• Through Distress toward the Circus • "A baneful comet" is "the scourge of nations, a notorious character in the hands of evil powers." This need not be taken literally, yet it is noteworthy that both Sri Aurobindo and Jesus warned against evil entities and influences. Both also pointed out ways of escape through prayer and submission to Deity. Gloom, darkness and distress can be overcome through silent aspiration, prayer and faith. There are also deleterious habits fallen into through weakness. ""A man stands with a tankard in his hand, ready to drink. Two others stand apart, talking together with averted faces." On the other hand, some are like officers on the lookout on the top of a hill, competent strategists either temporally or spiritually. As a corrective for issues of the first paragraph, we have "a triangle with wings" and the keyword Zeal. "A person climbs a rock in a fierce storm. Flashes of lightning reveal a strong figure climbing well." He or she, amid perilous adventures, passes through uncertainty and peril to final success. His or her reward is "a halo of supernal glory bestowed by a fixed star, a transcendental Sun." Brilliant gifts are not understood or appreciated by the present-day world, but their influence will extend to future generations. Meanwhile in "a gigantic tent" we see our experience both steadily and whole, dramatized by the circus, organizing divergent capabilities in a common cause. The keyword is Apportionment. Tuesday • Through Distress toward the Circus • Moon in Gemini goes void-of-course at 3:38p PT. Karmically sobering third of this week is with us until Thursday afternoon.

• Something to Celebrate? • From February 11th until April 9th we are in a Dark or Slow Hermetic Epoch, not terrible but confusing, as evidenced by the lugubrious going-nowhere wars. "A man of tottering and uncertain gait carries water which he spills on the ground." Judgment can be wavering and faulty. For the 7th straight day we have had a warning against passionate or lustful desires which, if submitted to, are bad for health and longevity. In the woods abound wild plants of different kinds and colors. There is brusque, uncultivated natural wisdom in those of a rugged, rustic temperament. Meanwhile on the spiritual plane someone "plowing with two horses" is preparing the earth for a higher psychic manifestation (as a forerunner). "A ballroom with music, dancing and singing on the program" sounds like fun, whether one participates, enjoys, or both. Some, vain as a peacock, cover themselves with gorgeous decorations and ornaments, admiring themselves and their good fortune. "Two lovers strolling through a secluded walk" are Enjoying their private intimacy. Or on a more public level they could participate in "an Easter promenade." The keyword is Celebration.

Saturday 21st: "A man sitting in a dark room with books and papers around him" has a good mind but a peculiar temperament which denies gain from his studies. There remains danger to health and well-being through perverse or lustful passions, which should be overcome. Two swords crossing each other denote a repellent disposition and quarreling, which could bring about disaster or serious injury. Charubel recommends fortifying the soul and praying to God for help and guidance. Not all foreign travel is connected with warfare. An Inquisitive person equipped for a rough journey follows new roads of knowledge and research. He or someone allied with him is confident in his powers and opinions, and fond of colorful, jeweled Display. "A comedian entertaining a group" holds up a mirror to life. There is power of personality through full, uninhibited self-expression and role-playing. The keyword is Release. "The flow of inspiration" can have multiple sources and directions. The keyword is Ingenuity. Moon in Taurus beginning at 2:36a ET Sunday 22nd: On the final two pages of Sri Aurobindo's epic poem, Savitri, a priest or sage asks her: "O woman soul, what light, what power revealed, Working the rapid marvels of this day, Opens for us by thee a happier age?" Modestly she replies: "Awakened to the meaning of my heart That to feel love and oneness is to live And this the magic of our golden change, Is all truth I know or seek, O sage." --pp. 723-724 Moon in Taurus goes void-of-course at 10:41p PT Cosmic PiperThursday, March 19, 2026

Message for Friday 20 March 2026 • Springtide Realization • The sun enters Aries at 7:47a PT, the Vernal Equinox or first day of Spring. "A man is plowing in the midst of a boundless plain" with individuality and Originality. Meanwhile Charubel continues to advise against lustful, Virulent passions, bad for health and longevity. Everyone is weary of war, yet still "An officer is preparing to drill his men." The keyword is Preciseness. We have to "make the best of situations from which there is no immediate extrication." "A Hercules dressed in coarse material bears a club" with force of character, Strength and Passion. "A battlefield on which contending armies are in deadly Conflict" is all too evident on more than one front these days. Yet Charubel says "that sword is not for indiscriminate slaughter. It is to defend the right. There is a Mission to be executed." Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys? The Sabian symbol for the first day of Spring is "A woman rises out of water, a seal rises and embraces her." The keyword is Realization. That seems to leave military fracases behind us, and Sepharial concurs, with "A man and woman standing hand in hand, looking with affection toward each other." There could be an arrival at Amity, peace and concord. Friday • Springtide Realization • Moon in Aries goes void-of-course at 2:24a PT until entering Taurus at 11:36p PT. Therefore this is not a good day for new plans, even though Mercury turns direct at 12:35p PT. Finish what's already on the agenda. Cosmic Piper

