A sacred space for everyone

Theme: Out of the box
Today there is an unexpected outcome of a positive nature. With the Moon in Aquarius people are more innovative, social and stubborn! The mystical and the earthly energies are harmonizing, providing more stability over the next few months, even though challenges continue in the short term. We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.~Albert Einstein

Theme: Impatience!
Today it’s hard to restrain yourself emotionally. This is because of something from your deep past. It’s good to harness this for collective action as long as patience is your guide rope. Productivity is either restrained or there is too much going on to handle it effectively. However, there is benefit at this time in spiritual activities including understanding the nature of reality. That natural state, free of conceptualization, that suchness, is the very fabric that is the mother of all phenomena, including your own self.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo
Today the Moon is Void of Course from 4.28 pm EST USA until 6.41 pm. If you’re in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or signing contracts during this time.
The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
“Calling the Tsewei Lama from afar” does not mean asking for gifts and wishes fulfilled. It’s about devotion and faith. I mostly get requests for favors. Of course I will try to fulfill anyone’s wish. But Buddhists should also practice and learn so they can help themselves. That’s the point, as there may not always be a Lama to call on.

Theme: Resist and transform
There are emotional challenges today. There is a tendency to emotionally want to keep the status quo. However your habitual responses are being challenged providing you with the opportunity for transforming your emotional patterns. Close relationships offer security and stability and help transform this tension. Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.~Martin Luther King Jr.

Theme: Healing words
There is an opportunity to turn around situations that have been bedevilled by poor communication and emotional hurt. You can move forward in a nurturing away. However with the Moon in Capricorn conjunct Saturn you can get a bit serious today. A sense of humor is very helpful. Energy levels will still be challenged. Spirituality is the antidote. Health consists with Temperance alone.~Alexander Pope
Today the Moon is Void of Course from 5.01 am EST USA until 7.03 am. If you’re in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or signing contracts during this time.

Turning a corner
With a new Moon today it’s a time for new beginnings and refreshing your goals. Mercury moves forward in the heavens helping improve communication. Relationships are still a bit wobbly but are slowly stabilizing. Stand your ground as necessary – and ground your idealism in order to achieve productive change. Spiritual deepening is possible especially in forms of physical expression that have a spiritual component. The very heart of yoga practice is ‘abyhasa’ – steady effort in the direction you want to go.~Sally Kempton

Theme: Somewhat better
It is still not a great time to move forward with big plans for worldly gains, but if needed, this is a better day than recent ones. The Moon unites with Jupiter, which improves one’s sense of well-being, and relationships, especially with women. Intuition is at a high point for the next two weeks, which helps with healing the past and planning for the future. Step out of the history that is holding you back. Step into the new story you are willing to create.~Oprah Winfrey
The following is a short section of heart advice from His Holiness Penor Rinpoche at New York Retreat in Upstate New York:
At night before you go to sleep, visualize that Guru Padmasambhava, non-dual with the root teacher, melts into your central channel, and abides in your heart. Then from the Guru’s body light radiates and your whole body is filled with light. Have devotion, faith and confidence. Concentrate one’s mind on that. And then go to sleep. And in that way, you can carry on this practice.

Theme : Share your Feelings
This is not a good day to make (rational) decisions. Your thinking is strongly influenced by your feelings, as indicated by the Moon in Scorpio next to Mercury. Verbalizing your emotions comes easily though. So have it out with everyone around you-LOL! But seriously, as emotional communication comes naturally, relationships continue to bring the unexpected. Past and future concerns are highlighted. A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone ‘s feelings unintentionally.~ Oscar Wilde
