Theme: Expanding your mind

The Sun is square Saturn bringing contraction into your life – and reinforcing the need at this time to work within existing structures. The Moon in Capricorn is comfortable with this scenario and achieving practical outcomes. At the same time, Jupiter is opposite Mercury, expanding our minds and horizons, and drawing our gaze upwards to bigger vistas. In other word this aspect invites us to lift our gaze and see that we are part of a greater tapestry.

It is an extraordinary privilege to be accorded a human life, with self-reflexive consciousness that brings awareness of our own actions and the ability to make choices. It lets us choose to take part in the healing of our world.~Roshi Joan Halifax

Theme: Diligence pays off

With the Vertex conjunct Saturn today, effort is rewarded. Saturn is currently in the sign of Pisces, which is concerned more with spirituality and connecting to the divine, rather than real life, the concern of Saturn. Saturn in Pisces, therefore, makes it harder than usual to create structure and set boundaries. This can make ordinary life more challenging including fulfilling contractual obligations. Mercury is retrograde until the 15th of December making it even more important to ensure the fine print is understood.

Look at how your belief in a self determines almost every word coming from your mouth, every move you make, every thought you think. To look in this way is to practice mindfulness.~Phakchok Rinpoche
