• Trusting Approbation •

Whining, complaining and lamenting could

Usurp the place of calm activity. 

Rabbits dressed in clothes and on parade 

Project themselves into Approbation.

Suspicion can be poison; one can trust 

An unsealed letter Confidently.

A display of the aurora borealis 

Is like an original, brilliant, forceful mind. 

Indulging too freely in luxuries is like eating 

Too much fruit from a loaded tree, yet

People possess fine tastes and accomplishments.

An old sage sitting by his midnight lamp

Studies a problem with grand mental ambition. 

A gigantic will makes him a true magician.

• Toward Ascendancy and Union • 

1 "Mathematical instruments on a table with a sheet of blank white paper" hint that we might neglect our mathematical (or other) abilities rather than use them wisely. 

2 Someone important to you is or was the founder of a society, school of philosophy, or great movement. 

3 "A mermaid" symbolizes "the nascent eagerness of the soul for a private and personal participation in every possible facet of self-fulfillment. The individual forever seeks and responds to the creative needs of life itself." The keyword is Importunity. 

4 "A man is walking with two women, their arms linked in his." A light, joyous spirit could be duplicitous, making for trouble in love or marriage. The keyword is Vacillation. 

5 The quiet moments of experience are a real opportunity for self-orientation. "Two fairies on a moonlit night" are magically rising above whatever may threaten their well-being. The keyword is Ascendancy. 

6 Sepharial gives a beautiful interpretation of "Two golden circles joined by a blue ribbon tied in a double bow." This is someone kind and benevolent, fortunate in one or two marriages, an idealist loving peace and concord, making many sincere friends. The keyword is Union.

° Sustaining Ascendancy °

0 You may find it helpful to choose one to three of the following paragraphs as pertinent to your current situation. Near the end of the day you might revisit all six for further light. 

1 Some will "do well by dealing with what lies deep in the earth."

2 "Many little birds on the limb of a large tree" could symbolize "a happy lightness of the human spirit as it rejoices in its infinitely varying relations with the beautiful and the good." The keyword is Ramification. 

3 "A mummer's mask" might belong to a coquette or someone given to mimicry and imitation, simulating the character of others, with a natural aptitude for theatricals. 

4 "In the center of a high mountain plateau one of the ancient magi is performing his matutinal devotions. The lord of day ascends on the luminous horizon." 

5 "Two fairies on a moonlit night" are exalting fancy as a dynamic factor in all self-realization. There is a transforming sensitivity or a healing imagination. The keyword is Ascendancy. 

6 "Two hands are linked in a close grip of friendship." Many are demonstrating "a rich, unselfish nature, capable of those little greatnesses in daily life which make a person beloved, if not remarkable, and probably instrumental in forming some large associations for social co-operation or intellectual improvement." The keyword is Sustaining.

• Overcoming Misanthropy to find Daybreak • 

1 Charubel warns us to avoid cellars, basements or other low places, to escape the danger of something falling from above. 

2 "A dagger," says Sepharial, is "an ominous sign!" Mars in Donald Trump's birth chart is at this degree of quarrels, arguments and impulsive actions. Many today will be on the alert to attack and oppose. They may be "very executive, but by no means constructive in disposition, hence liable to go through life like a tornado, remarked but not esteemed."

3 "A pillar of black marble roughly hewn" denotes someone melancholy and misanthropic. He or she may make a bad match, with probable separation. The keyword is Solitariness. 

4 "Game birds feathering their nests" are consciously participating in a group destiny, justifying their own being by fulfilling the expectation of others. The keyword is Meticulousness. 

5 "Daybreak" is a symbol of the cycles of change as an ultimate assurance to the human heart. "Reality is ever a beginning in the sense of the immediacy it offers the individual." The keyword is Genesis. 

6 "A star surrounded with many rings" is positive and assuring. "Thou never need be cast down. Thou wilt meet with trials, but fear not, 'Thy bread shall be given thee, and thy water is sure.'"

