▪︎ Cleavage Immediacy Speculation Pilgrimage ▪︎ Cleavage. Mercury turns retrograde at 1:48a ET (until March 20). Things may seem regressive, backward or tentative. For today, "a lunar crescent and a flash of lightning emerge from a cloud." This suggests strong directive force, possibly going amiss through bad judgment. Immediacy. "A tree felled and sawed" suggests joy in energy expended, and satisfaction in the efficient use of skills and materials. But under the aegis of a Mars-Uranus square there could be "unnecessary surrender to hard or unrewarding effort." Speculation. One should watch out for the hazards of life, blundered into through carelessness despite lofty aims. "A warrior draws a long bow to which the fletch is duly set." There could be prophetic insight, or else overeagerness because Mercury is retrograde. Pilgrimage. "An old man with a pack on his back and a long staff is walking down a hill." There is quiet resignation and Indifference of spirit, combined with singular character and remarkable powers. Patience befits a pilgrim. Thursday ▪︎ Cleavage Immediacy Speculation Pilgrimage ▪︎ Moon enters Cancer at 0:12a ET Cosmic Piper

° Expedients Explosion Wandering Tradition ° Expedients. "The moon" indicates someone cantankerous, a practical business person allied with the world's ways, never short of expedients. Explosion. Still we have the unease of "a column of smoke and burst of flame." Iran, Gaza, Ukraine? "Exercise caution in every undertaking." Wandering. "A helical scroll" indicates an undecided, fickle nature lost in a multitude of projects and imaginings. This circuitous, chaotic mind would benefit from healthy, virile, directive companionship. Tradition. What would also help would be "the surviving tokens of an enduring stability on which the ephemeral and superficial are unable to make any impact," likened to "an ancient pottery bowl filled with violets." The self may anchor itself in an overall continuance of meaning and identity. Wednesday ° Expedients Explosion Wandering Tradition ° Moon in Gemini goes void-of-course at 3:01p PT until entering Cancer at 9:12p PT. Karmically sobering third of this week begins today, at its most intense Thursday, ending by Friday evening. Cosmic Piper

Message for Tuesday 24 February 2026 • Explosion Wounding Efficiency Transcendence • Explosion. Mercury shall turn retrograde Thursday and has already been in its Dark Hermetic Epoch since February 11th. Plus, Mars is exactly square Uranus giving force to the symbol of the degree where Mercury is stuck, "a column of smoke ascending on a gigantic scale followed by a terrible burst of flame." We saw how that worked out yesterday in Mexico. Today? Let's pray. A State of the Union address is planned. Odd disturbing events are unplanned, vis a vis Iran, Epstein files, the blizzard, flight cancelations, and interpersonal tensions. Let's be patient with one another. Wounding. "Two daggers are crossed." Sounds like Mars square Uranus. If not military battles or preparations, it can be contention and litigation (which almost seem normal in the Trump era). There can be "a paucity of friends and a radical want of harmony." Some Democrats are planning to boycott the State of the Union address. Efficiency. Impersonal analysis could supplant or ameliorate fury. The symbol is "a hydrometer." Well, meteorologists are going to be doing a lot of measuring of temperature, snowfall and blizzard casualties. There could be "exceptional ability in manipulating the fundamental complexities of living." Transcendence. "Dense fog hangs over an extensive plain, but there is sunshine above." Frustrations and confusions in worldly matters are not too terrible because one has attained to "great heights in matters spiritual and transcendental."

• Explosion Collapse Discipline Uniqueness • Explosion. Iran? Ukraine-Russia? Other trouble spots? "A column of smoke ascends on a gigantic scale, followed by a terrible burst of flame." Charubel says, "This degree is subtle; its events are sudden, always falling out unexpectedly, and generally disastrously." But he hastens to add: "THIS IS NOT FATE." Collapse. We already know that 41 million Americans will be afflicted by rare blizzard conditions, with schools closed in New York and Boston. "A man falls between the parting timbers of a broken bridge." Sepharial warns against "hazards both commercial and physical." "Let him keep to the broad highway of life and not take an isolated path. He who aspires to rulership is a misanthrope; the humble man has safety with the people." Preciseness. With Luna conjoining Uranus while squaring Mars, maybe a semi-military stance is needed. "Officers are on dress parade" though not necessarily in battle mode. Ritual, dignity and protocol rehearse group values through schooled self-assurance. (A possible cure for the first two paragraphs.) Uniqueness. There is always an odd one in any group, such as "a butterfly with the right wing more perfectly formed." Abnormalities do not have to be handicaps if the self mobilizes its powers to take full advantage of significant differences.

