Theme: Beauty and Transcendence

The conjunction of Venus and Neptune has great potential for selfless love. This will support prayer, meditation and compassionate activities for 5 more days. But it can also indicate disappointment in a close relationship. Are your ideals too high? This combination of planets is very good for creative endeavors as well. Generally this is a time of humanitarian action and spiritual pursuits of all kinds.

We have to develop the habit of putting some spaciousness into our minds in order to accomplish spaciousness at the time of our death. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Enquiring mind

Mercury conjunct Pluto conjunct gives you investigative prowess and an ability to play detective into your own psychological machinations. Resulting insights help you avoid any tendencies to self-sabotage. Saturn is now trine Mars giving discipline to actions you take and steps to move forward. Plus it’s the New Moon, always a time to begin planning, start new projects and set intentions – and have more of a clear mind to do so.

It is in impatience that you waste the most energy! Calmness and patience strengthen vitality and prolong life … ~HH Dalai Lama

The Moon is Void of Course from 6.29am until 5.52pm. It’s a slower moving day and an opportunity for inner work and contemplation. Avoid signing contracts or starting major projects.

Theme: Aquarian theme

Not only is the Sun in Aquarius but so is the Moon, Mercury and of course, now Pluto. It’s a day focused on society, community and definitions of freedom and rule breaking. Aquarius also brings innovation and friendships into the equation. Venus moves every closer to Neptune asking us to connect with heart-felt compassion. It’s a conjunction that reminds us we are not separate from one another.

A path is created by walking. It doesn’t just appear. You have to move.~Nigerian proverb

Theme: Watching the Mind

It’s another good day to watch your mind as it’s more likely to be colored by your emotions today. It’s good to take reflective pauses before actions. The Sun is in beneficial aspect to Jupiter shining light rays of optimism and courage in difficult societal times. Similarly Venus and Mars are in harmonious connection enabling balancing of yin and yang energy within each of us.

Do not desire to fit in. Desire to oblige yourselves to lead.~Gwendolyn Brooks

Theme: Thinking wisely

As the Moon in Capricorn approaches Mercury conjunct Pluto you can put your mind to the test by dealing with challenging conundrums. Nothing is simple yet progress is made with effort: effort brings results. The Moon is also opposite Mars highlighting our sore points with others, but insights are made during these mirror-like times with others.

If we are at peace, friends, at ease with ourselves, it takes a lot to make us upset with other people; but if we are not at ease within ourselves, if we don’t really feel happy with ourselves, if we are very critical of ourselves, if we are tense within ourselves, then anything will spark our anger, and it will just flare up.~Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo

Theme: Love and Discipline

On the one hand our emotions,and subconscious are cold and ambitious because the Moon is in Capricorn for a few days. On the other hand Venus is uniting with Neptune for the next week. This enhances our love and idealism. The Sun is also harmonizing with Jupiter which makes us lucky in our endeavors. The only danger is that we may idle our time away, just enjoying the good feelings, instead of making the most of positive opportunities.

To me compassion is not a feeling at all. It is not an emotion. It is logical. It is meaningful. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course today from 4:41 am until 8:44 am EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Checking connections

There is more focus on your close partnerships today. Venus, the planet of relationships, is moving away from the confines and boundaries of Saturn towards the more idealized, romantic tendrils of Neptune. However, Venus conjunct Neptune is also productive for meditation and contemplation. It’s not a big decision-making today but it is a day to nurture and heal yourself and your relationships.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.~Albert Einstein

The Moon is Void of Course from 7:03pm to 11:29 pm. Avoid major activities and signing contracts. Take time for contemplation and reflection

Theme: Count to ten…

Mercury is opposite Mars for the next few days so you’re more likely to speak before thinking. To help with your reactivity count to ten if you are having a reaction to what someone said or did. The Moon is in Scorpio which bestows resilience; it also means emotions are more hidden so the underlying causes of peoples motivations are harder to discern. The Sun is edging away from Pluto and Venus from Saturn, loosening restrictions.

Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears.~Gillian Anderson

Theme: Exacting

The Sun is exactly conjunct Pluto today so expect more challenging news. Transforming your view and empowering yourself and others is possible with the aspect, especially with the placement of the Sun and Pluto in the sign of Aquarius which encompasses your community and society at large. The Moon has moved into Scorpio intensifying the energy in combination with the Pluto/Moon conjunction. It’s important to ‘know thyself’ in order to change and challenge the status quo in your own psyche and society at large.

The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune’s spite; revive from ashes and rise.~Miguel de Cervantes

The Moon is Void of Course until 11:20am. Avoid signing contracts. Don’t sweat the small stuff but enjoy and enact the adage, small is beautiful.

Theme: Counterbalance

With the Sun transiting Pluto, an annual event, there is an intensity and sobering quality to the day. Forcible change is one facet of this transit, forcing a change that can ultimately lead to transformation if the situation is harnessed for good at a societal level. In other words it’s what one does in response that matters most. The Vertex is between these two planets signifying a fated or karmic quality to this aspect, including important destined relationships. The Moon is Libra today which is good for adjudicating matters, and making informed decisions.

Contesting power […] is inevitable in the pursuit of justice and dignity for the marginalised and excluded.~Amitabh Behar
