• Strategy Nobility Influencer Innocence • 1 Strategy. Some seek their ends with subtlety and acquire them by force, like a tiger crouching in the act of assault. They are diplomatic yet assertive, finding it hard not to make enemies. 2 Nobility. A flag-bearer is aware of the enduring significance overshadowing immediate interests or selfish concerns. Common ideals are raised above individual ambitions (as perhaps a remedy for the dangers of paragraph 1). 3 Influencer. You may admire "an extraordinary person destined to take an active part in public life, exercising a great influence on mankind" says Charubel, who gives this degree a special star rating, * * *. 4 Innocence. Normality is a happy and full participation in everyday living, such as is projected and enjoyed by tiny children in sunbonnets. • Monday • Strategy Nobility Influencer Innocence • Cosmic Piper Moon in Leo

Messages for the Weekend of December 6th and 7th, 2025 Saturday 6: 1 Barrenness. There could be futile or vacuous projects, symbolized by a black hole or cavern in a rock. Climb back out. 2 Joviality. Two men playing cards together cheer each other. 3 Nobility. There's a red Maltese cross on an unfurled white flag. Pure intentions vanquish every petty foe. 4 Fortune. A bluebird is standing at the door of the house. Real rewards are imminent. Moon in Cancer Sunday 7: 1 Individuality. A mole, reserved and determined, despises public opinion. 2 Abandonment. A man afloat upon a raft has essayed daring adventures which estrange him from friends and kindred. 3 Zeal. Headstrong enthusiasm has its place yet could exhaust vital powers, like a house on fire. 4 Emulation. Rather, it is good to pursue a normal richness of living through play and training, like a chubby boy on a hobbyhorse. There's a pyramid of ambitious goals ahead.

Immigrants have creative faith in a frontier, escaping an impasse, improving on prior achievement. 4 Placidity. Yet there can also be the patience and contentment of a group of cattle browsing in the sunshine. An unambitious calling yields calm joy. 5 A place for everything and everything in its place.

Although Mercury is no longer retrograde, it moves very slowly so that a Dark or Slow Hermetic Epoch continues till December 16, with plenty of delays, misunderstandings and out-of-pattern scheduling. Peace! A cataract falling from one rocky ledge To another resembles precipitate and hazardous Human projects. Beware of all-swallowing Compulsions. A man standing with drawn sword Is in danger of wounding or being wounded, Whether in assault or litigation.

Thanksgiving Weekend Turning Point

 Thanksgiving Weekend Turning Point, Friday November 28th through Sunday November 30th

Mercury finally turns direct (though actually motionless geocentrically) on Saturday at 9:41a PT / 12:41p ET. At best this is a feeling of peace and calm reorientation. But it will take a few days for plans to become clearer. The Dark Hermetic Epoch continues until December 16th. Then begins a two-month period of relatively unhindered forward progress extending through the holidays till February 11th. Friday 28: The daily symbols are good on this so-called Black Friday, suggesting youthfulness, security and prosperity. Shopping for or with children or childlike adults could go well, with an emphasis on playfulness or games. "Tiny children in sunbonnets" bear the keyword Innocence. Moon in Pisces Saturday 29: Moods could be down during this Karmically sobering third of the week day. Some may have thoughts of moving: "Pelicans moving their habitat" has the keyword Frontier. There continues an ambience of childlike simplicity. Moon in Pisces goes void-of-course at 4:06p PT until entering Aries at 5:08p PT Sunday 30: Those determined to procure what they want seem like "men cutting through ice," with some items beyond their means. Childlike amusements remain appropriate. Moon in Aries Let's hope and pray that the gears of negotiation are turning to bring peace at last to the Ukraine-Russia imbroglio killing thousands every week. And let's not forget Nigeria and Sudan where Christians and others are being persecuted. • Thanksgiving Weekend Turning Point • Cosmic Piper

