Theme: Possibilities

With the Full Moon opposite the Sun forming a T-square to Uranus, and the additions of Venus opposite Saturn square Jupiter expect major events and shifts today. With the involvement of Venus and Jupiter in these aspects the negative outcomes have the potential to lead to large transformations. The quiet influence of the asteroid Pallas Athena softens the T-Square, forming a Grand-Cross with the Sun, Moon and Uranus. Pallas Athena is the Warrior Queen and Goddess of wisdom and justice. In her good aspect she embodies courage and in her negative aspect, fear. She is also protectress of the State and a wise strategist.

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 2.26pm until 6:52pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Be enterprising

With Mars still closely conjunct Jupiter (but away from the tricky Moon aspect yesterday) now is the time to be enterprising and have confidence that you can progress and/or complete plans, especially those concerning study, travel and legal matters. The Moon moves into Capricorn today strengthening your focus on practical matters and achievements, including those weighing the scales of justice. As the Sun approaches Vesta matters concerning home and hearth become a focal point along with an opportunity for personal integration.

Theme: Keeping things in proportion

With the Moon opposite Jupiter conjunct Mars there is both opportunity and risk. The opportunity is there to seize the moment, and the risk is overdoing it, and succumbing to impatience and grandiosity, thereby risking the overall success of the endeavor. If you can really align your goals with your inner purpose and natural self-awareness, then there is a clearer pathway.

…harmonize our conduct with the understanding that happiness proceeds from positive deeds and suffering from negative ones.~Bokar Rinpoche

Theme: Incisive

With Mercury and Venus in Virgo there is an urge to focus on the minutiae sometimes at the expense of the bigger picture. Details have their place, and with Mercury retrograde the devil is in the detail. Thankfully with the Moon in Sagittarius there is more willingness to lift ones head and see the horizon. Details are important but so is the end goal.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.~Goethe

Theme: Investigation

With the Moon in Scorpio you can mine the inner workings of the unconscious mind to gather insights that are usually hidden from you. At this time your more likely to keep your privacy in order to contemplate your life, and also strategize which is helpful in order to make progress with challenging goals. With the Sun square Uranus there is a restlessness that invites some restraint in order to understand your motivation in order to move forward.

When strong habits confront us, we often feel we are no match for them. But the mind of practice can accommodate the full spectrum of thoughts and emotions. We must never be intimidated by our own mind.~Dzigar Kontrul Rinpoche

Theme: Harmony?

The Moon moves into Libra for the next couple of days. Libra seeks to find harmony in all things, especially relationships but the process of establishing harmony is not won overnight and before the harmony there is prevarication, contemplation and decision making to be had. Communication afflictions continue to be happily modified by the proximity of Venus to Mercury retrograde. As Mars moves closer to Jupiter you have more confidence and energy to make beneficial changes.

We have the capacity for enlightenment because our nature is the enlightened essence.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Smoothing the bumps

With the Sun sextile Jupiter and Mercury conjunct Venus there are silver linings to even the most challenging of moments, like a good fairy watching over proceedings and intervening where necessary. The dark Moon is conjunct the south node provoking past habits that are out-moded. You can pause and re-set these patterns with a view to freeing yourself from past fears and limitations.

Human beings aspire to happiness, yet they perpetuate the causes of suffering. Filling your mind with love and compassion, Vowing to dispel the suffering of all beings, Don the armor of boundless courage!~Patrul Rinpoche

Theme: Precisely

With the Moon in Virgo conjunct Mercury in Virgo attention to detail and being precise are themes. It’s also a happy earth day with the Moon in Virgo so to all gardeners and farmers today it’s especially fruitful for accomplishing plans. The Sun in Leo is less interested in Virgo detail but the energy of its sunny disposition warms up everyone. Mars square Saturn and Mercury square Uranus today add sudden events and challenges, all of which can be harnessed for good if you are flexible.

Understand that obstructing forces are your own thoughts, they arise out of your own mind.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Planting seeds and checking communication

The new Moon brings new possibilities and the best time to plant the seeds for new projects. With Mercury now retrograde but conjunct Venus there are mixed blessings in communications. On the one hand you have to continue to be mindful and double-check what was said or written, and on the other hand you have the helping hand of Venus when communications go awry, which is magnified today with the proximity of the Moon.

Understanding is a two-way street.~Eleanor Roosevelt

Theme: Home and family

With the Moon in Cancer you have a good opportunity to turn your attention to family and home, and strengthen your ability to nurture self and others. The Moon in Cancer embodies the Great Mother, that part of us which nurtures and protects others, beyond our own immediate concerns. You have the capacity to integrate the past and present at this time. Communications are eased with Mercury in good aspect to the Moon today. Relationships overall prove to be a little more tricky.

When you are at peace with yourself, you will be at peace with the world.~Khenpo Sonam Tsewang
