• Pilgrim Quest or Roving Affection • 

During the meeting of a literary society, 

Criticism stimulates toward broader ideals. 

An animal trainer is kind if he trains himself first,

Developing ethical resoluteness.

An old man, a pilgrim, is seated beneath a tree,

His head bowed in disillusioned thought. 

He looks up to see rings of light in the heavens, 

Not to be understood till a distant future. 

Meanwhile, some have boarded a ship in full 

Sail, to indulge their roving and fanciful 

Natures alert to roving romance. 

"The true lover's knot" unites those

Affectionate and confiding, even when their soulful 

Feelings languish unreciprocated.

Moon is void-of-course in Libra until entering Scorpio at 2:45a ET.

Weekend of September 12th and 13th, 2026

Saturday 12th:

An engraver or carver holds a knife

in his hand, 

Having dexterity in the use of edged tools. 

An ostrich is pompous, in assumption a hero, 

But when put to the test has no real ideas.

A man carrying a money-bag in each hand 

Acquires wealth covetously and easily. 

Co-operation, adaptability and expression are 

Keynotes of a girls' basketball team.

A prima donna singing enables listeners to 

Live vicariously in the overflowing richness of 

Her voice flaunting its excellence. 

A great headland with its sea-coast 

Frames a rising sun. Lofty, elevated views 

Are luminous with confident hope. 

Moon in Libra 

Karmically sobering third of this week continues. 

Sunday 13th:

"Her aspiration called high destiny down;

The body that held this greatness seemed almost 

An image made of heaven's transparent light. 

Its charm recalled things seen in vision's hours, 

A golden bridge spanning a faery flood, 

A moon-touched palm-tree single by a lake

Companion of the wide and glimmering peace,

A murmur as of leaves in Paradise 

Moving when feet of the Immortals pass,

A fiery halo over sleeping hills, 

A strange and starry head alone in Night."

-- Sri Aurobindo's Savitri, p. 358

Moon in Libra goes void-of-course at 7:28a PT until entering Scorpio at 11:45p PT.

Karmically sobering third of this week ends about that time.

• (Obscure?) Magnificence •

A lion's head signifies someone prepared 

For any attack: the last to quit the arena.

Two men fencing with swords while a man in black 

Watches symbolize the fracas of 9/11/01.

Let's not repeat it. Experience is on the move 

In a civilized society: "An automobile caravan."

Meanwhile a prima donna singing brings forth 

Excellence in overflowing richness. 

One who is magnificently imbued with feelings of 

Magnanimity sees the sun rising over 

A great headland. He has secure hopes. 

Someone (yourself?) has knowledge of a hidden 

Law in nature akin to the magical behavior of 

A long pole suspended without support in mid-air.

Friday • (Obscure?) Magnificence • 

Moon in Virgo goes void-of-course at 1:53a ET until entering Libra at 4:53p PT.

The karmically sobering third of this week begins near noon, until Sunday evening.

• Rugged, Sensitive, Finally Sentimental • 

A farmer's cart loaded with manure

Betokens an industrious agriculturalist.

A cattle-dealer is rugged and rustic,

Genuine, sincere and well-respected.

But a nomadic warrior, involved in strifes and quarrels, 

Is accused of violence or other offenses.

However, he is sensitive enough to try to change 

His ways toward scrupulous honesty. 

What excellence is best able to prove itself 

In a swimming race, eliminating the competition?

Direct effectiveness is pointed splashily forward. 

Gondoliers in a serenade stream forth 

The ever-exuberant music of life itself, 

Feeding the hunger of the soul's sentiments. 

Thursday • Rugged, Sensitive, Finally Sentimental •

Moon in Virgo goes void-of-course at 10:53p PT. 

New Moon occurs at 8:28p PT.

• Out of Indifference toward Benevolence •

A person supporting the views of the moment 

Thinks slightingly of his best friends, 

And is in danger of attack by those seeming to be 

Vultures or serpents, by reason of carelessness. 

Others turn to methods of divination such as 

The ouija board to develop creative acumen. 

Others serve institutional forms, like a 

Priest conforming to a marriage ceremony

He performs. A bird perched on the top of a tree 

Welcomes the day's dawn with his song. 

Human hopeful prophetic souls emulate him.

An old white-headed man surrounded by happy 

Children has a kind, benevolent, fatherly

Interest in all, and is much beloved. 

Wednesday • Out of Indifference toward Benevolence •

Moon in Leo goes void-of-course at 11:59a PT until entering Virgo at 12:36p PT.

• Recovery Toward Prudence and Prosperity • 

A vulture, serpent and leopard threaten an

Indifferent man sleeping on a bundle of clothes. 

Yet in critical cases there is ease of self-recovery. 

A volcano's explosion represents human irresistible 

Outbursts. Ideals are expressed in everyday institutions. 

A priest is performing a marriage ceremony to which 

A couple conforms. A lucky person is carried by 

Four men in a sedan chair. Ruinous sloth?

Better, an old man cutting grapes in a vineyard 

Has been watchful and prudent, so now 

Gathers in the fruits of care and foresight. 

In a cloudless sky there is nothing but sunshine. 

All is bright. Some experiencing favorable 

Conditions are prosperous and truly happy. 

• Recovery toward Prudence and Prosperity •

• Passing through Gloom to Festivity •

A person climbing a steep hill in the dark 

Is allured by nothing but a falling star. 

He may as well have been wading through 

Knee-deep mud, abortive hopes. 

By a dark pool of water shadowed by 

Dense foliage, he yields to obscurity and gloom.

But there are unmobilizedd resources,

primitive 

Powers akin to an orangutan's dexterity. 

Summoning those, he resembles a hen scratching 

For her chicks. Normality is exalted by 

Human creativity providing for younger ones. 

Men and women in festive attire are assembled

Together and talking. Associations formed casually 

Bring together those mutually advantageous. 

• Passing through Gloom to Festivity •

Moon in Cancer goes void-of-course at 6:41a PT until entering Leo at 9:51a PT.

Saturday 5th:

Hard work to little personal profit Names a holiday Labor Day. 

A man mines with a pickaxe. A fine

Horse prances in the pride of its strength. 

Immortal distinctiveness constitutes self as such. 

A germ unfolds into knowledge and life. 

Established tradition is spiritual presence in the blood, 

The endowed gentility of a family tree. 

A rustic cottage under a spreading cedar 

Exudes beneficence; succoring, befriending, sheltering 

The wayside traveler. The sun peeps 

Above the horizon, flooding the trees

With glowing rays to reveal what Diogenes sought, 

A man among men initiating a new epoch. 

Saturday • Beneficent Epoch? •

Moon in Gemini goes void-of-course at 1:41a PT until entering Cancer at 7:32a PT. 

Karmically sobering third of this week is with us. 

Sunday 6th:

"A grand orchestra of spiritual powers, 

A diapason of soul-interchange 

Harmonized a Oneness deep, immeasurable. 

In these new worlds projected he became 

A portion of the universal gaze,

A station of the all-inhabiting light, 

A ripple on a single sea of peace. 

His mind answered to countless communing minds, 

His words were syllables of the cosmos' speech, 

His life a field of the vast cosmic stir.

He felt the footsteps of a million wills 

Moving in unison to a single goal."

Sri Aurobindo's Savitri, p. 325

Moon in Cancer 

Karmically sobering third of this week continues until midmorning Monday.
