Theme: “Where’s the fire, buddy?”

This old American policeman saying can be said to the planets, Sun and Moon now. There is no energy in a fiery, inspirational sign. So we have a hard time being motivated, and we can be overly dramatic in an effort to compensate. We can, though, unite our unconscious and conscious drive in a practical, earthy manner. Meditation and private time can help stabilize the tendency to be nervous and distracted. Courage is an inner resolution to go forward despite obstacles; Cowardice is a submissive surrender to circumstances. ~Martin Luther King Jr

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT 12.42am until 2:03am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Create beauty but don’t forget the finer points

It’s a day when you can really experience a sense of beauty and harmony – and create that environment for yourself. It may require some solitude to touch that place in yourself and the world around you. Of course there are always things to challenge you, and astrologically speaking continue to expect the unexpected. A Libran Moon invites us to find balance in even the most difficult of circumstances and the Virgo Sun enables us to understand the causes and conditions. If you shift your focus from yourself to others and think more about other’s well-being and welfare, it has an immediate liberating effect.~HH Dalai Lama

Theme: Thinking things through

Today you have more time to think things through and articulate your feelings more readily. The Moon has moved into Libra (joining Mercury and Venus there) encouraging a more balanced approach to daily life, some social time and seeing more beauty around you. You can get work done helped by the Sun in the earth sign of Virgo this month. The sign of Virgo is also part of of a larger galaxy signaling that this sign is also full of mystery and surprises. The Virgo Cluster, the most significant collection of galaxies with the home address “Local Supercluster,” has a center some 55 million light-years away.~Sarah Scoles

Theme: Health challenges

Today with Mars hovering close to the Moon your emotional and physical health is more impacted. Neptune obscures what is going on but if you can take a step back and contemplate issues you will have insights. With Mercury opposite Chiron others do offer you healing perspectives. Courage is the mantra for today – courage to investigate the causes and conditions that create suffering, for ourselves and others. Leap and the net will appear.~Zen proverb

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT 3.24pm until 11:20pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Thank you Miranda for your wonderful astrological posts while Jampal has been away. Jampal returns this week with his daily astrological updates. Wangmo continues posting as usual.

Theme: Staying in the Moment

You might start the day feeling rather indulgent and sleeping in a little, then enjoying a leisurely brunch with a close or intimate friend. You may enjoy working on a creative project. By mid afternoon, reality sets in, that the weekend is almost over and it’s time to throw in a load of washing, vacuum the house and generally get things straightened out for the coming week.
And no, you’re not losing it, but the Moon has moved from warm and fiery Leo to pragmatic, perfectly earthy Virgo! If we are not fully ourselves, truly in the present moment, we miss everything.~Thich Nhat Hanh

Theme:  All that glitters is not gold

With the Moon moving into Leo you may feel a surge of vitality and self confidence that overcomes a feeling of aloofness and aloneness in social groups. There is an increase in social chatter and interaction that may leave you vulnerable to scammers and some deceit. Time in seclusion or retreat can be of benefit at this time.~You may study a lot and become a great scholar, but if you can’t subdue your own mind, what’s the point? HH Penor Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT 1.37 am until 11:58am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme:  Flying Kites

We have another Earth Trine today but this time it is joined by the Moon opposite Pluto which forms a kite. This configuration literally looks like a kite with the Moon drawing out the energy of the other 3 planets and acting as a catalyst. You can expect some intense emotional encounters with others as you express your wish for profound change at a foundational level in your life. Communications could get rocky without some pre-planning of delivery but there is also potential for beneficial results that could nurture others and produce dynamic change. It’s a bird’s imagination, not its wings, that determines how high it can fly.~Matshona Dhliwayo
