♡ Benevolence ♡ You can choose from these twelve symbolic paragraphs the ones which speak to you. Some may be more relevant later in the week. Others may apply to people you know rather than to yourself. 1 A military officer is mounted on a charger on the top of a hill as if on lookout. This is a strategist, competent to organize and command a multitude. 2 A gigantic tent is reminiscent of the circus. All things are apportioned wisely in a common cause, whether business or entertainment. 3 A man unmasked has to make a public accounting of himself for the general welfare. Curiosity makes life a laboratory of analysis. 4 There are times when one feels incapacitated or isolated. It is good to cure selfishness and bitterness by preserving interest and sympathy in all that is human. 5 If a young laurel tree is broken by the wind and withered, yet contentment and self-restrained waiting can bring back fresh life eventually. 6 Topsy, a slave girl, risks offending her mistress by asserting herself saucily. Conventions of the social milieu have to be flouted impudently sometimes for personal growth. 7 In a dark room, surrounded by books and papers, one can concentrate, whether or not one's studies bring any tangible benefit. 8 Clad in scarlet and purple, with helmet of brass or gold, one is prepared for battle and confident of victory. An independent way of living is fond of display. 9 A large building with a dull or somber appearance symbolizes something lasting. One might perform a great deed handed down to posterity, and enjoy a ripe old age. 10 Gondoliers in a serenade sing out the ever-exuberant music of life itself. High sentiments in the stream of events contribute to the imagination and hunger of the soul. Experience is a symphony of cooperative relationships. 11 As captain of a ship in full sail upon a sunlit sea, you have an enterprising, adventurous spirit. A catholic and cosmopolitan attitude accompanies a benevolent and sympathetic nature. You can gain for yourself a position of distinction and affluence. 12 Two lovebirds sitting on a fence exhibit shared richness and tenderness. The whole world loves a lover. There is an embracing, absolute, affirmative loyalty. Week of February 1-8, 2025 ♡ Benevolence ♡ Cosmic Piper Saturday 1: Moon in Pisces goes void-of-course at 2:07p PT until entering Aries at 5:11p PT Karmically sobering third of this week continues until about 11p PT Sunday 2: Moon in Aries

° Excellence ° 1 "Two bulls are fighting." Which one is "a disagreeable, unsocial faultfinder"? "One who cannot talk without argument, and cannot argue without losing his temper"? Certain Senators? We do not have to be hyper-critical. 2 Bobby Kennedy was born in the Chinese Year of the Snake, and that year in its 12-year cycle began again Wednesday when Kennedy's first hearing for head of HHS took place. The vote on him may occur today. Is Kennedy "A serpent standing erect within a circle of fire"? Does he have "more than usual powers of intellect and a soul disposed to the searching out of the deeper secrets of nature"? Has he attained to "high distinction in the art of healing, as chemistry, medicine and anatomical science"? Many of us think so. "From him, as through a lens, the rays of a higher truth and deeper understanding will converge and be dispersed again for the better instruction of the world and its manifest and manifold advantage. He will take life at the crisis and turn it back from the Gates of Death." These eloquent words of Sepharial describe Kennedy's mission precisely. 3 "A prima donna singing" contributes skill and talent to a popularization of human artistic values. All live vicariously in the sound of her voice. Perfection and excellence are sought as a certainty of self-continuance. 4 "A tastefully furnished room with a large candle on a table in the center" could be in your own home or a friend's or a favorite haunt. Essentially this amounts to a love of, and availability of, comfort and beauty. ° Excellence ° Friday ° Cosmic Piper Moon in Pisces Karmically sobering third of this week is at its peak around 8p PT / 11p ET, ending very late Saturday night