3 This is the same as paragraph 3 of Monday's message.

4 "A wild boar" represents someone unusual, sometimes coarse or impolite but brutally honest. He has "a life of his own, a sphere of his own and pleasures of his own."

5 "A fair woman looking at her face in a handglass" may be deemed "frivolous, improvident and foolish, laughing in the face of fate."

6 But there is "a rainbow" overhead, a consistent ordering throughout the world in which we find ourselves, lending us "very real spiritual power and presence in all personal effort and desire." The keyword is Significance.

• Steadfastness Brings Significance • 

1 It is not necessary to continue any given action to the point of self-cancellation, so it need not happen that "an automobile is wrecked by a train." We have control. "The ultimate obligation of the individual is to himself, and not to the narrow and momentary direction of circumstances." The keyword is Dispersion. 

2 A better form of dispersion is "men getting large granite stones out of a rock." They succeed with the most ordinary things of this world, even become wealthy by means others would consider beneath their notice. 

3 "A thick wood stands at the back of a field in which a man is plowing with an ox." The keyword is Steadfastness. 

4 An ordinary looking, cleanshaven man is fond of conventional pleasures and popular amusements. 

5 "A centaur, half man and half horse" subtly and changefullly simulates the virtues and vices of others, often diplomatically. He may alternate between paths of debasing instinct and high endeavor.

6 "A rainbow" assures us of divine participation in the most unpromising of human relationships. Nature will co-operate effectively with every vision we choose to keep alive. There is very real spiritual power and presence in all personal effort and desire. The keyword is Significance.

1 We are early in a crescent New Moon period, so some matters are premature. 

2 A gladiator, armed and ready for the fray, should calm down. 

3 "A man felling a tree" finds contentment in simple work. He or she is a good friend. 

4 "A cat arguing with a mouse" symbolizes "a gift for persuading others to accept the motives of self and to cooperate with its ends." The keyword is Justification. 

5 "An untidy, unkempt man" seems "insensitive to every exaction or reward of the world. Paradoxically enough the bringing of reality to center is a development and sharing of its potentialities." The keyword is Imperturbability. 

6 "The yard of a farmhouse between high mountains is entered by a white gate." Country life is good, or something white in an urban scene. 

Moon in Virgo is void-of-course until entering Libra at 7:21a PT.

° Toward the Supermind ° 

1 "A shovel suspended in mid-air" is the non-implement of one who devotes time and energy to what is impracticable and profitless, "digging in the air and sowing to the wind."

2 But "a man all bundled up in fur leading a shaggy deer" is a trail-blazer exuding unlimited self-reliance. The keyword is Indomitability. 

3 "A gladiator with dagger and shield is ready for the fray" but makes enemies by his irascible disposition. "Self-command is the greatest of all conquests."

4 "A large undershot waterwheel" is suggestive of Sri Aurobindo's major works which appeared first in The Arya, a periodical. He was born with Sol in this degree. The rest of Sepharial's reading is exactly correct: "One who will prove a leading character in some great movement, or the founder of some society or school of philosophy." 

5 "There are illimitable opportunities for the human spirit to dramatize its personal achievement or individual aspiration" as if it were "a bareback rider." The keyword is Audacity. 

6 "A bright, pale blue star shines over a clear lake." This person (as for example Sri Aurobindo) gains distinction by mental powers (even unto the Overmind or Supermind). "The native will shine like a star in his sphere of life, and will have many followers." Voila!

Friday ° Toward the Supermind °

Moon in Virgo is void-of-course all day. This does not cancel out the above reading but hints at how hard it is to manifest even a portion of any Supramental realization.

1 "A hedgehog" shuns the public gaze and is secretive, defensive, harmless. 

2 "A hawk is hovering over a nest of young birds." There could be "danger of injuries in one's own house and through one's own kindred." 

3 "A young maiden weeping over a grave" might seem devoid of family ties and friends. She is sensitive, retiring, melancholic and sympathetic. 

4 "A man suspended over a vast level place" orients his understanding through an exceptional spread of comprehension. The keyword is Contemplation. 