° Persuasion or Innocence ° 0 Happy Thanksgiving! Some of the symbols are disturbing, and Mercury continues retrograde till Saturday, and now it appears the Trump Rubio Zelensky peace agreement will be delayed till December. 1 A man looking at himself in a looking-glass is either vain, or fond of and proud of vain projects. 2 A man strangling a fowl is cruel, taking advantage of the weak and defenseless. I shall enjoy a vegetarian Thanksgiving. 3 To which warriors does the next symbol apply: Netanyahu, Zelensky Putin? "A warrior plumed, haranguing a multitude of armed soldiers." He leads by the power of authority and expression. Or is that you and a friend or relative arguing at the holiday table? The keyword is Persuasion. 4 I would prefer my Thanksgiving to be characterized by the final symbol, "Tiny children in sunbonnets." Contact with others is a corrective for frustration.

Charubel gives that degree the symbol "A man holding a fowl by the neck in the act of strangling it. A cruel person and a coward who will take advantage of the weak and defenseless." I never promised that these forecasts would be all sweetness and light. 2 "A man swimming in an angry sea is resolute and brave, taking great risks upon himself for the benefit of others," says Sepharial. "He will meet with recognition and honor as the leader of a forlorn hope." (Zelensky, Rubio, Trump, other negotiators trying to end a devastating war?) 3 "An old owl up in a tree" will not be anyone's Thanksgiving dish. He embodies the dignity of self-respect. The keyword is Normality. 4 Is it possible that a projected meeting between Zelensky and Trump could actually end the war?

One could gain mastery over the passions of others but not without jealousy or suspicion, making for "poisoned love." There could be sinister folly. 2 That warning is reinforced by "a tiger ready for a spring on its prey." We all know what is going on in world trouble-spots.

• Learning to Fly? • 0 Of course Mercury remaining retrograde until the weekend after Thanksgiving means REtracking of Epstein allegations. But maybe an end to the REdiculous shutdown. What I would say to comfort you is: No, you are not "losing it." Symptoms of the backward Mercury, whose keyword is Mind, may appear in the guise of something like dementia. Don't believe it! You can REgain your bearings. Life's events being out-of-pattern is natural at these times. Go deeper into your soul's ethical-spiritual integrity. 1 The keyword Orphanage is derived from the symbol "a nest of young unfledged birds lying on the ground." Whatever our age we may feel "bereft of parents and guardians." (Such as Epstein's girls?) Yet gradually we can get our bearings and learn to fly. 2 "A man strangling a fowl" is cruel and cowardly, taking advantage of the weak and defenseless. Let's make sure we don't do this mentally or emotionally by deriding anyone who has yet to find his or her way. 3 "A man viewing himself in a looking-glass" might be legitimately appreciating his appearance, or might be vain or following a vain course in life. 4 Or, attracting him beyond himself, "Cupid is knocking at the door." There is social and romantic self-renewal, with an insatiable appetite for enlarged experience. Ties with others are made, broken, and perhaps remade.

At best it can be a restful hiatus from usual patterns. "Don't worry" is easy to say but hard to implement unless one is developing deep spiritual faith. "Be not afraid, only believe" said Jesus (Mark 5:36). 1 The symbols for the day seem somewhat superficial. "An archer shooting his arrows toward a flight of birds" is restless, flighty and indeterminate, perhaps involved in more love affairs than he can manage. He is intense but nonchalant and his inconsequential acts could be hurtful. 2 "A soldier derelict in duty" finds it "ever impossible to continue in any course which does not prove rewarding." The keyword is Deviation. This may be a hint that even if we modify normal routines we should take care of essentials. 3 Cupid is knocking at the door; maybe he is the archer of paragraph 1.

He and we make a niche for ourselves in a unique area of reality through Cleverness. 3 So there could be Vanity, as if we resembled "a man looking at his face in a looking-glass." What seems a vain pursuit or profitless calling to one (trips to Mars) may be intriguing to another. 4 Is the government shutdown near its end, with Mars moving from Scorpio to Sagittarius?

