Theme: Prayer, Meditation and Selfless Action

Now the Moon has joined Mercury, Neptune, the Sun and Saturn in Pisces, the sign of transcending the self. We will experience some loneliness and restriction especially in the middle of the day as the Moon and Saturn are tightly united. But they are sextile to Jupiter which mitigates this. It continues to be a time of highly concentrated energy as all 10 major celestial bodies are within 108 degrees out of the 360 degrees possible.

Open your eyes and look around. All sentient beings are suffering. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Artistic or Delusional?

With Mercury exactly conjunct Neptune early in the day, we have enhanced creativity, and compassion. Or we can be caught in fantasy, seeing only what we want to see. Be careful in communication for a few more days. Sometimes it is best too say nothing. There are 4 major celestial energies in Pisces, 4 in Aquarius, and 2 in Taurus. So the themes are compassion, spirituality, humanitarianism, originality, practicality and beauty.

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. ~Albert Einstein

The Moon is void of course today from 1:57 pm until 8:05 pm EST. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Connecting to your inner path

The Moon’s transit activates Mars and Venus which means that on the one hand your emotional triggers are heightened, but on the other hand means you have more tools to navigate challenges, with good results. Your dreams maybe more significant at this time, bringing messages in them. Big changes are on the cards as Jupiter moves closer to Uranus. When change comes be flexible and responsive, but don’t exaggerate the scope.

By training our heartmind to openness and perceptual curiosity, the dancing moves easily from landscapes inside our bodyminds to the energy fields in the space around.~Barbara Dilley

Theme: Change is unavoidable!

The Moon moves into Aquarius today prompting a change in your daily routine and inviting new community connections. Mercury conjunct Neptune in Pisces makes communications very fluffy. Even if you’re absolutely sure what you said it will be heard differently. It’s important to be very careful and moderate in your speech at this time. Pluto conjuncts the Moon today bringing an emotional intensity to the day. ‘Time out’ is welcome respite.

Whoever sees the nature of one thing is said to see the nature of everything.~Aryadeva

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 2.35pm until 7:38pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Building giving bridges

The Moon is close-by the asteroid Ceres today shining a light on how we nourish ourselves and care for others. With the Moon in Capricorn the focus is on practical outcomes. Capricorn Moon and Pisces Sun invite us to draw on our respective spirituality or spiritual tradition to operate in the world. With Jupiter continuing to be at right angles to Venus and Mars the pressure on relationships increases as there are many things to accomplish right now.

Before eating, we can look at dishes on the table and breathe in and out to see if this food and drink is good for us and whether eating it will harm or help develop our compassion.~Thich Nhat Hahn

Theme: Possibilities

The Sun is moving away from Saturn. That’s a relief. And Mercury is pulling away from the Sun making communications a tad clearer. While there are challenges today with the Moon squaring the Sun, making the life-work balance difficult, there is a harmonious connection between the Moon and the Venus/Mars conjunction. So overall the news it good but still there are tests along the way.

It is our consciousness that designs our world.~Thich Nhat Hanh

Theme: Excitement in Relationships

Venus square Uranus is almost exact today indicating that we crave excitement in our close relationships. The excitement theme is augmented by Mercury sextile Uranus for a few days. This is a particularly good time to tackle old problems with a fresh perspective. The study of science, technology, astrology and the occult are favored. Emotionally there is tension in the middle of the day as the Moon squares the Sun.

Don’t mistake excitement for happiness. The former is feverish and combustible; the latter is serene and long-lasting. ~Anoir Ou-Chad

Theme: Thinking Big

The stellium of the Sun, Mercury and Saturn is sextile to Jupiter today. Besides being broadminded, we are optimistic and “lucky”. We can work well with others, even those in authority today. And this is a good time for higher learning, studying religion, philosophy and long distance travel. The Moon enters Sagittarius in the middle of the day, and is sextile to Pluto. We feel deeply, and wish to get to the bottom of issues.

A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules. ~Leonardo DiCaprio

The Moon is void of course today from 2:49 am until 8:57 am EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Responsibilities

Saturn continues to be in a strong position, tightly conjunct the Sun and Mercury, but in the spiritual sign, Pisces. This is a time of duties and responsibilities. We will need to focus our energy on what must be done, as we have less verve than usual. We will feel more emotionally isolated than usual. Can we apply ourselves spiritually and make the most of this Pisces energy? The Moon opposes Uranus in the middle of day and we are looking for excitement.

I believe that to meet the challenge of our times, human beings will to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. ~ H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Moving on

You are still dealing with structures and strictures. However, with both the Sun and Moon in water signs you also dealing with feelings, especially with the Moon in Scorpio which intensifies emotions. You can take the opportunity to investigate what unconsciously motivates and propels you. It’s also an opportunity to slough off old outmoded habits. Look for ways you can benefit from the healing element of water. When the Moon goes opposite Uranus expect some disruption.

I see the work as a whole first. Then I compose the details. In working out, I always lose something. This cannot be avoided. There is always some loss when we materialize. But there is compensating gain in vitality.~Arnold Schoenberg
