Astrology
Play catch up early in the day and enjoy the temporary lack of pressure. As time passes the energy changes and it’s important to pacify a disturbance. The other side keeps changing its mind and diplomacy seems difficult. Indecision is rampant. Accept that a good conclusion won’t come immediately. Machines go on the fritz. Turn your attention to personal matters, to helping those in trouble or forming significant relationships. A deal is being made, and construction is underway. An outwardly difficult person or situation is actually in agreement with you, strange as that sounds. Listen to the one who doesn’t sound like an ally, and there is your ally! Forward progress is being made, though it doesn’t seem like it. Confusing? Yes: welcome to life! Talk is meaningless now and unsolicited phone calls are on the upswing. “Actions speak louder than words” is 100% true today. Ignore what people say and watch what they do.

Declare your love today, and be specific! “I like you because you are attractive, intelligent and prompt” will make you popular with your loved one or your friend. The tendency to over talk and overdo is still in the picture, so make your statement and fall silent. Do your job and go home. Two modes are here and they could not be more different. An accountant and a racehorse are competing for your attention. Give each its due. It’s impossible to do your taxes as you run around the track, so do one first and then the other. The conflicting energies make everyone jumpy, and the open door leads to private conversations and relationships. Find time to commune with a special person and everything falls into place! C.S. Lewis said, “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: what, you too? I thought I was the only one.” A friend saves the day if you reach out.

Power of the Stupa: VIDEO teaching by Tulku Sang Ngag Rinpoche
The following is a full length video teaching offered by Stupa Master Tulku Sang Ngag Rinpoche at Kunzang Palyul Choling:
Astrology
This is the day to push forward and do all the work before you! Critical thinking is excellent and you can dissect anything in two seconds flat. Be most interested in the questions “how does it work” and “will it work?” in any project. Details and facts are important today. Read instruction manuals. Present your project to the boss and it will be well received. Humility has replaced pride and work goes well. The danger is in overdoing or in working so long and hard that you’re in a tizzy. If you start micromanaging everything in sight, give yourself a break. Jonathan Kozol said, “Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.” Think small and you will win today.

Compassionate Blessings: A Dialog
The following is from a twitter dialog between Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo and one of her followers:
Stupas cost about $150K -200K to build including the required Stupa Master. It boggles that people with that kind of money don’t support Stupa building for peace, to pacify suffering, sickness and old age, delay death, pacify war and hunger, and balance the planet. That’s why we should build Stupas.
(Jetsunma asks follower how he is doing.)
Follower: Happy as a clam and fit as a fiddle, lovely one. Your pretty little self?
Jetsunma: Not too shabby even though I had a hopeful ring appraised to build a Stupa. It was a total flat out fake. Gotta fund raise. Fund raising is kind of embarrassing, but its for an excellent reason. We’ll figure it out. Stupas are worth it. If there was anything else worth it I’d give it up in a heartbeat.
Follower: Well, it could be argued that raising the funds for those in need takes precedent, which is, to an extent true.
Jetsunma: I have built Stupas already, over 30, want to build them anywhere there is suffering and hardship or war.
Follower: Good for you, angel. I’m not suggesting you shouldn’t. I spend part of my time raising money to keep a 13th century building up.
Jetsunma: To me and mine this is the best way to give to all, blessings bring result. What kind of blessing? For example, a tumor dissolves, and no money for medical costs. It’s a “vibrational” blessing, sphere of truth. Love. Like a Buddha.
Follower: What about the poor and needy? If only life where black and white, eh?
Jetsunma: And you are right. Its not black or white: compassion. And we do a food bank, animal rescue, we work for the benefit of all. Here’s a teaching offered by a Master Stupa builder on the blessings they bring https://www.tibetanbuddhistaltar.org/the-merit-of-stupa-building/. Thing is you can argue and such but this is what I do, charity and benefit are my reason for being.

Precious Jewels
The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
If someone gave you a very expensive piece of old jewelry what would you do with it? I’d build another stupa. A gift to the earth and all beings.
Why wear something so valuable when it can benefit beings? It will bless everything and anyone for atleast 100 miles in all directions. Of course we can raise money. But if this ring is real, I wish to pay for it all myself. I pray it is real so I have the privilege to help beings.
When the time comes we will ask for volunteers and I hope many will use this tremendous opportunity to gather merit and clear non-virtue.

Pride is an issue today, yours or somebody else’s. Be as respectful as possible with others, but don’t get “taken for a ride” by an appeal to pride followed by a financial request. It’s important to be aware of your goals and to put your money where your heart is, not where someone else’s heart is. Bill Cosby said, “I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.” A misunderstanding can occur, or else one side is withholding important information. Beware of thieves. Once you are on guard, it’s a nice day. Business matters go well, and something is being created slowly and steadily that will stand the test of time. The most important things are discussed in private, not in public. And everybody is a chatterbox!

Three planets in fire signs give folks the get up and go to handle all the work and intrigue that characterizes the day. Men, women and children are in harmony, yet someone’s pride can be wounded by a rebuff involving a potential partnership. Have fun with people but hesitate about taking the next step, especially if it involves finances. Think of a shill at a carnival entertaining the crowd. Everyone is having fun, and then he asks for money. Game change! Smile and say “no thanks” and he’ll move on. Know what you’re getting into, and know what you will and won’t do! Leo Buscaglia said, “The most difficult thing is to be what other people want you to be. Don’t let them put you in that position.” Elsewhere a fun, chatty mode is prevalent and the future looks very bright.

Heart Son of Palyul: His Holiness Karma Kuchen Rinpoche
The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
Shortly before Kyabje His Holiness Penor Rinpoche had His Parinirvana, He watched me watching His Holiness Karma Kuchen Rinpoche. His Holiness gave me a deep look and said “He is better than me. ”
It must be true. Tsawei Lama said it. The more I read and pray I know it’s true. I cannot explain the gifts I’ve been given.
His Holiness Karma Kuchen Rinpoche is the inheritor, and the two other heart sons are supports. His Eminence MugsangRinpoche is for America.
OM AH HUNG BENZAR GURU PEDMA SIDDHI HUNG!