° Spontaneous Benevolence ° 1 "A small cottage is surrounded by a thicket" suggesting that we are protecting ourselves from possible enemies. This is good, providing it does not degenerate into obsessive anxiety. 2 More happily, "a female with the lyre in her hand" exhibits musical talent. She is fond of change and so may appear fickle, but she appreciates the refined in art and the sublime in nature. 3 You might recall what you did three days ago. Were you, or an acquaintance, "The Halloween jester"? Maybe you could reprise that role today, releasing buoyant energies through which to gain refreshment. Humor could either go haywire or open up a genuine spiritual sensitiveness. The keyword is Spontaneousness. 4 The "thicket" protecting our cottage may be no longer needed at some point. Rather, we luxuriate in "a rustic cottage overarched by a spreading cedar tree." In homey simplicity we shelter, succour and befriend wayside travelers as well as friends and family.

Saturday 1: 1 "A solitary tree upon a rocky height" represents someone independent and prideful. There's danger that his isolated feelings will engender betrayal and enmity, "a dark and threatening cloud." 2 "A man walking on the edge of a precipice" may not foresee danger. He is sensitive and impulsive; also very affectionate and honorable. May he be alert to protective intuitions. 3 "A mariner's compass" might help. Secret studies could result in useful discoveries. 4 "An Indian squaw pleading to the chief for the lives of her children" could be impoverished parents pleading with government agencies to prevent a shutdown lapse in funding for the SNAP program which feeds their families. The response of both Democrats and Republicans to their pleas has been shameful. "Ho hum, maybe next week. Fast, or try to find an accessible food bank." Shameful. The Indian chief's response would be more merciful, for the keyword is Effectiveness. First things first! Moon in Pisces Karmically sobering third of this week is with us Sunday 2: 1 "A hare is seated upon a knoll above its burrow; behind it, the rising moon." Is the hare aware of real dangers or imaginary ones? He experiences Insecurity, as do many Americans this weekend during the government shutdown. 2 We might be reckless enough to be "walking on the edge of a precipice," but according to Charubel we are also "very affectionate and honorable in all transactions." And so the Highest may well protect us via timely intuitions. 3 "A Native American woman" is still "pleading to the chief for the lives of her children" while the government shutdown drags on, depriving her and millions of crucial nutrition (SNAP). Let's hope the keyword, Effectiveness, means that "the high responsibilities the group must accept for the welfare of each individual" will in fact be accepted tardily by Congress. 4 There are happier trends as well. "An elevated promontory is illumined by the noonday sun and crowned with variously colored flowers." There is flattery along with personal charm and attractiveness. Many of fortune's favors are coincident with material or spiritual Elevation.

No; the keyword is Research. 2 "A person at a table with drawing instruments and paper" is artistic; perhaps an architect or engineer; a lover of the fine arts. 3 "A sheaf of corn" denotes "a practical benefactor of the race; a good member of society." 42 million food stamp recipients are ready to cry "Trick or treat!" Good luck to them. 4 "The king of the fairies approaching his domain" sounds like an excellent Halloween costume or role. Dr. Jones says, "Any actual fullness of life is altogether independent of the passing state of affairs in a world of time and space." There can be "a special competence of inward vision and a consequent outward perspective of high effectiveness." There is a real kingdom of fairies?

Living in memories of the past and dreams of the future, we could be oblivious to the demands of present duties. Let's not be careless. 2 We hear a trumpet, flute and drum arousing us! "A military band is on the march." The blare of self-affirmation announces self-mobilized effort, with the keyword Intrepidity. 3 The humdrum of life is too tame for us as we are drawn to "a stupendous waterfall." We desire the wild and romantic in nature and in art. A love of the marvelous superabounds. 4 Then, away from the waterfall, we bask in a vision of "the moon shining across a lake."

