Theme: A steadying hand

Your responses today are more balanced and less reactive. You have more energy. There is spaciousness for generosity after feeling hemmed in, and some respite from continuing challenges. With more space comes more optimism and a larger perspective. Close relationships provide important support. We would talk, and then the whole world would come into focus.~Duke Ellington talking about his long-term musical collaborator and friend Billy Strayhorn

Theme: Initial rocky landing

With the Moon in Taurus there is more emotional tranquility and equanimity. However, there are initial emotional disruptions, owing to the passage of Moon over Uranus. This transit is coupled with some testing communication as well. Don’t let push come to shove. Being right isn’t the winning formula. There are some promising relationship connections from unexpected quarters. Challenges bring insights. Our spirituality is a oneness and an interconnectedness with all that lives and breathes, even with all that does not live and breathe.~Mudrooroo

Theme: Making Adjustments

The next few days is a time of self-correction, as indicated by the apex Sun yod. The issues involved are humanitarian and spiritual. Change what you can within yourself to get through the conflicts that arise. Major changes in the outward world are possible now. Close relationships are particularly helpful today. The Buddha Himself said that we should use logic in choosing a Teacher or a path. After that, however, you begin to rely on the teacher for everything. ~ Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Fired-up

There is nice fire element energy in the planetary sky today. We feel creative and inspired. The conflict is building between our conscious drive, Mars, and our subconscious will, Pluto. This can be a time of transforming the outer world, or a time of fierce conflicts. Self awareness is essential, as is patience and virtuous intention. Nothing is impossible. The word itself says “I’M POSSIBLE!” ~ Audrey Hepburn

8/7/2020 Friday by Jampal & Wangmo

Theme: Love and Action

After 4 months in Gemini, Venus has moved into Cancer. Love, relationships and resources are themes in a more personal and private way now. At the same time the Moon moves into Aries, and we want it done right now. This is a difficult day for self discipline, but good for social activities. The next two weeks is a high energy time, but in such a way that we find ego conflicts with others. Beware of ruthlessness during this period. Be happy to change your goals, but never change your values. ~ H H the Dalai Lama

Today the moon is void of course from 8:55 am EDT USA until 9:06 am . If you are in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or sign contracts during this time.

8/6/2020 Thursday by Jampal & Wangmo

Theme: You’re Lion

With the Sun and Mercury in Leo, the summer or winter roars on. We focus on self expression, creativity, high standards and pride. This is a peak day for prayer and meditation. Keep humble and act generously. The conflict between personal needs and responsibilities has a fortunate turn today. Love will find a way, anywhere we go. We’re home if we are there together. ~ Simba (from “The Lion King”)

8/5/2020 Wednesday by Wangmo & Jampal

Theme: Acting generously

With the Moon in Pisces there is capacity to expand one’s compassion beyond your immediate circle. The planet of communication, Mercury, has moved into the sign of Leo reducing flexibility in changing course or positions. There is an ongoing tension between one’s personal needs and commitments towards others. Today, there is the opportunity to tap into generosity including that part of you that gives, feeds and nurture others. With gentleness, overcome anger. With generosity, overcome meanness.With truth, overcome delusion.~The Dhammapada

8/4/2020 Tuesday by Wangmo & Jampal

Theme: A full plate

Today you’re limits are going to be challenged. Most people have their limits. When you’re feeling overwhelmed today friendly support from others will act as a stabilizer. The Moon is moving into the softer element of Pisces, so intuition, and emotional receptivity is highlighted for the next few days. With Mars strong in Aries there is more opportunity to access your courage. Courage is the most important of all virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.~Maya Angelou

Today the Moon is Void of Course from 5.45 pm EDT USA until 10.28 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.

8/3/2020 Monday by Wangmo & Jampal

Theme: The wish to break free

With the full Sun in Leo the drive to assert one’s self is strong. With the Sun opposite the Moon in Aquarius, the counter force is equally strong. This tension encourages us to broaden our perspective to include the whole community. In this mix comes Uranus, upending unbending patterns and behaviors. It’s a day of surprises and changing fortunes. It’s also a day to harness your mind and focus. The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.~Ida B. Wells

8/2/2020 Sunday by Jampal & Wangmo

Theme: Supressed Emotions

As the Moon moves from ambitious Capricorn to detatched Aquarius, feelings are not easy to access. Yet our thinking is still focused on personal matters: home and family. Disruptions, unexpected events and sudden separations continue for the next three days. We should try and keep our minds light and expansive. Isolating from others is not recommended during this period. A day without laughter is a day wasted. ~ Charlie Chaplin

Today the moon is void of course from 9:59 am EDT USA until 2:11 pm . If you are in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or sign contracts during this time.
