Theme: Connecting with your inner fire

With the Sun now in the fire sign of Leo it’s a time to pick up your feet, stand tall and believe in yourself. It’s also a time to remember how to play and connect creatively with the world you live in. Children can remind you of the importance of these qualities. The Moon in Aquarius compliments the Sun in Leo, providing you with an inner curiosity that expands your network of friends and encourages you to be innovative.

Theme: Creating solutions

With the Sun sextile Mars you’re tempted to create problems – but try solving them instead – as you have a reserve of energy to do so. Avoid excess and overdoing things. Rather, conserve your energy for important tasks. The Moon in Sagittarius buoys you up, giving you more optimism. The Sun in Cancer continues to remind us to tend our homes, making them nurturing and supportive places.

Until you realize the correct view, it is very difficult to have true self-confidence. No matter how much one tries to act self-assured, it is only an intellectual patch.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Examining the shadow

With Juno conjunct Lilith, the dark moon, it’s a good time to investigate the shadow self in relationships, and turn the light on the hidden recesses of your engagements with others. The Sun square Chiron invites past emotional wounds to be set free through self-honesty. With the Moon opposite Jupiter there is also a light shining on maternal relationships, and being open-hearted.

Theme: Tension and dissolution

The Moon in Scorpio is opposite the conjunction between Uranus and Mars today so this aspect another reminder to be mindful today, and if you’re provoked to ‘unprovoke’ your response. In other words press the pause button. Mars has moved past Uranus so the inherent tension in that aspect is waning. Venus is in Leo inviting us to access our inner dignity and afford the same to others.

Faith is like a lamp and wisdom makes the flame burn bright. Carry this lamp always and in good time the darkness will yield and you will abide in the Light.~Dhammavadaka

Theme: Approaches

As Mars approaches Uranus now is the time to work on stabilizing your mind at a time when the world around you may be in flux owing to the tension building between these two planets. Preparing the mind and finding ways to safely release tension, within helps resolve any impending crises. Venus in Cancer provides a cushion of compassion at this time.

Theme: Mutable moments

With the Moon moving into the earth sign of Virgo today the focus turns to attending to your daily routine and health. As an earth sign Virgo draws our attention towards practical matters and being in the natural world including caring for small animals. It’s a naturally flexible or mutable sign. With the Sun in the water sign of Cancer there is a natural fit with the Moon in Virgo, so more harmony is evident over the next few days.

I am so often struck by the dangerous narcissism fostered by spiritual rhetoric that pays so much attention to individual self-improvement and so little to the practice of love within the context of community~bell hooks

It’s also a learning opportunity about communicating in ways that uphold the dignity of others.
