Theme: Turning Adversity into Felicity

The Moon conjuncts Saturn and can bring with it a sense of pessimism or depression. Even spending time in groups can amplify feelings of separateness because your convictions are strong and may not align with others. At the same time you have dynamic energy available to reach important goals. Spiritual retreat could be very beneficial today.

It’s not that I’m smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.

~Albert Einstein

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST 3.19am – 11.49am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Inquisitive Moments

With the Sun moving into Gemini and being conjunct Mercury (the ruler of Gemini) the focus of the day is extremely mercurial! Creative energy and ideas abound. There’s an air of excitement, many plans to think about, chatting with friends, enjoyable social interchange. Mercury is always changeable and loves freedom but can have difficulty sustaining any project. There’s a tendency to be scattered so you may have to work hard to stay focused.

If we investigate carefully, we may find that our daily life is in fact no more tangible than a dream.

~Gyatrul Rinpoche

Theme: Easy Communications

Enjoy a day of inner peace, serenity and ease of communication with old friends. You can express your feelings openly and sincerely, listening with sympathy to others. It’s a day to enjoy group activities, particularly of a humanitarian nature. It’s a good time to take a weekend trip and to consider plans for the future.

Where you go, go with all your heart.
~ Confucius

Theme: Seeking clarity

As Mercury moves retrograde towards the Sun it is more difficult to stand back and see things dispassionately. However, this aspect also gives more focus, and with Mercury sextile Jupiter there is more learning and engagement with beneficial and expansive projects. With both the Sun and Moon in earth signs there is a groundedness to the day, and a little whimsy with the Moon in good aspect to Neptune.

As a rule, indeed, grown-up people are fairly correct on matters of fact; it is in the higher gift of imagination that they are so sadly to seek.~Kenneth Grahame

Theme: Merging realities

With Mars and Neptune exactly conjunct it’s a case of marrying the ordinary with the extraordinary. One the one hand Mars helps us deal with the basic necessities of life to survive and on the other hand Neptune helps us see the spaces in between ordinary reality and other realities. We need to have good boundaries to deal with this other world and Mars can help with that also. The downside is (and there’s always one) is that energetically we can feel a bit depleted and prone to unusual illnesses- so it’s good not to push yourself too hard.

Love and the gracious heart are a single thing…one can no more be without the other than the reasoning mind without its reason.~Dante Alighieri

Theme: Optimism

With the Moon moving into Sagittarius optimism is coupled with idealism injecting new energy into activities. You feel more direction and insight into your circumstances. You can heal the way you relate to others at this time. Energy levels continue to fluctuate so don’t push the envelope. When obstacles appear normal ways of handling them don’t work – but spiritual practice, reflection and meditation do!

Listening, contemplation and meditation are the way to tame a rough and unruly mind.~The Kamapa

Theme: Super Flower Blood Moon Eclipse

This is the day that the Buddha was born. It is a day that most Buddhists observe precepts, practice meditation and keep away from sensual worldly life. Whether Buddhist or not, it is a day suited to peaceful pursuits, retreat, fasting and praying. During a lunar eclipse the effects of positive and negative actions are multiplied a thousand times.

Phases of the Moon do in fact stimulate various bodily actions like modifying metabolism, electrical charges and blood acidity.
~ Study from Yale and Duke universities

Theme: Energetic Day

The Moon moves into Scorpio today which can bring an intensity of emotions and reactions. With two planets in Aries as well you will have more focus and energy than you have had in awhile. A good time to join friends and community in outdoor projects.
Gardening could be top of the list with all this spring fervor.

The earth laughs in flowers.
~ Emerson

The Moon is Void of course today between EST 4:07am and 6:34am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Black Friday

A conflictual situation might arise, where what you would really like to do is restricted by responsibilities. But you are able to persevere under considerable adversity, which builds patience and reserve. You may well find yourself shouldering the load alone. Be mindful of your health as your energy may be quite low.

Responsibility is the ability to respond.
~Lucille Ball