◇ Excellence ◇ 1 Today Uranus appears to be motionless--at its station--at 11:23a ET, and about the same time Luna in Uranus's sign Aquarius shall be square Uranus in Taurus, an earth sign, while one of the day's symbols is "An earthquake." This does not have to be literal. Sepharial says it can be Reversal, an unexpected calamity. "Let him be careful where he builds, and test the grounds of his hope and faith in others, and labor diligently. For the rest let him trust in Heaven and invoke its aid in all humility." 2 Some know more or are more skillful than others in any given area. "People are on stairs graduated upwards." Through Progression one capitalizes on prior accomplishment, with a forward point of view. To whom do you look upward to learn, and to whom do you look downward to teach? 3 "A prima donna singing" might assume herself on a higher rung than she really is, but she popularizes values, encouraging others to attempt their own artistry. What is certainty of self-continuance? Perfection or Excellence. 4 "A council of ancestors" acknowledges potential value in each member of the coming generation it fosters. Some interests and skills are new, but basic values endure forever. To fulfill ourselves we look to the integrity of our antecedents--parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles--whoever inspires us in a small or large way. ◇ Thursday ◇Excellence ◇ Cosmic Piper Moon in Aquarius goes void-of-course at 3:30a PT until entering Pisces at 2:54p PT. At that time the karmically sobering third of this week begins, exact Friday afternoon-evening and ending early Sunday

○ Cautious and Competent ○ 1 "People on stairs graduated upwards" are, each of them, more or less competent than the others in the abilities measured by that stairway. We look down and teach, or look up and learn. 2 But "a deserter from the navy" has jumped off the stairway entirely. He wants a liberation of the spirit, and a right to create his own allegiances. This looks like defiance; but it could be "genuine psychological courage in a repudiation of all meaningless loyalties." 3 The hearing for Senate confirmation of Bobby Kennedy as Secretary of Health and Human Services is scheduled for today, which happens to be the first day of the Chinese Year of the Snake, which is also Kennedy's birth-year! I and millions hope fervently that he will be confirmed. "A man in armor, fully equipped and bearing a shield, indicates one who will walk through life warily but with the assurance resulting from being forewarned against danger." That is Kennedy's path. "While cautious and circumspect, he will evince a brave and dauntless spirit, surmounting the machinations of his enemies" who in Kennedy's case include Big Pharma and Quack Medicine. I make no prediction, but if Kennedy is pushed out our nation ought to be ashamed. Perhaps Bobby will be "defended by the goodwill of his friends and the faith of his associates." 4 The New Moon of Aquarius occurs today at 4:37a PT / 7:37a ET. Plans and agendas gain firmer outline. Still, Mars remains retrograde, and we need "the quiet range of perspective and creative poise of the human soul." When shall our ship come in, our idea be consummated? Chance events and the current drift of circumstances have meaning. "A woman is awaiting a sailboat" in Equanimity. ○ Wednesday ○ Cautious and Competent ○ Cosmic Piper Moon in Aquarius

• Equanimity • 1 The moon is crescent and waning, and Mars remains retrograde. "An arrow in flight" has reached its peak and is declining. 2 But "A flag turned into an eagle" shows that enduring purpose is alive. Loyalties are defended dramatically, in both political and personal spheres. 3 "Through a crown is set an upright sword." Donald Trump is insisting that Colombia accept deported migrants, for example. "A king, he will sustain his throne by the use of aggressive measures and by victories gained over all enemies. His mind will be upright, astute, aspiring, and sustained by unswerving faith." 4 But slow down a little. It seems to some that DJT is trying to compress the traditional "first hundred days" into ten. Mars's retrogradation till February 24 suggests that not everyone will be ready to respond to Trump's pace as quickly as he desires. "A woman is awaiting a sailboat." The current drift of circumstances is favorable and one does not have to whip the sea. The keyword is Equanimity. • Monday • Equanimity • Cosmic Piper Moon in Capricorn

