○ 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
