0 Venus's hard aspects with Saturn are generally melancholy, mournful, sad. One is given to the questions "Who loves me, and whom do I love? How loyal and secure is that love?" One can be extremely lonesome. Venus is square Saturn from May 20th through June 6th, at its peak from Wednesday the 27th through this weekend. Scripture reading is recommended. Some passages are Challenging and some are Comforting. We need both. God's love may seem a substitute for or supplement of human love, but at best it also guides us kindly through all human friendships and relationships. Love is eternal.

1 "On the cushion of a throne a dog lies asleep." To some, hard work and care are foreign and distasteful. (Well after all, today is the Sabbath.) By watchful strategy they attain positions for which they are not qualified, and could appear spiteful charlatans. 

2 "An airplane is falling," but the dive could be righted, re-establishing control of the flight. The keyword is Crisis. 

3 "A woman of pleasing appearance offers a glass of fluid to a child." Some are kind, sympathetic, hopeful and inspiring, inclined toward self-sacrifice. The keyword is Healing. 

4 "A monster gourd arises spontaneously from beneath the soil, growing visibly." One's fortunes seem propelled by magic power. 

5 "A Christmas tree decorated" represents "achievement of complete self-satisfaction through a simple sharing of one's potentials with one's fellows." The keyword is Symbolization. 

6 "A baronial mansion in a spacious park abounding with gigantic trees" is inhabited by a student of antiquity who takes but little interest in new inventions--a profound scholar with sound judgment. 

Moon in Scorpio is void-of-course until entering Sagittarius at 5:46a PT. 

Sunday 31st::

"It was a vain unnecessary world 

Whose will to be brought poor and sad results 

And meaningless suffering and a grey unease. 

Nothing seemed worth the labour to become. 

But judged not so his spirit's wakened eye. 

As shines a solitary witness star

That burns apart, Light's lonely sentinel, 

In the drift and teeming of a mindless Night, 

A single thinker in an aimless world 

Awaiting some tremendous dawn of God, 

He saw the purpose in the works of Time. 

Even in that aimlessness a work was done 

Pregnant with magic will and change divine."

Sri Aurobindo, Savitri, pp. 137-8

Moon in Sagittarius goes void-of-course at 6:22a PT

• Protest Directed to Facilitate Sustainment •

1 "A house on fire at night-time" is not to be taken literally. There may be questions about where you or someone important to you is going to live. It's wise to prevent turmoil in the domestic life. 

2 "A dagger lying beside a skull" is likewise not literal but warns against fatal or destructive tendencies arising from melancholy and keen feelings. Patience can prevent tragic undoing. 

3 "An industrial strike" symbolizes "a refusal to accept any lesser in lieu of a greater." There can be constructive reorganization if Protest is successful. 

4 "A man sits at an office desk writing in a ledger." He has good practical abilities, especially as adapted for commercial pursuits. 

5 "A sleigh without snow" only needs snow "under the most unimaginative circumstances, since nature is ever prodigal in her means for supporting reality. The self can align itself with greater possibilities remaining unrealized in a given milieu." The keyword is Sustainment. 

6 "A deer" indicates "a person of fine sensibilities" according to Charubel; a lover of art, and a student given to scientific research.

• Awakening toward Contentment •

1 We start with NOTHING. "Some mystery here which I do not comprehend," says Charubel. Note: The moon is void-of-course most of the day. 

2 "The sun is rising, but the rest of the sky is covered with dark clouds or a lingering night." Grand schemes are failures for the time being. 

3 There seems to be "a stranded vessel on a low, sandy beach." Plans are Obstructed, yet there will always be a new start in life after each failure. 

4 "A woman of Samaria" has lived aplenty before her Awakening meeting with Jesus at the well. 

5 "An old-fashioned well" encourages the assimilation of others' reality into one's own. The keyword is Recompense. 

6 Finally we enter "a peaceful valley with a lake on which a swan is floating. At the back rises a high mountain." There is generosity, kindness, contentment and quiet happiness. The mind is calm and thoughtful, the manners courteous, the body elegant. The keyword is Peace. (A remedy for paragraphs 1-3.)

She has had fateful inclinations and strong passions, and may feel disgraced. 2 A person sits at a desk in a large office, writing in a ledger. There is capability in commercial pursuits. 3 During an electrical storm, a catharsis of nature clears the way for progress ahead. Human personality rises to a moment of union with the universal forces. The keyword is Transformation. 4 In a rough sea causing a wreck, a lifeboat is despatched and all are finally rescued. Charubel says, "Thou shalt save many, and thou shalt save thyself." 5 "A peacock parading on an ancient lawn" is dignifying his or her personal excellencies.

• Kindness Evoked • 1 The Despotism of a man driving slaves is unfortunately not entirely absent in the 21st century. The Prayer of Repentance of Meher Baba includes the line, "We repent for every action that has brought ruin to others, for every word and deed that has given others pain, and for every wish that pain should befall others." 2 "A crucifix" reminds us to honor the Savior's sacrifice for us, and to meditate less on his suffering than on his glorious redemptive Resurrection. 3 Some human beings seem selfish and jealous, like a dog hiding a bone or a respectable beggar, an indolent hanger-on. 4 But many are awakening to the plight of farm animals. I just donated to Compassion in World Farming. "A promiscuous lot of creatures--cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry--are pets rather than means of profit," says Charubel. 5 "Two cobblers working at a table" are balancing pros and cons with each other. The keyword is Capability. 6 "A clear mountain stream" represents "high achievement through an unswerving fidelity to some definite course of action," with the keyword Resourcefulness.