° Shaped toward Earthy Mastery ° "Two men strive to hold a mad bull with ropes about his head." This could refer to more than one political madness. Meanwhile Charubel continues to advise us against lustful temptations which vitiate the life-force and reduce longevity. Egoity lacks flexibility and deference, though with much intelligence could grant an uncouth mastery. The keyword of The Great Stone Face is Discernment. "Each individual selects the image within himself to which he would shape himself outwardly." A traveler or navigator captains "a merchant ship" with outstanding success. "A lady fashionably dressed" is endowed with the creative content of everyday custom. The keyword is Tastefulness. "A woman holds scales with a cup of red wine on one side and golden coins on the other." There is luxury and pleasure, speculation and wealth, along with wasteful extravagance. The keyword is Earthiness. Fortunately, "a field of ripe corn is ready for the sickle" so we might experience "health of body, peace of mind, a most happy disposition, and prosperity in all mundane transactions."

Saturday 14th: Good motives do not ensure immediate results. "Many reapers are in a large field of wheat, but few sheaves." On another day the harvest shall come; meanwhile Gloom could overtake us unless we look toward the spiritual assurances of Deity. A man looking in the wrong end of a telescope sees everyone as less than himself and could become a boaster and a Slanderer. However, criticism is valid when directed at those presuming moral authority, as in "the purging of the priesthood." The keyword is Reformation. "An aviator in the clouds" "is able to take a perspective superior to any involvement or pattern of limitation" and so is competent at long-range planning. The keyword is Observation. He could assist a king sustaining his throne by aggressive measures toward continuing Victory. Some serve their king through unswerving faith. Beauty and Gentleness are embodied in "a woman standing alone, half covered by a robe falling from her left shoulder." She is addicted to acts of kindness and charity through a desire to please others. She possesses psychic powers and unusual gifts hardly appreciated by the present-day world, emblemized by "A fixed star, a transcendental Sun, shedding a halo of supernal glory." Moon in Capricorn goes void-of-course at 4:34a PT until entering Aquarius at 8:15a PT Sunday 15th: From Luke, Chapter 19: "And now, as Jesus approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole company of his disciples in their joy began to sing aloud the praises of God for all the great things they had seen: 'Blessings on him who comes as king in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, glory in highest heaven!'" Moon in Aquarius Cosmic PiperThursday, March 12, 2026

• Expedients, or Mandate? • Short forecast: It's just a helluva mess while Mercury is retrograde, February 26 to March 20. Plus, the moon is void-of-course virtually all day. Welcome to Chaos. The symbols for today include possibly the worst of all, representing conscious Evil or black magic, deliberate cruelty. On the contrary, another one represents a harmless person putting the finishing touches on preparation of a meal before him, one fond of "good living." "A forest of big oaks affords a spacious vista for wandering." If allowed to go in one's own Groove one will prosper. A practical business person is never short of Expedients, allying himself with "the world's ways." "A woman of dark countenance stands over a man Prostrating himself before her." I leave the interpretation to you. "A fox running along a path beneath the shadow of a wall" prudently and cunningly avoids dangers. "A girl blowing a bugle" is Summoning us to participation in group responsibilities. "A man bringing down the new law from Sinai" is an inspired prophet representing and dramatizing the Right with a Mandate. Wednesday • Expedients, or Mandate?

▪︎ Righteous Assurance ▪︎ The day may start in Gloom, darkness and silence. Who could help? Only the Supreme. Then, after some time, old circuitous projects and imaginings, dreams and fancies, come alive, even if limply and uncertainly. There is Wandering. A person climbs a rock in the midst of a storm. Flashes of lightning reveal a strong figure climbing well. Perilous adventures are crowned with security and comfort. If there should be rivalism, he or she is a good Marksman hitting the target through power of concentration. A halo of golden light envelops a hand holding a sword--not for indiscriminate slaughter but for accomplishing a righteous Mission. Others, not in battle mode, are like "officers on dress parade," Disciplined and self-assured, though not currently in danger. Who can explain war? "An Angel blowing a trumpet." He publishes an important message bearing on the ethical, spiritual, social condition of mankind. May wars cease, and may we all sit down at "a table set for an evening meal." Familiarity amid pleasant surroundings eventually fosters familial kindness.

