Theme: Taking initiative

With the Moon in Aries you can initiate activity. It is also conjunct the north node which can indicate a fortunate meeting. The Moon in Aries embodies a fearless emotional quality. Yet it can also be headstrong sign. With Mars continuing to oppose Pluto be careful about pushing ahead with projects that benefit from agreement. Also, Mercury is square Saturn exactly, asking us to examine what is the best way to connect and communicate with others versus communications that are fruitless and a waste of time. There is an opportunity for a re-set if you’ve been too narrowly focused. Venus has moved into Capricorn emphasizing practicality and structure in relationships.

As the torrent rushes into the sea, As the sun and moon glide over the setting mountains, As days and nights, hours and moments run away, Human life is inexorably flowing.~Padmasambhava

Theme: Awareness

With the Moon conjunct Neptune today it’s time to relax, open your mind and tune in to what’s happening within you. How can you let your inner self breathe more? As such it’s not a day to be iron-clad, hard and fast or tightly structured, otherwise confusion is more likely. The Sun trine the Moon brings harmony, and you can see the silver lining in even the worst situations. The Sun is drawing ever closer to an opposition with Uranus bringing with it an inner restlessness. It’s time to identify the source of this restlessness and not project it onto others.

The difference between buddhas and sentient beings is only the difference between the narrowness and the openness of space.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Emotional clarity

With the Moon conjunct Pluto today you can experience deep insights, often through catharsis. Uncomfortable truths surface offering an opportunity to self-examine, let go and move forward. It’s important to let pent-up energy release in a safe way for all concerned. In addition the Moon is trine Uranus, asking you to be more flexible than usual, while also providing room for spontaneity and taking a welcome break.

Theme: Finding generosity

The Moon conjunct Ceres today reminds us of the importance of engaging generosity in our lives, and offers a reminder of the importance of the bounty of the earth in supporting and nourishing us. The Sun in Scorpio is still plumbing the psychological depths – bringing hidden truths to the surface. Self-discipline continues to be important at this time. The Moon in Capricorn creates yearning for stability, and seeks practical outcomes in facing daily challenges.

Theme: Action stations

The Moon moves into Capricorn, an action-oriented sign, that bestows a serious yet practical focus on matters. This placement compliments the trine between Sun and Saturn adding to one’s capacity for self-discipline. Mars has moved into the sign of Leo which is an assertive, courageous, yet stubborn, place for Mars to be, and although Mars is pulling away from its opposition to Pluto there is still the potential for power struggles internally and externally. Mercury trine Mars enables communications to play a critical role in adjudicating challenges at this time. Jupiter and Venus are still creating a buffer against negative actors, in one’s own mind, and outside oneself. It is important to keep good company at this time.

If you want to get rid of the your enemy, the true way is to realize that your enemy is delusion.~The Buddha

Theme: Buffer

With the Moon conjunct Pallas Athena and Venus today the voice and wisdom of women is in ascendancy. The Sun trine Saturn encourages us to focus on self-discipline at this time and have fortitude. In other words, persistence pays off and we can learn from our experience. Jupiter continues to be conjunct the beneficial White Moon providing, like Venus conjunct the Moon, a buffer against negative forces.

Those who, with body, speech, and mind, Are resolved in thought and deed to heal the world, Who always strive to heal sentient beings, Are like an uḍumbara flower.~ Mahayana Sutra, Asokadattas’s Prophecy.

Theme: The dark moon

In this dark balsamic moon phase where the Moon nestles behind the Sun it’s a time for going within, reflection, resting and review. The Moon is shedding its light in preparation for renewal on the 1st of November. Like a snake shedding its skin, the Moon and Sun in Scorpio, asks that we slough off tired, outmoded habits in order to prepare for a new cycle of renewal and beginnings. The White Moon (a point in the heavens where the earth and moon interact closely) is conjunct Jupiter bestowing protection at this time.

The moon never has known how to drink, All my shadow does is follow my body, But with moon and shadow as companions a while, This joy I find will surely last till spring.~ Li Bai

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 12.57pm until 1:29pm. 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: Steady accomplishment

The next few days are times for progressing and accomplishing goals. You can draw on self-discipline more than you usually do. Today joy has more of a foothold, so take the opportunity to engage in something that is uplifting. With the Moon opposite Chiron you can take the opportunity to let go of past inner-hurts. In fact the passage of Sun and Mercury in Scorpio invites you to cleanse and transform yourself through identifying the deep-inner cause of psychological wounds.

And only where the forest fires have sped, Scorching relentlessly the cool north lands, A sweet wild flower lifts its purple head, And, like some gentle spirit sorrow-fed, It hides the scars with almost human hands.~Emily Pauline Tekahionwake Johnson

Theme: Insight

Mercury in Scorpio conjunct the Vertex increases synchronicity and creates the opportunity for significant encounters with others, heightening Mercury’s capacity for insights and making connections. The Moon has moved into Libra lightening the sometimes intense gaze of the Sun in Scorpio which unearths the hidden parts of our psyche and purpose. Scorpio energy helps us have a clearer idea of what self-honesty actually is, contrasting with Libran energy which is conflict-averse.

The archaeology of grief is not ordered. It is more like earth under a spade, turning up things you had forgotten. Surprising things come to light…~Helen MacDonald
