° 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. (Some may gain success through a woman.) Friday ° Favor within one's own Groove ° Moon in Aries goes void-of-course at 4:53a PT until entering Taurus at 8:59a PT. The New Moon also occurs at 4:23a PT. Cosmic Piper
