Theme: Minding the mind

With the Moon in Scorpio opposing the Uranus Jupiter conjunction expect a few emotional outburst moments as unexpected internal pressures are exposed. Remember to draw on the stabilizing force of the Sun in Taurus during this month. There is fortitude and perseverance to be had at this time. With Mars conjunct Neptune energy levels fluctuate and direct approaches in dealing with conflict may not not necessarily resolve issues.

In the vast ocean of existence, suffering ripples through every one’s journey. Realizing this universal truth, why not cultivate kindness as the luminous light that dissipates the shadows of pain?~Namgay Dawa Rinpoche

Theme: Deepening

The Moon moves into Scorpio today providing you with the opportunity to investigate your innermost feelings, especially the feelings that impel you to do things a particular way. It can be confronting at first to deal with the depth of feelings but embracing this depth can transform old, outmoded habits into new ways of emotionally operating. The Sun in Taurus is a good anchor amidst a sea of unceasing change.

Ignorance is the parent of fear.~Herman Melville

Theme: Passing phases

Jupiter has moved past Uranus but is still inspiring change. The annual march of the Sun towards Uranus has begun which is less global in its reach and more personal. Each year with this aspect you can ask yourself how flexible and responsive are you to change? The Sun in Taurus gives us the opportunity to examine our values and how we define security for ourselves. The gibbous Moon in Libra inspires more diplomacy in daily encounters and a review of where things stand.

When you can see all the caues that led to another person’s actions, forgiveness arises naturally.~Thich Nhat Hahn

Theme:  The Grand Finale

Finally Uranus and Jupiter come to a point of conjoining. This is a time of radical breakthroughs on a personal and global level. Expect to see and experience sudden and swift changes that are overall positive. The potential is there for us all to break free from obstructive circumstances and create new beginnings. If we close down to those opportunities we may experience it as disruption and upheaval. Focus on opening our heart to our truest values and fulfilling our deepest dreams and we will discover….

“  There is nothing to fear but fear itself.”
Franklin D Roosevelt

Theme:  Continuing on

Most of us have experienced a great deal of stress with Uranus/Jupiter building up to this conjunction. Uranus works by bringing an electric restlessness to the surface, strong desire to change our lives on a deeper level, but often we resist that call. We are left peering into the abyss longing to both fly and run home to safety. Today there is a fleeting challenge between Moon and Mars that could lead to feelings of irritability or argumentative. If we resist the urge to speak or act rashly, the day will be very pleasant and enjoyable.

The Moon is void of course today from 8:20 pm until 11:08 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions during this period.

Theme:  Final Days

Jupiter and Uranus have been a major focus for several weeks now but are finally in the last days of their conjunction in Taurus, culminating on Sunday. They are currently exact by degree and on the 21st by minute.
This is generally considered to be very positive at the time of conjunction. Expect to see sudden changes and improvements in your life. It’s even known as the lottery winning transit! And with the influence of Taurus it can be about money and possessions but on another level it’s about values. What are our values? What is important to us? Jupiter brings a greater wish for freedom and vision of an ideal future.
The next 2 days will be dedicated to this important transit.

Theme: Sweet and Sour

With Venus presently in Aries relating directly with others is more helpful at this time, even though it might not always feel comfortable. With Mercury still retrograde and conjunct Chiron there is an opportunity to reflect on your communication style and find ways to heal old wounds around your communication habits. The Moon in Leo continues to invite us to play more and worry less.

The modern world as a whole, with its hectic, stimulating lifestyle, has picked up tremendous speed. But even if a train is going a million miles per hour, if you load it with the weight of all beings’ suffering, it will stop in an instant….All you have to do is get out of your head, situate yourself fully in the heart and add the suffering of others to your own.~Dzigar Kongrul

Theme: Evolving relationships

With the planet of relationships, Venus, nestled in closely with the north node, it’s time to rethink your way of connecting with others. You can ask yourself questions such as how can I relate to others more harmoniously, and what habits prevent me from moving forward in relationships? With so many planets remaining in Aries you have energy to move forward in your endeavors. Today you feel a little out of sorts, but nothing rest won’t heal.

A good idea is something that does not solve just one single problem, but rather can solve multiple problems at once.~Shigeru Miyamoto

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 7.22pm until 10:24pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
