Month: November 2023

Theme: Action

Most of the dynamic energy that has been present the last two days continues today. We have the power to carry out acts of compassion. We can make a big difference in the world now. The Moon is in Aquarius for two more days. The second half of the day is particularly Aquarian, as the Moon squares Uranus. We tend to be rebellious to the point of missing out on what is beneficial. The practice of patience is helpful.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them at least don’t hurt them. ~H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Serving Others

Neptune is in a powerful place, trining the Sun and Mars for a couple more days. This is not a time to work solely for ourselves. We will be idealistic and have the energy to sacrifice our needs to serve others. Just be sure that the effort is wisely used. Some will try to take advantage of kindnesses. The morning is particularly potent with the Moon conjunct Pluto. They both harmonize with the Sun and Mars.

If we really knew the truth of suffering, there would not be one moment that we did not practice with the utmost compassion. ~ Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course today from 3:29 am until 6:29 am EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Power

The Sun and Mars are almost exactly united and now will harmonize with Pluto for several days. This is a time when new courses of action are evident. We will have the power to carry them out now. We will be most effective if we are thinking of the common good. There is also a yod (“finger of God”) with Jupiter at the apex with Mercury and Venus included. This is a time of expanding our consciousness concerning religion, philosophy and foreign places.

If you want to test a man’s character give him power. ~Abraham Lincoln

Theme: Balance

With the Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Capricorn there is elemental harmony that provides stability for the next two days. Mars is still within a cats whisker of the Sun so continue to exercise caution physically and continue to be conscious of how to antidote any arising anger. Generosity towards others is also a helpful antidote to anger/ego. Mars is also trine Neptune allowing you to access a more nuanced understanding of energy flow, that when harnessed to spiritual understanding, results in more beneficial outcomes.

Theme: Believing

With the new Moon now in Sagittarius your ideals matter where they inspire optimism and hope. You can be adventurous and push the envelope about expanding your perspective. There is more ease in communicating with others and generally relating better with others. Mars is pulling away from the Sun reducing the optimum conditions for war and conflict. You still have to be aware of your physical well being. Exercise patience.

As we develop awareness, we get a better understanding of the very subtle thoughts that constantly shift the mind into nonawareness.~Khandro Rinpoche

Theme: Not boring

There are so many different energetic aspects today that it’s hard to know which aspects will be in ascendancy. You will need to be mindful today of the relationship between your strong emotions and your physical health. Slow down and avoid giving into anger. There will be disruption today with Uranus opposite the Sun and Moon. The Moon trine Neptune gives you vital space for reflection and contemplation. The new moon ushers in new beginnings so turning over a new leaf or starting a new activity is supported at this time.

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 6:03pm until 9:23pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Continually meditate upon devotion, renunciation, love, compassion, and the supreme mind of enlightenment, bodhicitta.~ Jamyang Khytense Chokyi Lodro

Theme: Deep Answers

The Moon has joined the Sun and Mars in Scorpio today, and the new Moon occurs early tomorrow. We are looking to get to the bottom of things. This is an excellent time for research. The depressive square energy between Mercury and Saturn is separating and we are more optimistic. The Moon is opposite Jupiter during the first half of the day. We are generous, but also self-indulgent. Beware of over doing today.

The outer and inner nature of phenomena is primordially pure emptiness, and from that state of emptiness anything can arise. ~H H Drubwang Penor Rinpoche

Theme: Surprises

The Sun is united with Mars for several days, and they both are in opposition to Uranus. Expect the unexpected, especially in one-on-one encounters. There is restlessness in the air, and be careful driving and operating machinery. Ultimately these next few days are about becoming freer, more authentically ourselves. Mercury has entered Sagittarius for the next 3 weeks, bringing some optimism to balance the seriousness of the Sun and Mars in Scorpio.

The surprise is that you continue to be surprised. ~Jill A Davis