• Wonders • The US-Iran war began two days after Mercury went retrograde on February 26th and we might expect an initial confusing portion of it to be completed by March 20th when Mercury turns direct. For today: "A man with two horses plowing" is preparing the earth for reception of precious seed, as a Forerunner of "a higher manifestation." He is original and individual, "ambitious of being the first in everything." Like a Hercules he manifests strength and passion, well equipped for the struggle of life. He is competent to organize a multitude or an army, whether militarily or spiritually, as a strategist on the lookout. Outdoor sports have their dangers, such as "a horse and its rider falling at a fence." One should be lawful, subjecting passion to the power of the will. "A man holds one end of a rope, the other end out of sight in the heavens." He has "a peculiar psychological power enabling him or her to procure esoteric truth at will consciously." Wonders never cease. "A petrified forest" could symbolize an approach to actual physical immortality through diet, exercise and yoga. There is "effective continuity and depth of resource in all human effort." The keyword is Survival . . . . . . and an ensuing Celebration at "an Easter promenade." We inspire one another through individualistic self-expression. Friday • Wonders • Moon in Libra goes void-of-course at 3:23p PT until entering Scorpio at 8:03p PT.

○ Survival ○ Who, or what nation, resembles a mad bull? Two individuals are striving to restrain it with ropes about its head. "A straight column with square capital and base" represents Egoity. Some are didactic and self assertive, lacking flexibility or deference. Two swords crossing each other suggest litigation and Quarreling. One can win a point without being repellent. "A tiger standing Guard over its young litter" is watchful and vigilantly devoted; ferocious in defense of kindred. In a dark gloomy chamber a person on a bed sees brightness on the horizon, a promise of Recovery. "A master instructing his pupil" possesses executive ability through patient investigation and psychological insight, Elucidated for the benefit of students. Power in human character endures through eternal stout-heartedness, symbolized by "a petrified forest." The keyword is Survival. "A luminous cloud, isolated, sails in the azure sky, suddenly opens, and pours out an influence like a shower of pearls of variegated hue." These last two symbols are prominent in the horoscope of the woman Sri Aurobindo called The Mother. Her followers believe that she bestows on them "numerous celestial gifts." Thursday ○ Survival ○ Moon in Libra goes void-of-course at 3:23p PT. Karmically sobering third of this week ends around 7p or 8p PT. Cosmic PiperTuesday, March 3, 2026

° Favoring Wind? ° "A squirrel hiding from hunters" knows when to be loyal to his self-interest. His independence of spirit is good judgment as Caution. But this need not be the Isolation of "a man upon a raft floating in the open sea." "Let him spread his sails in hope, follow his chart with care and trust in Heaven for a favoring wind." If he has sufficient incisive Directness he could follow swiftly a path in life already marked out for him, like "An arrow in flight passing through a cloud of smoke." Some will abide by a mechanical system reminiscent of "An old-fashioned clock," following rules and disciplines to the letter. Others will take up Scholarship of a lofty, speculative character, as if climbing a ladder to the heavens, aiding the elevation and salvation of mankind. Some have a mission of a military or semi-military sort. "A hand holds a sword, not for indiscriminate slaughter but to defend the right." "Thou art a child of the sun, and wilt be armed with the necessary power and authority to execute thy Mission." Who can explain or elucidate that mission? "An angel blowing a trumpet." This could be a popular preacher or lecturer with a message bearing on the social or spiritual condition of mankind. Let us hope that those in war zones will somehow be seated at "a table set for an evening meal." Nature is prodigal, and supports us in festive enjoyments fostering Familiarity with one another. Wednesday ° Favoring Wind? ° Moon in Virgo goes void-of-course at 6:54a PT until entering Libra at 10:57a PT.

° Not Alone ° Is there Evil in the world or humanity? As a philosophical and religious idealist, I say No. Ultimately evil is illusory and the Good triumphs. However, Charubel points out that some deceivers practice black magic with the intent to injure or harm. That could be evident today, but fortunately "a man walking in darkness holds an old-fashioned lantern in his hand," that is, finds his way out of every difficulty guided by religious or moral truths taught by his Forefathers. Documents may be significant today, maybe related to taxes, rent, or, publicly, the Epstein files. "A high flagstaff with a red flag floating on the top" means that Revolutionists are active; certainly in Iran. "A man in armor, fully equipped and bearing a shield" is a lucid symbol for what may be going on in Iran. Many are cautious and circumspect, brave and dauntless, defended by the goodwill of friends and associates. There is Security. At a more personal level, there is a loving, sweet Guarding of younger or less accomplished individuals. "Concentric circles, one within the other" are mutually sustaining. Commerce goes on in "a public market." The converging and conflicting interests of many are organized in arrangements for mutual benefit. Talent is magical. "A little white lamb, a child and a Chinese servant" may seem scattered divisions of labor, but they have an integrating significance for one another. Nothing acts alone or in a vacuum. Monday ° Not Alone ° Moon in Leo until entering Virgo at 4:35a PT (void-of-course for just 6 minutes before that) Cosmic Piper
