Tuesday October 29
The Day of Mars in the kabbalistic World of Earth. The Moon in Virgo connects with nearly everything under the Sun (including the Sun) today, energizing opportunities with hard work. Our logical and organizational skills will be top-notch.
They will be matched and supported by productivity as Mercury retrograde conjoins Saturn for the second of three times. Pythagoras founded a philosophical and religious school in Croton and was the head of the society with an inner circle of followers known as mathematikoi. The mathematikoi lived permanently with the Society, had no personal possessions and were vegetarians. They were taught by Pythagoras himself and obeyed strict Aquarian rules. The beliefs that Pythagoras held were
(1) that at its deepest level, reality is mathematical in nature,
(2) that philosophy can be used for spiritual purification,
(3) that the soul can rise to union with the divine,
(4) that certain symbols have a mystical significance, and
(5) that all brothers and sisters of the order should observe strict loyalty and secrecy. Pythagoras noticed that vibrating strings produce harmonious tones when the ratios of the lengths of the strings are whole numbers, and that these ratios could be extended to other instruments. In fact Pythagoras made remarkable contributions to the mathematical theory of music. He was a master musician, playing the lyre, and he used music as a means to help those who were ill. Well you can turn me to salt, dye me blue, and let the cows lick me into the homunculus of remorse, whence I will go about the countryside ejaculating Pythagoras' name through kitchen windows. And the people will say, 'Look out, it's him again.' And, typically, there will be those among them who will say, 'Let's kick him to death.' And still others will countermand them, saying, 'No - let's just maim him and send him on his way.' Citizens and townsfolk, can you not see the sign around my neck? LOCK UP YOUR DOUBTERS: SHE IS RISEN, LIKE THE WOBBLY ROD OF MAN AS IT DOWSETH THE FLUIDIFEROUS CHALICE OF THE EMPERESS!
Wednesday October 30
The Day of Mercury in the kabbalistic World of Earth. Mercury's function is to communicate. To think. To know. To reason. Language is his playground. The Akasic Library is his home. And oh yes, Hermes is a Love god. He likes the sound of his own voice. Write a poem, a sonnet, or some erotica today and them transmit that
information to at least one other person. I write these darn things every Wednesday.
We feel a quietude in the background as Sun conjoins North Node. In the foreground, we’re filled with plans as the Moon continues its transit of Virgo, going void of course at 7:48 pm (10:48 pm ET) for an overnight of inward focus. Be careful of injury or hasty action that wounds as Mars opposes Chiron. Acupuncture or other treatments are especially beneficial today.
Thursday October 31
The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Earth. Address every cat you see today with the greeting ‘Good afternoon, Mr. Ravenscrofte’, even if the cat is
female, and even if it isn’t the afternoon. Doff your hat if you’re wearing one; click your heels if you’re not. Deep release is possible and made easier as Mars trines Pluto and quincunxes Uranus. At 5:22 am (8:22 am ET), the Moon moves into Libra and brings out the challenges that lurk unresolved in our relationships as the trick-or-treaters make their rounds. The news of the day may distract us from our
fun-seeking pursuits.
