Theme: Insightful moments

The Moon is conjunct Pluto today bringing psychological insights through investigating truthfully, the basis for your feelings and responses. This aspect coupled with Sun sextile Pluto means you’re more likely to speak your mind. How this is received is another matter! The Sun is conjunct Mercury bringing news through your initiation of ideas and plans. Younger people are your allies today. The Sun is also conjunct Venus making auspicious connections through relationships. This aspect is often accompanied by a celebration.

Do not burst into anger while others do nonsense. Do not let your afflictive emotions increase. It’s important to stay with a firm mind.~HH Penor Norbu Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course between 11:01 and 11.25am. Avoid major projects and signing contracts.

Theme: Explore

The Moon is in Sagittarius today giving the green light to exploration and adventure. You don’t have to go far to experience an environment that expands your horizons and get you thinking about the big picture. Sagittarius is a fire sign so optimism is one of its signatures. Mercury retrograde continues to move towards Venus creating a silver lining in communications and relationships.

You do not see as the Buddha sees, with a mind that is natural, uncontrived, and relaxed. You do not know the natural state-your own Nature that is beneath the conceptualizations you force upon it.~Her Eminence Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Making space

With the Sun conjunct Neptune conjunct Venus there is the promise of recognition of your own true nature. The normal barriers are down allowing wisdom to arise. Finding space and solitude assists with this enterprise. The Moon moves into Sagittarius later in the day bringing attention to the wider world .Neptune conjunct Venus shows us that the beauty in small and large moments can be transforming.

The main result of solitude is that pointless activities naturally diminish.~ Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Dissolving clinging to self

The Sun is conjunct Neptune. Your sense of self and purpose is less concrete and ego borders are softened. It’s an opportunity for reflection in identifying the barriers to connecting with your true spiritual nature. It can also be a more confusing time as the material day to day world is more challenging than usual. It is also an aspect that, in its negative form, can signal self-deception and escapism. With Mercury Retrograde it’s even more important to be conscious of how you are communicating. The good thing is that Mercury is moving closer to Venus which is a handy offset to difficulties in relationships with others.

Cultivating a kind mind is the best and most important thing we can ever do. It is the most precious endeavor we can dedicate ourselves to. It will always benefit both ourselves and others. It will benefit all sentient beings that come in contact with us at all times, now matter how near or far away they are.~Khandro Kunga Bhuma Rinpoche

Water themes.

The Moon has moved into Scorpio complimenting the Piscean Sun: both Pisces and Scorpio are water signs. Feelings both deep and superficial swim more actively in the mind, bringing a variety of emotions to the surface. Both signs are concerned with letting go, Pisces in terms of seeing beyond the ordinary to the numinous, and Scorpio in terms of letting go of past grievances in order to to be an agent of transformation and change.

But if we just look beneath the scars, the wounds we’ve experienced in life, we can rediscover that jewel, that basic, unconditional love.~ Tsoknyi Rinpoche

Theme: Total Lunar Eclipse

The Total Lunar Eclipse begins at 11:57pm ESDT USA on 13th March and is at maximum eclipse at 2.58am on the 14th of March: the entire eclipse period concludes at 6am ESDT USA on the 14th of March. If you can spend any time during this period in reflection and contemplation it will be very beneficial. Virtuous acts are magnified during this time. Likewise, negative acts are also magnified so it’s an entreaty to mindfulness, compassion and ethical behavior during this period. The Sun is also conjunct the north node, and likewise the Moon is conjunct the south node, focusing your attention on your life purpose and the path of most benefit in your development.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.~The Buddha

The Moon is Void of Course from 1:47pm until 2:59pm ESDT USA. Undertake small tasks and avoid signing contracts or beginning new undertakings. Time resting and reflecting during this period is time well-spent.

Theme: Practical matters

With the Sun/Saturn conjunction and Moon in Virgo, you can focus on practical and achievable outcomes. The Sun in Pisces compliments the Moon in Virgo owing to the compatible elements of water and earth respectively. The earth sign of Virgo provides am earthenware bowl for the feeling and emotional realm of Pisces, thus giving form to the formless nature of water.

Without delay, whatever shakes you, immediately incorporate this into your spiritual path.~Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Theme: Growing

With the waxing moon close to full and the Moon in the sign of Virgo, planting seeds is timely whether it be seeds in the garden bed or new ways of communicating and crafting. Virgo is a practical sign focused on the importance of detail but it’s other aspects include an inner wholeness that references the self-contained sacred self. The Sun conjunct Saturn is almost exact, reinforcing the theme of steady improvement through effort. The Moon in Virgo also encourages effort.

Even if the sun were to rise from the west, the Bodhisattva has only one way.~Shunryu Suzuzuki

Theme: Steady accomplishment

Saturn is conjunct the Sun. There is no corner cutting with this aspect but if you have put in the effort there will be the reward of steady progress. Spiritual insights are more accessible with the north node conjunct Neptune. Thinking and relating go hand in hand with Mercury conjunct Venus. Communication is also improved and misunderstandings subside.

Examine thus yourself from every side. Note harmful thoughts and every futile striving. Thus it is that heroes in the Bodhisattva path apply the remedies to keep a steady mind.~Shantideva

Theme: Learning the art of play

With the Moon in Leo, play and creativity can help lift you up. Engaging with children helps with both. Neptune is reaching the end of it’s time at home in Pisces (until March 30) but is still potent, enabling you to access your inner spiritual nature and gain new insights. Most of all it is a direct link to your innate compassion. With compassion the world can keep turning.

A bodhisattva is someone who has compassion within himself or herself and who is able to make another person smile, or help someone suffer less. Everyone one of us is capable of this.~Thich Nhat Hahn