5 If one has the services of "a carrier pigeon" one has "a universal sensitiveness of mind which in a sense commands all-knowledge" through sheer intuition. The keyword is Enlightenment. 

6 "A person carries a long wand with a glass globe on the top charged with aromatics." The aim of his or her life is to serve some of the wants of a suffering humanity. Says Charubel: "A transcendental sun impinges this degree with its rays."

• Penetrating into Accentuated Contemplation • 

1 "In the center of a high mountain plateau one of the ancient magi is performing his matutinal devotions." This sounds like a good way to begin a New Moon day while both luminaries occupy the sign Leo, ruled by the sun.

2 "A human face is surmounted by a coiled serpent; a raised hand also appears." There is keen understanding of the laws of life, with much intuition, discretion, foresight and diplomacy. Through insight into character one has success in commanding others. The keyword is Penetration. 

3 Yet the allurements of the world could be dangerous. "A naked man is falling from a rock into a lake." He is easily led away by sexual temptation after attaining a high position. (Bill Clinton's birth chart contains a planet at this degree.)

4 "Chickens intoxicated" hint at either "unnecessary bondage to externals" or "the individual's capacity for a creative self-mobilization which will enable him to rise to the needs of every possible situation." The keyword is Accentuation. 

5 "A large ball of fire flying through the air" symbolizes one who has an extraordinary mission. He becomes "a ruler among men" or an intellectual or moral giant. 

6 More calmly, on this Solar Eclipse day, "a man is suspended over a vast level place." He is getting "an illimitable overview of his experience in advance of his involvement in its details." The keyword is Contemplation.

• Adaptability toward Advantage, plus Fidelity •

1 Some of us may feel like the fabled Sisyphus who keeps rolling a stone up a hill but never gains the top. Charubel says we should not despair, but study our birth horoscopes. 

2 "A heifer drawing a plow, urged by the goad" is patient and self-governed and will ultimately reap the reward of her labors. 

3 The driver of "a carrier's wagon with the tarpaulin overhead" is active and practical, at a glance taking in what is to his or her advantage. 

4 Some are only happy when they somehow feel themselves a step ahead of themselves in regard to practical allegiances. Their "vessel" displays both a furled and an unfurled "flag." The keyword is Adaptability. 

5 "A crescent moon joined to a shining star" denotes a life of travel and mental brilliancy. Associations with persons of high rank or merit will be one's means of success. The keyword is Distinction.

6 "The normal individual is endowed by custom with an effective assurance centered in his fellows as well as in himself, and has self-fulfillment as he is true to his group tradition." He is like one of "the Zuni sun worshipers." (Both sun and moon today are in Leo, the sun's zodiacal sign.) The keyword is Fidelity.

1 "An empty rostrum" indicates that one might miss one's calling. Become conscious of your valuable abilities. 

2 "A man runs in the face of a strong wind, garments flying in tatters behind him." There could be obstinate pride setting oneself against public opinion.

3 Continuing the warning symbols, "a red triangle" suggests getting ahead of oneself through Impulse; energies running away with reason. The first three symbols reflect the facts of void-of-course plus the karmically sobering third, mentioned below; yet we can recover:

4 "A star surrounded with many rings" is positive. "Thou need never be cast down. Thou will meet with trials, but fear not; 'Thy bread shall be given thee, and thy water is sure.'"

5 Are you one of many "bathing beauties"? "A person becomes himself as he is able to stand radiant and reliant among the total of his fellows." The keyword is Charm. 

6 You are therefore ready for "a houseboat party" where there is "gracious eagerness of participation in worthwhile aspects of human affairs." The keyword is Congeniality.

Saturday 8th:

1 "A man in chains" is a hard symbol for me because for years I have supported the Innocence Project which works hard to liberate those imprisoned on the basis of false accusations. Then today I happened to read about the thousands who are trying to escape from bondage to prescribed antidepressants. The keyword is Binding. There can be estrangement or distress. Let us pray. 

2 "A wild boar" "has a life of his own, a sphere of his own, and pleasures of his own." If considered coarse and impolite, he doesn't care.

