• Positive Accounting • 1 Quadrangular figures of various kinds represent vast powers of intellect and reasoning. They are called upon to make an accounting for a needed new perspective arising out of profound thinking. 2 A bareback rider could represent the soul's relation to its body. One could surrender to a better conception of what that means. Some might think that one's conception of ways to train one's body is audacious. But it may simply be uncompromising courage. 3 What ordeal do you seem to be going through? A different perspective could make it a positive blessing. "A red tree is covered with golden fruit." Personal effort and passion impel noteworthy driving forward after a break. 4 "A fair woman, richly attired, stands alone." Goodness of heart attracts friends and attention. It's not true that anything important is ending. What is primary in your life? A woman may help. Good counsel brings you and others into favor. • Tuesday • Positive Accounting • Cosmic Piper Moon in Virgo Karmically sobering third of this week is with us until Thursday evening, at its peak Wednesday about 7a PT/ 10a ET

• Private Persistence • 1 A bareback rider is audacious. People are temperamental. Yet there can be uncompromising courage and carefree assurance. 2 There could be setback when any prosperous man loses his foothold. There is decadence when good family traditions are abandoned. 3 Some seem to be climbing stairs that lead to nowhere. Yet they have a right to their privacy and trial-and-error. Yellow flowers fade when picked. Withholding impulses is often wise. 4 Some delays are advantageous.

Saturday 31: 1 "A carrier pigeon" brings news and enlightenment. 2 A man riding on a restive horse is full of vitality and may secure Dominion. 3 The music of "a great musician at his piano" is more than amusement or entertainment but is individual artistry as the property of all. It contributes enduring overtones to human understanding. 4 "A new path of realism in experience" is opening up for us. True, it requires responsibility, but actually that is liberating. Saturday: Moon in Leo Sunday 1: 1 "A carrier pigeon" brings enlightenment and the actual spiritual Presence of whatever or whomever has seemed remote. 2 "A Topsy saucily asserting herself" may seem petulant but has to try her wings, speaking out to life with impudence, risking all so she can grow into her true character. 3 Likewise "a woman suffragist harangueing" feels indignation that there is insufficient mutual give-and-take in society. Privileges need to be enlarged and righted. 4 Finally there is the fragrance of attainment. A kingly person presents a scepter to one kneeling. Forget-me-nots proclaim, You are valued and honored.

• Reorientation within Realism • 1 "A man playing with colored balls, an immodest woman behind him" suggests mischief and foolishness, or unprofitable pleasures. 2 "An airplane falling" has the keyword Crisis. But the discouraging story is incomplete, because there is a good chance of righting the dive and reestablishing control of the flight. Selfhood can reorient itself advantageously. 3 "Chickens intoxicated" are running around in vacillation. The human soul may seek stimulation to overcome built-in limitation, but in a futile manner. Or, there could be adventurous, creative self-mobilization, with the keyword Accentuation. 4 It's time for "a new path of realism in experience."

° Toward the Dominion of Seership ° 1 Alcoholic or alcophobic? Both are extremes it seems to this moderate drinker away from his favorite bar for more than two days, and with no home drinking ever. But "Two men stand talking together with faces averted from a third with a tankard in his hand ready to drink." One might break away from a costly habit or a friend with one, whether drink, weed or x. 2 When there is an undercurrent of unease, one might turn upward like "the Zuni sun worshipers." They maintain an effective assurance centered in their cohorts as well as themselves and the Supreme Light Giver. 3 The sun and Mercury together at this temporal center of a Bright Hermetic Epoch fit us for seership as well as practical planning. "A fine silver thread is suspended to the earth from a labyrinth situated in the heavens." Some have patience and talent for propounding and solving conundrums, enigmatical problems or theorems. This is also good time to get better orientation regarding anything confusing, or planning the summer. 4 And so one could resemble "a woman holding a globe in one hand and a scepter in the other." There is wide knowledge and power supporting a position of importance. One's disillusioned mind is fit for conscientious governing.

• Toward Tolerant Peace • 1 People make assumptions about one another. "A man stands with a tankard in his hand, ready to drink, while two others stand apart, talking together with averted faces." Probably gossiping about the "drunkard." One might be pulled down by low associates through weakness, or feel that one's character is underestimated.

