Greetings, little myrmidons of the underworld god of death and taxes! How's everything in the miserable world of the subconscious you poor wretches are forced to inhabit? As I remember it (and it's my tragedy that I do), we left you last month about to launch your career as Feedmibeast the First, guru to the unfortunate, the gullible and the generally worthless who make up the larger (if not the entire) body of humankind.
You've already organized the bogus charity (an essential ingredient in such ventures) and also held the first meeting of the novices from amongst whom your inner circle will be drawn, sexual attractiveness and personal wealth being the defining criteria. However, your plans are immediately delayed by hidden machinations. With Venus the goddess in Virgo and your solar eleventh house wrestling with underworld Pluto in Sagittarius and your solar second house, an instant and bitter rivalry forms among your followers as they vie for your favours. As the FULL MOON comes in Aries and Mercury the messenger turns retrograde in Libra, you're showered with offers of secret sexual trysts and additional covert financial contributions. Largely, this augurs well for the future of the cult and it should be pointed out that you're at home among all this rivalry, jealousy, secret plotting and betrayal.
The real problem is that it is not entirely clear which of your followers is offering what (due to retrograde Mercury and also to the generally weak-minded character of the people you've chosen). Thus, you don't want to make the mistake of arranging the right tryst or payoff with the wrong person. However, as Venus the goddess is now making tension with sober Saturn, an elderly follower manages to make clear their intentions. This one shows all the signs of a dangerous obsessive streak you recognize all too easily, as it's reminiscent of your own behaviour. Will you hire a hitman and order a body bag? Perhaps it's too soon for that but you still don't like obstructions on the path to success and uncertainty is definitely an obstruction. But, since this is a retrograde Mercury cycle, you'll just have to put up with what the Heavens dictate and not feel that you ought to be singled out for special treatment. As the great Sol Invicti wrestles with giant Jupiter, you put yourself to work setting up the overseas accounts to siphon off funds from the trust you've created.
Then, when mighty Mars creates a little heavenly mischief with the great Sol Invicti, you hire guards to protect your soon-to-be sacrosanct person. As they then begin to fight for the honour of protecting you, you again get a sense that all will go well with regard to the greater scheme. When Venus the goddess moves into Libra and the NEW MOON comes in that sign, you decide all is in readiness to launch the campaign that will establish your divinity, obsessive followers or not. As the great Sol Invicti moves into your sign and Mercury the messenger goes direct, it's near time for liftoff. But what's this? Mighty Mars moves into Aquarius and your solar fourth house and there in the auditorium for the first address by Feedmibeast the First is an array of members of your own household and their weird associates. Are they here as friends or foes? Click here next month and find out.