3 "A man driving a bull or an ox" prospers by dealing in cattle. What this might mean for urban folk I cannot say. 

4 "The first mockingbird in spring" is attempting a self-revelation which will add stature to his role in everyday living, stimulating others. The keyword is Quickening. 

5 Members of "a nonvested church choir" exercise respect for one another within the broader or community functions of life. The keyword is Communion. 

6 "A man riding a camel with attendants following" travels much and is stubborn and persevering. He is fond of parade and self-advertisement. Throughout his Journeying he is highly successful.

"August and few the sovereign Kings of Thought 

Have made of Space their wide all-seeing gaze 

Surveying the enormous work of Time:

A breadth of all-containing Consciousness 

Supported Being in a still embrace. 

Intercessors with a luminous Unseen,

They capt in the long passage to the world 

The imperatives of the creator Self 

Obeyed by unknowing earth, by conscious heaven;

Their thoughts are partners in its vast control. 

A great all-ruling Consciousness is there 

And Mind unwitting serves a higher Power; 

It is a channel, not the Source of all.

The cosmos is no accident in Time;

There is a meaning in each play of Chance, 

There is a freedom in each face of Fate."

1 Does it seem that some particular involvements in everyday affairs have come to a point of futility? So that you feel like "a man declared bankrupt"? There can be "an effective and over-all resourcefulness in even the worst of situations." The keyword is Deliverance. 

2 There could be a temptation to fight through life like "a man with a drawn sword in an aggressive attitude." Executive readiness is good, but impetuosity could make for trouble or disgrace.

3 "A profile of a clean-shaven man reveals a somewhat expressionless demeanor. He is fond of the the conventional, popular amusements of the age." 

4 If he joins with "a number of ladies in a carriage," he is liberal with presents and bubbling over with benevolence. 

5 "Human pride in common works and co-operative accomplishments" takes form in the high magic of a public display, "a pageant." The keyword is Demonstration. 

6 We arrive at the opposite of paragraphs 1 and 2. "A figure like the angel of the sun, Michael, stands erect and strikes the earth with the point of a dazzling sword." Someone is an imposing figure conscious of his or her own powers, fit to govern. The keyword is Superiority.

1 "A horse grazes near a broken wheel lying upon the ground." Many drift through life in laissez faire style, losing gains through want of direction. 

2 Some seem, symbolically, to have their heads shrouded in black, fond of reclusive midnight studies. There could be chaos, confusion or Obscuration. 

3 More happily, the consciousness of some could be pictured as "a large bubble floating on the water, in which all the colors are blending." Such idealists or occultists admire the sublime, the beautiful and the transcendental. 

4 Grand and noble aspirations could liken some to "a very lofty pine tree" exuding good influences beyond the limits of their neighborhoods. 

5 "The human soul awaiting opportunity for expression" feels itself prepared for "a wholeheartedness of participation in the everyday adventures of personality." The keyword is Ingenuousness. 

6 Said "human soul" could be likened to "a gypsy coming out of the forest." He or she experiences enlarged horizons through willingness to draw on his own potentialities prodigally in generous co-operation with others. The keyword is Expenditure.

3 "A man attired as a cardinal of the church" is energetic and reclusive, imaginative and creative. The keyword is Ecclesiasticism. 

4 "The letter Q" suggests someone querulous, quibbling, cantankerous or quarrelsome; a skeptic who takes nothing on trust. 

5 Combining paragraphs 2-4, we arrive at someone of firm and steadfast character who holds resolutely to his own beliefs and principles. When he determines the right thing to do he will assuredly do it. The keyword is Constancy.

2 Who is "predestined to success in life by reason of inherent merits"? Yourself or someone you know? "A wide-spreading tree is laden with fruit." There is richness and generosity. 

3 Who is catering for the public as manager of a restaurant, bar or inn? "A burly man with an apron before him."

3 Eternal refreshment comes to the individual with every recurrent cycle of his experience, pictured as "early morning dew." Nature sheds benediction on one's efforts. The keyword is Rejuvenation.

