Theme: Moving slowly

With the Moon now in Pisces the pace of life slows a little giving you time and space to contemplate and reflect using inner qualities – spiritually and creatively – to do so. The Moon is conjunct the Sun bringing an alignment to your purpose. You feel more supported and can take heart. Your planet of communication, Mercury, is sextile Uranus providing a spark of originality today. It’s a good time to explore and utilize technologies.

In this world where is love? Have you seen any? We see romance. We’re all waiting to exhale aren’t we? But if you really examine the world, have you ever seen love without the hook on the end? Almost never. It’s hardly ever in the world.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Connecting to compassion

As Mercury pulls away from Saturn you are less rigid in your thinking. Even so, Mercury in Pisces takes more time to distill the meaning behind communications. Sometimes you have to let information come to the surface before making decisions. With Neptune conjunct the north node personal alignment includes inner alignment with your inner compassionate nature, compassion for yourself and all beings.

According to the Buddha’s teaching, happiness is only the result of kindness and concern for the welfare of others. That’s the only way to get it.~Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Breaking out of the mold

With any planet in Aquarius always expect the unexpected. Today the Moon is in Aquarius. The day doesn’t turn out quite as planned. Nevertheless, with the continuing influence of Saturn in the astrological mix much is accomplished by moving steadily forward. The Moon is also close to Pluto today bringing up deep unconscious feelings to the surface.

Who is Guru Rinpoche? It is none other than your mind. Yes, your mind is always with you.~Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

Theme: Application

With the planet of communication, Mercury conjunct Saturn, planning is important. You can attend to details and also complete tasks and projects through applying yourself. The Moon in Capricorn reinforces this emphasis on the practical and also applying logic in situations. The Moon is sextile Saturn and the timing is good for establishing new patterns and rituals. There remains a strong Piscean influence. Take the opportunity to be of genuine service to others while taking time for inner reflection.

Bodhicitta transforms disturbing emotions, suffering and fear, and sickness and death into a path to enlightenment.~Khunu Lama Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course from 10.28pm until 12:40am the next day. Avoid signing contracts or starting major projects. Time spent in contemplation during this period brings good results.

Theme: Pause to reflect

The Moon has moved into Sagittarius so outwardly there is lots to explore and be curious about. It’s also the sign of the idealist. What are your ideals? Inwardly you can explore new ways of connecting to your inner spiritual path. The Moon is conjunct Juno highlighting close relationships and the way they can expand our view of our selves. The north node remains conjunct Neptune directing us towards a more spiritual/service oriented place. The vertex, close to Saturn, is momentarily offsetting challenges created by Saturn in Pisces. The challenges include developing viable boundaries and identifying our inner autocrat that cuts us off from our feeling and compassion.

A past thought is like a dead corpse, and future thoughts are as yet unborn. And what is this present thought in the middle of nowhere? Can you control it or hold on to it? No… it’s ephemeral. ~HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Theme: Taking the waters

With four planets in the water sign of Pisces plus the Moon in Scorpio today you are definitely being immersed in activity today. Sometimes it feels like being dunked, other times like stepping into the gentle flow of daily life. Until Saturn leaves Pisces (early next year) there will be challenges to giving form to structures. It helps to spend more time in contemplation as the solutions to challenges are also spiritual in nature and bound up with completing a karmic cycle.

Luke, you’re going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view. ~Obi-Wan

Theme: Welcome to Sun in Pisces

The Sun has moved into Pisces today bringing a focus on giving rise to compassionate heart, dealing with illusion and disillusion, and purifying karmic debts. It is a water sign so the focus ison connecting with feelings. It’s also an opportunity to spiritually deepen. Equally, it can lead to escapism. There are both light and shadow signs to each sign. The Moon is in Scorpio today complimenting the Sun in Pisces: both are water signs. With the sign of Scorpio, as the saying goes, still waters run deep. Scorpio invites us to plumb the depths of our psyche in order to avoid our own emotional pitfalls.

Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it.~Bruce Lee

Theme: The last days of Aquarius

Take advantage of the Sun in the last couple of days in Aquarius and focus on group activity that is of most benefit to society and your local community. At this time you can be innovative and expansive in your goals. Mars continues retrograde in Cancer signaling a time of frustration in achieving outward goals. Disruption to plans and pent up energy can lead to difficulty. Inwardly it’s important to explore your inner combatant, your reactivity and how you repress or thwart yourself.

If we can accept our imperfections as they are, quite ordinarily, then we can use them as part of the path. But if we try to get rid of our imperfections, then they will be enemies, obstacles on the road to our ‘self improvement.’~Chogyam Trungpa

The Moon is Void of Course from 6.24am until 7.19pm. Avoid signing major contracts at this time. Take the day in a contemplative spirit.

2/13/2025 Thursday by Wangmo

Theme: Tidy up!

With the Moon in Virgo you can attend to the details of daily life including cleaning your home or work spaces to help bring clarity to your mind. There will be a point today where you feel challenged and frustrated as the Moon opposes Saturn. This is a passing moment that is the result of past actions. Mercury is in the last degrees of Aquarius, so still time to have flashes of insight with this placement.

To understand how delusion arises, practice watching your mind. Begin by simply letting it relax. Without thinking of the past or the future, without feeling hope or fear about this thing or that, let it rest comfortably, open and natural. In this space of the mind, there is no problem, no suffering. ~Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche

Astrology for 2/12/2025 Wednesday by Wangmo

Theme: Press that pause button

With Mercury opposite the Moon today it’s wise to be frugal with your speech and definitely pause before you speak when feeling strongly reactive. Count sheep, possums or recite mantra to give yourself some space. Also, for a variety of astrological reasons you’re more tense than usual so keep an open mind around sudden events that demand your attention. With Mars trine Saturn discipline and perseverance are very helpful in moving forward. Even delays are fortuitous at this time.

Single pointed concentration is beautiful…a healing practice.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is Void of Course from 2:12pm to 8:07pm so avoid undertaking major activities, including signing contracts, at this time.
