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

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

Theme: Harnessing your thoughts

With Mercury and Saturn cheek-to-jowl it’s a great opportunity for disciplining your thoughts and ideas – and realizing your projects. In other words thoughtfulness and planning ensure concrete outcomes. Having limitations and boundaries also enables innovative thinking. The Moon trines the Sun today providing a harmonious connection between your purpose and daily life activities. With the Moon Void of Course most of the day it’s a good day to deal with the minutiae rather than bigger plans.

Theme: Creating space

With Mercury shining a magnifying glass on your purpose and Saturn determining the constraints you are facing, now is the time to make sustainable adjustments. Past friendships are helpful today. You can find more space in drawing on the strength of your connections with others and by taking a bigger perspective on life, relationships and the universe. With the Sun in Pisces you have the opportunity to open your heart to the suffering of others, and find meaningful ways to alleviate that suffering.

Know contentment and you will suffer no disgrace; Know when to stop and you will meet with no danger. You can endure.~Lao Tzu

Theme: Thinking through situations

With Mercury, the planet of communication conjunct the Sun and Saturn, thinking through situations can produce beneficial results. Your inner resources are illuminated. You may feel swamped with tasks but you also, equally, have tools at your disposal. The Moon has moved into Libra providing a support bridge for diplomatic solutions intractible conflicts. The Venus/Mars trine to the Moon also boosts your chances of finding alternative pathways to resolve differences.

Theme: Tidy then Confused

As the Moon moves through Virgo today it is an excellent time for cleaning and organizing. Then late in the day the Moon opposes Neptune and we have strange moods. Beware of misunderstandings with others. Remember that we are in a no retrograde phase until April 1st, the next Mercury retrograde. So things should generally move forward rapidly now. The stellia in Aquarius, and Pisces enhance humanitarian and spiritual pursuits.

If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it. ~ Olin Miller

Theme: Subjectivity

It is the time in the 4 month cycle between Mercury retrogrades when the Sun and Mercury are tightly united. For the next week we have more trouble being objective. We can focus intently and be successful if we can be open to other points of view. We are on the cusp of being both restricted by Saturn and expanded by Jupiter. The balance of both forces should be helpful for the next week.

I think I am, therefore, I am… I think. ~George Carlin

Theme: Fanciful of Spiritual?

Mercury has joined the Sun and Saturn in Pisces for 2 and 1/2 weeks. Our thinking becomes more imaginative. We have more potential for wisdom and compassion now. But can we keep grounded in reality at the same time? Venus is united with Mars until the end of the month indicating strong energy for partnership. We can overdo it now as the two planets square Jupiter. And the Moon moves from playful Leo to organizing Virgo in the evening.

The antidote is the realization of compassion, which should be the core of one’s life. ~Jetsunma Akhon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course today until 8:39 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Steady accomplishment

As the Sun approaches Saturn it’s not all doom and gloom. Effort produces result and even the accomplishment of the smallest of tasks can feel rewarding. It’s a good time to draw on your experience and work creatively within limitations rather than kicking against them. You’ll only hurt your toes if you do. The Moon in Leo invites you to play and be creative and Jupiter sextile the Sun promotes expansion and growth. Finding an inner balance is possible at this time.

If you understand comedy, you understand life. Drama, death, tragedy – everybody has these. But with humour you’ve got all these, and the antidote.~Eric Sykes
