° Toward Moon River °

A lion's head signifies one on the defensive, 

Prepared in superior strength for any attack. 

Outstanding individuals intervene; a strong hand 

Is supplanting political hysteria.

Cruel beasts and men are strangely prevented 

From harming an exposed naked infant. 

Logical and judicial criteria are profoundly 

Examined by a man before a square 

and a 

Manuscript scroll. A rustic cottage overarched 

By a cedar tree shelters, befriends and succors 

Wayside travelers, granting peace and comfort. 

A river winds its way through a tract of 

Open fields under the moon's rays bestowing 

Calm, fortune, romance, persuasion, harmony.

• Mystical Invitation • 

A horse draws a strong farmer's cart: 

Industrious scientific agriculture. 

A man ready for attack, a knight of the 

Field, defends his and his country's rights. 

A woman blindfolded is led by a man in

Weak and seductive entanglement.

The square of 8 denotes a secretive lover 

Of the mystical, perchance the I Ching.

A man before a square with a manuscript scroll 

Before him continually examines things of concern 

Towards their inherent profundity.  

Once the veil has been snatched away 

From a bride, she will continue along the path 

She has chosen by her Invitation.

• Command Procuring Satiety • 

A boy molded in his mother's aspiration 

For him comes to understand her exactions.

He is flexible, generous, kind, his finger 

Pointing upward as if in command.

He might resemble a red pyramid on an 

Open plain, flaunting character and passion.

An elevated promontory crowned with colorful 

Flowers depicts his charm and favor. 

A person carried by four men in a 

Sedan chair has luck and accumulates wealth, 

Though seeming idly self-indulgent.

Whatever the stock market does, a group of people 

Have overeaten and enjoyed it. Their 

Satiety 

Largely compensates their competence.

• Beyond the Shadows •

Isolated feelings? Betrayal? A solitary tree 

Upon a rocky height is proud. An archer

With a quiver of arrows on his back

Is a quick observer and designer.

Near a bag of money on a table stands 

A dark woman masked. Those who attract 

Friends and bounty could be victimized. 

A very old man faces a vast dark space 

To the northeast. For what has he a sanction?

Two heads look out and beyond the shadows,

Transcendental powers of comprehension. 

Intelligence sees both sides. A mundane cross 

Reveals the sublime, the strange and the curious. 

What mystical authors really get it?

Saturday 29th • Extemporization • 

In wig and gown a propounder of forensic 

Science seeks justice eminently. 

A man and woman standing with their backs 

To each other are reserved, bashful, modest. 

The restraint of a harem conserves energies, 

But a woman may reject its terms at any cost.

A man asleep by the side of some money-bags 

Lacks a sense of duty, dreaming obliviously. 

Back to some practicality brought to 

the point of

Ruthlessness: One hand is slightly flexed with a 

Very prominent thumb. Determination!

An explorer, discoverer, traveler chooses to 

Set up a temporary building or rude shanty 

With four posts and fastened rails. Adventure!

A bridge, dilapidated or broken,

Indicates projects fallen through, 

Or missing friends. One might enter 

A room full of machinery and chemicals 

To perceive, experiment, invent;

Or, if donning wig and gown, one could 

Take up the law or forensic science. 

A Chinese woman nurses a baby with a message, 

Embodying or materializing universal values. 

Others are receptive to a cyclic turn of opportunity 

In the creative pleasure of a merry-go-round's 

Endless resourceful diversion.

Money comes and goes amid beauty and cheer. 

A man and a woman play youthfully together, 

With fruits, flowers and wine on a table beside them.

• Soldiers, Clowns, Fairies, Angels • 

A very long, straight road seems to 

Have no end, unrolling a quiet life. 

A soldier fully prepared deserves the credit 

Earned by his redoubtable efficiency. 

A clown making inimitable grimaces 

Emphasizes the ridiculous for a sharpened

Everyday impact on others on life's long road. 

Or could he decide to be a priest instead,

Standing in a cloister beneath the light 

Of a window? 

A quiet secluded life gains protection 

From the

High-positioned. Some will choose a more imaginative 

Path, as if men dreaming of fairies. 

Angelic outlooks are foretastes of achievement.

The ridiculous instructively exaggerates.

A clown is making grimaces, Inimitably.

The regalia of scepter and crown, marbleized, 

Depict firm character triumphing over rivals. 

Plenty follows some who enjoy conventional

And superficial luxuries of life. 

But an elephant with his castle on his back 

Helps and defends the weak sagaciously. 

A field of corn standing high and ripe 

Belongs to one who succeeds at husbandry 

And farming and competent right thanking. 

In the field, a colored child is playing with 

White children. Differences are embraced

In mutual appreciation of Intimacy.

Of armed men to discern and meet their

Whining, complaining and lamenting could

Usurp the place of calm activity. 

Rabbits dressed in clothes and on parade 

Project themselves into Approbation.

Suspicion can be poison; one can trust 

An unsealed letter Confidently.

Is like an original, brilliant, forceful mind. 

Indulging too freely in luxuries is like eating 

Too much fruit from a loaded tree, yet

People possess fine tastes and accomplishments.

An old sage sitting by his midnight lamp

Studies a problem with grand mental ambition. 

A gigantic will makes him a true magician.

1 "Mathematical instruments on a table with a sheet of blank white paper" hint that we might neglect our mathematical (or other) abilities rather than use them wisely. 

