The general horoscope

The Moon slips into Scorpio before dawn, a hair of light that nobody will see, and joins Mercury and Venus in the basement of the sky. Three bodies in one sign that prefers the lights off. This is the day for the box under the bed, the folder named misc, the question you answer with a joke because the real answer has weight. The Moon squares Pluto as it arrives, and the urge is to control the thing instead of looking at it. Resist that, gently. Venus is still walking backward and her square with Mars is only a day old, so some of yesterday's friction is still warm. Open one box. Look at what is inside without deciding what it means. Close it again if you need to. You have not failed by closing it. You have done the harder half, which is knowing what is in there. Most basements, the frog has found, are less frightening than the stairs that lead down to them.
