▪︎ Through Pessimism toward Ardour •

1 "In a gloomy sky filled with scudding clouds, blackbirds struggle against the wind." Pessimism can deprive us of faith and perseverance. Keywords are Doubt and Change. Dreams require confidence for fulfillment.

2 But confidence should not diverge into rufhlessness or inhumanity. "A mounted Indian with scalp locks" couild develop unimpeachable control over life through self-discipline. (But the scalp locks belong in a museum.) The keyword is Command. 

3 Similarly, "a man flogging a boy" is not a prediction, which would be evil, but a warning. Punishment just makes things worse, as those developing deep understanding of human nature come to realize. 

4 Maybe you'll enjoy a favorite restaurant, actually or in memory. "A burly man with an apron before him" could be its manager or an inn keeper. 

5 Through some kinds of imitation, vicarious participation in life is enhanced. Are you, or someone you know, "the first mockingbird in spring"? The keyword is Quickening. 

6 Spiritual faculties are in evidence. "In the midst of an aureole of clouds appears a triangle of flame, and an eye within the triangle." Some minds are exalted, aspiring, noble, and hopeful, full of the divine fire of a worthy ambition. The keyword is Ardour.

• Sound Judgment Prospers • 

1 Either in the media or in person there are peevish, superficial people who make misery around them.

2 "A man declared bankrupt" is doing the best he can at some point of futility. There is over-all resourcefulness and Deliverance.

3 Any marked achievement in character or skill is mirrored in the luxury of "a jewelry shop" whose keyword is Preservation. 

4 "On the crest of a scepter shines a diamond like a magnificent star." There can be power, eminence, fame and Superiority. 

5 In "a baronial mansion with spacious park abounding with gigantic trees" dwells a student of antiquity who takes but little interest in new inventions--a profound scholar possessing sound judgment. 

6 "A large and well cultivated tract of land" bears the keyword Fruitfulness. It would appear to be an answer to the worries of paragraph 2. There is a genial temperament, healthy body, appreciation of nature's beauties, a large family and many friends.

• Through Melancholy toward Expenditure • 

1 Today should be smoother than Monday and Tuesday, but still, some individuals could be proud, superficial, fretful and peevish, symbolized by "toys or common elements of glass and tinsel." Loving one's neighbor as oneself is not always easy, requiring spiritual evolution.

2 "On the ceiling of a room is a gilded star" while Nature's real stars are ignored by superficial persons. 

3 "Two crossed swords forming an escutcheon" symbolize contention but also Prowess or courage and strength. 

4 "A young man of disheveled appearance sits on a barren rock by the sea, weeping." He is dependent, confiding and sympathetic, but disappointed in love and Melancholy. 

5 "A gypsy coming out of the forest" has found the resources of all nature available for his exploitation. There is self-release through a joy in the accomplishments of the moment. The keyword is Expenditure. 

6 "A jewelry shop" has the keyword Preservation. Personal display is part of the kaleidoscopic capacity of the world at large for producing and reproducing immediate realities with which to deal, and vision is shaped to a larger dimension.

• Guidance Sustains Honor •

1 "Winter frost in the woods" hints that the needs and powers of nature are sometimes supreme over the aspirations and conveniences of humanity. Normal life is suspended so that a larger magical Splendor may manifest. 

2 A serpent in symbolism is acute and cunning but envious or jealous. "A snake is coiled around a tree, its head raised ready to strike." Its Subtlety can make for success in its own terms. 

3 In a market place, young men dispute their opinions with the free use of cudgels. Some individuals are quarrelsome, litigious or revengeful. The keyword is Contest. 

4 A spacious room is filled with expensive furniture and mirrors. A fashionable life is self-aggrandizing, with love for the fine arts. 

5 An emperor or commander on horseback has power and honor. 

6 A white dove over troubled waters displays the clear direction or absolute orientation of his indwelling spirit or divine heritage. Freedom of understanding is effective Guidance. 

Moon is in Cancer. 

Karmically sobering third of this week is with us until Wednesday morning (mistakenly given as Thursday in an earlier report).

° Toward the Overmental •

1 Elastic, undeveloped thoughts greet the New Moon like "a wave-line of nebulous light obscured by a cloud." There could be obscurity and Wandering. 

2 Yet there could be hints of "remarkable feats" blazoned by "a balloon," though not ready for any great success.

3 "A man trimming palms" knows how to Enhance things by ridding them of whatever is superfluous. 

4 At last we get to something more substantial, "a large building with walls of granite" denoting something lasting, including a great deed handed down to posterity by one favored with longevity. 

5 "An old book is open on a table, beside it a burning lamp." Ancient learning confers happiness. Someone studious and retiring achieves something of importance to the world through patient study. The keyword is Cultivation. 

6 Racial wisdom rests on fine discrimination. "A finger is pointing in an open book." Even, some of the secrets of what Sri Aurobindo named the Overmind could dawn upon our awareness--not to mention the far greater, virtually omniscient Supermind. This is a long stretch from paragraph 1. The keyword is Confirmation.

Weekend of June 13th & 14th, 2026

 Messages for Weekend of June 13th & 14th, 2026

Saturday 13th:

1 The moon is in its waning crescent phase until the New Moon late Sunday night. Energy levels are low. "An old oak stands alone upon a desolate moorland." Some feel Abandoned by kith and kin. 

2 "A man stands on a lonely plain, weeping." We may be inclined to give up to despondency, lacking strength and moral courage. But the struggle of life continues, perhaps to a lesser degree. 

3 Some may buck that trend aggressively, like "a bull tossing a man with its horns." "What I can get is my own."

4 Others, more Dignified, resemble "a lion upon an elevation looking towards a rising sun." Ambitious and jealous of honors, they fancy praise and flattery. They could be apt in governing others. 

5 In contrast with paragraphs 1 and 2 we have the transiency of "wind clouds and haste," a spiritual lightness maintaining aplomb through superficial excitement. The keyword is Exaltation. 

6 Do you just want to be above it all? Maybe one of "three fledglings in a nest high in a tree"? There could be "unconditioned creativity exalted to the point of complete freedom from any immediate involvement." The keyword is Elevation. 

7 We may be better able to regrasp things after the New Moon of 7:55p PT Sunday, in other words beginning Monday. 

Moon in Taurus goes void-of-course at 0:31a PT until entering Gemini at 6:07a PT. 

Sunday 14th:

"A Mystery's process is the universe."

-- Sri Aurobindo's Savitri, p. 100

Moon in Gemini goes void-of-course at 7:55p PT, which is also the New Moon of Gemini.

° Freedom in Gregarious Settings °

1 There is promise, and a generous disposition, yet dark clouds threaten a cold lingering night while the Sun tries to rise. Grand schemes seem born out of time and place. 

2 However, "an artificial globe" is studied by one who will travel, physically or mentally, and make discoveries. 

3 "A young horse runs with a leading cord in trail, lifting its head against the breeze and sniffing the air." Some are willful, daring, intelligent, loving liberty, with much intuitive judgment and insight into human character. The keyword is Freedom. 

4 "A young woman lying beneath a tree throws food to birds which gather around her." She is happy and makes others so; fond of music, poetry and the fine arts; a lover of peace and concord. Keywords are Geniality and Fellow-Feeling. 

5 "Experience may shape its own ground in full conformity with its own desires" as if managing "a newly formed continent." Such revolutionary potentiality has the keyword Originality. 

6 At "a barn dance," happy participants plunge into major and rewarding experiences without the least self-reservation. The keyword is Gregariousness.
