Theme: Mutability

Pisces and Gemini are both mutable signs – ever changing with the environment and going with the flow. With three planets in Pisces and the Moon in Gemini there is a responsive quality to changing circumstances. The down-side of mutability is that there can be a lack of boundaries and discrimination. The Moon in Gemini also signals a more interactive, social and conversational environment for the next two days.

That silence is one of the great arts of conversation is allowed by Cicero himself, who says, there is not only an art, but even an eloquence in it.~ Hannah Moore

Theme: Hone your purpose

As the Sun moves closer to the north node over the next few days it’s timely to re-evaluate your life direction. Are you heading where you need to go to be of most benefit to yourself and others? The Moon is conjunct Uranus today providing a period of disruption and unsettlement. This experience is an encouragement to be flexible and patient. While Venus remains in Pisces take time to connect with your heart and compassion. This will in turn enable you to connect with others.

The need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence. It results from the profound interdependence we all share with one another.~ HH 14th Dalai Lama

The Moon is Void of Course in Taurs from 12:19pm to 9.29pm which is like a liminal space of transition but also an opportunity for reflection and to go gently with yourself. Avoid material overload and signing contracts during this period.

Theme: Pleasant, Social and Intuitive

The trine between Venus and Jupiter is almost exact today, which has mostly beneficial ramifications. The only down side is a possible tendency to sit around and be lazy and indulgent. Social occasions are favored today. And financially, it indicates good results. It is also a good day to begin a trip. The fact that both planets are in water signs gives our intuition a boost. The Moon in Taurus has a stabilizing effect on our mood and emotions as well.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself. ~Confucius

Theme: From Fiery to Earthy

Today the Moon remains in fiery Aries until the evening when it moves into earthy Taurus. So our emotions, and subconscious change quickly for most of the day. It is helpful in being productive if we can balance it with enough patience. Then the Moon will be exalted in Taurus for a few days, and we will feel more secure emotionally. Mercury, representing our communication and thought, will continue to slow down until the next Mercury retrograde cycle in 5 days.

Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. ~H H the Dalai Lama

The Moon is void of course today from 6:13 am today until 6:32 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Exact!

Saturn has caught up exactly with Neptune in the first degree of Aries today. This combination makes things seem worse than they are. But can we integrate the energies? We could strike out in a new spiritual direction and bring it down to earth. The Pisces and Aries placements of many planets support new spiritual action. For several days Venus trines Jupiter which is a nice combination, but we should watch out for overindulging.

The only thing that is meaningful is to make this life a vehicle by which you can come to benefit beings. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Partial action stations!

The Moon moves into Aries today bringing a change of pace – although with the Sun, Venus and Mercury remaining in Pisces there is still a lot of unconscious swirling of the psyche that periodically rises to the surface allowing you to identify the source of your feelings. It is a good time for meditation and retreat. Having said that the Moon will conjunct Saturn/Neptune stirring the pot of activity – often unanticipated. Aim to connect with your heart to help balance things.

Keep hope alive.~ Jesse Jackson

Wednesday by Wangmo

Theme: Immersion

The Sun has moved into Pisces and together with three other celestial bodies in Pisces, Venus, Moon and Mercury, it’s an open invitation to re-connect inwardly with your psyche. In other words, re-connect with your heart and feelings, and ultimately compassion in its purest form. The flip side of Pisces is avoidance and addiction and losing oneself in a kind of forgetting of one’s true nature.

This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.~ The Buddha

The Lunar New kicks off today and, along with a new moon, brings the fresh breeze of a Fire Horse Year. The Fire Horse is closely associated with the planet Jupiter so expect some beneficial outcomes this year and an expansion of your view this year. Of course it can be a wild ride at times. The New Year coincides with an annual solar eclipse so today is an important day to be mindful as it is influential in establishing/magnifying personal themes (astrologically speaking) until the next annual solar eclipse.

A canter is the cure for every evil.~ Benjamin Disraeli

The Moon is Void of Course in Aquarius from 7.01am until 9.09am. Avoid signing legal/contractual documents. Don’t over-think things at this time. Remember to breathe!

Monday by Wangmo

Theme: Insight and completion

The Moon is nearly in its last waning phase signaling completions, endings and providing a more reflective space. It’s an in-between but powerful place to be before the new Moon tomorrow. Saturn has finally moved into Aries and into a more comfortable sign for it’s material expression. Not so Neptune in Aries. Change and some upheaval is inevitable with these planetary placements. The Moon is conjunct Mars today so lots of activity, but not always easy.

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.~ Kierkegaad

Theme: Powerful Emotions

Especially in the middle of the day the connection between the Moon and Pluto is very strong, indicating powerful emotions that will lessen later on. It is an excellent opportunity for insight in to ones self and others. Saturn has joined Neptune in Aries, which should provide more grounding in terms of our actions. With the Moon in Aquarius for a few days we will be more cool and detached except during the middle of the day, today.

We need a sense of the oneness of the 7 billion people alive today…. We all share the potential for positive and negative emotions, ~H H the Dalai Lama

The Moon is void of course today until 1:18 am EST. Do not make any major decisions until after this time.
