Theme: Struggle or Transformation?

The sparks will fly for several more days as the challenge between Mars, our conscious drive, and Pluto, our subconscious one, continues. It is easy to have disagreements on the local and global level. Today we are blessed as the Moon, our emotions, is stable in Taurus. But passions are high as Jupiter and Pluto are in the mix. It is a good day for working out an agreement, until the Moon goes void of course at 4:36 pm EDT until 3:58 am the next day. Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. ~Moliere

Theme: An Intra-Galactic Day

With the Moon conjuncting Uranus today expect something out of the ordinary and more exciting than usual. Uranus also rules the innovative aspect of the sciences so whenever Uranus is triggered so are new discoveries. Today it could be self-discovery day! Above all be flexible. The tight aspects between Mars and Pluto and  Mars and Jupiter respectively also means tension and difficulty can be offset by developing confidence and energy. You can thrive in the face of challenges with the tools of co-operation and patience. Just as gardens are not to be found growing in midair, All the bounties of the higher realms and liberation, Will never be yours as long as you lack moral discipline, So with mindfulness, awareness and caution, control your mind.~His Eminence Jigme Phuntsok

Theme: Being aware

With the Moon in Aries a difficult aspect to Pluto and Sun/Mars is triggered, so take a deep breath and be aware of emotional and physical challenges today, challenges that ask you to reach deeply into your inner reservoirs. Do not force anything but rather exercise discernment in undertakings.  Sometimes life is a balancing act and today may be one of those days. With Venus in Sagittarius and the Sun in Libra there is an extra layer of overall optimism when dealing with challenges. Think big. Humanitarian action is more than simple generosity, simple charity. It aims to build spaces of normalcy in the midst of what is abnormal.~Dr James Orbinski, Doctors without Borders

Theme: Breathe a sigh of relief

With Mercury going direct today communication obstacles clear and forward movement on projects resumes without the headache of details that get lost in translation. Moreover, the Moon moves into Aries inspiring us to get things done with enthusiasm and energy. Other planetary energy also results in a boost to the mantra – get it done! We have more insight to what makes us emotionally tick. Healing happens when we face our fears. If you want to know the end, look at the beginning.~African proverb

The Moon is Void of Course today until 6.04am EDT. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Delusion or Wisdom

With the Moon and Neptune together in the middle of the day, we are all influenced by mystical energy. We will be more sensitive to the moods of others for better or for worse. Our imagination is enhanced, but will we be misled or mislead others? It is best to plan on some quiet time for prayer and meditation. Compassionate action should be carefully considered: does the person really want help crossing the street?  It is within the nature to reveal to yourself the place that is beyond conceptualization… underneath conceptualization… like the crystal under the dust. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo. With the Sun and Pluto at the pinnacle of a 90 degree angle, violence is more likely than usual.

The Moon is void of course from 7:25 pm until 6:05 am the next day. It is best not to make big decisions during this time.

Theme: Sentimental and Indulgent

The Moon is in Pisces for a few days. We have heightened sensitivity, and the potential to empathize with other sentient beings in general. With Venus at a challenging angle to Moon our emotions can be fixated on the past, and we can pursue comforts to excess. The Sun is separating from Mars now which makes patience come a bit easier. Jupiter will join Mercury on Monday in moving forward again, and soon achievements in the outward world will follow. Many people think that patience is a sign of weakness. I think that is a mistake. It is anger that is a sign of weakness, whereas patience is a sign of strength. ~H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Mostly Nice

Two new “nice” aspects of the planets, Sun and Moon occur today. The Moon, our emotions, unites with the generous energy of Jupiter, and harmonizes with the Sun, especially in the first half of the day. Also Mercury and Venus are buddies for several days, which enhances our communication within our relationships. We still have to deal with potential power struggles. These turn out better for those with good ethics. Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead. Walk beside me… just be my friend. ~Albert Camus

The Moon is void of course from 8:34 am until 10:23 pm EDT. It is best to not make big decisions during that time.

Theme: Communicating about feelings

During the middle of the day we are able to listen empathetically and share our own feelings more easily than usual. The Sun, our sense of purpose, is receiving a mix of energy. Broad-minded Jupiter is supporting our activities, but relentless Pluto is challenging us at the same time. Be aware that we can be called on any behavior that is not properly ethical as the next several days play out. Mercury retrograde ends Monday, and it will be safe to start new things a few days later. The best and most beautiful things cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. ~Helen Keller

Theme: Reinventing yourself

With the Moon conjunct Pluto once a month, including today, it’s an opportunity to investigate the sources of your deeply ingrained habits and, in that process, shed deeply ingrained habits. Venus in Sagittarius continues to bring a welcome ‘quaff’ of optimism. Tempers are turned down after being turned up and the Moon moves into Aquarius, the sign of friendship, freedom,  innovative change and societal transformation. If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people.~Chinese proverb

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT 6.53pm and 4:47pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
