Theme: Delving and Designing

With the Moon trine Pluto today you have the opportunity for emotional insights and investigating causes. Venus trine Saturn enables you to cement connections with others. The Moon in Libra brings a focus on beauty and design, not to mention diplomacy and decision making processes.

We all have struggles; we all go through times that are difficult. What I found is there’s strength in talking about what’s happening. ~Carrie Genzel

Theme: Mirroring

With the Moon opposite Neptune today there is a mirroring effect, whereby the world mirrors back to you the more mysterious, unseen parts of your psyche. It’s not a time to act but rather reflect on what you see. Avoid substances or situations that unmoor you from reality as this aspect alone opens the gates to other worlds. There continues to be opportunities to connect with deep love and caring for others with Jupiter opposite Venus. Mercury in Capricorn brings a discerning eye to contracts and the fine print.

Do not wait until you are dying to understand your spiritual nature. If you do it now you will discover resources of kindness and compassion you didn’t know you had.~Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche

Theme: Open Hearts, Open Minds

With a grand trine between the Moon, Jupiter and Mercury there is an openness today that brings more opportunity and more tolerance. The needle in the haystack is the that there will be someone that presses your buttons. Can you maintain equanimity and be bigger than your provocateurs’? Venus moves into Scorpio bringing an intensity to relationships: it’s also an opportunity to explore forgiveness.

I remember I went through a process quite naturally, even before I found Buddhism. I was sitting in front of a stream meditating, and I meditated very deeply on my essential nature-this nature that is without discrimination, beginningless and yet completely and yet completely fulfilled-was both empty and full, beyond any kind of discrimination whatsoever. I meditated very deeply on that. Then I found that I couldn’t tell where I ended and where the water began.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Intense and Changeable Relationships

We should try to find some peace within ourselves as our relationships intensify and change. It will be destructive to try and hang on to how a relationship has been. It continues to be a good time to see the flaws in our life situations, and to make corrections. But don’t lose perspective of the big picture. There is a Yod today with Mars at the apex. This indicates the need to make adjustments in our action plans for things to run more smoothly.

True love is usually the most inconvenient kind. ~ Kiera Cass

The Moon is void of course from 9:12 pm to 10:51 pm today EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Exploring the past

With the Moon in Cancer and Venus conjunct the south node it’s a time to reflect on how your family and old relationships impact your present. Perhaps it’s a time to sift through those connections that work – and stick with those. The asteroid of healing/health is in a challenging aspect to the Moon and nodes today which is a reminder for self-care. The day brings an unexpected surprise. Take time for spiritual reflection today.

We should keep the practice of physical good actions and good speech in mind from day to day and from month to month and not forget them throughout our life.~Khenchen Trangu Rinpoche

Theme: Contraction and Expansion

With Saturn and Jupiter in aspect to the Moon today you can experience the different energies of these two planets – Saturn with its tight focus on working within existing systems, and Jupiter with its expansive view, going beyond existing boundaries to explore new horizons. The Moon in Cancer brings family, ancestors and home to the fore. With the Moons proximity to Vesta emotional responsiveness is highlighted, and learning to let go of judgement.

There are two kinds of happiness. There is that of an uncommitted life of sensual pleasures, and there is that of a committed life, one of going forth to a new consciousness. Of these, the happiness of going forth is greater.~The Buddha

Theme: Believe

With the Sun in Sagittarius now is the time to connect with a belief system tthat the world can be a better place. The challenge is to ground idealism in the building blocks of how to make beneficial change, starting with yourself. With good aspects to Mercury you have the mental acuity to have good insights so as long as you take time to reflect and don’t rush or make assumptions about what you think is going on. Relationships are harmonious today.

Humanity cannot forget its dreamers; it cannot let their ideals fade and die; it lives in them; it knows them as the realities  which it shall one day see and know.~James Allen

Theme: Full to the brim

With the full moon in Gemini today communication of all kinds, connections with others and short trips are activated. Emotions are heightened. With Mercury square Neptune, there is increased likelihood of misunderstandings. After the heightened energy of the full moon there inevitably comes a subsidence into a calmer, more reflective place where you integrate the events of the past month. Past relationships surface at this time offering insights into patterns of relating that can benefit from change.

Make friends but don’t expect any benefit for yourself. Friendship only for oneself harms trust. So an ancient once said, “Have an enduring friendship with purity in heart.”~Zen Master Kyong Ho

Theme: Disruption then Stress

It is not an all bad day, but the Moon conjunct Uranus in the morning indicates sudden events. Then the full Moon brings small tensions to the surface. We have a lot of energy to work with especially since the Sun is still united with Mars. But we will feel conflict between two major areas of our life. It is still important to proceed slowly with all events that we want to succeed.

Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. ~ Pema Chodron

The Moon is void of course from 4:53 pm until 7:41 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.