2 A rash or warlike trend is suggested by "a house on fire at night-time." Even Trump has accused Putin of unnecessary turmoil and harassment; many accuse Zelensky likewise. We ourselves need to live at peace with our fellow tenants and neighbors. 3 "The Zuni sun worshipers" recognize higher natural forces from which to receive life and strength. They thrive by preserving old values and group traditions. We realize illimitable resources through fidelity to custom or a specialized loyalty. 4 "In a peaceful valley rests a lake on which a swan is floating. At the back rises a high mountain." To counteract the hard-karma hours one can summon up contentment, quiet happiness, and peace. • Wednesday • Toward Tolerant Peace • Cosmic Piper Moon in Gemini goes void-of-course at 6:02a PT until entering Cancer at 10:34a PT Karmically sobering third of this week is at its peak all day, fading Thursday to end late that night

"An open boat is safe on an uncharted ocean." And so faith could save the day. 2 "A man of tottering and uncertain gait carries water which he spills on the ground." There could be disorder, wavering and instability, but not utter helplessness. 3 There could in fact be good reasoning and efficiency in business. "A person of good proportions; fine dark eyes with arched eyebrows" is neat and orderly and could execute schemes which resolve the problems of the first two paragraphs. 4 There could be a scuffle, or hurry and bustle, in getting to or organizing "a houseboat party."

Santa Claus fills stockings furtively, disguising his prodigality that cures poverty. Spiritual values are kept alive by a ritual of giving. 3 On this holiday weekend, business as usual is delayed, making some feel like mendicants while others are glad to fill the gap. "A strong and prosperous-looking man extends arms forward, holding in his hands a bowl full of wine." His conscious merit and sincerity impel recipients of his generosity to hold him in respect. 4 At the "houseboat party" let's not forget the soldiers who have served their nation. It's Memorial Day.

Saturday 24: 1 Fear of loss could make you acquisitive, but also make you question what unnecessary costs you could divest yourself of. There is no need to be miserly, if you focus on higher obligations. 2 There is instruction, as if learning from a teacher of chemistry. It could be perverse to focus on what is transient. Rather, you could subject things to the test of immediate application. 3 Holly and mistletoe are out of season but symbolize the magic of cyclic ritualization. Life's overtones suggest to you a commission. 4 A woman pursued by mature romance is any of us open to promising persuasion. A mission of the soul re-inspires confidence. Moon in Aries goes void-of-course at 4:45a PT until entering Taurus at 10:39a PT Sunday 25: 1 The instruction of "a teacher of chemistry" penetrates into the mysteries of an everyday world. That provides balance and equilibrium. 2 A radical magazine, however, goes off on a tangent. That's either dramatic force or mere quarreling. You could just resign from whatever makes you overly nervous. 3 Still, you are inquisitive, as if equipped for a rough journey, belted and armed. As a pioneer you are a master of surveillance. 4 A peacock parading on an ancient lawn is aloof in both time and space. He or she dramatizes a heritage through elevated dignification.

There are Bohemian habits and refined tastes, a roaming life and happiness without fame. Many are contented with their talents. There is imagination, love of the marvelous, and harmony. 3 At a more exalted level, a man who is yet greater than a man has a world mission. Yet the world may but poorly understand or respond to it. 4 More music, sung by a nonvested church choir. Broad community effort exercises respect for others and encourages ordered self-expression.

We need always to trust the Supreme, and then to trust or distrust human beings as He protectively directs. 3 Then there will be "sunshine just after a storm." There are strong recuperative powers.

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."

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.

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.

Yesterday I saw a man in a gorgeous robe stand on a balcony speaking in three languages to an adoring multitude beneath him.

□ Ruggedness □ Things are mixed. People are going through complex transitions. Some feel "We're in the end times." I don't believe that but it's hard to recall a time when so many were struggling with immediate life-challenges. Yet I keep saying that things are slowly getting better. Even, I said that today, May 5th, is the first day when the mournful month-long conjunction of Venus with Saturn, though continuing, is overtaken by the friendly trine between Venus and Mars. I hope. Yet the four symbols for the day are sobering: 1 Many seem like strangers with peculiar beliefs and opinions, unpopular. 2 "A comet with a long tail pointing toward the earth" represents notorious characters in the hands of evil powers. (There are plenty to choose from in the headlines.) They could become "the scourge of nations." Their influence is baneful on all with whom they have to do. 3 What is the remedy? "A Bolshevik propagandist"? Or is he one of the peculiar people of paragraph 1? Are revolutionists leavening social-political thinking or just making a bigger mess of things? Do the rants of propagandists on the left or right ever make a constructive difference? Wouldn't serious respectful discussion between them be more worthy and helpful? 4 It's the merry month of May, and in the woods wild undergrowth abounds, with plants of many kinds and colors. Fortunately they do not have political opinions. Rustic folk are fond of the beauties of country life.

