Saturday 18th: 

1 "A storm in a canyon" energizes us to manifest our inner ideals and enduring values. We rise in supremacy over any momentary crisis. The keyword is Intensification.

"All at once a great storm arose on the lake, till the waves were breaking right over the boat; but Jesus went on sleeping. So the disciples came and woke him up, crying: 'Save us, Lord; we are sinking!' 'Why are you such cowards?' he said; 'how little faith you have!' Then he stood up and rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a dead calm. The men were astonished at what had happened . . ."

• Seductive Fortune, Repose, Intimation •

1 "A meteor or falling star" suggests an eccentric path, poetical or esthetic but made up of short-lived bright incidents. 

2 Whether defensive or aggressive, "a bull tossing a man with its horns" is wilful, feeling "What I can get is my own."

3 "A dark woman masked stands near a bag of money upon a table." Fortunate, one attracts friends and money, but may not know how to use them, so could be victimized. The key phrase is Seductive Fortune. 

4 More happily, as "a gentleman with a number of ladies in a carriage," one has a kind disposition and is liberal with presents. 

5 There can be "Contentment and happiness in luxury, people reading on davenports." This can be valuable relaxation sustaining strained powers. The keyword is Repose. 

6 "A conversation by telepathy" makes it clear that there are illimitable ties between each individual and all others, a fabric of invisible sympathies and co-operations. The keyword is Intimation.

• Daring, Contemplative Approach to Destiny •

1 "A horseman armed is moving across a desert toward some woody hills." He is independent, self-willed and daring, carrying out designs conceived by himself without aid or companionship. Taciturn and self-contained, he will make his mark in some field of work requiring courage and perseverance. 

2 Those "woody hills" contain "a very lofty pine tree" indicative of a noble person whose good influence will be felt within and beyond his own neighborhood. 

3 "A very old book has the appearance of some ancient record." A studious person loves his books, grappling with abstruse expositions of profundity.

5 "A tower on a hill stands at the back of a woodland scene." There is quiet success and easy retirement in a Contemplative life.

• Inception of Deep Achievement •

1 "A small ornate church full of sacerdotal display" does not necessarily correlate with smallminded parishioners. 

2 "A man and woman standing with their backs to each other" are not unsociable but reserved or bashful. Their affections are sincere, though modest or chaste. 

3 "A woman and two men on a bit of sunlit land facing south" are at the possible Inception of a plethora of outer opportunities. What is the coherent pattern of their efforts?

4 "A great musician at his piano" has "the creative assurance which contributes enduring overtones to human understanding in an expanded dimension of being." The keyword is Achievement. 

5 "A man with an ancient-looking book" is studious, a profound thinker who loves deep knowledge for its own sake.

• Growth, Pleasure, Elevation •

1 "A large somber building with walls of granite" denotes longevity in a person of firm character who will do some great, memorable deed in his life. 

2 "A meeting of a literary society" could be a substitution of idle discussion for actual participation in reality. Or, reexamination of an esthetic inheritance could heighten personal identity through a revaluation of fellow human beings. The keyword is Criticism. 

3 "A Topsy saucily asserting herself" tries the patience of her mistress as far as she dares, to develop character through an almost spiritual impudence. The keyword is Growth. 

4 Someone catering to the public as a restaurant manager or inn keeper might serve you; or you might play such a role. 

5 "A man and a woman playing together, with fruit, flowers and wine on a table beside them" display joyous and youthful natures, endowed with personal beauty and qualities which make for cheerful companionship. The keyword is Pleasure. 

6 "A man stands upon a mountain with a staff in his hand, the setting sun showing his figure in relief." He embodies aspiration, adventure and hardihood. Prowess triumphs over obstacles. The keyword is Elevation.

• Realistic Command, or Drift within Equanimity •

1 A man is asleep in the heat of the day with implements beside him. He is dreaming rather than working. It's the last day of the waning moon. 

2 "Toys or common ornaments of glass or tinsel" bemuse a superficial, proud, fretful, peevish person. 

3 Fortunately, there appears "a new path of realism in experience." It arises from "a personal and immediate participation in the affairs of an everyday world." The keyword is Identification. 

4 A man quick to respond to the calls of duty and honor, of noble instincts and disciplined habits, is like "a soldier prepared for battle." He earns the credit that falls to him through efficient executive powers. 

5 Therefore he is in a position to command rather than obey, like "a king, emperor or commander on horseback." This is a degree of power. 

6 Yet it's the last day of the waning moon, so some may feel more like "a woman awaiting a sailboat." We exalt our destiny when aware of ships that might come in for us, with sure insight into the meaning of chance events and the current drift of circumstances. The keyword is Equanimity.

 Messages for Weekend of 11th & 12th July 2026

Saturday 11th:

1 A proud person, fond of the artificial, is superficial and fretful, symbolized by "toys or common elements of glass and tinsel." He or she "creates misery wherever he or she may reside."

2 "Whatever the individual releases in one respect he may regrasp in another," and so while "an airplane falling" is a Crisis, the dive could be righted, thus re-establishing control of the flight. 

3 "A man dressed as a groom riding upon a spirited horse" could be a priest or teacher Serving the cause of truth. His or her life is useful even if obscure. 

4 More mundane truths are found by "a man in a skullcap working with some scientific instruments." He is eager and hopeful that his experiments will succeed. The keyword is Research. 

5 A long-lived person will do some great deed which will be handed down to posterity, symbolized by "a large somber building with walls of granite."

6 "Gondoliers in a serenade" represent "the ever-exuberant music of life itself, as a symphony of co-operative relationships." The hungers of the soul are satisfied. The keyword is Sentiment.

• Gravity, Conformity, Profundity •

1 We start with the keyword Poverty for "a solitary rock jutting up from a waste of sand." There may be a lack of executive direction and purpose. (The moon is void-of-course most of the day. ) But there is fixity, steadiness, and gravity of character.

2 More cheerily, "an escutcheon containing a harp and a gauntlet" suggests tastes toward the musical or military worlds, or both, with a peculiar admixture of gentleness/playfulness with irritability/gravity. 

3 A caterer to the public, or manager of a restaurant or inn, could play a role in your life. 

4 "A priest performing a marriage ceremony" is fulfilled through established rituals which bless others' aspirations. The keyword is Conformity. 

5 Does one have "unlimited personal capacity for rising to the issue of the moment on any level of experience"? Then one has "a quiver filled with arrows." The keyword is Preparation.

6 "A man has a very old-looking book before him, with the appearance of some ancient record." Either yourself or someone important to you grapples with abstruse studies; is a profound thinker.

• Provision leading to Conviviality • 

1 "A dangerous, angry bull" is willful and defensive or offensive. He feels, "What I can get is my own."

2 "An industrial strike" is another form of assertiveness, trying to overcome perceived unfairness, with the keyword Protest. 

3 One can secure protection, meeting every demand of existence advantageously, like "a hen scratching for her chicks." Consistent normality is rewarded. The keyword is Provision. 

4 At the opposite pole, some, of frail character, cling to "a cluster of faded exotics, very sweet and sickly to the smell." They live in whatever pleasures, luxuries, and fictitious stimulants they can afford. The keyword is Satiety. 

5 More soberly, "A burly man in an apron" could be the manager of a restaurant or inn. He caters to the public. 

6 You and others could enjoy "a festival, or occasion for the assembling together of villagers in gala costume." Many will feel sociable, friendly and flexible, with a taste for luxuries and festivities. There is Conviviality..

• Reformation or Unfoldment •

1 Some individuals seem to be self-centered, complaining and lamenting rather than acting and achieving. Do you give again? Jesus said "Feed my sheep" in the last chapter of John's gospel. 

2 Others feel, perhaps justly, that they are underpaid or exploited, and so organize or participate in "an industrial strike." The keyword is Protest. 

3 "An artificial globe" is gazed at by a student, traveler or discoverer. 

4 "A small church" may harbor small minds unless its members attain to the spirit of Jesus's teachings. 

5 Maybe one of its members or pastors will turn out to be "a flash of lightning," a reformer overturning limited beliefs, a Pioneering source of illumination. 

6 Whatever happens, "the germ grows into knowledge and life." "Every possible phase of self-existence is established in more eternal lineaments." The keyword is Unfoldment. 

Wednesday • Reformation or Unfoldment •

• Little Greatnesses • I

1 A blank degree, according to Charubel, cannot be understood by him, but hides some mystery about the number four and its square. 

2 "An old-fashioned well" is pure. We "draw in and give out the substance of ourselves continuously." The keyword is Recompense. 

3 "A Hercules or Samson standing over a slain lion" has overcome his greatest, most terrible enemies. Yet he may display softness and gentleness of manner. The keyword is Conquest.

4 "A small ornate church" observes feasts, fasts and festivals. Its members may be somewhat narrow-minded. 

5 On the other hand, some of them may study a scripture or textbook to the point of resembling "a man before a square with a manuscript scroll before him," fit to discern Mysteries. The keyword is Profundity. 

6 "Two hands linked in a close grip of friendship" guarantee contact with persons who are amiable and filled with concord and goodwill. Little greatnesses make a human being beloved. The keyword is Sustaining.

• Speculation and Satiety •

1 "A pool of water" symbolizes someone easy-going, content with little, fond of home. 

2 "On the cushion of a throne a dog is lying asleep." Some human beings seem idle, attaining offices for which they are not qualified, charlatans hiding a spiteful nature. 

3 "A dagger" is an ominous sign of danger. Some people are quarrelsome and impulsive, attacking, opposing arguing. They have executive skill but are "remarked rather than esteemed."

4 "A group of people who have overeaten and enjoyed it" have sought and attained their reward. The keyword is Satiety. 

5 "Drilling for oil" has the keyword Speculation. 

6 "A very lofty pine tree" denotes a noble person with grand aspirations whose good influence will be felt within and beyond his own neighborhood.

Independence Day Weekend 2026

 Messages for Weekend of July 4th and 5th, 2026

Saturday 4th:

¤ Determination toward Knowledge and Benevolence ¤

1 "A man delving" may want to work with his or her hands even on a holiday. We are fastidious about details. 

2 "One hand is slightly flexed with a very prominent thumb." We either rule our environment or surrender our potentials. The keyword is Determination. 

3 However, there could be some danger through sexual allurement, passionate emotions and "the watery element." The steady effort of the first two paragraphs could be reversed. The symbol is "a reversed triangle upon a red ground." 

4 Are you aiming at a politics-free holiday? Good luck, because whether Left or Right, the ravings of "a radical magazine" are being thrust at you. The keyword is Tangency.

5 Calmer alternatives are available. "A caduceus stands between two moons, one crescent and one gibbous." There is pursuit of Knowledge by a penetrating mind and retentive memory. There could be travel, scholarship and versatility. Moods change in rapid alternation from despondency to hope. Let's ride those moods into a Happy Independence Day!

6 Along with "a gentleman with a number of ladies in a carriage" (car, train, bus, plane,scene). There are presents or other benefits, offered with kindliness and benevolence. Happy 4th!

• Imperturbable Self-Renewal •

0 In an unusual situation, the first four symbols for the day are identical with the first four given yesterday (Thursday July 2), to which you may turn for rereading. In addition, for today:

5 "An untidy, unkempt man" may be taking advantage of (a) the moon void-of-course, (b) Mercury retrograde, and (c) the holiday weekend to say "What's the big deal, whether I shave or shower or comb my hair? Are there not more important things?" The keyword is Imperturbability.

6 In the holiday weekend, we develop "a universal richness of experience through which we share the magic of self-renewal." The out-of-season symbol is "Holly and Mistletoe," with the keyword Ritualization. Personality develops via colorful imagination.

• From Melancholy to Benevolence •

1 We take the hardest symbol first; in fact one of the worst among the 1080 (3×360): "A dagger lying beside a skull." It denotes cruelty and destructive, fatal tendencies; also taciturniity, melancholy and Undoing. As Lightworkers we need to oppose all such trends in those around us and ourselves. Positive thinking, kindness, scripture reading and prayer are cures. 

2 Beneath "a cypress tree" languishes someone of a mournful, fretful, gloomy disposition. He or she needs more faith in immortality. 

3 "A Chinese woman nursing a baby with a message" is seeking to embody the universal values of the human race. The keyword is Materialization.

4 "A gentleman with a number of ladies in a carriage" is good and kind, liberal with presents, bubbling over with benevolence. 

5 "A bright, pale blue star shines over a clear lake." The mind of someone peaceful, harmonious and intuitive is capable of lofty and sustained flights. Sri Aurobindo was born with the sun at this degree. "He will shine like a star in his sphere of life, and will have many followers." Voila!

6 "The garden of the Tuileries" displays for all to enjoy the graceful and exquisite self-expressions of those with social position and wealth. The keyword is Luxury.
