• Geniality and Guidance • 1 We start with crudity and cruelty, "a man beating an ass with a stick." This could be some flare-up of anger in yourself or someone else. 2 Immediately we transit to the exact opposite, "a young woman lying beneath a tree, throwing food to birds which gather around her." Many are awakening to kindly feelings toward animals. Some happy individuals make others happy. Keywords are Geniality and Fellow-Feeling. 3 "A pair of shears" indicate dexterity at any handicraft. 4 "A double promise" is a gift for seeing the world and self both inwardly and outwardly. The keyword is Sensibility. 5 "In a field of rich grass stands a tree encircled by a swarm of bees." Diligence leads to successful acquisition of money and friends. Keywords are industry, thrift and utility. 6 "White dove over troubled waters" is a good omen, providing "a wholly practical protection, to the precise extent it is accepted," according to Dr. Jones. The keyword is Guidance. Monday • Geniality and Guidance • Moon in Piscis

Saturday 9th:

• Toward Munificence • 1 If craftily designing mischief, "a crow or raven standing upon a water-pot" could, through envy, bring injury upon himself. 2 Some are like a recluse loving solitude, a student of the mystical possessing hidden knowledge. "A dark and somber curtain covers the mouth of a cavern in a rock." 3 "Two men, well clad, stand together, one holding a white horse by the bridle." There is aptitude in spiritual things, a tendency to believe in dreams and visions and pursue strange studies. There is friendship with notable persons. Some influences could be harmful. 4 A flag is on a flagstaff at the top of a high mountain. Some rise from a low degree to eminence. 5 One can control events at any point of transition or crisis, with divine aplomb holding to its course through superficial excitement. "Wind clouds and haste" bear the keyword Exaltation. 6 Varying and recurrent opportunities open up. There could be unusual good fortune and richer rewards, with "an open window and a net curtain blowing into a cornucopia." The keyword is Munificence. • Toward Munificence • Moon in Aquarius goes void-of-course at 10:10p PT Sunday 10th: "The only intelligence or substance of a thought, a seed, or a flower is God, the creator of it. Mind is the Soul of all. Mind is Life, Truth, and Love which governs all."

• Semi-Secret Potentials • 1 Shall "a flying arrow" hit its mark? Not necessarily, but some will cut out their own line in life and attract attention. 2 Others are laborious, unambitious, useful members of society, ever content with their present lot. "A farmyard implement has four prongs." 3 "A woman in pastel colors carries a heavy and valuable but veiled load." She is perhaps actually or symbolically pregnant. Very special women are bringing in a fuller age of spiritual living. The keyword is Reticence. 4 By contrast, "a woman lightly clad is lying in a field of violet colored flowers." Is she weak and indolent, or just enjoying a pleasant time with nature? 5 "Experience may shape its own ground in full conformity with its desires" like "a newly formed continent." There is revolutionary potentiality. The keyword is Originality. 6 A great genius whose home is in the western hemisphere is emblemized by "a large star half as large as the moon but more brilliant." The rest of the sky is dark. Will such a genius be able to share his or her light with the masses?

• Toward Commonplace Optimism •

1 Are some people born, or conditioned to be, low, savage and cruel? "A man beats an ass with a stick." I despise all cruelty to animals.

2 If "two bulls are seen fighting together" they resemble petulant and warlike human beings, of whom we have too many. Making enemies is too easy.

3 Impractical and vain pursuits result in something like "a broken pitcher lying on the ground with spilled fruit around it." We each develop our own cures for carelessness.

4 "A woman holding a bag out of a window" is not dropping it but "exalting commonplace activity, each member of the community seeking to encourage the others in their daily routine." The keyword is Facilitation.

5 "A water-wheel attached to a corn mill" signifies a flexible mind capable of much ingenuity and accomplishment.

6 If we rise above paragraphs 1-3, we approach "the gate to the garden of desire." Naive optimism opens up one or another opportunity. Dreams are enhanced, frontiers crossed. The keyword is Prospect.

• Toward Faith and Peace • 1 "Swimming in the river against the current" is not our fate but is pointed out as a possibility if we strain after things Nature has not designed for us. 2 Laboring much to little profit is symbolized by "a man sitting upon his heels and breaking stones with a hammer." But if he can do that, he could also do something more fruitful. 3 "A battle between the swords and the torches" could be between necessity and desire, or between enlightenment and might. The keyword is Resolution. 4 "A pugilist entering the ring" is Exerting himself in a concentrated attempt at self-establishment. He is using the ideals of paragraph 3 to overcome the mistakes of paragraphs 1 and 2. 5 "A small cottage at the base of a very high mountain" is inhabited by "a truly good person who has implicit faith in the Most High." 6 "Two swords form a cross on the ground. A man stands on them with a scepter pointing heavenward." He is a person of peace; one who confides in the higher power.

