Theme: Broad-Minded but Obsessive

Besides a helpful boost from Jupiter, our thinking and communication gets a challenge from powerful Pluto. The danger is in coercing others or being coerced concerning a certain view- point. Best to use this energy for self-understanding and studying the hidden aspects of life. In the first half of the day we are apt to respond with haste and anger. Physical activity can be a needed outlet. The Moon in Aries for the next 3 days gives us much needed inspiration towards our activities. Cure for an obsession: get another one. ~Mason Cooley

Theme: Tune in

With the Moon passing over Neptune today you can adjust your antennae to the subtle undercurrents that impact your everyday life. Slowing down activities helps with this process. Physical energy continues to build, so find a productive outlet. You will be pulled in different directions today so don’t get too frustrated. Your ability to focus and see the possibilities in all things helps you through difficulties. Awareness arises first and then comes knowledge.~The Buddha

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT 7.55 pm and 11:13 pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Passion and Equanimity

As Venus continues in Scorpio, the most deeply passionate sign, we are not satisfied by superficiality in relationships. But can we excuse human failings in others now? In the middle of the day the Moon in Pisces harmonizes with Venus, and we can empathize with a broader circle of people and animals than usual. We will have a fortunate surprise coming from someone close to us. And we will experience excitement about it as the day goes on. Equanimity is this even ground that we are first laying out. On the basis of this, we should then reflect on the merits of tolerance, patience, love, and compassion toward all. ~ H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Physical activity

With the Sun approaching Mars physical activity is a good release of energy at this time. Stretch those legs! Watch out for a tendency to be competitive at the expense of others or overly combative. You have more resilience in the face of adversity than you may realize. Taking time out can re-set your focus. With Mercury continuing to be in in good aspect to Jupiter you can access much needed optimism, faith and hope. With the Moon Void of Course for most of the day planning and contemplating – but not necessarily undertaking is the key. The essence of warriorship, or the essence of human bravery, is refusing to give up on anyone or anything.~Chogyam Trungpa

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT 5.14 am and 4.22 pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Broad Minded

For 3 weeks we have a boost in our communication and thinking. This a good time for seeing the big picture: planning ahead, making good business decisions, and investigating philosophy and religion. For the next two days we have the potential to transform the world around us. Beware of selfish and ruthless motivation, though. Expect emotional suprises around lunchtime. If we really new the truth of suffering, there would not be one moment that we did not practice with the utmost compassion. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Earth Moves

With both the Sun and Moon in earth signs and trine one another – there is a harmony of the earth element. Take advantage of this placement to nurture the environment and your body. Earth signs are also connected more with being grounded, touch, healing the physical elements and methodically achieving goals. You will experience more depth today in your encounters, and a few surprises. We build too many walls and not enough bridges.~Isaac Newton

Theme: Passion and Balance

With Venus in Scorpio there continues to be an intensity and zing in relationships. Today Mars moves into Libra joining Mercury moving you towards seeking balance and harmony in action and thought. You may feel frustration today but it’s more productive to put your attention elsewhere. With the Moon moving into Capricorn you have more energy for achieving long term plans and goals. Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony.~Lou Reed

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT 6.57 am and 7:34 am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Assess the situation

If the unexpected happens today, with a friend or acquaintance then take a step back to assess the situation to enable a broader perspective on your own and others behavior. If it’s a battle of ideas then step back and consider how the past always somehow, influences the present. Focus on your list of to-dos and aim to accomplish your goals. Hold onto your dreams but choose the right time to enact them. You can find space to be generous and be present in the moment. …we just don’t recognize the most significant moments of our lives when they’re happening. Back then I thought, well, they’ll be other days. I didn’t realize that was the only day.~Moonlight Graham

Theme: Still Slower

With Mercury going retrograde in a couple of weeks, the pace of our achievements will slow down even more. The 5 outermost planets continue to be retrograde until early October. It is easier to blame others, but far more virtuous to practice patience. Late October is the beginning of 6 months of rapid progress, in whatever we put our mind to. The second half of today is bolstered with the serious, quiet influence of Saturn. Patience is not simply the ability to wait – it’s how we behave while we are waiting.~Joyce Meyer
