• 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.

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." "Beauty, sublimity, purity, and holiness--yea, the divine nature--appear in man and the universe never to disappear." -- Mary Baker Eddy, Christian Science textbook, pp. 508 & 509 Moon is void-of-course until entering Pisces at 10:41a PT.

• 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.

Thursday • Toward Commonplace Optimism •

Moon in Capricorn goes void-of-course at 7:20a PT.

Karmically sobering third of this week ends near 3p PT.

Which is harder to navigate,, the sobering third or the void-of-course? What do you think?

• 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. Wednesday • Toward Faith and Peace • Moon in Capricorn Karmically sobering third of this week continues until Thursday mid-morning. Cosmic Piper

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. Karmically sobering third of this week is with us until Thursday mid-morning.

• Sophisticated Mystery • "A ram standing alone looks toward a flock of sheep in the distance." This is a bachelor (or maybe spinster) degree. Some are wily and acquisitive. "A man in a mask stands beneath the shadow of a tree at night. At his feet there is a dead cow." He may be deceived in his power to Plunder. "A natural well gives forth water clear as crystal in a dry and barren locality." Some possess wonderful abilities and accomplishments, revealing secrets through research in nature. Youth and femininity exude a generosity of spirit. "A young girl is feeding birds in winter." The keyword is Hospitality. "A man muffled up, with a rakish silk hat" has "superb aplomb arising from the constant rediscovery of greater powers latent in selfhood." The keyword is Sophistication. Some are studious and intuitive, inclined to solitariness yet always surrounded by friends, sought after while seeking none. "A venerable person is seated in an uncertain light, surrounded by books and scientific instruments." The keyword is Mystery. Monday • Sophisticated Mystery • Moon in Sagittarius goes void-of-course at 2:35p PT Cosmic Piper

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. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." -- Matthew 22:36-39 Moon in Sagittarius as of 2:35a ET