~ Goodwill as Defense ~ 1 In Friday's report we discussed the Mars Retrograde phenomenon, which continues until February 24. This week we have "A man asleep in the heat of the day, some implements beside him." "Dreaming when he should be working" he makes his life sorrowful. 2 Yet the Mars Retrograde phenomenon can be restful and entertaining. "A gigantic tent" suggests the circus, and also the fact that many in California, North Carolina and elsewhere feel like they're living in tents. WDC itself seems circus-like while a new Administration takes charge. 3 "A Topsy saucily asserting herself" tests the patience of supposed authorities, risking offense through impudence in order to continue to grow in freedom. 4 If this went in a perverse direction it could be like "a naked man having a serpent coiled around the lower part of the body." Charubel warns against "vicious or filthy habits or deeds." Let's not be jerk-offs. 5 Or, "Two bulls are fighting on the edge of a precipice." Force and energy require direction and self-restraint to prevent running into dangers. Strength and pushfulness should be used only with discretion. 6 An agitator with organizing abilities displays "A red flag floating on the top of a very high flagstaff." Radical notions inspre revolutionists. 7 Not all with a martial demeanor are haywire. Some bearing armor, fully equipped with shields, forewarned against danger, are cautious and circumspect, brave and dauntless, surmounting the machinations of enemies. Faithful and just in their dealings, they abide in safety, defended by the goodwill of friends and associates. 8 If problems remain, they can be taken care of by "A Hindu healer." He or she has "an effective impact on the world from the side of an inner or transcendental reality." "A spiritualized self-discipline achieves a magical ordering of the whole course of events." The keyword is Therapy. Week of January 25--February 1, 2025 ~ Goodwill as Defense ~ Cosmic Piper Saturday 25: Moon in Sagittarius Karmically sobering third of this week continues Sunday 26: Moon goes void-of-course at 1:41a PT until entering Capricorn at 5:44a PT.

■ Mars and Reassignment ■ Astrologers including myself have not been giving enough attention to the retrogradation of Mars, December 5 through February 24. It explains a lot. It can be just as troubling as Mercury Retrograde. It happens far less often; the last time was November-January 2022-23 and the next shall be January-February 2027. Just think of RE words. Illegal immigrants are being removed. J6 protesters are being released. Security clearances of villains are being revoked. Many in the anti-Trump deep state are resigning. There is a reset going on in virtually all government agencies. On the personal level, you can reject bad habits, repenting for mistakes. You can reallocate resources. In a way we are redesigning ourselves. A friend who is not an astrologer has been saying lately that he is defragmenting. Some of these readjustments take a long time. Victims of the L A fires may be technically homeless while reorganizing their lives. Victims of the North Carolina storms and floods are partly dependent on charity and government aid while regathering their forces and domiciles. Meanwhile the good people who volunteer to help them are giving up much, reassigning their priorities, to live up to their religion or their ideals. ■ Friday ■ Mars and Reassignment ■ Cosmic Piper Moon in Sagittarius Karmically sobering third of this week is with us until around noon on Sunday

~ Antecedence and Inception ~ 1 "From a cloud proceeds a lunar crescent and a flash of lightning." This impels me to think of Kash Patel, hopefully soon to be confirmed as head of the FBI, for he has said he intends to release all secret files regarding the JFK assassination and regarding the events of 9/11/01. He has "a strong and forceful nature, great despatch and celerity of action, penetrating swift thought and tremendous executive faculty. In the night time judgment will strike home to the sundering of root and branch. There is Cleavage." 2 For several days our retrograde Mars in Cancer, sign of the home, has been at the degree "a woman and two men on a bit of sunlit land facing south." Of course this could indicate illegal migrants being deported by the Department of Homeland Security. It might depict those in Southern California or in North Carolina forced to find new homes and allegiances. It could more happily identify the 1500 pardoned and liberated J6ers. The keyword is Inception. 3 "A woman is entering a convent." "Through cosmic insight the self knows that of itself it is nothing, and that it can find itself only as it somehow can feel itself a participant in all-self." The keyword is Consecration. 4 The inauguration of a new political era makes many feel that they are participants in "A council of ancestors." We depend on "characteristics which have proved their value and hence have continual re-embodiment in the hearts and minds of one generation after another." The keyword is Antecedence. ~ Thursday ~ Antecedence and Inception ~ Cosmic Piper Moon in Scorpio goes void-of-course at 4:04p PT until entering Sagittarius at 8:30p PT. Then the karmically sobering third of this week begins, lasting till Sunday forenoon.