2 Someone important to you is or was the founder of a society, school of philosophy, or great movement. 

3 "A mermaid" symbolizes "the nascent eagerness of the soul for a private and personal participation in every possible facet of self-fulfillment. The individual forever seeks and responds to the creative needs of life itself." The keyword is Importunity. 

4 "A man is walking with two women, their arms linked in his." A light, joyous spirit could be duplicitous, making for trouble in love or marriage. The keyword is Vacillation. 

5 The quiet moments of experience are a real opportunity for self-orientation. "Two fairies on a moonlit night" are magically rising above whatever may threaten their well-being. The keyword is Ascendancy. 

6 Sepharial gives a beautiful interpretation of "Two golden circles joined by a blue ribbon tied in a double bow." This is someone kind and benevolent, fortunate in one or two marriages, an idealist loving peace and concord, making many sincere friends. The keyword is Union.

0 You may find it helpful to choose one to three of the following paragraphs as pertinent to your current situation. Near the end of the day you might revisit all six for further light. 

1 Some will "do well by dealing with what lies deep in the earth."

2 "Many little birds on the limb of a large tree" could symbolize "a happy lightness of the human spirit as it rejoices in its infinitely varying relations with the beautiful and the good." The keyword is Ramification. 

3 "A mummer's mask" might belong to a coquette or someone given to mimicry and imitation, simulating the character of others, with a natural aptitude for theatricals. 

4 "In the center of a high mountain plateau one of the ancient magi is performing his matutinal devotions. The lord of day ascends on the luminous horizon." 

5 "Two fairies on a moonlit night" are exalting fancy as a dynamic factor in all self-realization. There is a transforming sensitivity or a healing imagination. The keyword is Ascendancy. 

6 "Two hands are linked in a close grip of friendship." Many are demonstrating "a rich, unselfish nature, capable of those little greatnesses in daily life which make a person beloved, if not remarkable, and probably instrumental in forming some large associations for social co-operation or intellectual improvement." The keyword is Sustaining.

• Overcoming Misanthropy to find Daybreak • 

1 Charubel warns us to avoid cellars, basements or other low places, to escape the danger of something falling from above. 

2 "A dagger," says Sepharial, is "an ominous sign!" Mars in Donald Trump's birth chart is at this degree of quarrels, arguments and impulsive actions. Many today will be on the alert to attack and oppose. They may be "very executive, but by no means constructive in disposition, hence liable to go through life like a tornado, remarked but not esteemed."

3 "A pillar of black marble roughly hewn" denotes someone melancholy and misanthropic. He or she may make a bad match, with probable separation. The keyword is Solitariness. 

4 "Game birds feathering their nests" are consciously participating in a group destiny, justifying their own being by fulfilling the expectation of others. The keyword is Meticulousness. 

5 "Daybreak" is a symbol of the cycles of change as an ultimate assurance to the human heart. "Reality is ever a beginning in the sense of the immediacy it offers the individual." The keyword is Genesis. 

6 "A star surrounded with many rings" is positive and assuring. "Thou never need be cast down. Thou wilt meet with trials, but fear not, 'Thy bread shall be given thee, and thy water is sure.'"

5 "A fair woman looking at her face in a handglass" may be deemed "frivolous, improvident and foolish, laughing in the face of fate."

1 It is not necessary to continue any given action to the point of self-cancellation, so it need not happen that "an automobile is wrecked by a train." We have control. "The ultimate obligation of the individual is to himself, and not to the narrow and momentary direction of circumstances." The keyword is Dispersion. 

2 A better form of dispersion is "men getting large granite stones out of a rock." They succeed with the most ordinary things of this world, even become wealthy by means others would consider beneath their notice. 

3 "A thick wood stands at the back of a field in which a man is plowing with an ox." The keyword is Steadfastness. 

4 An ordinary looking, cleanshaven man is fond of conventional pleasures and popular amusements. 

5 "A centaur, half man and half horse" subtly and changefullly simulates the virtues and vices of others, often diplomatically. He may alternate between paths of debasing instinct and high endeavor.

6 "A rainbow" assures us of divine participation in the most unpromising of human relationships. Nature will co-operate effectively with every vision we choose to keep alive. There is very real spiritual power and presence in all personal effort and desire. The keyword is Significance.

° Toward the Supermind ° 

1 "A shovel suspended in mid-air" is the non-implement of one who devotes time and energy to what is impracticable and profitless, "digging in the air and sowing to the wind."

2 But "a man all bundled up in fur leading a shaggy deer" is a trail-blazer exuding unlimited self-reliance. The keyword is Indomitability. 

3 "A gladiator with dagger and shield is ready for the fray" but makes enemies by his irascible disposition. "Self-command is the greatest of all conquests."

4 "A large undershot waterwheel" is suggestive of Sri Aurobindo's major works which appeared first in The Arya, a periodical. He was born with Sol in this degree. The rest of Sepharial's reading is exactly correct: "One who will prove a leading character in some great movement, or the founder of some society or school of philosophy." 

5 "There are illimitable opportunities for the human spirit to dramatize its personal achievement or individual aspiration" as if it were "a bareback rider." The keyword is Audacity. 

6 "A bright, pale blue star shines over a clear lake." This person (as for example Sri Aurobindo) gains distinction by mental powers (even unto the Overmind or Supermind). "The native will shine like a star in his sphere of life, and will have many followers." Voila!
