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.

Theme: Clearing Out

The best way to cope with the peak tension between Saturn and Uranus is to let go of what is not working in our lives. If we are not conscious of the stress, or if we hang on to the status quo, illness and accidents are very possible. Happy Holidays! (lol) There is also energy for pleasant social encounters. Neptune adds a mystical force to the day. Be patient with others, and beware of potential misunderstandings. You only struggle because you’re ready to grow but aren’t willing to let go. ~Drew Gerald

Theme: Serving Others

The Moon is in a particularly powerful position today. It is in Virgo, whose highest expression is to be humbly useful. We seek freedom early in the day. Then we have an ease of harmony between our activities and our purpose. But we are irritable and hasty late in the day. It is best to work off extra energy, and be careful with machinery. Be gentle in relationships because Pluto’s intensity is affecting them. The only thing that is meaningful is to make this life a vehicle by which you can come to benefit beings. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course from 1:41 am until 3:25 am. It is best not to make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: What are you Building?

The Sun has joined Mercury, Venus and Pluto in the ambitious sign, Capricorn. This is not an ordinary foursome. Pluto continues to destroy our norms and structures for 3 more years. Uranus, the disrupter, has 4 more years to disturb what we own and value. I think that they are working together, but I can’t prove it! So can we let go of ego-centric fears and build on the solid foundation of compassion and honesty? Or are we caught in seemingly self-serving delusions? We learned about honesty and integrity – that the truth matters… that you don’t take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules… and success doesn’t count unless you earned it fair and square. ~Michelle Obama