° From Wandering to Therapy ° 1 "A general accepting defeat gracefully" has seen the handwriting on the wall and bowed to its directives, realistically and graciously. 2 Yet some may lose themselves changefully in a multitude of projects and imaginings, as if following the circuitous directions of "a helical scroll." Imagination runs away with reason. Wandering has to terminate somewhere. 3 And so "a woman and two men are on a bit of sunlit land facing south." They are preparing for the inception of a new phase of their lives, perhaps as migrants or ex-migrants. 4 They may require "a spiritualized self-discipline to achieve a magical ordering of the whole course of events." This could be provided by "a Hindu healer" or someone who ministers spectacularly to the minds and bodies of all. The least of human potentials are brought to some ultimate consummation through transcendent therapy. ° Wednesday ° From Wandering to Therapy ° Cosmic Piper Moon in Scorpio Leaving the Via Combusta by about 2:30p PT / 5:30p ET

° Inception ° 1 "A deserter from the navy" symbolizes "human independence carried to a point of extreme rebellion against things as they are." One may "disregard all consequences for an immediate liberation of the spirit." The danger in this is obvious, yet "except as man creates his own allegiances, his destiny holds no depth." The keyword is Defiance. 2 "Two daggers crossed" suggests contention and litigation. A keen, penetrating intellect could turn to a military or a political profession. There could be wounding and a want of harmony. Yet sadly, "lawfare" has become a thing in the current culture. 3 By contrast, "A relay race," keyword Fitness, can be "thoroughgoing cooperation with others in some vital phase of experience." Despite their antagonism, some Biden-administration personnel will pass on a torch to their MAGA successors. "Man's importance to his fellows is his certainty of self- continuance." 4 It's a time of reckoning for the status of our southern U S border. What are "a woman and two men" doing "on a bit of sunlit land facing south"? Which direction are they goiing? The answer of the Trump administration is definitive. More broadly, the soul has to make "necessary decisions in the basic allegiances of life." There has to be "a cohesive pattern of efforts for the sake of a plethora of outer opportunities." The keyword is Inception. ° Tuesday ° Inception ° Cosmic Piper Moon in Libra is void-of-course before entering Scorpio at 8:21a PT. Moon in Via Combusta all day

• Destiny • Inauguration day was set as January 20, in 1933. That is always the first day that Sol, our sun, is in the sign Aquarius each year. Coincidence? Or were secret astrologers behind this? 1 "A child of about five with a huge shopping bag" is the Trump-favoring majority of the population expecting opportunity and fulfillment from the new regime. 2 "A horse and its rider falling at a fence" is most likely not Trump but those who have brought unjust lawfare against him over the years. Their time has come to suffer the results of their headstrong transgressions. 3 Many believe that Trump is a man of destiny. His "capacities of leadership" are "a revelation of racial stewardship on the personal or spiritual side." There is "some dramatic manifestation of genius vital to the general welfare." "A dark shadow or mantle is thrown suddenly over the right shoulder." 4 At a more intellectual level we have "A book on which stand a compass and an hourglass." Time and space are not obliterated but comprehended from some level beyond their limits. The new Trump era will get scholars working to re-vision political alliances around the globe, for example. The extension of the interactions of temporal-spatial dimensions, in whatever field of study, is not just theoretic but useful. • Monday • Destiny • Cosmic Piper Moon in Libra and the Via Combusta Moon goes void-of-course at 8:35p PT / 11:35p ET The sun entered Aquarius on Sunday the 19th at 3:01p ET