 Messages for Weekend of February 21st and 22nd

Saturday 21: Directness. Many feel they have a path in life already marked out, and are swift to follow it. Headstrong, they pursue usually inaccessible locations without vacillation. "An arrow is in flight, passing through a cloud of smoke." Defense. Symbolically there is "a trilithon consisting of two pillars of stone with a horizontal thwart; within it a strong iron gate." Security arises from prudence, intelligence and stability of character. Some "prove to be a refuge for the weak and a protection to all who stand in need of a friend." Plenty. "A man sits at a table with a knife putting finishing touches on food which lies before him." This is good living or good fortune. Serenity. "A man is turning his back on his passions and teaching from his experience." Says Dr. Jones: "The self assimilates itself to its own higher vision and so achieves an outer selflessness." Moon in Aries goes void-of-course at 3:13a PT until entering Taurus at 3:32p PT. Sunday 22: Protecting. There is attachment and devotion to kindred or one's extended family circle, combined with energy and patience. "A tiger is standing guard over its young litter." Plenty. A person sitting at a table preparing some food is fortunate in things of the world, harmless, and fond of good living. Serenity. "A man turning his back on his passions and teaching from his experience" accomplishes much through a genuine peace of inner understanding. Benefit. At "a church bazaar" one capitalizes on enduring human allegiances, communing with all through warmth of personality and revivifying contacts. It's not gambling but game-like sharing.

° Forefathers Labor Aptitude Conviviality ° Forefathers. Divine instincts may be filtered through faith in conservative religious truths. "A man walks in darkness with an old-fashioned lantern in his hand." Labor. In rustic simplicity some work in orchards or woods, maybe building a house or founding a colony, endowed with good will and an earnest soul. "A man stripped to the waist is hewing timber." Aptitude. Meher Baba had a large, loving presence and spoke with flourishing hand signals, so often looked like "a big bear sitting down and waving all its paws" which was the symbol for Venus's position in his birth chart and Mars's position today. There is "a willingness to dramatize the self's potentials to any necessary extent." Conviviality. There is "a taste for high living" plus a generous, hospitable disposition. Sometimes considered coarse and self-indulgent, one is actually bountiful and humane. This paragraph and the first may need to be reconciled. "A feast is prepared upon platters."

° Indifference Curtailment Refinement Angel ° Indifference. With the karmically sobering third of this week upon us, plus the Dark or Slow Hermetic Epoch, we might feel inoffensive, dilatory, careless and haphazard, allowing things to drift like "a chest floating on the open sea." Curtailment. We also might look back on our lives and regret some choices which ended our ambitions before our goals could be reached. Yet we could remain contented with the endeavors and plans left to us. Refinement. Comfort and everyday convenience are symbolized by "a rug placed on a floor for children to play." Adults as well as young ones concentrate on playful efforts toward self-development. Angel. Younghoon Kim has an extraordinary IQ and proclaims to the world that he has found Jesus and the Bible to be the true, correct path. He is "a preacher or lecturer publishing some important message" like "An angel blowing a trumpet." What angel is getting your attention?

♧ Documents Clearance Recovery Liberty ♧ Documents. I leave the interpretation of "a hand holding a roll of paper or parchment" to you. Copies of legal or other public documents, perhaps. Clearance. "A woman disappointed and disillusioned" can nevertheless "press on and gain increased powers with every setback." A seeming denial of opportunity is really a challenge to genuine self-realization. Recovery. "A man's chamber is dark and gloomy; yet the horizon looks bright." From heavy affliction we rise to health and other comforts. Liberty. "A wild horse is leaping a barrier." This connotes a person who is free and open in expressing thoughts and feelings; adventurous and contemptuous of peril. Hey! Yesterday's New Moon marked the beginning of a Fire Horse year in Chinese astrology! The Horse is said to be popular, a hard worker, and brimming over with personality.

• Clearance Strategist Testing Wealth • Clearance. "A woman disappointed and disillusioned" is distressed because relying on elements without anchorage in her own nature. She could instead realize that she has an inherent gift for pressing on and gaining increased powers with every setback. Strategist. A military officer is mounted on the top of a hill as if on the lookout. He is competent to organize a multitude, whether a temporal or spiritual host. Testing. Chemical instruments symbolize an analytical and acute mind, resolving perceptions into their principles, questing for the secrets of nature while devoted to the Spirit of Nature religiously. Wealth. A man reclines on a rustic seat beneath a shady tree; a ray of sunshine has fallen on him. He has no trouble; wealth flows to him.

° Quarreling Pilgrimage Conviction Emanation ° Quarreling. A repellent disposition quarrels unnecessarily. That is apart from any necessary progressive litigation which might get headlines. Pilgrimage. "An old man with a pack on his back and a staff is walking down a hill." He has followed an adventurous fortune and livelihood, precariously, but with quiet resignation and detachment of spirit. He has a singular character and remarkable powers. Conviction. "A big white dove, a message bearer" signifies a transcendental or superior wisdom from which we may always receive inspiration and assurance. Personal desires are ordered within a cosmic framework. Emanation. A butterfly is emerging from its chrysalis. Man feels that nature springs from her overall potential as spontaneously as his own ideas come forth from the formless matrix of his inner being. There is faith in the promise of existence and the wonders of a continuing creation.

