Theme: Practical matters

With the Moon in Capricorn for the next couple of days you can attend to practical matters, including the practical foundations in your own life. It’s also a time to priortize your goals. The Moon is conjunct Ceres today providing an expansive, generous energy, counterbalancing the more circumspect reserved Capricorn approach to life. Keep checking in with yourself about what you can and can’t achieve at this time.

I wake up from my nightmares and think: “Oh, I am safe.” But I carry a heavy load because I am not free until those people are free.~Darya Safai

Theme: Steady accomplishment

As the Sun pulls away from its opposition to Saturn the brakes are pressed more gently. It’s been a time when progress is made. Now the next stage is dealing with the Sun square Jupiter which brings both optimism and a tendency for over-reach. Relationships are at the forefront right now, to the extent that they bear investigation. It’s a good time to clean out the cupboard of its shadows and projections onto others.

Everything we do impinges on all beings.~Joanna Macy

Theme: Easing of restrictions

As the Sun pulls away from it’s opposition to Saturn external impediments to activities start to ease. Having said that the Moon forms a T-Square to this opposition so perhaps today is not the day to kick the traces. In other words, there is some unsettlement before settlement. Healing and health remain themes while the Sun remains in Virgo. Venus in Libra continues to offer a counterpoint to challenges elsewhere, proving a silver lining in even the most difficult of situations.

I depart from life as from an inn, and not as from my home.~Cicero

Theme: Critical thinking

Mercury, the planet of thinking and communication, has moved into Virgo bringing into focus the finer points of communication. Did you double check what you wrote? What is the detail you need to communicate? It’s a helpful placement for analyzing contracts. The challenge with Mercury in Virgo is that sometimes you see the weeds but not the bigger context. Thankfully the Moon has moved into Sagittarius today providing a buoyant optimism, along with a big picture view of the universe.

Appreciating your world comes from being present in the world with a sense of wonder.~ Dzigar Kontrul Rinpoche

Theme: The complexity of relationships

With a crowd of various planetary bodies and other significant points, in Libra it’s a moment of illumination about how both our past and our more hidden habits, including jealousy, can sabotage our relationships. This conjunction invites self-honesty and genuine reflection and yet it also speaks to our capacity to tap into our love for others and the strength of our commitments.

In dreams and love there are no impossibilities. ~Janos Arany

Theme: Connections

With the Moon moving into Libra today and conjunct Venus and the South Node there is more effort and energy in seeking harmony and rapprochement. Whatever is holding you back in relationships can be closely examined now, allowing you to move forward. Mars energy, to assert oneself, is muted as Neptunian energy in its highest form is about selflessness. This square aspect between Mars and Neptune creates tension about fulfilling ones personal needs. Transformation occurs in letting go your ‘need’ goals, while being mindful of the physical world you live within.

As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. No reality fits an ideology.. Life is beyond that. That is why people are always searching for a meaning to life.~Anthony de Mello

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 12.05pm until 12:12pm. 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: New beginnings

With the new moon you can draw on lunar energy for starting new endeavors. It’s an outward-looking and optimistic time. The Sun and Moon in Virgo helps with your attention to details, practical communications, attention to inner health and care of small animals. Mars is still in difficult aspect to Neptune producing a gap in your perceptions and reality. Slowing down has benefit when weighing the options. The beneficial placement of Venus in Libra helps offset difficulties.

Beware the Jubjub bird and shun the frumious Bandersnatch.~Lewis Carrol

Theme: Walking backwards

With many major outer planets retrograde – Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn – you can retrace your steps and work out a clearer, better path to your destination. Sometimes revisiting the past isn’t a wallow but an opportunity. Venus continues to generate beneficial connections with others, also from the past. With both the Sun and Moon in mutable Virgo you can be flexible in response to changing situations.

The dividing line between samsara and nirvana is between knowing and not knowing the self-cognizant original wakefulness. When there is knowing, it is nirvana; when not knowing, it is samsara.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Seeking harmony

With Venus moving into Libra today the focus turns to getting along with others and creating the causes for harmony. There is more appreciation of beauty and design and less of the critical approach when Venus was in Virgo. Venus is trine Pluto creating an added depth to relating. Saturn opposes the Sun creating barriers and delays in some areas. It is a good time to be disciplined.

When you are critized, accept it as an opportunity to acknowledge your hidden faults and increase your humility.~HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Theme: Home

The Moon moves into Cancer today connecting us with our lineage, our home and family in a diversity of ways. Nurturing is a major theme. Mercury turns direct by the close of the day allowing clearing up time for mis-communications and improving the chance of better, future communications. There is a better feeling of alignment today in spite of the heft of dealing with a certain heaviness in the atmosphere right now.

Meditation is about learning to recognize our basic goodness in the immediacy of the present moment, and then nurturing this recognition until it seeps into the very core of our being.~Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
