Theme: Harmony?

The Moon moves into Libra for the next couple of days. Libra seeks to find harmony in all things, especially relationships but the process of establishing harmony is not won overnight and before the harmony there is prevarication, contemplation and decision making to be had. Communication afflictions continue to be happily modified by the proximity of Venus to Mercury retrograde. As Mars moves closer to Jupiter you have more confidence and energy to make beneficial changes.

We have the capacity for enlightenment because our nature is the enlightened essence.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Smoothing the bumps

With the Sun sextile Jupiter and Mercury conjunct Venus there are silver linings to even the most challenging of moments, like a good fairy watching over proceedings and intervening where necessary. The dark Moon is conjunct the south node provoking past habits that are out-moded. You can pause and re-set these patterns with a view to freeing yourself from past fears and limitations.

Human beings aspire to happiness, yet they perpetuate the causes of suffering. Filling your mind with love and compassion, Vowing to dispel the suffering of all beings, Don the armor of boundless courage!~Patrul Rinpoche

Theme: Precisely

With the Moon in Virgo conjunct Mercury in Virgo attention to detail and being precise are themes. It’s also a happy earth day with the Moon in Virgo so to all gardeners and farmers today it’s especially fruitful for accomplishing plans. The Sun in Leo is less interested in Virgo detail but the energy of its sunny disposition warms up everyone. Mars square Saturn and Mercury square Uranus today add sudden events and challenges, all of which can be harnessed for good if you are flexible.

Understand that obstructing forces are your own thoughts, they arise out of your own mind.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Planting seeds and checking communication

The new Moon brings new possibilities and the best time to plant the seeds for new projects. With Mercury now retrograde but conjunct Venus there are mixed blessings in communications. On the one hand you have to continue to be mindful and double-check what was said or written, and on the other hand you have the helping hand of Venus when communications go awry, which is magnified today with the proximity of the Moon.

Understanding is a two-way street.~Eleanor Roosevelt

Theme: Home and family

With the Moon in Cancer you have a good opportunity to turn your attention to family and home, and strengthen your ability to nurture self and others. The Moon in Cancer embodies the Great Mother, that part of us which nurtures and protects others, beyond our own immediate concerns. You have the capacity to integrate the past and present at this time. Communications are eased with Mercury in good aspect to the Moon today. Relationships overall prove to be a little more tricky.

When you are at peace with yourself, you will be at peace with the world.~Khenpo Sonam Tsewang

Theme: Communication

With the Moon in Gemini it’s been a ‘talking-through’ couple of days, talking about this, that and the other thing! Now the Moon is about to enter Cancer where it’s at home so less talking and more doing is in the stars. The Moon is also sextile Chiron today reminding you of the connection between your present emotions and past emotional experiences. The Sun in Leo continues to remind us of the need to find joy in simple acts.

…our emotions and habits are so strong that even when the truth is staring us in the face, we are unable to see it.~Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 10.46pm 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: Expanded view

With the Moon conjunct Jupiter today you have more optimism due, in part, to having your horizons expanded, and seeing more possibilities. This view can inspire you to have courage. You are more disciplined and committed, as the Moon proceeds on to conjunct Saturn. While Neptune remains in the last degree of Pisces, it’s a good time to contemplate, reflect and intuit the family patterns that inform your path.

The pale moonbeams soon will fade and vanish- this shows the illusory nature of all beings, this proves the transient nature of all things.~Milarepa

Theme: Transitions

The Moon conjunct Uranus today adds frisson to the start of the day. Feelings of separation are coupled with the wish to find freedom and ways to do things differently. Out-of-the-box ideas and inspiring communities are themes. Mercurial mercury in Virgo is good for ironing out details. The waning energy of the Moon’s cycle is a good reminder of the ebb and flow of life. Rather than starting something new continue to hone what you have accomplished.

When illness arises, this brings benefit; Whatever arises – are a treasury of Bliss.~Mahasiddha Padampa Sangye

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 4.59pm until 5.28pm. 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: Touchstones

With the Moon in Aries conjuncting the north node expect meetings with friends and family today. Of course Moon in Aries also brings with it a direct action approach to events which can work really well – or not. It’s a good idea to pause before engagement, if at all possible, and reflect. Mars in Gemini gives you flexibility to change direction as you need to but the Sun in Leo is a fixed sign so the good part is determination and the challenge is knowing when to shift positions.

Mathematics is a process of staring hard enough with enough perseverence at at the fog of muddle and confusion to eventually break through to improved clarity. ~William Thurston

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 10.31am until 10:52am. 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: From pillar to post

With the Moon conjunct Saturn and Neptune today, in that order, you’ll go from feeling isolated to one with the universe! So it’s just one of those days really. A little unpredictable. Mars and Sun continue to be in good aspect so take the opportunities to complete goals. The Sun is opposite Pluto which can trigger power struggles and fear of loss, but it’s hold is diminishing. The antidote of this struggle is to practice compassion and love for oneself and others.

There is a training in not meditating, a training in naturalness, in letting be.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
