Theme: Staying the course
With the Sun square Saturn it’s two steps forward and one step back. Even though progress is challenged by various obstacles do not give up heart. Effort is effort and somewhere along the line results do materialize. The Sun is also conjunct Mercury bringing a flurry of messages and communications. This aspect, bestows confidence and yet invites you to see that when decisions are connected to your inner purpose they bear more fruit. The Moon has moved into Aquarius bringing a more breezy, airy, social quality to your day.
When we begin to practice meditation, we’re always surprised how fast the mind runs. Yet even though it seems to be running very fast, it’s actually slowing down “like a stream running down a steep mountain”. This describes the experience of beginning meditators very well…their thoughts are boisterous, and they keep coming and going without cessation. ~Khenpo brothers
