Theme: A lot going on

Mostly beneficial aspects mean you don’t slide into too many challenges – except for that part of the day were Moon conjuncts Saturn – giving you little or no wriggle room to deal with a situation. It is what it is. The Moon in Pisces compliments the Sun in Scorpio. You can really connect with deep underlying emotions today and give them an opportunity for letting them go like bubbles rising from a deep spring. Much is accomplished today. Dedicate your good efforts to the welfare of all being.

…compassion is of particular importance. It is the seed of the Great Way in the beginning; the water that makes the crops grow in the middle and finally, the ripening of the fruit.~HH 41st Sakya Trinzin Ngawang Kunga

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA until 4:33am. 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: Fortitude and Support

The grand trine between Saturn and the Sun continues to offer a silver lining: when fortitude, perseverance and diligence are applied good outcomes result. The Sun moves into Scorpio today bringing emotional depth and the ability to transform one’s view into play. It’s a good month to conduct investigative research and deal with shared resources. The Moon squares Uranus bringing feelings of separation to the fore, for a time.

My worth is not, and should never be, attached to my ability to produce things. I’m a human, not a machine. I have emotions and anxieties that sometimes hinder my ability to perform. But instead of treating my anxiety as a setback, I now view it as an important signal for me to step back, reset and rest before I continue.~Naydeline Mejia

Theme: Indeterminate feelings

With Neptune square the Moon you will feel an underlying lack of focus if you have to perform in the so-called-real world. However, if you take time out to reflect and slow down it can be a rewarding time and instead of feeling exhausted you could feel rejuvenated. Elsewhere in the cosmos there are good aspects between a number of planets enabling you to bring focus and diligence to matters at hand.

Just as lotuses are only found growing in muddy water, wisdom can only be found in our negative emotions.~Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche

Theme: Testing relationships

Moon square Venus creates emotional tests that you seek to overcome. On a broader level the Sun in Libra and Moon in Sagittarius adds to more optimism through diplomacy and insights into the big picture. How we think and communicate and identify our purpose are under scrutiny as the south node conjoins Mercury and the Sun. This is an opportunity for self-reflection and re-setting your goals and purpose. News that is important arrives.

The moment you give up hope, the person turns up. The Spiritual path works in this way. It is a matter of wearing out all expectation.~Chogyam Trungpa

Theme: Reckonings

With the Sun exactly conjunct the south node it’s a time when past causes and conditions catch up with you – and it’s a mixed bag. Sometimes going in the opposite direction, away from your comfort zone can prove the most rewarding step. The Moon moves into Sagittarius today bringing the winds of promise to a bitterly divided world. If we can make friends with ourselves we can make friends with our neighbors.

May the hail of lava, fiery stones, and weapons henceforth become a rain of blossom. May those whose hell it is to fight and wound be turned to lovers offering their flowers.~Shantideva

Theme: Finding Peace

Generosity and giving are keys to creating the causes of harmony and peace today with the Moon in good aspect to Ceres, an asteroid which thrives when we tend to those in need, including the guardians of the earth, Indigenous peoples. The Moon in good aspect to Venus invites us to give rise to a compassionate heart in the face of suffering. Mercury in close proximity to the Sun signals sudden unexpected messages, generally bringing good news.

We may be afraid, but when a mirror is held up, we must be willing to look.~Dzigar Kongtrul

Theme: Utilizing the past

Difficulties and challenges in relationships can be traced back to the past – it’s a good time to analyze the root causes of difficulties in general and one-to-one relationships in particular. With Moon trine Jupiter you have more optimism in tackling difficulties and you also have a wider perspective that aids your perspective. Mars moves into Scorpio later today where it is at home in dealing with the more hidden side of conflict, intimacy and the challenges of shared resources. It also can provide more resilience and fortitude – important resources in dealing with whatever life brings.

Instead of allowing ourselves to be led and trapped by our feelings, we should let them disappear as soon as they form, like letters drawn on water with a finger.~Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Theme: Dealing with practicalities, and a healing focus

The Moon moves into Virgo today bringing a focus on the earth, and healing whether it’s healing the earth, through simple acts such as gardening, or healing ourselves. Chiron opposite the Sun strengthens the healing focus on a metaphysical level. This aspect focuses our attention on any inner psychological wounds that impede our capacity to physically repair our body and mind. We are more sensitized today to our limitations in relation to others. Reflection is a helpful tool.

…the notion of death cannot be applied to reality. There is transformation, there is continuation, but you cannot say that there is death.~Thich Nhat Hanh

Theme: Reviewing relationships

With Saturn opposite Venus for the next while you can take the time to see what works and what doesn’t in your relationships with others. You may feel restrained and even corralled but it’s also an opportunity to be realistic about the limits of the possible in your dynamics with others. There is an underlying harmony between your sense of purpose and your feelings today which aids your insights. Life may have its challenges but there are also silver linings.

…we actually pray for guidance and we use the teachings that the teacher gives us and we begin to create the causes by which we can overcome the obstacles in our lives.~Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Feelings?

The Moon moves into Cancer today re-connecting you with family, home and the past. With the Moon in a water sign you can access your feelings more directly, if you choose. With Mars continuing to square Pluto you need to be more mindful than usual dealing with physical safety whether it’s driving or doing your normal day to day activity. Be a watchful warrior! You can ask yourself how your energy can be re-directed to the greater good rather than self-service: the former clears the way for pent up energy to move more freely and find a natural balance.

There’s no better sign of accomplishment than a disciplined mind, This is true victory for the real warrior who carries no weapons.~Chatral Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 2.34 am until 8:32am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