Message for Week of May 3-10, and current Hermetic Epoch

Message for Week of May 3-10, and current Hermetic Epoch ○ The May-June Epoch ○ I'm looking at a chart that covers the whole of the Bright Hermetic Epoch which began April 26th and extends through June 29th. Based on just the motions and speeds of Mars, Venus and Mercury we have been in a troubling, sticky period since last October when Mars entered its rare slow phase. That shall end Saturday May 3rd about when you read this. Already it feels like most governmental operations and the financial markets are returning to normality. Then, on May 17th Venus also shall return to normal orbital speed. This is specially good for relationships because Venus shall also be exactly trine Mars at that time. Those you care about will be more easily available, less worried or worrisome. Let's look at the positions and symbols of five major planets in this chart for, essentially, May and June: Saturn: Conjunct Neptune, beware of drink and drugs. Square Jupiter, be willing to examine yourself, be your own confessor, and take charge of your soul's destiny. We are being judged by the laws of Deity, yet He is merciful to those who keep trying to live up to high ideals. Thereby male and female, purposeful and emotional aspects of self become interdependent in a deep realization. Jupiter: "A man declared bankrupt" is really just learning how to make transactions more convenient, being delivered from penalties felicitously. With a square to Saturn and Neptune, of course fraud and scam should be avoided. Jupiter's other aspects are excellent, sextiles to Mars and Venus on both sides. Much is available: "A baronial mansion with spacious park abounding with gigantic trees" "denotes a person not given to change, a student of antiquity, a profound scholar." There's our spring-summer reading. "A large well-cultivated tract of land" has the keyword Fruitfulness. Mars: Working toward a square with Uranus, there are despotic or cruel tendencies. Prisons will not be "reformatories" until prison management is reformed. "A human face is surrounded by a coiled serpent; a raised hand also appears." There is diplomacy and success in commanding others through insight into character, with the keyword Penetration. "Chickens intoxicated" warn against "the futility of a dependence on physical agency for spiritual results." There could be, rather, accentuated self-mobilization. Then, with Mars's good aspects to Jupiter and Venus, "on a high mountain plateau one of the ancient magi is performing his morning devotions in the sunlight." There's nothing like beginning the day in alignment with the Highest. Sol and Mercury conjoined: "An airplane falling" is a plunge into experience with disregard of consequences; however, the dive can be righted, thus reestablishing control of the flight at a crisis point. Sometimes it appears that "a monster plant" is growing rapidly as if propelled by magic power. A lively two months. Yet when things get out of hand, a woman of pleasing appearance offers a glass of healing fluid to a child. There is kindness, sympathy and benevolence achieved through self-sacrifice. Venus: An immodest woman stands behind a man playing with colored balls. The exultation of Mars and Venus in a trine can sometimes be careless or foolish pleasures. But we have "a nice villa on the northeast side of a green field surrounded by shrubberies." Nothing essential is missing. We are content with the adequacy that keeps us. And there is "an open window and a net curtain blowing into a cornucopia." Unmerited good fortune? No, "the human and cosmic facets of reality in a convenient and joyful realization of each other." The keyword is Munificence. So may it be. Cosmic Piper ○ Week of May 3-10, and May-June Epoch ○ Saturday 3: Moon goes void-of-course at 1:03a PT until entering Leo at 4:30a PT Sunday 4: Moon in Leo

° Reassurance ° The recent power outage in Spain and Portugal is now blamed on their overdependance on solar power. This happened while Mars in Leo, sign of the sun, was exactly opposite Pluto in Aquarius, sign of electricity. A dog runs carrying a bone, another Runs in pursuit. Humans have laws Yet are unlawful, pursuing the unprofitable. An old man in a simple worn gown Clasps two bags of gold at his breast But would never call himself a miser. He envisions himself dressed in scarlet And purple, aimed with sword and spear. Proud and confident, independent. he Asserts his opinions while fond of display. Others, less acquisitive, gather beneath the sky Of a spring evening to gaze at constellations Whirling slowly with earth's motion, granting A subtle, calm, inward reassurance. ° Friday ° Reassurance ° Cosmic Piper Moon in Cancer

° Surety ° Two butterflies rest and fan their wings On a flower of bright orange tint, joying in Sympathetic graceful reciprocity. A man like a Hercules bears a club, Displaying strength and passion, sustaining labor With force of character. A woman holds a scales Containing a cup of red wine, and on the other Side a few golden coins. Does she know The true use of either pleasure or wealth? Maybe balance shall prevent waste.

