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.

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

Theme: Harmony of the spheres

With the Sun and Moon conjunct in Taurus it’s a time for reflection, review in preparation for beginning a new cycle of activity. Taurus is ruled by Venus and there is a real commitment to harmony and peace, through practical acts. On another front you have a real opportunity, with Chiron conjunct Mercury to move into a more beneficial way of thinking that is more self-honest.

The nature of mind is always beautiful, clear and peaceful, – it never changes, regardless of the sufferings we may be going through. This is the true gift of dharma.~James Low

Theme: Holding Pattern

With the Moon Void of Course for much of the day life is in a holding pattern, meaning that small is beautiful, as only small movements forward gain much traction. Having said that, with the Moon, Mercury and Mars all in the forward motion sign of Aries progress can be made. Taking care of the details of your health are also important. There is kick-start to the day once the Moon moves into Taurus bringing more stability into your daily routine and emotional responses to situations.

How do you cultivate compassion? The first step is to open your eyes and look at the nature of suffering.In our culture, we keep ourselves removed from this.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Strengthening

As Mars pulls away from Neptune your sense of self is more solidified and your boundaries are clearer – which is good for individual physical energy but has challenges when it comes to choosing between self-interest and the greater good. Nevertheless physical health is also important in being able to help others. The Sun in Taurus reminds us that self-care can also increase a sense of security.

It is the ego that wants to punish and criticize; it actually thrives on such activities! The best, most reliable medicine for this disease of mind stuck in ‘ego-made’ is simply to relax. That’s it.~Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche

Theme: Warrior energy

Mars has moved into Aries bringing a firebrand into play, but also energy that enables you to strengthen and move forward, as long as you don’t stir up battles along the way, depleting your gains. With the Moon square the Sun today there is some feeling of dissonance, which is reinforced by a feeling of separation as the Moon squares Uranus. The antidote is finding a place or space where you feel interconnected.

Diversity in counsel, unity in command.~Cyrus the Great

Theme: Intensity

Today the Moon conjuncts Pluto which embodies the Great Mother. So it’s a bit of a doozy but also, as with all challenging aspects, an opportunity. The opportunity with this aspect lies in letting go attachment and deep habitual patterns in order to be of more benefit to others. In other words it asks how can we be of fearless service in the world? The square Pluto also makes to Venus focuses our attention on how we relate to others. What is our hidden agenda in relationships? Venus shines a light in this shadowy area of our lives.

Train the body and develop stamina and endurance. But the spirit of competition and power that presides over them is not good, it reflects a distorted vision of life.~Taisen Deshimaru

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 11.19am until 11:20am. 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: Calming relationships

With Venus moving into Taurus expect relationships to be a little smoother and solid, notwithstanding a certain stubborn quality that comes with all things Taurus. Flexibility isn’t associated with Taurus, but resilience is. Pluto squaring Venus reinforces the need for inner strength in dealing with challenges. The Moon in Capricorn conjunct Ceres reminds us that we are all connected and that when we give, we receive.

We all have Buddha nature. No one is better than anyone. Emptiness is the great equanimity.~Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

Theme: Communication and purpose

A theme for today is purposeful communication. Now that Mercury, the planet of communication, is direct in the direct speaking sign of Aries you can be clear in your communication so long as it’s not hooked to a hidden agenda. Thinking before one speaks is still called for. You have more energy but beware of overdoing it as energy levels continue to fluctuate.

We should plant the seed of unconditional love, expecting nothing for ourselves, seeking only to bring happiness to others-not only to our tiny little family and our little circle of friends where we can get lots of acclaim, and people can notice who is providing the happiness.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 7.17pm until 9:37pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
