Theme: Breakthrough or breakdown?

The T-square between Mars, Saturn and Uranus at the apex has been a topic of conversation the last few weeks. Today it peaks as the Moon conjuncts Uranus. The push of Mars has been constricted by Saturn, bringing a great deal of frustration. Uranus squaring this foundation has pushed us to the brink a few times already. The desire to break free of restrictions has been building. Now with this conjunction we feel this is the time to breakthrough what has been holding us back, either a situation or a person. Sometimes we can act rashly or impulsively and throw the baby out with the bath water. Sometimes external circumstances force our hand. And sometimes the way forward is illuminated. A Flash of Lightening in the Dark of Night.

Theme: Good Friends, Good Memories, Good Food.

As the Moon moves into Taurus we enjoy meeting with old friends in nature, sharing stories from the past and rejoining with spiritual friends. Feelings of security, stability and belonging fill us with joy as we share time with our chosen community. A picnic is the order of the day! Finally, we begin to see that all people, including ourselves are to some extent emotionally ill as well as frequently wrong, and then we approach true tolerance and see what real love for our fellows actually means.~ Alcoholics Anonymous

Today the Moon is Void of Course until 8.15 am EDT USA time. If you’re in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or signing contracts during this time.

Theme: Light relief

With the T-square still in action (Mars, Saturn, Uranus) it’s nice to get some relief. The Moon is trine both Venus and Mars, which will bring enjoyment with good food and company, plus a great deal of energy to keep pace with the heat of the day. A good day for kayaking or swimming. The Moon is also sextile Saturn, that can bring a calm, reflective mood by the evening. Perhaps a soothing meditation to end your day? This state of mind so precious and so rare arises truly wondrous, never seen before . The pain-dispelling draft, This cause of joy for those who wander through the world-This precious attitude, this jewel of mind, How shall it be gauged or quantified?~Shantideva

Theme: Dreams and insights

There is a softer, dream like quality to the day. It’s an opportunity for meditation and watching your mind. You have more insight into the feelings of yourself and others which gives you more space to contemplate the best way to deal with difficult emotional situations. The Moon moves into Aries later today bringing a more direct ‘can-do’ approach to matters. The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one.~Oscar Wilde

Theme: Slow down

With the Moon in Pisces you can slow your pace, contemplate and explore the inner parts of your life. The Sun in Cancer affords you more energy to nurture your self and others. Combined these two planets in the water signs put you in closer touch with your feelings. Today there is more harmony and less friction – and a call for more spontaneity and exploration. You are your own guardian. Who else could be your guardian.~The Buddha

Theme: Continued mindfulness

With the T-Square still operating between Saturn, Uranus and Mars, and peaking between the 1st and 3rd of July, it’s good to continue with the practice of patience, restraint and mindfulness. There will be provocation and disruption, although sometimes disruption can set you on a better course. Today Jupiter calms the emotional waters. With the Moon moving into Pisces you are more connected to your feelings and others. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere.~Yoda

Today the Moon is Void of Course until 1.51pm EDT USA. If you’re in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or signing contracts during this time.

Theme: Unexpected interruptions

The Moon conjuncts Saturn and activates the T-square between Saturn, Mars and Uranus. This may bring about emotional tensions with a potential for sudden eruptions of temper, leaving you lonely and isolated. Venus moving into Leo could save the day allowing you to express yourself warmly and open heartedly. Because understanding is the very foundation of love, words and actions that emerge from our love are always helpful. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Today the Moon is Void of Course from 3:08 pm EST USA until 1.51 pm the next day. If you’re in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or signing contracts during this time.

Theme: Passionate Intensity

Intense emotions surface with the conjunction of Moon and Pluto, bringing them to the surface to transform. This can be helpful when practicing. On a personal level you may explore deep seated feelings with another person that could be overwhelming. As the Moon moves into Aquarius during the day the passions shift from the personal more to group or community concerns. So suppose, then, we were in the posture of understanding in a deep and profound way the correct view of how to see, how to know, how to experience devotional yoga.~Jetsunma Akhon Lhamo

Theme: Enjoy the day

Neptune is basking in a loving relationship with the Moon and Venus, fostering our empathy and compassion for others and inspiring our creativity. As we explore our new freedoms, we may leave routine behind today and involve ourselves with spontaneous and unexpected activities. Results may be pleasantly surprising. If you go down in the woods today, You’re sure for a big surprise!~The Teddy Bears Picnic
