Theme: Insights

With Venus conjunct the south node events of the past are illuminated, thus enabling you to see what keeps you comfortable but not necessarily growing. Three planets in free-wheeling Gemini assist with insights today helping make connections between seemingly unrelated moments. With the Sun and Venus in Virgo it’s a good time for communicating your intentions in more detail and loosening or re-jigging your routine.

Stillness or movement of attention are like a person sitting and moving about, Whether you move around or not, you should still recognize your own face.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Reflective action

With a T-square between Venus, Mars and Neptune there is space to see your own true nature, or get lost in space! It’s a fine balance between action and non-action today. Your energy levels are more prone to fluctuation and relationships remain more unpredictable than usual. Your light and dark sides are also more evident. With the Moon in Gemini you are more flexible in your emotional responses, which is a good thing as it’s a changing kind of day.

In the beginning, nothing comes; In the middle, nothing stays; At the end, nothing goes. Of the mind there is no arising and extinction! Thus, one remains in the Equality of the past, present, and future.~Milarepa

Theme: Rendering assistance

With the Moon conjunct the North Node today some beneficial re-setting and re-alignment regarding daily life takes place: you can also ask for help with good results. The Moon in Aries gives you more courage to deal directly with matters at hand. The Sun has entered Virgo so you can also attend fruitfully to the small but important details of life in the next month, along with personal health. It’s also a good time for functional communication.

However many pleasures I enjoy, my desire is never sated. However much I learn, it’s just words without meaning. However much I fritter away my time, I never run out of distractions. Enough! I’ve had it! I’ll cut out all this mental chatter, all these plans and hopes and fears!~Patrul Rinpoche

Theme: Honing your communication skills

Mercury retrograde is always a good time to improve your communication skills as, during this time, you often have to repeat what you said, or what you thought you said! However, Mercury is in good aspect to Mars and Jupiter, which means that focused communication with right, beneficial motivation produces good results. With Venus in square with Mars you continue to be challenged in your relationships.

The real buddha sits within.~Zhaozhou

Theme: Communication challenges

With Mercury Retrograde forming a square to Uranus there are unexpected interruptions and sudden changes in communications. Cultivate patience and flexibility for even with the best will in the world, communications can go awry. The Moon conjuncts Saturn today placing hard-to-budge challenges in respect of your daily routine and health. Lilith is conjunct Venus bringing the shadow in relationships to light.

Always scrutinize your own shortcomings. Ignore the faults of others. Keep this attitude: “Whether they are pure or whether they are defiled, it is none of my business!“~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Possibilities

With the Full Moon opposite the Sun forming a T-square to Uranus, and the additions of Venus opposite Saturn square Jupiter expect major events and shifts today. With the involvement of Venus and Jupiter in these aspects the negative outcomes have the potential to lead to large transformations. The quiet influence of the asteroid Pallas Athena softens the T-Square, forming a Grand-Cross with the Sun, Moon and Uranus. Pallas Athena is the Warrior Queen and Goddess of wisdom and justice. In her good aspect she embodies courage and in her negative aspect, fear. She is also protectress of the State and a wise strategist.

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 2.26pm until 6:52pm. 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: Be enterprising

With Mars still closely conjunct Jupiter (but away from the tricky Moon aspect yesterday) now is the time to be enterprising and have confidence that you can progress and/or complete plans, especially those concerning study, travel and legal matters. The Moon moves into Capricorn today strengthening your focus on practical matters and achievements, including those weighing the scales of justice. As the Sun approaches Vesta matters concerning home and hearth become a focal point along with an opportunity for personal integration.

So many paths go up from the foothills but one moon grazes the peak.~.~Ikkyu

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 12.52pm until 1:51pm. 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: Keeping things in proportion

With the Moon opposite Jupiter conjunct Mars there is both opportunity and risk. The opportunity is there to seize the moment, and the risk is overdoing it, and succumbing to impatience and grandiosity, thereby risking the overall success of the endeavor. If you can really align your goals with your inner purpose and natural self-awareness, then there is a clearer pathway.

…harmonize our conduct with the understanding that happiness proceeds from positive deeds and suffering from negative ones.~Bokar Rinpoche

Theme: Incisive

With Mercury and Venus in Virgo there is an urge to focus on the minutiae sometimes at the expense of the bigger picture. Details have their place, and with Mercury retrograde the devil is in the detail. Thankfully with the Moon in Sagittarius there is more willingness to lift ones head and see the horizon. Details are important but so is the end goal.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.~Goethe

Theme: Investigation

With the Moon in Scorpio you can mine the inner workings of the unconscious mind to gather insights that are usually hidden from you. At this time your more likely to keep your privacy in order to contemplate your life, and also strategize which is helpful in order to make progress with challenging goals. With the Sun square Uranus there is a restlessness that invites some restraint in order to understand your motivation in order to move forward.

When strong habits confront us, we often feel we are no match for them. But the mind of practice can accommodate the full spectrum of thoughts and emotions. We must never be intimidated by our own mind.~Dzigar Kontrul Rinpoche
