Theme: Refresh and Review

Ideas flow more freely and you are receptive to a different way of communicating. You are more connected to your heart today and can give more of what you have to others. You will experience a sense of aloneness with those that you are close to. This is lessened through focused activity. It’s a good day to get a lot done. With Mars in Sagittarius you can be more adventurous and braver in dealing with challenges. In the company of others, guard your speech; Whenever you are alone, guard your mind.~Atisha

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST 7.45 pm and 7:16 pm the next day. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Sparkle and zest

Today is an activity today – some anticipated – some not! You are more connected to your heart and you have more impact on others if you come from that place. There are some uplifting moments in the day. However, the Sun is in Capricorn so you do have to pay attention to practical matters, and keep your eye on the goal, including handling finances. Nothing is built to last so Capricorn energy also enables practical maintenance to be addressed. I tell you this/ to break your heart, /by which I mean only/ that it break open and never close again/ to the rest of the world.~Mary Oliver

Theme: Exciting New Possibilities

The new Moon occurs in the early afternoon, and both the Sun and Moon are harmonized with the planet of sudden changes and new possibilities, Uranus. Mercury has entered the sign Aquarius for the next few weeks. This adds to our ability to think outside of the box. There is still plenty of Capricorn, the earth sign of traditional methods, energy now. Let’s make the best of progressive and traditional approaches. And turn towards our spiritual practices as support. If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way. ~Martin Luther King Jr

Theme: 2022 prediction: Working in New Ways

The chart for the new year is a mixed bag. The best news is that we can accomplish our goals with novel approaches. The stellium of Pluto, Venus and Mercury in Capricorn indicates working with others to reform our structures or to obliterate them. The Saturn square Uranus aspect reenforces this. The worst indication is the Moon square Neptune. Those caught in deluded fantasies will continue, but those with a true spiritual path can use this energy beneficially. As long as space abides and as long as the world abides, so long may I abide, destroying the sufferings of the world. ~Shantideva

The Moon is void of course from 3:17 am until 6:03 pm. Avoid making any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Being Alone to Find Everyone

Jupiter, the planet of higher learning and joy, is in the ego transcending sign, Pisces, until the second week of May. Alone time can serve to awaken to the indivisible, fundamental nature in everyone and everything. Compassionate action is favored, but beware of looking for something in return; it might not come. Mercury is starting to slow down and will go retrograde in two weeks. It is highly recommended to make any important plans or appointments before or after that upcoming 3 week period. The thing that makes “you” is something that is very transient. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Inner resources

With Mercury and Venus next to Pluto you are a detective into how you think and relate to others. You will see motives and unconscious patterns that you didn’t see before in yourself. As your awareness of your own deep patterns grows you will also be more wary how power and influence can be either misused or harnessed for good. The Moon moves into Sagittarius today bringing a focus on other cultures, ideals and exploration. Compassionate activity produces beneficial outcomes. But shouldn’t all of us on earth give the best we have to others and offer whatever is in our power?~Hans Christian Andersen

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST 12.10 pm and 6:08 pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Hard work but…

It’s still a day of working diligently but there is more spaciousness to deal with issues. You are able to tap into a more reflective place and there is an inner alignment with your sense of purpose and daily routine. Your thinking and relating are also aligned. There is a disruption during the day but it passes. You have the ability to heal an old pattern today. No matter how dark the world may seem, We must be beacons of light. No matter how grave the world’s deceit, We must be ones who do right.~17th Karmapa

Theme: Busy Bee

Today you can accomplish a lot Even so you may feel pressure to do more. But there is an ‘out’ – through relaxing and being generous with what you have. This helps you balance your emotional well being in the face of daily routines that can bring a sense of confinement and limit your relationships. The Moon moves into Scorpio today intensifying feelings. Jupiter moves into Pisces making good fortune more likely. When they come upon a serpent near to death, Even common crows behave like mighty eagles. Likewise, if I am weak and faint of heart, Even minor faults will become great setbacks.~Shantideva

Theme: Co-ordinated emotional responses

When the Moon enters any air sign (it’s in Libra today and tomorrow) there is a dispassionate response to events that normally evoke strong feelings. It’s a little like you’re standing back watching yourself. Today that distance helps you focus on ‘doing’. This emotional distancing is further reinforced with the number of planets in Capricorn which favor a focus on pragmatic outcomes. Today is a good day for forging new directions. Do it!~Captain Janeway, Star Trek

Theme: Discipline

For the next 9 days or so we have the ability to forego immediate gratification and excel with projects that require intricate work and patience. Today the 60 degree angle between Mercury, our thought and communication, and Neptune’s deep intuition can provide a creative spark and new insights into those around you. Finally, the Moon enters Libra in the middle of the day, and emotional challenges are likely at day’s end. Transcendent discipline consists of avoiding negative actions, undertaking positive actions, and bringing benefit to others. ~Patrul Rinpoche

The Moon is void of course from 3:41 am until 11:25 am EST. It is best not make any big decisions during this time period.