5 One who resembles "a large ball of fire flying through the air" has a special, extraordinary mission, becoming a ruler of men and an intellectual or moral giant. 

6 More modestly, "an old-fashioned woman and an up-to-date girl" each dramatize the soul as it plays various roles in human society. Past and future ways of life both compete and co-operate. The keyword is Contrast.

1 Subtlety is the keyword for "a snake coiled around a tree, its head raised." It will not strike if unprovoked. It is cunning and patient, a "researcher" into what could be advantageous. 

2 "A bull tossing a man with its horns" is more dangerous, because though justifiably defensive it tends to being too aggressive. It might represent someone selfish in your life. 

3 I'm not predicting weather, but "men are working in the engine room of a large steamer, almost nude because of the heat." Charubel advises us to adopt a quiet, settled, uniform mode of living without great responsibilities. 

4 This symbol was prominent on the fateful day of 9/11/01: "Two men are fencing with swords. A man in black stands aside watching them." Sepharial warns that some will be "involved in some fracas in a foreign country or with a foreigner, liable to hurts from secret enemies." (What happened then does not have to happen again.)

5 A trend toward karmically sobering events continues with "a labor demonstration" which questions "entrenched lines of property and private rights," dramatizing needed justification of individuals and groups. The keyword is Representation. 

6 A difficult day? Yet there are "rock formations at the edge of a precipice." There have been risks, yet much is protective if grasped (the rock formations). The keyword is Endurance.

Saturday 25th July 

The Current Mercury Cycles 

It's a good moment to pause and survey the current flow of Time on our planet. 

Mercury was retrograde from June 29th through July 23rd. Now we may feel we are climbing the stairs from a basement while brushing away cobwebs. There is gradual liberation from chaos and confusion. 

Yet the longer-lasting Dark or Slow Hermetic Epoch, incorporating the three-week retrograde cycle within it, began June 13th and lasts until August 7th. It might be termed Mercury Retrograde Lite. That planet is still moving very slowly. 

Then from August 7th through October 3rd we'll be in a Bright Hermetic Epoch of about two months. There are some challenging aspects during that period, but planning can be well articulated. (More later.) 

In an unusual planetary situation, the daily chart for Saturday shows five of the six planets employed to be in the same degrees they occupied on Friday. You might reread the Friday report. The new degree-symbol for Saturday is; "An old white-headed man surrounded by happy children." A long life is invested with the comforts of homely affection. There is a kind, benevolent and fatherly interest in those of tender years. The patient man is much beloved. The keyword is Guardianship. 

Moon in Sagittarius goes void-of-course at 7:59a PT until entering Capricorn Sunday at 6:45a PT 

Sunday 26th:

"Jesus took the road by the sea of Galilee and went up to the hills. When he was seated there crowds flocked to him bringing with them the lame, blind dumb and crippled, and many other sufferers; they threw them down at his feet, and he healed them. Great was the amazement of the peopl; and they gave praise to the God of Israel."

--Matthew 15

(See above for moon's position.]

Clarification!

 Clarification! 

Things will get better and less confusing (a) after Mercury turns direct at 4:00p PT and (b) after the moon, entering Sagittarius, shall no longer be void-of-course, starting at 6:08p PT (that's late on Thursday 7/23).  

Till then, meditate and pray and let tentative planning percolate without any hurry. 

After that, go easy still, because a Dark or Slow Hermetic Epoch continues until August 7th. That's something like Mercury Retrograde Lite. Progressive, yet snail-like. 

Voila!

It denotes cruelty and destructive, fatal tendencies; also taciturniity, melancholy and Undoing. As Lightworkers we need to oppose all such trends in those around us and ourselves.

2 Most who read these reports are Lightworkers. So they will not be misled by negative symbols such as "A hawk is seen hovering over a nest of young birds." They will invoke protection through caution, positive affirmation and prayer. 

3 The ridiculous exaggerates human nature instructively. "A clown is making grimaces." The absurd stimulates toward something better. The keyword is Inimitability.

