Theme: Spiritual upliftment

Mercury is exactly trine Neptune today. This aspect provides opportunities for spiritual upliftment in the moment through making space. Mercury also moves signs today – from Scorpio to Sagittarius bringing an open-minded, wider perspective in communications. Chiron is square Jupiter encouraging enquiry on how you can better see that the glass is half-full not half-empty.

Pain nourishes courage. You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you.~Mary Tyler Moore

Theme: Examining details

The Moon is in Virgo giving energy towards focusing on details, communications more broadly, re-finding your routine, addressing any health concerns and caring for small animals. That’s quite a lot – so you best get to work! The Moon is also approaching the nodes bring new and old people into your sphere to help you move through conundrums. Finally, Neptune turns direct today which is good news for the conjunction with Saturn. With both Saturn and Neptune moving forward resolution of this difficult conjunction, while nascent, has begun. It doesn’t mean you’re out of the woods but you can see glimpses of possibility.

Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else.~ Maya Angelou

Theme: Shadows and wisdom

With the Sun, Venus and Mars in Sagittarius you can be more adventuresome and brave. Uranus is opposite Mercury enabling thought processes and communications to come more swiftly, often from unexpected quarters. In addition, the dark moon is exactly opposite Uranus today. Sudden or unexpected events reveal the more hidden or shadow psychological aspects of ourselves, enabling access to a more authentic self.

Theme: Antidotes

While the difficult conjunction of Saturn and Neptune continues Jupiter is currently the equalizer, beneficially off-setting the most difficult and challenging issues of this conjunction. Jupiter brings optimism in situations where there is despair and a wider perspective on the causes of suffering that is anchored in psychological antidotes. While Saturn is about cause and effect in a worldly sense Jupiter is about the merit we create for ourselves when we undertake virtuous activity. Neptune is what we make it. With Neptune, we can choose to go further into delusion and denial or surrender to an authentic spiritual path and guide.

Theme: “I Believe in Yesterday”

The two main astrology patterns that were written about yesterday hold true today and tomorrow. An ease of thinking and communication, except when asserting ourselves, if not done carefully. The Moon is in Cancer for a few days which gives us an emotional security, but others might be less pliable than usual. It is best to care for others as opportunities arise. And be ready to make adjustments in our plans.

It is very important to generate bodhicitta over and over again with unbearable love towards all sentient beings,… ~Kyabje Penor Rinpoche

Theme: Harmony and Friction

There is a grand water trine with Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn for a few days. This gives us extra intuition, expansive power and discipline. Things will flow smoothly except for the fact that Mars has moved into a square angle with Saturn, which can indicate thwarted ego energy. The best thing to do is to center ourselves and proceed with caution for the next week. The Moon is finishing up its few days in Gemini so enjoy conversations.

Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

The moon is void of course today from 7:56 pm until 8:55 pm EST. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Chatty

The Moon is in chatty Gemini so there are many conversations to be had but will they be meaningful? One thing is for sure there will be a lot of change in a short space of time regarding communications and local trips. Relationships with siblings or friends who are like siblings to you will be prominent. The Moon is full at 6.15pm today and everything leads up to that full moment. Emotions are heightened and tension builds, but like the tide it turns and the energy that has been building will inevitably wane.

The silver light, which, hallowing tree and tower, Sheds beauty and deep softness o’er the whole, Breathes also to the heart, and o’er it throws A loving languor which is not repose.~ Lord Byron

Theme: Emotional connectivity

The Moon aspects a number of planets today: it is opposite Mercury, sextile Jupiter, sextile Saturn/Neptune conjunction and conjunct Uranus! The sextiles create beneficial outcomes if you’re focused and cultivate confidence, while the Mercury opposition is a “stop to think before you speak” aspect. Finally the Uranus conjunction requires flexibility in dealing with unexpected demands. All of these aspects are handled best if you are in touch with your heart.

You Starfleet types are too dependent on gadgets and gizmos. You lose your natural instincts for survival.~ Kira Nerys, Star Trek

The Moon is Void of Course in Taurus between 2.15pm and 9.48pm in Taurus EST USA.

Theme: Transformative relationships

Venus is trine Pluto enabling more depth and sustainability in relationships especially with the involvement of love and compassion. The Moon is in Taurus focusing attention on security, financial matters and self-care. As Taurus is ruled by Venus an appreciation of beauty and the benefit of grounded relationships is also emphasized. As Mercury is now direct communications are clearer. While Mercury remains in Scorpio there is still more information to be uncovered to assist with clearer communications.

Even if you know the way, ask one more time.~ Korean proverb

Theme: Opening our hearts and minds

With a plethora of planets in Sagittarius including just recently moved-in Venus, it’s a great opportunity to open your eyes and look around at the bigger picture rather than getting into the weeds. Sagittarian energy is both adventurous, wide-eyed, optimistic and direct to the point of bluntness. The Moon is conjunct Chiron today bringing a fine point to the wounded warrior within you. This conjunction creates the question we can ask of ourselves – what is the emotional woundedness we carry within ourselves that can be turned into compassion for others in similar circumstances?

We do on stage things that are supposed to happen off. Which is a kind of integrity, if you look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else.~ Tom Stoppard

The Moon is Void of Course in Aries from 1.14pm to 10:12pm USA EST. Avoid any major activities or contract signing during this sign. Go within and connect with your spirituality.