☆ Benevolence ☆ Because it's inauguration week, the positive indications will seem more appropriate for MAGA people than for others, yet all shall have at least consolation prizes. The most promising aspect may be Venus's trine with Mars, covering January 18 through February 2. Party-time! Yet still the Jupiter-Saturn square keeps us on our toes morally-ethically. Our souls want us to serve conscience more than merely pleasure. 1 "Two men turn the handle of a crane from which a chain is attached by a hook to a large stone." The stone could be the national debt. The two men would then be the two political parties, which are going to have to cooperate to service and reduce it. 2 "A man with two horses plowing" could be DJT using the two ends of the political spectrum for his own or the nation's purposes. Psychically or spiritually this is "preparing the earth for the reception of precious seed. The plowman is the pioneer or forerunner of a higher manifestation." Let us hope. 3 When the process goes awry it is like "a helical scroll" leading on a circuitous path lacking definition, tortuous and chaotic--seemingly aimless Wandering. However, 4 "An angel is blowing a trumpet." Within its tune is "a message having a bearing on the social or spiritual condition of mankind." When at his best, Trump can represent the archangel Michael according to the Tarot Calendar (his birthday is June 14th and the 14th Arcanum portrays Michael). 5 Inauguration plans are being impacted by Venus's conjunction with Saturn--cold weather, so that major portions of the ceremony are being moved inside. "The walls of a spacious hall like a museum are covered with symbols and hieroglyphics." Trump likes to amplify pageantry. 6 "On the battlements of a strong castle on a high rock, a flag with a crown on it is extended in the wind." This is the flag of one "capable of withstanding his enemies while achieving greatness and fame." 7 But humble folk are not left out. "The Tau represents one whose inner nature few understand, who will not be popular in the current age; one outwardly a babe but inwardly a giant--'of such is the kingdom of heaven.'" 8 The spiritualized self-discipline of "a Hindu healer" achieves a magical ordering of the whole course of events. The keyword is Therapy. 9 Steve Bannon has exulted that the bar at the Inauguration party should be well-stocked and open late ( though neither he nor Trump are drinkers). "From a cup or goblet, rays of ruddy light are emitted." "A generous and humane disposition is ever eager to befriend and comfort. The grandeur and spiritual loftiness of this soul will attract many friends. Charity and benevolence shall enfold all mankind."

□ Guarding □ 1 We need patience, with Venus conjoining Saturn the planet of delays. Light-hearted romance is doubtful, blunted or squelched, but deep loyalty can be reassuring. "A tiger is standing guard over its young litter." Protecting the immature is essential. 2 Not all is doom and gloom; Neptune in Pisces is trine Mars and sextile the sun. There could be self-indulgence: "Contentment and happiness in luxury, people reading on davenports." Repose could amount to pure unruffled mastery within relaxed experience. 3 "On either side of an extended vista, majestic trees are covered with a profusion of foliage." Even in winter, landscapes can be enchanting. Idealistic visions ameliorate bleakness. 4 "A man is walking beside a cow, his hand on her back, bringing her home from the pasture at eventide." You do this for someone, and someone does this for you. □ Friday □ Guarding □ Cosmic Piper Moon in Virgo Karmically sobering third of this week is at its peak, gentler Saturday, ending very early Sunday morning.

• From Chaos toward Magic • The Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release deal is encouraging, though some Israelis find that it doesn't measure up to their hopes. Noteworthy: The hostages were taken on October 7, 2023 when Venus was approaching an opposition with Saturn by three degrees. This deal releasing some of them happens while Venus is conjoining Saturn by three degrees. In both cases Saturn is in Pisces, a sign sometimes connected with imprisonment. Venus-Saturn hard aspects tend to be grief-filled. Mars was exactly squared to Pluto on 10/7/23. Now it is going away from the opposition with that planet by five degrees, and going backward (geocentrically) to indicate re<vision and re<lease. But not all the hostages shall be released yet. Venus conjunct Saturn can be depressing delays. Meanwhile the sun is exactly opposite Mars, which can only happen when Mars is retrograde every three years or so. Military forces around the world are being shaken up or re<vised. Pete Hegseth had to undergo tedious (retrograde) grilling to get confirmed as Defense Secretary. Mars is not only retrograde but in the sign of its fall, Cancer--a good time for wars to cease, let us pray. Thursday's symbols: 1 "An indescribable scene; chaos, confusion, dissolving views" sounds like the Senate confirmation hearings. In your own trajectory, patience is needed with little things that are hard to pin down. 2 "An arrow passing through a cloud of smoke" is penetrating ambition pursued with directness. An antidote to paragraph 1. 3 "A fire worshiper" is not an arsonist but one who realizes "an inviolable tie with the creative power of the universe itself." "Ultimate independence of circumstances" is "ideality brought to the point of miracle," or Magic. 4 Dare we aspire toward "contentment and happiness in luxury, people reading on davenports"? This could be Neptune in its own lazy sign forming an exact sextile with the sun and an exact trine with fallen retrograde Mars while they remain in tense opposition. We are entitled to some Repose. • Thursday • From Chaos toward Magic • Cosmic Piper Moon in Leo is void-of-course until entering Virgo at 8:47a PT / 11:47a ET