1 Do you feel betrayed? We all do at times. Have you confided in someone on insufficient grounds? Or is it a sweet virtue to look past human weaknesses? Is friendship like swimming or skating? Can G*d be your true friend?

0 It's hard to know what the symbols for the following day could mean when I'm recording them. But three of them for Monday were so accurate they helped me make some good choices during the day. Some readers are also confirming their relevance. Thanks, Inner Orbit.

1 "A broken wheel lies upon the ground while nearby a horse grazes." Laissez-faire drifting? Still, minor good fortune tides one over. 

2 "A cat arguing with a mouse" clearly has the advantage, but litigation should be value-centered. The keyword is Justification. 

3 "The dark side of the moon" represents "a strange character whom no one will ever understand." "A magician, but not of any known type; not insane but Moon-set!" There is a gulf between such an one and ordinary humanity. 

4 Have you been unusually conscious of your food intake recently? "A well-appointed table has the remnants of a feast lying upon it." A worldly appetite could be excessive and reckless. There is richness of heart and camaraderie, but maybe too much Sensuality. 

5 A good, kind, benevolent disposition bubbles through "a gentleman with a number of ladies in a carriage." He is liberal with his presents. 

6 Genuine maturity heightens the appreciation of "a woman pursued by mature romance." Eternal promise underlies all objective existence. The soul capitalizes on its more enduring potentials. The keyword is Persuasion.

• Detached and Indomitable •

1 "A woman seated in an attitude of grief, clothes disordered and hair unkempt, holds faded lilies and roses in her hands." Is she a victim of unrequited love, or did she cause it incautiously?

2 "A Native American woman selling beads" has a soul fundamentally disinterested in everyday superficialities, anchored in an inner reality. Her Detachment is a form of creative aplomb. 

3 "On a jutting rock, tufts of grass hold a thin but certain existence." One can hold steadfastly to beliefs and principles even when that is to one's disadvantage. "It's the right thing to do."

4 "A deep shaft descends into the earth; right overhead is a balloon." There could be scientific study of "graduated densities in the atmosphere found at different altitudes."

5 "A man all bundled up in fur leading a shaggy deer" has a pioneer or trailblazing instinct. His unlimited self-reliance amounts to Indomitability. 

6 Someone whose deeds speak louder than words has grand aspirations. His good influence is felt beyond the limits of his neighborhood. He could be likened to "a very lofty pine tree."

2 "A man suspended over a vast level place" has an illimitable overview of his experience in advance of involvement in its details. Leisure in perspective preserves free choice. The keyword is Contemplation. 

3 Back on earth, "a man in a greenhouse is watering some flowering shrubs." Some individuals study and develop the beautiful in nature or the floral kingdom.

5 "A man and woman are seated at a table whereon viands and wine are lavishly abundant." Sepharial warns that instincts might overtake the moral sense, bringing on self-debasement. However, "the disposition is genial, kind and sociable." The keyword is Self-Indulgence.

Weekend of June 20th & 21st 2026

 Message for Weekend of June 20th and 21st, 2026 

I used the time I would ordinarily spend writing the symbolic forecast-meditation to compose instead a eulogy for my cousin Barbara, who passed from this world last Friday. I hope you may find in it something interesting or inspiring. 

My cousin, Barbara Jo Kappler Beck, 1943-2026

How does one sum up such an interesting human being? I won't try for that, but will relate various reminiscences as they occur to me. 

She was about a year younger than I, and we had a lot of fun together as kids. Our interests sometimes coincided. We played card games together. I enjoyed riding my bike to her family house for get-togethers or picnics. What stands out in these memories is her cheerful sense of humor. She could make fun of people in a subtle way which was neither cutting nor derisive. Maybe "Barb" was an appropriate nickname for her. 

She loved her cat Phoebe and would regale me with tales of her latest adventures, such as the time she got "treed". 

My mother Margaret and her brother Ike Kappler, Barbara's dad, would trade off as hosts for delightfully memorable family picnics attended also by my sister Sue and Barbara's brother Jim. So much joy and laughter. 

