Theme: The Aging of Aquarians

Belated (second day of Sun in Aquarius) happy birthday to all Aquarians! We will all feel this friendly but detached energy, especially in the second half of the day with the new Moon, uniting with the Sun. We will continue with a restrained and practical approach to our close relationships. And the Mars-Mercury 150 degree angle indicates some frustration and feistiness in our communication.

The feminine is on the rise, Intuitive express and completely divine. The age of Aquarius has met our souls, We’ve come to dance earth bound to re create this world. ~ Nikki Rowe

The Moon is void of course today from 10:53 am until 1:30 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Practical and Restrained

We are finishing the powerful Pluto-Sun transit, but can have both the good, in depth investigation, and the bad, power struggles, for one more day. For the next several days we are experiencing Venus conjunct Saturn. We will look at our relationships with a practical consideration, and may find some of them lacking. We will be able to work with limited resources, and practice moderation with comforts. Still be careful in thought and communication. Mercury will be moving quickly forward in a week.

A reasonable man need only to practice moderation to find happiness. ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Theme: Harmony

With harmonious aspects between the Sun and Jupiter there is more opportunity for beneficial outcomes in education and justice related issues. You will have more energy and motivation today. The sextile between Moon and Pluto brings a certain amount of courage in better understanding your motivations and habits. 

Happiness is to recognize what we already have.~17th Karmapa

Theme: Developing insight

With the Sun very close to Pluto today and tomorrow expect some insights into your unconscious patterns of behavior. This conjunction can dredge up old and deep behavioral habits which are probably long overdue for inspection. In other words it’s a good time to clean up your act! The Moon moves into Sagittarius today bringing the bigger picture into focus – and more optimism.

Be meticulous a about cause and effect, and what you adopt or avoid.~Dudjom Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 9.27am until 12:33pm the next day. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Letting go

The transit of Sun conjunct Pluto is an opportunity to let go of deeply ingrained habits and unconscious patterns that undermine you. The only battle to lose is the one with your ego. The transit of the Moon in Scorpio opposite Uranus creates unexpected stress and tension today. Knowing what you can and can’t change helps you deal with sudden challenges. Mercury is moving closer to the asteroid Hygeia bringing healing in your communications.

…we need to think of the beauty in the world, and also send our love and compassion to all beings in this world. Not just the people we like, but the people who we find difficult. Because they are very deeply in need of compassion.~Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo

Theme: Deeper

There are 2 strong indicators that we will be looking to get to the bottom of issues today. The Moon has entered Scorpio in the mid morning for a few days, and the Sun is united with Pluto for several days. We will be facing some kind of break down in our lives. And power struggles between people become more common, and some times violence occurs. Can we take advantage of this opportunity to get to deeper truths? Truth is within ourselves. There is an inmost centre in all of us, where Truth abides in fullness. ~ Mahatma Ghandi

The Moon is void of course today from 3:41 am until 7:09 am EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Serene or Irritable?

The spiritual opportunity continues today. Can we take time to pray, meditate or help others? We are looking for excitement in our close relationships, and can be impatient and ready to argue. This fight response is bolstered by Mercury inconjunct Mars for the next two weeks. But we can adjust our mind and use this energy to accomplish more than usual, and get along with others. Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. ~ Buddha

Theme: Sensitive and Compassionate

This is a peak day for sensitivity to others, with Sun exactly 60 degrees from the Neptune. We can let go of ego concerns more easily than usual and act with greater compassion. Do not miss this opportunity to pray and meditate with depth and ease as well. For the next several days we are looking for excitement in relationships, and can be unusually impatient. Finally Mars is moving forward again after 2 1/2 months retrograde, which will bring more achievements and also more outward conflict again. One of the most important and central thoughts in Buddhist philosophy is the idea of compassion. The Buddha taught that we must cultivate our lives as a vehicle to be of benefit to all sentient beings. ~ Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Prodded

With a dynamic aspect between the Moon, Venus and the North Node expect someone to cause you to shift gears rapidly; depending on your nature you will respond in different ways to this push. With Mars and Saturn in air signs there is less combativeness and competitiveness and more inclination to work more flexibly and with the group. The Moon is opposite Neptune today, making you more emotionally sensitive to others. Don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s just you, but don’t think it isn’t either. Try to avoid escapism.

I have the nerve to walk my own way, however hard, in my search for reality, rather than climb upon the rattling wagon of wishful illusions.~Zora Neale Hurston

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 6.06pm until 9:56pm the next day. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