¤ Perseverance ¤ 1 The Senate confirmation hearings are very confusing. Why ought not Trump have the right to choose his own Cabinet? The senators appear to be "a large group of pheasants" who have no idea what they are doing. Every facet of approval or disapproval is reduplicated and multiplied illimitably. How is that playing out in some facets of your own life? 2 We might be better off if, like "a man stripped to the waist hewing timber," we just got down to our daily labor with rustic simplicity. Some build a house, some found a colony or business. Or just do what's needed, simpliciter. 3 "A storm in a canyon" pyramids reality to intensification. Nature's unleashed powers replicate our own as we rise to supremacy over each momentary crisis. 4 Then we can continue climbing upward from the canyon in "a mountain pilgrimage," with indomitable integrity and high vision. Our quest is not new (Mars is retrograde) but a continuation of an established one, with comprehensive perseverance. Next week, which includes inauguration day, should be less rigorous or more friendly. ¤ Wednesday ¤ Perseverance ¤ Cosmic Piper Moon in Leo goes void-of-course at 8:11p PT / 11:11p ET

○ Peacemakers ○ 0 Moral struggle is upon us. We need to find and manifest our souls by struggling on behalf of some cause or some dramatized conception. Otherwise uncertainty is disintegrative. 1 "A hawk is hovering over a nest of young birds." "The life is fraught with dangers of an incendiary character." The young birds are, for Elon Musk, Tommy Robinson, Rupert Lowe and Nigel Farage, the hundreds of thousands of girls tormented and raped by Muslim Pakistani gangs. 2 "A tiger is standing guard over its young litter." The tiger is the parents of the aforesaid children who have appealed in vain for help from their government. It is also the Israelis and Americans trying to gain release of hostages held by Hamas. To what "litter" or individual are you watchfully devoted? 3 "A Topsy (slave girl) saucily asserting herself" could be the aforesaid girls or others who are waking up to their rights. Spiritual impudence when appropriate is upheld by the Supreme as an avenue of growth. 4 "A man stripped to the waist hewing timber" is anyone with goodwill making good use of his powers. With a simple and natural mind he builds a house or founds a colony. 5 Under a cloudless sky and brilliant sunshine, a field of ripe corn is ready for the sickle. There is health of body, peace of mind, a happy disposition, and prosperity in transactions. 6 On "A mountain pilgrimage" we hold unswervingly to the ultimate course we have chosen for ourselves.

♧ Pilgrimage ♧ 1 What is the difference between personality and reason? They are complementary functions. "A Muse is weighing twins." There is the world of the senses and the realm of eternalities. They are united in spiritual wholeness. Then all things are evaluated wisely. 2 Estranged from his kindred, a man follows an adventurous, precarious livelihood. He roams distant places carrying a load of cares with resignation. Leaning on a long staff he walks down a hill in his remarkable pilgrimage. 3 A ferry boat takes people across a wide deep stream. A guide and teacher of the public is of far more service to others than to himself. 4 We are enamored of the beautiful, the refined, the ornamental. Love is in the air, along with music and good company. The smooth aspect between Mars and Venus coming up from January 18th through February 2nd may be foreshadowing itself.

°Avidity° 1 Aa I write, the news is all about the horrific fires near Los Angeles. But a symbol for the day is "A man with upraised arms submerged in water over which heavy rain is falling." There could be trouble from the surplus of an element whether fire, water or wind. "The strong swimmer alone can attempt the deep waters" says Sepharial. Where one is incompetent one ought not to venture. 2 "A muse weighing twins" is comparing possibilities which are similar, yet a choice has to be made. Once this evaluation is complete, 3 The human soul is receptive to growth and understanding. A delight in normal living is real and rewarding, encountered through infinite ramifications of itself. With avidity one enters into kaleidoscopic patterns of personal relationship, in unbounded enthusiasm. 4 People are noticing a return to religion, spirituality and ethics. Outrage over injustice impels an emphasis on ideality, on a symphony of cosmic reconciliations. Individual character reorders inharmony. "A hidden choir is singing."

