Theme: Quest for Freedom

Moon is exactly opposite Jupiter around noon which stimulates a drive for personal freedom. Questions may arise about your core values and aspirations in life. As we know Jupiter is in close proximity to Uranus and has been for a few weeks, so this theme is not new but now is front and center. You may be experiencing a deeper evaluation of your values. What  needs to change due to external disruptive events that are affecting everyone at this time ? The big question is: what does freedom mean to you?

Theme: Still going on

Yesterday blurs and blends in with today. Was their any difference between yesterday and today? The Moon is still opposing Jupiter and Uranus but with even more precision. But thankfully, as the Moon pulls away from this conjunction there is a conclusion. And there are softer edges to the day in the form of harmonious aspects between the Moon, Venus and Neptune. In that space there is an appreciation of beauty and feeling interconnected and more open-hearted. The Sun in Aries helps you forge a new path.

Without stirring abroad one can know the whole world; without looking out of the window one can see the way of heaven. The further one goes the less one knows.~Lao Tzu

Theme: Uptick

With the Moon in Scorpio opposite the Jupiter and Uranus conjunction today there are unexpected events particularly in relation to equipment and finances. The Moon both magnifies and reflects reality back to us. In Scorpio the emotional responses are intensified and deep. With that in mind, whatever is happening around you can be a point of reflection for uncovering deep emotional patterns that promote a fixed way of viewing reality.

We compare the present with what we have experienced in the past and we seem to recognize it. We paint the new information with the old colors we already have inside us. This is why most of the time we don’t have direct access to reality, to things as they are.~Thich Nhat Hahn

Theme: Rejuvenate

Find ways today to rejuvenate yourself. The Moon conjunct the south node opposite the Sun, Chiron and Mercury could make you feel more sensitive. It helps to activate your self-care mode: take time for reflection, rest and hydration when you can. The less said the better in some ways. With Venus in Pisces sextile Jupiter and Uranus you are bound to feel more of the suffering in the world because your heart is more open. It also means you can free yourself to rejoice in the things that matter.

Theme: Peacemaking in times of conflict

The Moon in Libra provides energy for adjudication of conflict through brokering peace deals. This can be a diplomatic friend weighing in between two warring friends or diplomacy on a larger scale. The challenge of Libran energy is to finalize any deal. As Jupiter approaches closer to Uranus there is more volatility in a variety of domains. It’s an opportunity to be open to new possibilities as well as developing an understanding of how to deal with uncertainty.

I love, from my heart I love, liberty.~Daniel O’Connell

Theme:  Passionate Sensitivities

Passion is intensified with a Moon/ Pluto contact, although largely beneficial it can increase obsessiveness. You may feel it on a personal level or with Pluto in Aquarius the focus may be on a world level. With the Moon opposite Neptune sensitivities will be doubly heightened and may bring confusion and misunderstanding. If you focus and direct your energy on a humanitarian or compassionate level, it will be easier to deal with this transit.

“ As long as the idea of self exists, self will experience other with either attraction or repulsion….. What if all suffering comes from the belief in self nature?”
Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme:  Closeness and Separation

The main focus today is a mixed aspect. On one hand there will be a gathering of close family and friends, with women being the main focus. There is a desire for social contact and with Moon and Venus, the main downside can be extravagance or overindulgence!
On the other hand Venus and Saturn have been in tight aspect for sometime, which can bring a time of separation and sadness from loved ones. The Moon in opposition will accentuate your feelings but overall will draw you closer to friends and family.

“ What barrier is there that love cannot break?”   Mahatma Gandhi

Theme: Not Self but Service

The Moon moves into Virgo today which helps to respond analytically to experiences and emotions. That could be very helpful as Mars in opposition could trigger feelings of irritability and bring about discordant energy.
Using contemplation we can develop patience to deal with situations that could provoke impulsive behavior we could later regret!
We can also channel our energy into serving others, contributing to overcoming self doubt.

“ The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”

Theme: Definition

As the Sun in Aries pulls away from Neptune, ones personal boundaries and sense of self solidify. And yet relationships are harder to navigate. Avoid being judgmental with yourself and others at this time as Venus and Saturn are a strained partnership. On the one hand Venus in Pisces overflows with generosity and love and on the other Saturnian energy says there are practical and real boundaries necessary for commitments. With the gibbous Moon in Leo you can review your achievements thus far with a view to improving outcomes, while remembering to give praise where praise is due.

We are trying to propose another politic of love where it’s not about possession or donation or eternal love or death or eternity or whatever. It’s more about love as a dynamic that can only grow.~Celine Sciamma

Theme: A change of seasons

Welcome to Spring or Autumn wherever you are, and the entry of the Sun into Aries. It’s a dynamic, changing time with new initiatives and start-ups of all kinds. The energy of Aries asks us to have courage to forge new paths as individuals. It’s also about new beginnings. The energy of Aries is more self-absorbed than other signs as it seeks to individuate. The challenge of this sign is to bring others along in your own journey, which you can do so long as it’s empowering of others. With Venus conjunct Saturn you are being asked to be more disciplined in your relationships with others, while learning from your mistakes.

The mind is devoid of mind, For the nature of mind is clear light.~The Buddha