Message for Tuesday 5 May 2026 • Pertinacity • "A false sense of security" is based on material things, luck, and chance. True Security comes when we are determined to follow the behests of the Highest. "A woman holding a bundle of sticks, her hair disordered by the wind, wanders in search of something." Vexation and confusion overcome anyone attempting too much. Patience would help. A strange double-triangled figure represents one who is a stranger to the public, unpopular, and lacking in decisive thinking. There is a need to be "up and at the business of life" like "a pugilist entering the ring." One plays to an audience. The keyword is Exertion. "A man stands upright within a large elliptical figure on the ground." He admires the opposite sex and loves passionately the beautiful in nature and art. "An old man attempting vainly to reveal the Mysteries" may blame those who "just don't get it," whereas it could be better for him to continue with an unshakable determination to dramatize the uncompromising integrity of higher vision. The keyword is Pertinacity. Tuesday • Pertinacity • Moon in Sagittarius is void-of-course until entering Capricorn at 12:07p PT.

Saturday 2nd: •Unusual Day of Rumination • Some things may be delayed in painful ways, as if "an anchor is unattached to any vessel's chain," or a cable is broken. But Christ Jesus and His Father are firm anchors if affirmed and held to in faith. Though today is a Sabbath for many, still some unusual labor may be needed or advisable. But since the moon is void-of-course all day the effort should be directed to previously settled agendas. "A man is handling baggage." All functions in society are of equal value in fulfilling a person's need to be useful. His Industry is an effective virility of interest in normal living. "A dog carrying a bone is chased by another." Oh, is that the meaning of Chase Bank? There could be envy and selfishness. Rather, we should pursue things near at hand and attainable. Sensuousness and satisfaction of appetites is one trend in "a group of vagrants or gypsies seated around a cauldron in which food is preparing." They wander over the world, never satisfied with things as they are, leaving golden opportunities behind. Or, less dramatically, you may enjoy a catered meal or festive occasion. "An empty hammock" suggests "maximum potential for inner reorientation and outer readjustment" resulting in poise and balance. The keyword is Rumination. Saturday • Unusual Day of Rumination • Moon in Scorpio goes void-of-course at 1:49a PT until entering Sagittarius at 11:35p PT. Sunday 3rd: "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

Or, give the poor ox a break rather than calling him out for "an idle and self-indulgent nature." More active is "a flexible mind capable of mathematics and Ingenuity" likened to "a large waterwheel attached to a corn mill." Someone Enlisted as "a Red Cross nurse" has "a steadiness of concern for the more extreme needs of others," losing all sense of separateness while becoming a dedicated phase of all-self. At some point our minds could be passive, calm and thoughtful, with graceful manners and elegant bodies; full of contentment and quiet happiness. "In a peaceful valley a swan is floating on a lake. At the back rises a high mountain." The Bella Villa Motel is situated on the northeast side of a green field surrounded by shrubberies. Its manager possesses an adequacy to keep him, and is content.

• Good Judgment and Ministration • "A very dark sky" suggests a very gloomy day. What nation is "a baneful comet with a long tail," an instrument of evil powers? Iran thinks it's Israeli; Israel thinks it's Iran. Russia thinks it's Ukraine; Ukraine thinks it's Russia. Some persons "may become the scourge of nations." Let's pray for beneficent intervention by the Supreme. We might also seek the wisdom of "a woman holding a book in one hand and a pair of scales in the other." Sound wisdom and dispassionate Judgment are hers, plus fame, riches and longevity. (Where is she?) "An Indian weaving a blanket" exemplifies quiet persistence and Diligence meeting human needs. What are you "weaving"? "A portly man walks among pigeons flocking on the ground at his feet." Many are interested chiefly in their homes and the care of their children. They inspire confidence and faith in others; their footsteps are followed in security and peace. The keyword is Ministration. "A Christmas tree decorated" tells its own stories through the gifts scattered around it. Possessions are enhanced as they are exhibited. Enjoyment becomes increasingly vicarious and spiritual. The keyword is Symbolization. Moon is void-of-course until entering Libra at 2:04a PT. Karmically sobering third of this week is intense today and tonight, ending by Thursday mid-morning.

• Through Diligence toward Peace • You or some associates may be subject to Lassitude. "An old man, poorly clad, stands by the side of a river, from which he collects bits of wood and straw with a rake." He tries to gain comforts by easy but unfruitful ways. "A sleigh without snow" may not require it, because "nature is ever prodigal in her means for supporting reality." The keyword is Sustainment. Death, if not desired, may be averted through righteous Faith. Between two men in a wood lies a rich purple and gold venture and a casket of jewels. They fight a duel over it. One meets opposition in one's efforts for wealth and position. Maybe "an Indian weaving a blanket" is more likely to attain his goals through Diligence, "the quiet persistence of each proper act of self in the interest of its own genius." How we need this final emblem! "Two swords (from the previous duel?) form a cross lying on the ground. A man stands on them with a scepter pointing heavenward." "A person of peace; one who confides in the higher power," says Charubel. Voila! Monday • Through Diligence toward Peace • Moon in Virgo goes void-of-course at 4:13a PT. Karmically sobering third of this week is with us beginning in afternoon and continuing till early Thursday. This, combined with void-of-course, could be disturbing or delaying.