• Reliability Sought and Found • 1 "A man climbing a pole on an elevation" has ambitions in the clouds and exerts himself vainly. The keyword is Vagary. 2 "A wolf following a sheep along a secluded pathway" is crafty, forming associations with a design of ultimate conquest. He is seductive. The keyword is Deception. 3 "A profile of a face" belongs to someone with great powers of perception; an exact, accurate observer of men and things. He would make a good detective. 4 If one seeks personal satisfaction in a simple efficacy of being oneself, one is on the scene of "a duck pond and its brood," aligned to the genius of a modest situation. The keyword is Reliability. 5 "The fullness of life is ageless" to "a woman pursued by mature romance." Genuine maturity heightens capitalization on enduring potentials. The keyword is Persuasion. 6 And so we are on "a very straight road; an interminable perspective," with a balanced mind and a life that will be long and happy. Monday • Reliability Sought and Found • Moon in Gemini is void-of-course all day until entering Cancer at 6:47p PT. Karmically sobering third of this week begins around noon.

Saturday 16th: 1 Many TV and movie videos could be likened to "a dark cloud charged with elemental shapes, hideous and repulsive." Violence and horror should be rejected rather than succumbed to. 2 Charubel recommends being careful, with the degree "a crucifix" emphasized. We ought to remember thankfully the selfless sacrifice of our Savior, rather than be pulled into negative, judgmental cruel thoughts. 3 "Creative aplomb in even the least of situations" is demonstrated calmly by "a squaw selling beads." The keyword is Detachment. 4 Yet perhaps she or her family will acquire "a large, well cultivated tract of land" filled with nature's beauty, rustic pursuits, a large family and many friends. The keyword is Fruitfulness. 5 Or, some will meet with Success in an eccentric vocation, acquiring wealth yet living simply. "An alchemist is at work in his laboratory; upon his table is much gold." 6 "A celestial choir is singing." The keyword is Veneration. Moon in Taurus goes void-of-course at 6:03p PT until entering Gemini at 7:24p PT. New Moon of Taurus is exact at 1:02p PT Sunday 17th; "Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." -- Mark 9: 23 Moon in Gemini Cosmic Piper

• Through Disjunction Toward Concord • 1 "A dark cloud passing over part of the earth is charged with elemental, hideous, repulsive shapes." Charubel warns against evil magic. Human rights infractions in China are not getting the attention they cry out for. 2 "A young man of disheveled appearance sits on a barren rock by the sea, weeping." Dependent, confiding, and sympathetic, he faces bereavement or disappointment. The keyword is Melancholy. 3 "A large disappointed audience" may be asking what was really accomplished by the Xi-Trump meeting in Beijing. There is some frustration and Disjunction. 4 Yet both leaders may resemble "an elephant" who is secretive, sagacious, and confident in his own strength. 5 "A fair woman is leading a child by the hand and gathering flowers by the way." She is loving and agreeable, finding happiness in common duties, a lover of domestic peace and tolerance. The keyword is Concord. 6 "A Spaniard is serenading his senorita."

Some other "very mysterious character"? 2 "A lion rampant, standing on elevated ground" is powerful and haughty, making many his servants but few his friends. The keyword is Pride. (There is more than one such "lion.") 3 "In a market place, several young men in dispute assert their opinions by the free use of cudgels." Sounds like what's scheduled for Beijing today. Quarrelsome or litigious folk have few sympathies. The keyword is Contest. 4. "Lost opportunity regained in the imagination" emphasizes "the all-important and creative fluidity of character which makes man an immortal being." The keyword is Reformulation. 5 A reprise of paragraph 1. A mysterious stranger among men has a life of his own, a world of his own; content to live and vanish unknown. 6 But putting paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 together could bring us to something quite different, "a large well-kept public park." Community divisions of labor bring out the everyday integrity of society at large. The keyword is Recreation.

• Reformulation, Command, Friendship • 1 "A bed of a dried-up river wherein blackbirds are feeding" suggests Decline, as if one were "abandoned to the mercy of wayfaring and deceitful men." 2 However, "lost opportunity" can be "regained in the imagination." Man has "a capacity to re-establish himself in his own world by his own efforts whenever he desires a better foundation." The keyword is Reformulation. 3 "A mounted Indian with scalp locks" can dispense with these latter, let's hope, without losing pride in personal prowess or his unimpeachable control over life. The keyword is Command. 4 "A man, yet greater than a man!" exists Charubel. "His mission is a WORLD mission." Donald Trump longs to fulfill such a role, in China and elsewhere. 5 A large-hearted person easily detects imposition or fraud in any transaction. He has great soul force. 6 "Several sparrows are collected together, chattering and pluming themselves." But these are really social and jovial humans, given to luxury and convivial pursuits, attractive and unselfish, happy in the company of others, expressing their honest nature, forming many Friendships.

Not to worry, but one of today's symbols is "A king sits upon a throne; behind him stands a figure veiled in black." The keyword is Collapse. Ambition leads into dangerous positions. 2 We are never totally deserted or Abandoned, but may feel like "an old oak splintered by storms standing alone upon a desolate moorland." Jesus the Savior has preceded us through such an apparently hopeless condition, before His great triumph. 3 "A stile" indicates someone with an analytical mind, a sound reasoner. 4 "A smelting furnace" indicates a large-hearted person with great soul force. 5 Luxury mirrors any marked achievement in character or skills.

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.

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."

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.

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.