After graduating from high school, Barbara and I entered a new phase of togetherness as workers at the Bella Villa Motel purchased and managed by my father Howard. Both my parents were glad to have Barbara on hand as a ready assistant. In these pre-John days, of course Barb kept her eyes open for possible links to unattached males in the clientele. Something started when she dated one of them briefly, but didn't last long. "Just get over it" was Barb's lugubrious advice to herself.

Her bedroom and mine were on the top floor of the motel's living quarters, adjoining an open rooftop where we often sat together and chatted in the setting sunlight, pondering life's deep mysteries. 

Our paths parted when I moved to New York City. So I was not in touch with her when she and John got together, the biggest blessing of her life. Therefore I'm not writing about her later years of married life in Wisconsin. 

I'll mention one thing: Her magnificent service to her dear and my dear Aunt Edna. She had health problems in her later years and was living in Florida. Barbara visited her frequently to assist her. This was deep family loyalty, one of Barbara's wonderful characteristics. As I write in Seattle I can look up to see the wall hanging that Aunt Edna wanted me to have and that Barbara kindly mailed me years ago. 

Likewise, she was loyal to her amazing brother Jim. For example, she wrote a moving eulogy for him when he, one of my best friends ever, departed this world way too soon.

Barbara, we miss you and we love you. I don't know exactly how the next world works, but I hope you and Jim and Aunt Edna and your parents are getting together for a heavenly picnic. 

I haven't mentioned religion, but it goes without saying that you and John have been walking the talk of your faith. He says that in recent weeks you report that you have been talking with Jesus. Amen!

May our precious Lord continue to bless you and confer all good upon you. 

Amen

-- Cousin Hugh

▪︎ 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.

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.

° 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.

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.

° 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.

• Toward Geniality and Gregariousness • 

1 Being lost in a snowstorm could be attending to too many things without sufficient mental illumination. 

2 But the Sun does rise within the lingering night. There is a generous disposition, though one may feel "out of time and place."

3 "A youth throwing coins into a cup as if in play" loses great opportunities through eccentric tastes and amusements, perhaps living a dependent lifestyle of Indifference. 

4 Or, he could emulate "a young woman lying beneath a tree, throwing food to the birds gathering around her." She has a kind heart and a winning, generous disposition. She is happy and makes others so. She loves the beautiful in nature and the fine arts, basking in geniality, concord and fellow-feeling. 

5 Lines of property and private rights have no validity unless they constitute a social stewardship. "A labor demonstration" reminds us that right and justice must prevail. The keyword is Representation. 

6 If the demonstration succeeds, there comes "a maximum of happy give-and-take between any one individual and any other," as in "a barn dance." There is richness of living and Gregariousness.

• Juggling in a Snowstorm toward Harmony • 

1 Every commonplace activity is exalted when life comes to fruition as a community realization. "A woman holding a bag out of a window" is Facilitating her own and others' daily routines. 

2 By contrast, "a labor demonstration" is resorted to when some property and private rights seem without validity. There can be courage in attacking major problems at the cost of minor inconvenience. The keyword is Representation. 

3 "A traveler struggles onward in the midst of a snowstorm. The brave man appears to be lost in the darkness." Yet Charubel hints, "the sun that sets on one clime rises on another."

4 "A youth throwing coins into a cup as if in play" is eccentric, losing opportunities by peculiar tastes, amusing himself after his own manner while reckless of how others are working. The keyword is Indifference. 

5 Or maybe he could become, rather, "a man standing before an audience with all the paraphernalia of a juggler." "He has all-round accomplishments, never at a loss through lack of resources, capable of turning his hand or his wits to anything." -- Charubel 

6 The smoothest symbol is the last: "A beautiful scene of the country wherein all the elements conspire to enchant the eye and hold the spirit in a mood of silent adoration." This connotes a kind, attractive, gentle, thoughtful, devotional nature. There can be sustained sympathies, pure instincts, an elevated mind, and love of the open country. The keyword is Harmony. 

7 You might choose two of these symbols as Challenging and two as Comforting, and see how they play out by the end of the day.
