Theme: Caught in the middle

The planet governing relationships is sandwiched between Pluto and Mars. You may feel pressured to do things you wouldn’t ordinarily do. If you can engage in diplomacy everyone will be better served. The Sun is approaching Saturn which increases the focus on structures and their limitations. The Moon in Cancer offers respite in the home and generates a more nurturing spirit.

To practice devotion, discipline and generosity, To free the mind through hearing the Dharma, and to have dignity, self-control And discriminating awareness-make these seven noble human qualities.~Jigme Lingpa

Theme: Trouble shooting

With Mercury square the Moon you have the opportunity to problem solve and think outside the square! Of course you have to be mindful of your speech with such an aspect. You can incline your day towards spiritual pursuits today. Still, with the Moon conjunct Uranus you can also expect unexpected events to change the course of the day. As the Sun moves towards the end of Aquarius take time to enjoy your friendships and community activities.

We fight the same battles over and over again. They are never won for eternity, but in the process of struggling together, in community, we learn how to glimpse new possibilities that otherwise never would have become apparent to us, and in the process we expand and enlarge our very notion of freedom.~Angela Davis

Theme: Staying the course

The Moon has moved into the solid sign of Taurus conjunct Jupiter replenishing your resources and bringing stabilizing energy. Mars is beginning to pull away from Pluto decreasing the tension created with that conjunction. All the major planets are bunched together in one section of the sky creating a container of planetary energy that increases focus but also invites one to explore what is missing in your life.

If we have believed in self nature since time out of mind, then we’ve been selfish since time out of mind.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Movement and Challenge

Mars has entered Aquarius where it exactly conjuncts Pluto. Today and the next few days remember to cultivate patience and awareness at a time when deep conflicts can surface. The Moon in Aries increases the likelihood of people going head to head because of the headstrong nature of Aries. Relationships are highlighted with the Venus-Mars conjunction inviting us to acknowledge that relationships only flourish with give and take, not with one side dominating.

Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought. Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder. Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings. Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.~Helen Keller

Theme: Checks and Balances

With the challenge of Mars conjunct Pluto bringing raw emotions and habits to the surface it’s good to know that Venus is chasing every closer to Mars and softening the harshness and the fighting that occurs when you, or anyone else, don’t get what they want. Similarly, Jupiter is also in good aspect to Venus and Mars bringing a good bridle to unbridled aggression. The Sun in Aquarius brings a more global vision which is much needed at this time as Pluto begins the task of breaking down old outmoded structures.

The kind of amazing thing is that Barbie went to the moon before women had the ability to get credit cards.~Greta Gerwig

Theme: Thinking outside the box

With the Moon conjunct Mercury in Aquarius you can think differently about conundrums and how to re-imagine activities of daily life. The desire for freedom that Aquarius energy draws also creates space for innovation and originality. The support and ideas of your broader community are more accessible to you. The acute aspect of Sun square Uranus is slowly abating also giving you respite from at least one area of pressure.

Many human beings say that they enjoy the winter, but what they really enjoy is feeling proof against it. For them there is no winter food problem. They have fires and warm clothes. The winter cannot hurt them and therefore increases their sense of cleverness and security. For birds and animals, as for poor men, winter is another matter. Rabbits, like most wild animals, suffer hardship.~Richard Adams

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 2.52am until 8:59am. 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: The power of love in times of war

With the Moon conjunct Venus today and Mars approaching ever closer to Pluto you are offered different ways to respond to events – with compassion and courage or with hatred and fear. All astrological aspects offer us different ways of responding to difficulties. The Moon-Venus conjunction reminds us that we share beneficial connections with many beings while the Mars-Pluto conjunction reminds us of the never-ending cycle of suffering, especially if we lose our humanity. With the Sun approaching an exact square the pressure is ratcheting up and it’s important to find peaceful outlets for this energy so that it doesn’t rebound. Finding ways to free this energy and let it flow benignly is possible if we pay attention.

One does not sell the earth upon which the people walk.~Crazy Horse

Theme: Down to earth moments

With the Moon, Venus and Mars in Capricorn practical outcomes are in order including paying attention to structural outcomes (both the structures of the body and at work). Capricorn energy also brings a dry sense of humor to activities, in spite of the serious side to this sign. The Moon trine Jupiter brings a generous, expansive spirit to the day enabling you to think beyond your own needs to the needs of others.

We should practice rejoicing as much as possible. We should rejoice whenever we see good things happening to othe people.~Lama Zopa Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 12.06am until 7:08am. 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: Mindfulness

There is a lot of underlying tension building with the Sun approaching an exact square to Uranus and Mars approaching an exact conjunction with Pluto. So it pays to be mindful of your physical activity and orientation. Play it safe. Go slower. Mercury is in exact conjunction to Pluto providing penetrating insights into your psychological habits that need to change. You can also see what old personal psychological wounds prevent you from moving forward at this time.

Although we have done nothing to harm the ego, it has caused us continual harm since beginningless time.~Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche

Theme: Depth perception

With the Moon in an interesting aspect to the planet of communication, Mercury, and the planet of transformation, Pluto, there are strong habitual tendencies that bubble to the surface today. Any negative result is more muted as a consequence of the moon being void of course for much of the day. Still, there’s always room for improvement in developing patience and insight. The Sun in Aquarius offers a dispassionate view of feelings, which also helps standing back from one’s self to see what is going on.

Renunciation is to take distance from the tendency of self-centered emotions.~Erik Pema Kunsang

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 4.03am am until 3:37pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