Saturday 25: 1 A light, joyous spirit sometimes runs away with the reason. "A man is walking with two women, their arms linked in his." Who is trustworthy and who is frivolous? The keyword is Vacillation. 2 Yet "a triangle" can denote "a variety of gifts, with force of character. One who commands respect without assumption." 3 "Crowds are coming down the mountain to listen to one man." Some bear implicit spiritual authority. They enlist the higher potentialities of everyone for some need of the moment. The keyword is Appeal. 4 Charubel marks this degree with * * * , indicating "an extraordinary person destined to take an active part in public life, who will exercise a great influence on mankind."

Some find fault with existing systems and laws even though unable to improve upon them. A mocking, taunting spirit would bring trouble or retribution. 2 Likewise "a tiger ready for a spring on its prey" is cruel and revengeful if symbolizing a treacherous human being. 3 Yet there are nobler trends, and crowds are still "coming down the mountain to listen to one man" who makes an Appeal to them through the supremacy of spiritual authority. 4 At this juncture there could be music and singing. "On the arm of a lyre there hangs a wreath of laurels." The fine arts make our minds harmonious, generous and peaceable.

2 Back to heaviness with "a human skull" which brings forth melancholy but also intimations of immortality. There is fondness for the occult and mystical. 3 Through a noble mind and pure intentions one can eventually "triumph over all obstacles and vanquish every puny foe." "A white flag with a red Maltese cross is unfurled." 4 When "an individual subordinates his naive animal impulses to his ideals and aspirations" he is like "a bunny metamorphosed into a fairy."

It may take a while to get reassuring compass-point bearings. 1 "A soldier derelict in duty" suffers a conflict between obligations and desires. "The inherent divinity of the individual makes it ever impossible for him to continue in any course which does not prove rewarding." The keyword is Deviation. 2 Cruelty is never rewarding and is symbolized by "a man holding a fowl by the neck and strangling it." It is cowardly and karmically self-hurtful to take advantage of the weak and defenseless. 3 "A prison door" closes on forced seclusion for those of vicious tendencies. Yet, says Sepharial, "even the caged bird will sing, and to every prison house there is a way out." 4 Under enlightened prison management, some become students or scholars.

We know the trouble spots where some are like "gladiators, armed with dagger and shield, ready for the fray." But obviously affrays and quarrels are dangerous for all of us.

There can be psychological indomitability or (the keyword) Daring. 4 As relief from paragraphs 1 and 2, "a man is in the midst of a lot of children at play."

Saturday 18: 1 "A naked man is falling from a rock into a lake." He was easily led away by sexual temptation. He may attain a high position and then suffer disgrace. 2 "A pair of scales in one hand and a sword in the other" indicates justice, but some dispensers of it may be too severe. Judgment needs to be tempered with understanding and kindness. 3 "A heron" has fine and keen perceptions, never apathetic, but could through sensitivity be carried to extremes. 4 "A parrot listening and then talking" might be accused of idle mimicry, but after all he is a parrot. He, and we, project the image in which we create ourselves. The keyword is Conventionality. That is, after all, safer than the extremism of the previous paragraphs. Moon in Virgo goes void-of-course at 2:12p PT until entering Libra at 9:03p PT. The Karmically sobering third of this week is intense all day. Let's cultivate detachment and peace. Sunday 19: 1 Who is "a pest and a terror to society"? Terrorists, of course, and others as well. We may wisely pray to be protected from "a serpent with many heads in a circle, with fangs protruding." Curses are averted by God for those who keep themselves in a state of grace through faith in Christ Jesus. 2 " A young maiden mourning and weeping" represents any of us who feel bereft of friends or family. But melancholy can be a God-seeking emotion. 3 The parrot is still listening and talking; see Saturday's paragraph 4. 4 "A rustic cottage overarched by a spreading cedar tree" indicates benevolence and homey simplicity. One is solicitous of peace and comfort, ready to shelter and befriend wayside travelers as well as housemates.

Patience, endurance, and self-government ultimately reap rewards. 2 There are temptations, symbolized by "a female in a state of nudity." The "lower passions" make some voluptuous (perhaps at a heavy price; heed well). 3 "A Welsh harp," however, denotes equanimity, evenness of temper, and regularity of conduct.