This person has a contented, happy disposition. But some know that all is not work. They have an indomitable desire for freedom. "A flock of wild geese" seem naively independent, yet follow the undeviating course characteristic of migratory fowl while seeming capricious. The keyword is Insouciance.

• From Loneliness to Luxury • There are warnings against anger, which would come back to afflict oneself. A lonely phase, however, is natural and harmless. "A ram standing alone looks toward a flock of sheep in the distance." "Sympathies toward the opposite sex are wanting" says Charubel. Aries, containing four planets now, can be a bachelor sign sometimes. "A rising Sun" represents "a Solar man, destined to rule or command." This too is an Aries propensity. Is "the president of the country" vainly and destructively assertive, or does he make the self-sacrifice required of anybody who would be the creative representative of eternal value? The keyword is Idealization. "A dark man, richly apparreled, surrounded by servants and courtiers, reclines on a couch." He has wealth, influence, and artistic tastes, plus a love of ease. The keyword is Luxury. Others seek the promise of a covenant with the universal matrix of life itself, that is, "The rainbow's pot of gold." The keyword is Faith.

• Through Isolation to Happiness •

Many feel mentally isolated, not in sympathy with the present state of things. Some are looking through the wrong end of their perceptual telescope, feeling that no one is as great as themselves.

The catharsis of nature comes in "an electrical storm." The universal forces spell out Transformation. Most will recover fully. Some may feel almost suicidally that their hopes are gone

A man climbing a pole has ambitions in the clouds which may be mere Vagaries. But "A man teaching new forms for old symbols" is onto something real. The keyword is Interpretation. Some may be actual Seers possessing a globe reflecting the whole panorama of the earth.

Saturday 18th: • Above the Earth? • We start with the "cheerless" symbols of the day, such as "the earth covered with a deep snow" suggesting an uneventful life lacking the native energy required for success. Then there is "a bed of a dried-up river wherein crows are feeding." One may have given much to unthankful people who offer nothing in return. Still, we remain in the month of Aries and "two men are engaged in a fight." Many are pugnacious. It would be better to put that energy into simple, persistent, honest effort, like "a man of humble appearance but much strength felling a tree with an axe." Springtide is described thus: "I see green everywhere, and everything is on the move." Many changes seem to head nowhere; yet someone is wearing "a large hat with streamers flying, facing east." Naive creativity accompanies Excitation, the keyword. "I seem to be above the earth. I see a man, yet one greater than a man! His mission is a WORLD mission." Who is your candidate or candidates? Higher yet, "A celestial choir is singing." There can be "a gift for the effective articulation or manifestation of those eternal realities through which all people find themselves at one." This is a cure for the first two paragraphs. The keyword is Veneration. Saturday • Above the Earth? • Moon in Taurus Sunday 19th: "Above the world the world-creators stand, In the phenomenon see its mystic source. Above the illusion of the hopes that pass, Behind the appearance and the overt act, Behind this clock-work Chance and vague surmise, Amid the wrestle of force, the trampling feet, Across the cries of anguish and of joy, Across the triumph, fighting and despair, They watch the Bliss for which earth's heart has cried Winding undetected through the scepic days And to meet it guide the unheedful moving world. Then the masked Transcendent mount his throne. A few shall see what none yet understands: God shall grow up while the wise men talk and sleep; For man shall not know the coming till its hour And belief shall be not till the work is done."

° Favor within one's own Groove ° (I hope it helps you to know about the Karmically Sobering third of each week, which I report here faithfully. On Wednesday it was exact in late afternoon and early evening, and where I live there was an enormous thunderstorm with lightning and then hailstones! There was also a failure of the heating system in my building for a few hours; Saturn is the planet of coldness. Things are calmer on Thursday, and by Friday the Difficult Third will be gone. Still, there are other issues . . .) Friday: We may have to pass through a dark, sad, gloomy phase during which everything seems pointless. "A king sits on a throne; behind him stands a figure veiled in black." The keyword, Collapse, suggests a fall if one undertakes feats beyond one's natural powers, especially if they are morally questionable. "A large disappointed audience" suggests that one cannot always expect applause from the momentary mood of the masses. The keyword is Disjunction. One can be spiritually independent, and large-hearted, with great soul-force, rather than dependent on mental scheming. Nobody can put anything over on you. You might enter "A forest of big oaks, with plenty of scope for wandering," loving a rural life filled with firm purpose and singleness of aim. You prosper when allowed to go in your own groove. You might also benefit from "a farmyard with a lot of cows," or maybe from dairy products. "A man successfully expressing himself in two realms at once" experiences many interpenetrating realms of reality, with unlimited versatility. The keyword is Proficiency. "A fair woman, richly attired, standing alone" receives great attention and many friends because of her goodness of heart and generosity. The keyword is Favor.

"A crow or raven standing on a waterpot" may be up to mischief because of envy, but would suffer as a result. Instead, one could use mental curiosity to make a Discovery, causing a new idea to dawn on the world.

His home is in the Western Hemisphere." One embodies material and the other celestial glory. "A woman, lightly clad, is lying in a field of violet flowers."