◇Heritage◇ 1 A child of about five with a huge shopping bag is a naive steward of what he owns, what he might own, and of what others own or might own.

°Greater than a Man° 1 When did the US decide to certify the November elections on January 6, and why? That day was known, for centuries before the US was founded, as Epiphany, celebrating the Wise Men's visit to the newborn Jesus. 2 I watched some of a video of the certification, and when it was complete, the camera focused on JD Vance on the floor and for a good half hour people were getting photos taken with him. He looked like the happiest man there. His birthday, August 2, is one of eight Jack of Diamonds days in the year. JD, get it? Another Jack of Diamonds day is July 4. Get it? What are JD's chances in 2028? 3 I am still studying the Bright Hermetic Epoch chart covering January 4 through February 28. The symbols in it are remarkable. One is "I seem to be above the earth: I see the sun rising above the horizon, while it is yet dark on that hemisphere toward which it is approaching." When the sun rises on Greenland it is still dark in the USA. Donald Trump is said to be going to Greenland this week to try to make it a part of the USA. Charubel continues: "The signification of this strange phenomenon, in part, is: A man, yet one greater than a man! His mission is a ○world○ mission, but present conditions will scarcely admit of such a development." Will present conditions permit DJT to annex Greenland and Canada to the US? Few think so, but he's giving it a try. Fascinating. 4 If you're not reading posts on X, you may be missing a huge scandal destined to rock the UK and the world. Of course I mean the "grooming" or more accurately raping of thousands of young girls by mostly Pakistani Muslim gangs over many years, concealed by UK officials from the public eye. Who is fighting to reveal all this and agitate for justice? The big two at this point are Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk, though others are joining the cause. This symbol from the amazing seer Charubel, for the degree occupied by Pluto in the BHE chart, seems to blazon their character: "A warrior in bright armor with drawn sword, pursuing a savage multitude. One with great occult ability, and who has a mission to accomplish; a °White Magician°! Go and conquer."

Twelfth Night and Epiphany I've been saying for weeks that a new Bright Hermetic Epoch would come on January 4, lasting through February 28. It's here. What shall it be like? For years I've been studying charts constructed for the center of each Epoch when Mercury and the sun are conjoined from our geocentric perspective. They work, as basic horoscopes for the whole two month period, as I saw again while I reviewed past Epochs during this lholiday season. But in astrology as elsewhere, hindsight is easier than foresight. So I am still struggling to find a cogent keynote for the new Epoch. I'll say this much: It should be less stressful than the November-December Dark Epoch. That one was full of squares and oppositions. It was good for exercise of skill and orientation more than for fulfillment. This new Epoch could be a lot easier yet we might lose a definitive sense of direction even though things go smoothly. I'll try to make this cleaner as the days go by. I am optimistic. We do need to listen to our souls, to our conscience and Higher Self, rather than fritter away our time. Monday January 6 is Epiphany in the Christian calendar, celebrating the Wise Men's approach to Jesus, giving him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. My favorite (Oxford-Cambridge) translation calls them simply astrologers. Happy 12th Day of Christmas and Epiphany. Cosmic Piper Moon in Aries