Saturday 14th: Salvage. "A wreck is floating on a peaceful sea." One should not attempt the high seas of fortune, but keep to the broad highways of life and pursue the common path, thereby retrieving the family fortunes. Analysis. Do we need to make a public accounting of ourselves? Or would that be giving up to the intrusion of the "surveillance state"? "A man is unmasked." There are greater or more wonderful reasons for being. Ripeness. "A field of ripe corn is ready for the sickle." Health of body, peace of mind, a happy disposition, and prosperity in mundane transactions could be our lot. Possession. Some have the uninterrupted joys of continuous living on a prosperous estate. "A stately mansion is surrounded by trees in an expanse of pastureland." A pleasant and frank nature attracts friends and entertains them within wide sympathies. Moon in Capricorn goes void-of-course at 5:33p PT until entering Aquarius at 10:18p PT / Sunday 15th: Sword. U.S.-Iran? Ukraine-Russia? "A hand with a sword in it is enveloped by a halo of golden light. It is not for indiscriminate slaughter but to defend the right." The right, IMO, is the Iranian population brutally persecuted by their "own" government. "The inhabitants of this red planet will not see thee as thou art seen by thy compeers." Crown Prince Pahlavi? Immediacy. "A tree felled and sawed" is serving man's desire to mobilize everything around him in his own interest. Concern. "A forest fire quenched" could have been misfortune to be suffered but became a successful adventure in broad social responsibility. What cause do you see as deserving your self-expenditure? Illumination. "In a niche are set a lamp and a book or missal." Secrets of nature are revealed to long and patient study. Devotion sustains patient vigils. One pursues religion, philosophy, or the fine arts. Moon in Aquarius (since 1:18a ET) ○ Weekend of February 14th and 15th 2026 ○ Cosmic Piper

Message for Friday 13 February 2026 ° Downfall Probity Spiral Accord ° Downfall. There could be chaos and confusion, like walking in the dark. One should beware of pitfalls on unfamiliar paths. By the directing hand of a wise friend or the overarching love of Heaven one can escape danger. Probity. This seldom-used word has nothing to do with "probing." It means integrity, uprightness, honesty. "A watchdog is standing guard" to protect us from mistakes and keep us faithful to ideals. Spiral. Some lives seem to resemble revolving wheels, now darkened, now lightened, full of contradictions. But at the moment one wants to give up in despair, one climbs onto a circle of upward-revolving light, a spiral path "shining brighter and brighter unto the perfect day." Accord. The difficult third of this week ends Friday afternoon. "Three men are advancing arm in arm." There arises friendship and social intercourse. There could be too much fondness for pleasure, but there is happily received instruction or oversight. Teachers teaching one another are amicable and esteemed. Friday ° Downfall Probity Spiral Accord ° Moon in Capricorn Karmically sobering third of this week ends in late afternoon Cosmic Piper

Message for Wednesday 11 February 2026 ♤ Turning Point ♤ Lent begins Wednesday February 18th, and a new Chinese Year of the Horse begins at the Aquarian New Moon of Tuesday the 17th. Overriding these is a new Dark or Slow Hermetic Epoch beginning today, February 11th, in the afternoon; continuing until April 8th. This is not bad but calls on us to take it easy and not be impatient when things seem to drift or backslide. Always there is recovery. News which seems depressing can be preparation for something better. Symbols for Wednesday: Virulence. (Poisonous or malignant.) Charubel warns: "Do not follow the dictates of passion nor yield to the desires of thy lower nature, or a short and wretched life could be thy lot. But if by firm resolve thou overcome those elemental promptings, thou wilt pass through the crisis and ensure a long, useful, happy and prosperous life." Enemies. The second symbol is a warning that one could be unmindful of danger, "beset by secret enemies of the worst type." This of course is more likely to play out on the world stage than in the individual lives of those reading this, but it is wise to avoid asking for trouble (as in, for example, protest demonstrations). Indifference. Some sacrifice much for comfort and peace of mind--placid, calm, and inoffensive, they resemble "a chest floating on the open sea." Not weak, they seem so because allowing things to drift. Accomplishment. Others, like "a big-business man at his desk," use organizational powers to maintain position or advantage--if they escape the perils of previous paragraphs, on this ♤ Turning Point ♤ (Wednesday) Moon in Sagittarius Karmically sobering third of this week is with us, most intense Thursday, gone by late Friday afternoon.

♡ Fog Rivalry Union Affirmation ♡ Fog. Yet there is sunshine above the dense mist below. Frustration and confusion with worldly matters (below) is ameliorated by spiritual and transcendental realization (above). Rivalry. Who gets control of the boat when two would-be captains are on one side and one on the other? Union. A man and woman stand face to face, their hands clasped. There is harmony, fidelity, devotion and self-control. There is a ruling of others through persuasion plus adaptability. In business, unusual combinations or partnerships are effectual. Affirmation.

One is good at hitting targets, whether in military affairs or business. Appropriate rivalism wins out through powers of concentration. Authority. Some "rise to distinction, and offices of great power and influence." "A scepter is surrounded by a crown." Affections are sincere and constant, though the focus is upright government and rulership. Refinement. Comfort and everyday convenience are satisfying, childlike, and facilitative. "A rug is placed on a floor for children to play."
