Theme: Balancing priorities

Today the Moon wends its way slowly from Libra to Scorpio making it a day of inner reflection, self-care and deepening. With the Moon forming a T-Square today with other planets there is dynamic shifting energy that requires sometimes stepping back to step forward. With a T-square aspect tension builds and then gives way – a bit like ocean waves on a shore. With the benefic planets of Venus and Jupiter involved there – and a Mystic rectangle formed between Neptune, Venus, Ceres and Pluto – an alternative harmonious route is accessible that transforms the tension.

Theme: Finding the middle way

With the Moon in Libra there is always a balancing act going on with priorities and decision making. Today you have more opportunities to sort the wheat from the chaff and make informed decisions. The Sun in Gemini facilitates a plethora of messaging, texting, call and response etc. Watch out your phone doesn’t blow up! Gemini energy is good for sorting out relationships with those who occupy the place of brothers and sisters in your life.

The Moon moves into Libra today bringing decision making and an artistic designing eye to the world. Friendships are prominent. The Moon opposite Neptune and trine Pluto today invites major outer planetary energy into your private universe. You may not see things clearly, in a worldly sense, but your inner world can be rich and fulfilling. Transformation requires courage and Pluto invites us to deepen our values and let go of de-valuing ourselves. Towards the end of the day you get more energy to do things.

Theme: The spinning wheel of fortune or karma…

With the nodes adding to the potency of Mars-Pluto-Jupiter T-Square and making a Grand Cross – there is much karma being bought forward and opportunities to change trajectories. The Wheel of Fortune is spinning. The key is seeking opportunity in unlikely quarters – a bit like a fish going upstream. It may feel difficult to make headway but you can reach a new place if you are prepared to go against your habitual grains and focus on the ultimate goal. Today the Moon is square Uranus adding an unusual spice to the day.

If you don’t begin with thorough analysis, How will perfect certainty ever arise? If this noble confidence does not arise, How will false projections ever cease?~Mipham Rinpoche

Theme: Insights

With the Moon conjunct Mars prompting strong reactions today, it’s a great opportunity for developing insights into how you limit your view through what you are experiencing. The T-Square with Moon/Mars is a little like a pressure cooker but release is through insight: Jupiter and Pluto invites you to take the bigness of this moment and develop resilience. Pluto represents the Great Mother and Jupiter, a wide-angled lense on the world. The Earth, one aspect of the Great Mother, beckons and we are its custodians. How will you respond?

I have shown you the methods that lead to liberation, But you should know that liberation depends upon yourself.~Shakyamuni Buddha

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 5:12am until 10:35am. 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: Bliss

Today, with Venus conjunct the Moon there is a moment of relaxation, joy, and even bliss. There is an alignment of your purpose in spite of the challenges of Mars which can include momentary unexpected health issues. Tapping into generosity can relieve stress. It’s a time for renewal and being flexible.

Buddhanature can be summed up in a single word: courage – specifically the courage to be just as we are, right here, right now, with all our doubts and uncertainties.~Mingyur Rinpche

Theme: Courage, mon brave!

Prominent Pluto energy right now reminds us to be brave in recognizing our inner demons, as Pluto slowly, inexorably draws any ‘stuckness’ into the light. You might not like what you find, but you’ll be able to move forward once these deep unhelpful habits are let go. Jupiterian energy expands your mind, giving a greater context to these habitual patterns, and Mars prompts frustration and a wish to see the enemy as outside you rather than within. This wish can be antidoted by patience and introspection. The Sun in Gemini and the new Moon in Cancer highlights communications of all kinds and finding solace in home.

Effortless compassion arises when you rest within the nature of your mind. How? When you see your own true nature, it is very blissful, great joy. Then you understand from personal experience that such sublime happiness actually exists, yet limitless sentient beings have not seen this. Who have not experienced this nature suffers greatly. ~His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche
