Weekend of October 17th and 18th, 2026

Message for Weekend of October 17th and 18th, 2026

Saturday 17th:

• From Tact to Companionship • 

One who becomes a pest or terror seems like 

A serpent with many heads, fangs protruding. 

Meanwhile, violent and rash individuals 

Sweep a prairie like a desolating storm.

Nature however is tactful, dropping down 

Information in the symbol of an autumn leaf.

Still there remain multi-colored flowers 

Plus human attractiveness and charm.

Those who are passively regular in their conduct 

Resemble a Welsh harp, loving the harmonious 

In all things. Sharing with intimates and neighbors 

At every opportunity makes life open out 

Into an evening lawn party. Social 

Maturity becomes mellow companionship. 

Saturday: • From Tact to Companionship • 

Moon in Capricorn 

Karmically sobering third of this week continues until Sunday early afternoon. 

Sunday 18th:

Let's look at some longer trends. Mercury shall be retrograde from Saturday October 24th through November 12th-13th. But the longer termed Dark Hermetic Epoch is already with us, from October 4th through November 30th. Delays, uncertainties, wondering, pondering, thinking, musing, planning and replanning, occult quest and spiritual pursuit. It's not a bad time except for the impatient. A more normal Bright Hermetic Epoch shall run from December 1st through January 24th. 

Sunday: Moon in Capricorn goes void-of-course at 9:14a PT until entering Aquarius at 6:41p PT. 

Karmically sobering third of this week ends near noon or shortly thereafter. 

Cosmic Piper
