Theme: Communication habits

With Mercury square the Moon today you’ll be forgiven for wishing to hold your tongue. The unpredictability of communications is the cause. However, as the situation is fluid repairs can always be made. Mercury is also moving towards Uranus bringing an underlying pressure to change the way you communicate. It can also mean sudden unexpected ruptures in communication. There is always a saving grace and this time the Sun in Gemini shines upon all communication conundrums and keeps the communication situation flexible enough to find the middle ground.

When our mind is disturbed by strong emotions, we’re no longer lucid and peaceful, and our perceptions are distorted. When our mind is calm like a peaceful lake, we reflect things as they are.~Thich Nhat Hahn

Theme: Deepening

With the Moon approaching Pluto today, conjunct in Aquarius, there is an opportunity to reflect on your routines, emotions and intentions: change and innovation are friends at this time. While the Sun has moved past Jupiter and Venus , there is still the ambience of optimism that pervades the space, notwithstanding that in the sign of Gemini changes in direction are inevitable. Mars is conjunct Chiron reminding you that forward movement can be impeded by past emotional wounds.

It is such a mistake to assume that practicing dharma will help us calm down and lead an untroubled life; nothing could be further from the truth. Dharma is not a therapy. Quite the opposite, in fact; dharma is tailored specifically to turn your life upside down-it’s what you sign up for.~Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 4.42pm until 4:45am. 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: Over-expansion

There are lots of beneficial outcomes with Jupiter conjunct Venus, bringing forth meritorious causes and conditions. But also, with Jupiter involved it can also indicate over-expansion, going too far and, with respect to the ego, thereby over-estimating one’s own capacities. The Moon has moved into Sagittarius and Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter adding a double dose of Jupiterian expansionism to the next couple of days – which could simply mean over-estimating the amount of cake you can eat. Jupiter is activated most beneficially when humanitarian and education goals are harnessed for good.

Mindfulness requires that we bring all our attention to whatever we’re doing, whether walking or breathing, brushing our teeth, or eating a snack.~Thich Nhat Hahn

Theme: Expansion, Contraction, Integration

With the beneficial aspect of Venus and Jupiter to the Sun there is an accompanying expansion of view and seeing that you are part of a whole. Daily life however can bring you down to earth with the minutiae and challenges of dealing with the nitty gritty, and the natural cycles of coming together and coming apart. The challenge is to integrate daily activities with a greater perspective of how both are link – both the Moon and it’s daily rituals and work ethic, and the Sun with its inherent life sustaining purpose.

Know contentment And you will suffer no discrace, Know when to stop And you will meet with no danger You can then endure.~Lao Tzu

Theme: Sparkle, Arkle

With Venus, Jupiter and Sun in close conjunction there is beauty to be found within oneself and outside oneself in the world around you. The elements are more harmonious and good outcomes are more accessible. The Moon in Scorpio brings an intensity and investigative quality to actions today. Sun trine Pluto adds to the investigation and provides more insight into habits and patterns that trip you up and enables you to draw on your inner resilience.

We have to look deeply to see how we grow our food, so we can eat in ways that preserve our collective well-being, minimize our suffering and the suffering of other species, and allow the Earth to continue to be a source of life for all of us.~Thich Nhat Hahn

Astrology for 5/20/2024 Monday

Theme: Mercurial!

The Sun has entered Gemini bringing a swiftness to engagements, communications, journeys and writing – not to mention increased activities with siblings. The Twins represent Gemini and embody both the light and dark aspects of the sign -the bright and sunny side – and the more hidden and shadowy, changeable sides to the sign. So always be prepared for sudden shifts in direction during this month either from people or via events.

All that we are looking for in life – all the happiness, contentment, and peace of mind – is right here in the present moment. Our very own awareness is itself fundamentally pure and good.~Mingyur Rinpoche

Theme: Free flowing ideas

Ideas flow freely with Mercury trine the Moon today. It’s easier to hear what others are saying, express your feelings, and feel heard. The Moon is also square the Sun which produces tension, and this yet offers another kind of opportunity in finding new ways to express yourself and break from old emotional patterns. Jupiter exerts its influence on both the Sun and Moon offering glimpses into expanding your horizons and concept of self.

To understand just one life you have to swallow the world …Salman Rushdie

Theme: Squaring the circle

The Moon squares a potent group of planets today – Venus, Uranus, Sun and Jupiter – who are in turn bouncing off one another. So it’s a powerful, and emotionally deep day in many ways. It helps to find time for reflection and contemplation in order to understand how you are being pulled in different directions and how, in turn you can find your center. Pluto has begun to go retrograde for the last time this year so those with planets in early Aquarius/late Capricorn in particular will have an opportunity to integrate this intense, yet transformative time.

At all times, do not lose courage in your inner awareness, uplift yourself, while assuming a humble position in your outer demeanor… Place everyone, good, bad, and in-between, above yourself.~HH Dudjom Rinpoche

Theme: Testing, yet freeing times times

With the Sun and Uranus still in a very tight conjunction you get a better understanding of freedom and it’s ingredients. The pressure Uranus exerts on the Sun asks for some self-sacrifice and separation, and in that process you develop a better understanding of how freedom is linked to change, and visa versa. It’s also a good time for dealing with electrical issues and projections requiring precision. The Moon in Leo invites creativity, play and how you express dignity into your daily life for the next couple of days.

The real prostration is to meditate. Watch the mind and go out and help sentient beings.~Kyabje Thinley Norbu Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 5.13am until 6:36am. 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: Quickening

With the new Moon in Gemini transactions, communications and short-distance travel speeds up. Conversation is easier but not necessarily deep. Boredom is the enemy of Gemini energy so activity generally is on the cards. Saturn squares the Moon providing emotional bumps: try not to withdraw from others but self-examine the causes of feeling separated. The Sun and Venus in Taurus continue to provide a steadying influence.

Only when we come home to ourselves and get in touch with ourselves can we really see ourselves and others and be in touch with the world around us.~Thich Nhat Hahn
