Theme: Water element

With the Sun and Moon in the water signs, Cancer and Scorpio respectively, opportunities lie in identifying your feelings so that you are not bound by them. Instead, by acknowledging the feelings you can connect more deeply with yourself and others. Today is the height of the Mars-Uranus connection sobe mindful in your activities, including driving, working with mechanical or technological items, and physical activity.

Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing….The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for frief, for relieve, for misery, for joy.~ Pema Chodron

Theme: Receiving support

It’s a harmonious period in which you can lean to receive more including support and love from others. You have more space for joy and expressing gratitude, and more drive. Having said all of that you will feel frustrated today in juggling responsibilities and duties, and pushing too hardcan backfire. There is an opportunity with Sun square Chiron to tackle past painful events through self-honesty.

…come together and help and support one another.~Gyatrul Rinpoche

Theme: Approaches

As Mars approaches Uranus now is the time to work on stabilizing your mind at a time when the world around you may be in flux owing to the tension building between these two planets. Preparing the mind and finding ways to safely release tension, within helps resolve any impending crises. Venus in Cancer provides a cushion of compassion at this time.

Remain relaxed, without clinging or contrivance within mind’s nature, like space, free from any reference point And with the vigor of vivid, mindful awareness!~Kalu Rinpoche

Theme: Mutable moments

With the Moon moving into the earth sign of Virgo today the focus turns to attending to your daily routine and health. As an earth sign Virgo draws our attention towards practical matters and being in the natural world including caring for small animals. It’s a naturally flexible or mutable sign. With the Sun in the water sign of Cancer there is a natural fit with the Moon in Virgo, so more harmony is evident over the next few days.

I am so often struck by the dangerous narcissism fostered by spiritual rhetoric that pays so much attention to individual self-improvement and so little to the practice of love within the context of community~bell hooks

Theme: Contemplating home

With the Sun in Cancer now is the time to tend to your home environment and strengthen your ties to those you consider family. Nurturing these ties provides a web of support for you. Mercury is sextile with Jupiter, and conjuncts the Moon today in Leo bringing a light, expansive touch to connecting and communicating with others. It’s also a learning opportunity about communicating in ways that uphold the dignity of others.

…to have the dharma just strikes me as being so extraordinary. I mean, what an extraordinary privilege to know that you have within you a refuge that nobody can ever touch.~Helen Tworkov

Theme: Preparation

With Mars inching towards Uranus, and exact on the 16th of July, physical energy builds that will need to find release. The challenge is to infuse this potent aspect with beneficial change, rather than unthinkingly responding to difficulty. The Sun and Venus in Cancer remind us that loving kindness and caring for others changes the environment we live in for the better. It’s also about setting boundaries that make environments safe and nurturing for others.

Some people can remain in the true nature all the time, some for a while, and others only briefly. But everyone has the potential to achieve permanent recognition.~Patrul Rinpoche

Theme: Expansion

With the Moon still in range of Jupiter you continue to have a lot on your plate today and tasks, more or less, gets accomplished. Mercury has moved into Leo firing up conversations. Mercury works best impartially and with its placement in Leo, and opposite Pluto, there is more likelihood of pride, and hidden agendas, causing rifts in communication. The antidote is giving dignity when communicating and aiming for transparency in communication.

Cultivating loving kindness stands as the profound essence of my spiritual path-the very heartbeat of my Dharma.~Namgay Dawa Rinpoche

Theme: Energized with care

Mars is conjunct the Moon in Taurus today which gives you more drive to accomplish but also can trigger outbursts. The good thing about Taurus is that it takes a lot to make this sign mad. Still, be on your guard. Mercury is trine Neptune creating a portal for insights from the unconscious. Dreams may carry more meaning than usual.

As you begin to understand the empty nature of things, your poisons will decrease.~Gyatrul Rinpoche

Theme: Tapping into the heart

With the Moon in Pisces there is an opportunity to be of genuine service to others, if you can tap into your heart. The sign of Pisces allows us to connect with our heart, which in turn allows us to be motivated by compassion. The downside of Pisces is if we shut down our heart and take refuge in escapism and avoiding suffering, including grief, at all costs. Saturn is in Pisces at present which creates difficulties with boundaries and structure.

When we change the way we communicate, we change society.~ Clay Shirky
