The Serenity Prayer (1st Published March 15, 1933)

This prayer received a short mention in Ellie’s Meat and Potatoes Tarot video about the 16th Major Arcana card, The Tower:

Well, that spurred the idea that we could look at the chart for that event. Now, admittedly, on the day of publication, midnight plus 1 second could be the ‘real’ time, but, in this case, I let the time be randomized. The result looks like this:

Talk about surrendering…the Yod, pointing at Neptune, is made up of inconjuncts from Mercury and the Midheaven. Alongside the Mercury/Neptune inconjunct is a second inconjunct linking Mercury and Mars. That seems to tell the story in a completely obvious way. Saturn is conjunct the Midheaven, and that aspect represents the God of this material world. Mercury in Aries is our human intellect. Mars/Neptune is our fight to rid ourselves from bondage/addiction to our passions. And when you put them together, it demonstrates that we need help to overcome our problems. Is that clear enough?

This picture hangs in the hall of my house and I look at it every time I pass it on my way to another part.
