Theme: Head and Heart

For a few days Mercury and Venus are united in the sky. This helps us integrate our left and right sides of the brain. We can appreciate the arts, share our intimate feelings, and even get a deeper grasp of our lives as a whole. We have strong control over our emotions, particularly in the first half of the day. This can help us through adversity if the need should arise. So it’s of great importance to continuously generate faith and devotion and develop loving-kindness to all beings, not just superficially but feeling intense care for them until tears start to flow down your cheeks. ~Drubwang Penor Rinpoche

Theme: Disciplined, Depressed and Innovative

For the next few days our thinking and communication is affected in three different ways. We can be disciplined and methodical to great advantage. But we can also feel isolated and depressed. Yet there is also a fiery energy that helps us think outside the box. In the middle of the day the Moon moves from Virgo to Libra. This supports our relationships. We strive for beauty and for having harmony with others. What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful. ~Scott Westerfield

Today the moon is void of course from 6:51 am EST USA until 12:07 pm . If you are in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or sign contracts during this time.

For the next few days

Theme: Stable and Restless

With four celestial energies close together in Taurus there is a solid, earthy feeling. Yet Uranus in Taurus gives us restless and rebellious tendencies. Can we be freer from material concerns now? Mars has entered Cancer for the next seven weeks. We will be more private and touchy about personal matters. For the next few days we will need to step back from some relationships and evaluate them. The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off. ~Joe Klaas

Theme: Unexpected connections

With Venus very close to Uranus relationships are unpredictable and also freeing. Expecting the unexpected is a truism right now. There is generosity and stability to be had elsewhere and there is more physical vitality today. With the Moon moving into Virgo there are opportunities for sorting, sifting, gardening, caring for animal companions and writing. The master said You must write what you see. But what I see does not move me. The master answered Change what you see.~Louise Gluck

Today the Moon is Void of Course from 8.05 am EST USA until 9.08 am. 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: Holding strong

The strength of four planets in Taurus bestows commitment, determination and strength to continue in the direction you are moving in. Emotions are more changeable and swing between feeling free and feeling hemmed in. You are still dealing with unpredictability. Don’t let uncertainty hinder you. The ox is slow but the earth is patient.~Proverb

Theme: Steadfastness

Happy Birthday Taurus and welcome to the world of gentle, stubborn and mostly calm energy. It’s time to look at enjoying creature comforts, security and self-care. With Uranus in the mix of other planets in Taurus there is some volatility in relationships even among the most peaceable of people. The Moon in Leo ushers a sense of playfulness, creativity and dignity into the emotional equation. It makes a great deal of difference whether you call life a dream, a pilgrimage, a labyrinth, or a carnival.~Kenneth Burke

Today the Moon is Void of Course until 2.11 am EST 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: Productivity

With the Moon in Cancer it’s a productive time to engage in sustainable and nurturing activities including caring for Mother earth. Planets in Taurus enable a grounding and focus that also leads to forward movement, one step at a time. There is more potential to draw on spiritual resources. Meditation is particularly productive at this time. Simply relaxing and leaving your mind to itself is itself the realization of timeless awareness.~Longchenpa

Theme: Overcoming the Past

Our subconscious comes to the surface today. Our past karma and past habitual ways of doing things are highlighted. What can we let go of now? At the same time we are restless and looking for excitement. The Aries surge continues for two more days. Then we will slow down and consider our activities in terms of practicality and beauty. Do you like neck pain? Then stop looking behind you into the past. ~Jaclyn Johnston

Theme: Pressured and Adaptable

There continues to be some trial by fire. At the same time there are strong suportive forces. We do not want to back down from confrontations. Can we be kind and patient with others today? Our ability to adapt and move on will be helpful. Our energy becomes softer in the evening. With the Moon moving into Cancer for a few days, we turn towards home and family. Our nurturing ability is aided by strong intuition. So at all times, please be mindful and aware, analyzing and watching your mind so that you don’t get carried away by your disturbing emotions. ~Drubwang Penor Rinpoche

Today the moon is void of course from 11:04 am EST USA until 3:26 pm . If you are in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or sign contracts during this time.

Theme: Subjectivity

Once again for several days we have more ability to focus ourselves on any given task, but we also lose objectivity during this time. For a few more days we have inspiration and speed, yet we are patient and down to earth in our relationships. We continue to have conflicts between wanting stability and wanting progressive change. Can we accept changes that will benefit everyone in the long run? Human beings like to see themselves reflected in clouded mirrors. ~Par Lagerkvist
