trusting the timing of the Supreme. To be uplifted by life's pageant it is good to get out and about. Humanity is your horizontal and God your vertical blessing. Moon enters Aquarius at 1:31a ET Cosmic Piper

• Graceful Conservative Success • 1 Waiting? What for? "The human soul is awaiting opportunity for expression." This could be procrastination, or else a readiness to participate wholeheartedly in the everyday adventures of personality when the time is ripe. The keyword is Ingenuousness. 2 "On a bright orange flower two butterflies rest and fan their wings." The heavens smile on a happy and hopeful nature. There is Reciprocity between the two butterflies. Their sympathetic and graceful natures recognize their similarity to each other. 3 A man leads two children by the hands. He is sociable and bountiful, with strong domestic instincts. He delights in being a householder and husband. He cares not so much for worldly success as for dignity and honor in conservative family relations. 4 On the table in an alchemist's laboratory is much gold. Some have success in eccentric vocations no one else could imitate. By patience, thrift and inventive faculty they acquire more wealth than they require. • Friday • Graceful Conservative Success • Cosmic Piper Moon in Capricorn Karmically sobering third of this week continues till about midnight, but with less intensity than Thursday

• Concord • An old sea captain rocking is any of us when we we revisit past defeats and victories in memory. Retrospection is masterful, calling up afresh powers we have gained through struggle. Mercury and Mars in a square make for a sharp mind which could be too eager, stumbling over itself. At best it can be adroit flexibility, mathematical capability and ingenuity. "A large water-wheel attached to a corn mill" could, these days, be some forms of AI, or just productive mental action. "A woman of beautiful and kind countenance stands alone, half covered with a robe falling from her left shoulder." She is gentle and amiable, addicted to acts of kindness and charity, sometimes forgetful of self in a desire to please others. She could be "a fair woman leading a child by the hand and gathering flowers by the way." She is loving and agreeable, finding happiness in common duties, radiatng peace, tolerance and concord. • Thursday • Concord • Cosmic Piper Moon in Sagittarius goes void-of-course at 11:30a PT until entering Capricorn at 12:59p PT Karmically sobering third of this week is most intense in late morning and early afternoon, ending Friday evening

° Upward ° An old sea captain, rocking, relives history In memory, retrospectively fighting old battles, Daring the past to spoil the present. He had been on horseback in the midst Of battlefields, surrounded by the dead and Dying. Is that victory? He has been A dark moving column standing high, A stranger to men, content to live unknown In a world of his own, mysterious, Ignoring others' callow notions. He forms a cross of two swords on the Ground and stands on them while pointing A scepter heavenward. Now a man of

Peace, he confides in the higher power. ° Wednesday ° Upward ° Cosmic Piper Moon in Sagittarius Karmically sobering third of this week is with us, exact Thursday and ending Friday afternoon-evening

• A Mission within Companionship • Arms folded and head erect, a man stands on a lofty place. He is an able friend or formidable enemy. Let's hope the folded arms indicate the absence of weapons. He loves freedom. His temerity and positive disposition add up to pride. He or someone else may be the "man, yet greater than a man" who has a *world* mission. Will the world allow him to carry it out, is the question. His sunlight is trying to penetrate a vast darkness. Today and tonight the moon forms a felicitous Grand Trine with Venus and Mars. "A man stands upright within an elliptical figure on the ground." He "loves passionately and is a great admirer of the opposite sex; a lover of the beautiful in art and in nature." And so everything is set up for "an evening lawn party." "There are limitless forms of self-expression by which one may come to discover oneself as a distinct personality, with recognition of its worth from one's fellows." Sharing with neighbors and intimates is a delight. The keyword is Companionship. • Tuesday • A Mission within Companionship • Cosmic Piper Moon in Scorpio goes void-of-course at 11:38p(Mo) PT/ 2:38a ET until entering Sagittarius at 1:36a PT/ 4:36a ET

• Toward Reoriented Companionship • "A widow at an open grave" is, like many of us, undergoing the reorientation that comes when someone important has been removed from this world known to the physical senses. We can transcend such disappointment through personal aplomb, self-discovery, and belief in the immortality of the loved one. "A man standing upon a lofty place with arms folded and head erect" sounds like Zelensky or Putin, and the former, at Donald Trump’s urging, has said he will be in Turkey on Thursday to meet with Putin face to face, the first such meeting since the war which has made hundreds of thousands of widows began three years ago. "An able friend and formidable enemy, cool and collected, yet frequently a victim to pride and self-love," is both Z and P. Let's hope and pray for solid steps toward a ceasefire and peace. "Implicit in the symbolism of 'a jewelry shop' is the kaleidoscopic capacity of the world at large for producing and reproducing whatever an individual may require in the way of immediate realities with which to deal." There can be luxury, or a path toward it. The keyword is Preservation. Intimates and neighbors help one to express oneself and discover oneself as a distinctive personality. There might be "an evening lawn party." The inherent normality of enhanced work with others makes for Companionship. • Monday • Toward Reoriented Companionship • Cosmic Piper Moon in Scorpio goes void-of-course at 11:38p PT

° Responsible Kindness ° Things are getting easier to handle, with Mercury, Mars and Venus near normal orbital speed. "Everything in its place" is easier. So is simpler, less scattered scheduling. This is a good time to arrive at well-considered decisions. Venus's long sad conjunction with Saturn concludes this week. Much mourning can end. We have had grief and tears since mid-March. Now Venus has entered an unusually long-lasting friendly trine with Mars. Affections flow more smoothly up to mid-June. This week Mercury is at point focus between a Mars and Pluto opposition. I would beware of any unnecessary air or other travel. There is vitality and courage, but there could be haste and jumping to conclusions. Rabbit holes. Better, intuitive grasp and shrewdness. Then the well considered decisions already mentioned. A major issue is living up to your ideals. Jupiter square Saturn is karma asking: What are you doing to fulfill your mission, your destiny? This question increases in intensity till the aspect is exact on June 13-15. Then it continues till the end of July. You are preparing to pass a test, perhaps self-administered but still crucial. Powers and talents should not be neglected but employed responsibly. Don't forget the potentially wonderful trine of Mars and Venus. Be with someone you love, or attract a harmonious love life through kindness. Spending on pleasure and popularity comes naturally. ° Week of May 10-17 ° Responsible Kindness ° Cosmic Piper Saturday 10: Moon in Libra is void-of-course until entering Scorpio at 12:59p PT/ 3:59p ET Sunday 11: Moon in Scorpio goes void-of-course at 11:38p PT Moon shall be full Monday at 9:57a PT