° Practical Strength ° Is she an old-fashioned woman or an up-to-date girl? She plays varying roles. Conventionality And iniative compete. Were she to write The drama out she might falter through Lack of judgment so that her pen makes a Scrawl or meaningless flourish. Or she could Emulate a Hercules dressed in coarse material, Bearing a club, shoulders bare, sustaining Much labor. Force of character unites With strength and passion so that Practical struggle seems easy. She holds A sheaf of corn under one arm and a Sickle under the other. She profits by Eager labor in the fields of time and life. ° Wednesday ° Practical Strength ° Cosmic Piper Moon in Gemini goes void-of-course at 8:50p PT/ 11:50p ET Karmically sobering third of this week is with us, at its peak tonight, ending Thursday late at night

° Out of Time or in Time ° Why does this dark or black curtain Hang before my vision like a pall? Is every death untimely? So it seems to us. But defying death stands a man shaped Like a straight column with square capital and base. His egoity is highly developed; he's distinctive And capable of many accomplishments. His mind Is flexible, as if a water-wheel attached to A corn mill, grinding out whatever serves all With mathematical ingenuity. Is he behind or Ahead of his time? He's admired by both An old-fashioned woman and an up-to-date girl, who are Contrasts which yet cooperate as much as Compete: Conventionality plus Initiative. ° Tuesday ° Out of Time or In Time ° Cosmic Piper Moon in Gemini

Message for Monday 28 April 2025 • Good Survives • A square capital and base dignify a straight Column. Some minds are aspiring. elevated and Precise, maybe didactic and unbending. Good survives through evil intentions: A bomb explosion is unsuccessful. Impetuous acts are sometimes exempt from Penalty. Risks have to be taken even for Personal endurance. Rock formations at the edge Of a precipice can secure aplomb and Protect from crisis. Then sharing life with others Enhances possessions by exhibiting them. A Christmas Tree is decorated to regather visions of the World Spirit through vicarious, spiritual Symbolization. All becomes aglow. • Monday • Good Survives • Cosmic Piper Moon in Taurus goes void-of-course at 10:19p PT until entering Gemini at 11:36p

° Reality plus Merriment ° The motions of the planets do not force us or even impact us. They indicate trends of karma or dharma working out in humanity. As the rays of the sun and rain pull plants up from the earth, astrological conditions bring out whatever we have planted in our personal lives. For the past couple of months they have been bringing up weeds we have planted, as well as healthy growth. Saturn has been teaching us, in a word, Responsibility. Venus, planet of love, friendship and fruition, moving very very slowly, has been stuck on Saturn since mid-March. Probably someone is missing from your life, or more than one, teaching you to treasure their memory while yet keeping up with present responsibilities, sometimes with tears in your eyes. Let me guess. You have felt inundated with boring details, bureaucratic paperwork, passwords, taxes, credit card details, or the like. Mercury travels backward or very slowly during its Dark Hermetic Epoch--of which Friday, as I write, is the last day. Troubles or annoyances galore are decreasing as we enter a new Bright Hermetic Epoch on Saturday the 26th. Continuing till June 30th, it should feel like a liberation, or better, like a happy concordat between Responsibility and Happiness. The dance of life becomes a joyful offering rather than a compelled performance. The demands of Saturn, the Reality Principle, are still here because of the soul-challenging square between Saturn and Jupiter. It requires us to live up to our highest standards. It has been with us since last July, is increasing, and reaches a peak of exactitude on June 13-15. (Donald Trump's birthday is June 14 and Xi Jinping's is June 15. Hmm.) At best, you may feel, "Thank God I have this work to do, because I believe in it and it invigorates me." Happy news: Venus, while separating from bitter Saturn, forms a long-term trine with Mars, her comrade. This lasts until mid-June to sweeten things. Need I add: Harmony, friendship, love. Already it is beginning. Let's look forward to The Merry Month of May. ° Week of April 26--May 3 ° Reality plus Merriment ° Cosmic Piper Saturday: Moon in Aries goes void-of-course at 9:19a PT/ 12:19p ET, for the rest of the day Sunday: Moon enters Taurus at 0:18a PT/ 3:18a ET p
