Theme: Dancing mindfully

With the Moon opposite so many planets in Taurus it’s a case of watching your step and being mindful – while still enjoying the moment. There are many possibilities but only some situations you can change. A good friend rescues you from a challenging situation. Take time to take a deep breath and relax in the moment. How can we know the dancer from the dance?~Yeats

Theme: Empty yet full

With the full Moon in Scorpio today what else could it be but a full day! There is always an intensity with Scorpio so watch for the depth of emotions and one to one connections with others. With the Moon void of course for the first half of the day it’s initially difficult to accomplish concrete outcomes early on so exercise patience until the tide turns your way. Vitality is good today and is needed to accomplish the many tasks at hand. It is the empty space which makes the wheel useful.~Lao Tzu

Today the Moon is Void of Course from 8.40 am EST USA until 12.18 pm. 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: 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

4/23/2021 Friday by Jampal & Wangmo

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
