Theme: Contraction and Expansion

With Saturn and Jupiter in aspect to the Moon today you can experience the different energies of these two planets – Saturn with its tight focus on working within existing systems, and Jupiter with its expansive view, going beyond existing boundaries to explore new horizons. The Moon in Cancer brings family, ancestors and home to the fore. With the Moons proximity to Vesta emotional responsiveness is highlighted, and learning to let go of judgement.

There are two kinds of happiness. There is that of an uncommitted life of sensual pleasures, and there is that of a committed life, one of going forth to a new consciousness. Of these, the happiness of going forth is greater.~The Buddha

Theme: Believe

With the Sun in Sagittarius now is the time to connect with a belief system tthat the world can be a better place. The challenge is to ground idealism in the building blocks of how to make beneficial change, starting with yourself. With good aspects to Mercury you have the mental acuity to have good insights so as long as you take time to reflect and don’t rush or make assumptions about what you think is going on. Relationships are harmonious today.

Humanity cannot forget its dreamers; it cannot let their ideals fade and die; it lives in them; it knows them as the realities  which it shall one day see and know.~James Allen

Theme: Full to the brim

With the full moon in Gemini today communication of all kinds, connections with others and short trips are activated. Emotions are heightened. With Mercury square Neptune, there is increased likelihood of misunderstandings. After the heightened energy of the full moon there inevitably comes a subsidence into a calmer, more reflective place where you integrate the events of the past month. Past relationships surface at this time offering insights into patterns of relating that can benefit from change.

Make friends but don’t expect any benefit for yourself. Friendship only for oneself harms trust. So an ancient once said, “Have an enduring friendship with purity in heart.”~Zen Master Kyong Ho

Theme: Optimism

The Sun moves into Sagittarius today bringing rays of optimism to dispel the shadows of despair. The Sun in Sagittarius also brings an adventuresome spirit, and a focus on learning, philosophy and travel. The Moon has moved into Aries adding enthusiasm and a ‘can do’ approach to starting projects. Some relationships are more vulnerable today. Overall there is energy to spare. Mindfulness is still called for – especially think before you speak.

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 10.10am until 11:19pm. 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: Drawing on resources

You have more strength than you know. With Pluto in good aspect to the Sun and Mars there is a depth of reserves you can access including the qualities of fortitude and perseverance. As the Moon approaches Neptune you will benefit from quiet and restful time. Try not to figure people out as with this aspect nothing is what it appears. With the preponderances of planets in water signs feeling is not always believing – but feeling can lead you to a more compassionate place in yourself.

When we’re really in touch with the longing to help others, and when our lives are committed to that purpose, we can consider ourselves among the most fortunate people on this earth.~Pema Chodron

Theme: Holding the line

Ceres, the asteroid embodying loving-kindness, nurturing and antidoting hunger in the world, not to mention true democracy, is the umpire between Mars and the Sun today directing energy to meaningful supportive and humanitarian projects. With Saturn conjunct the Moon in the first half of the day you will feel restriction and even depression: self-discipline and the capacity to put one foot in front of the other help navigate you out of self-absorption. There is a lot of energy that is also equally uplifting today.

When we end up believing our thoughts and acting on them, then we’re creating karma and we will be stuck with it. Usually when we believe our thughts we tend to act on them. But by maintaining this nondoing awareness, all of our internal issues dating back lifetimes will vanish.~Anam Thubten Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 5.50am until 9:29am. 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: Balance

With the Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Capricorn there is elemental harmony that provides stability for the next two days. Mars is still within a cats whisker of the Sun so continue to exercise caution physically and continue to be conscious of how to antidote any arising anger. Generosity towards others is also a helpful antidote to anger/ego. Mars is also trine Neptune allowing you to access a more nuanced understanding of energy flow, that when harnessed to spiritual understanding, results in more beneficial outcomes.

Buddha-nature is the luminous, ceaseless, and primordial nature of mind. It has not been fabricated or created by various causes and conditions. It has not been fabricated or created by various causes and conditions.~Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche

Theme: Believing

With the new Moon now in Sagittarius your ideals matter where they inspire optimism and hope. You can be adventurous and push the envelope about expanding your perspective. There is more ease in communicating with others and generally relating better with others. Mars is pulling away from the Sun reducing the optimum conditions for war and conflict. You still have to be aware of your physical well being. Exercise patience.

As we develop awareness, we get a better understanding of the very subtle thoughts that constantly shift the mind into nonawareness.~Khandro Rinpoche

Theme: Not boring

There are so many different energetic aspects today that it’s hard to know which aspects will be in ascendancy. You will need to be mindful today of the relationship between your strong emotions and your physical health. Slow down and avoid giving into anger. There will be disruption today with Uranus opposite the Sun and Moon. The Moon trine Neptune gives you vital space for reflection and contemplation. The new moon ushers in new beginnings so turning over a new leaf or starting a new activity is supported at this time.

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 6:03pm until 9:23pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Continually meditate upon devotion, renunciation, love, compassion, and the supreme mind of enlightenment, bodhicitta.~ Jamyang Khytense Chokyi Lodro