¤ Pertinacity ¤ Let's look at a crucial paragraph (6) from last week's forecast: 'We have spoken of the ethically demanding Jupiter-Saturn square exact now though lasting through next July. It summons and builds character. Saturn's symbol this week is "a hand with a sword in it, enveloped in a halo of golden light. That sword is not for indiscriminate slaughter. It is to defend the right." "Whoever thou art, thou hast a mission to accomplish." Yet we all have seen in the news how horribly a sense of mission can go awry. Let's be careful, and settle things through diplomacy as far as possible.' Who is bearing that "sword to defend the right"? Many. I nominate Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk, who are putting their personal convenience and safety way behind their brave defense of the thousands of girls who have been sexually tortured for years in the UK by Muslim gangs. The karmic Jupiter-Saturn square continues this week, indeed until late July, so we need to be specially alert to a challenge to uphold our ideals when that seems difficult. The long awaited Bright Hermetic Epoch of two months begins the first day of this week, January 4. But Saturday is the most intense day of the Difficult Third of this week. We could expect inclement weather and melancholy moods, clearing up Sunday-Monday. Still, we may find plans and agendas shaping up with more clarity and positivity than in November-December. January 4-11: 1 A child of about five with a huge shopping bag has high expectations. Who is that in your life? 2 A large stepladder which leads to nowhere suggests a need for fixedness of purpose rather than just self-amusement. 3 An Indian chief demanding recognition has made a place of advantage for himself and maintains his authority inflexibly. 4 A person of strong will, lofty in deportment, resembles an acute triangle with a cross on the top. He or she would do well in a governmental position. 5 Yet he needs to be sure he does not neglect his higher ideals. What has made his life worthwhile? The inner voice of conscience. "A cross lying on rocks" would be an abandonment of conscience. 6 "In a niche are set a lamp or book and a missal." Devotion to the Supreme returns. Religion, philosophy and the fine arts bring illumination. 7 Can that be shared with others? Not easily. "An old man is attempting vainly to reveal the Mysteries." There needs to be uncompromising integrity and a revolt against inertia: Pertinacity. 8 "A master is instructing his pupil." Self-refinement and self-orientation proceed best when worked at in common. "Personality comes into its own as it is able to direct its own destiny." Not AI but the human masters of AI perform patient investigation with psychological insight. The keyword is Elucidation. Week of January 4-11, 2025 ¤ Pertinacity ¤ Cosmic Piper Saturday 4: Moon in Pisces Karmic third of this week is at highest intensity Sunday 5: Moon goes void-of-course at 6:31a PT until entering Aries at 11:02a PT Karmic third ends around noon PT, early afternoon ET

□ Clearance of Brutality □ Interesting facts: Mathematicians have pointed out that 2025 is 45 × 45 (45 squared). Someone posted this alongside a photo of Trump wearing a red cap with a big 45 on it, signifying that he was the 45th President. Now he shall become the 47th in the year that is 45 squared. It seems I need to offer a short course in the significance of the harsh Mars-Pluto aspects (the conjunction, opposition and square). A square between them was exact on the infamous day of October 7, 2023 when more than a thousand young Israelis were murdered by the Islamic Hamas, with hundreds still held hostage. The opposition between those two planets is exact from December 31 through January 4, 2024-25. You know what happened on New Year's Eve: the brutal murder of innocents in New Orleans by an Islamic terrorist. It's time that people wake up to the horror of Islam. I don't know Muhammad's horoscope but would not be surprised if it featured a harsh Mars-Pluto aspect. Here is what astrologer Reinhold Ebertin says about such aspects: "Ruthlessness, brutality, violent acts, being harmed, danger of accidents and injury, use of brutal means, disregard of others, having to suffer violence, accidents with longlasting consequences." What he leaves out is sexual violence such as rape, but it can definitely be part of the picture. Mars rules male genitalia and Pluto sexuality of all forms. Rape was egregiously, tragically perpetrated on 10/7/23. Further, what is hitting the headlines right now is the case of Tommy Robinson in Britain, who is unjustly imprisoned for the "crime" of reporting boldly and honestly the sexual violence of Islamic immigrant gangs against thousands of young girls in Britain. Rather than praising his heroism, his government has put him in solitary confinement, a form of torture. Fortunately Elon Musk and other true souls are beginning to take up his cause. I surmised that Tommy might have a Mars-Pluto aspect in his birth chart and he has the square by less than 10 degrees. This, with other indications, enables him to see the dangers and fight against them. I'll make no predictions about the next few days but it's likely these issues will remain hot topics. Clearance is needed, and Mars-Pluto is good for that when ethically utilized. Something positive? On Saturday the 4th a new Bright Hermetic Epoch of two months begins. Some of the fog clears, both in politics and personal matters. Then from January 18th to February 2nd a trine between Mars and Venus smooths and harmonizes everything, just as the new Administration gets inaugurated in WDC. There are good reasons for patience and hope. Friday □ Clearance of Brutality □ Cosmic Piper Moon in Aquarius goes void-of-course Thursday at 8:14p PT until it enters Pisces Friday at 7:22a PT
