Theme: Distilling

With the Moon in the last waning phase before the new moon on the 18^th of June it’s good to find time to process all that has occurred in this last lunar month (since the 19^th of May). The dark phase of the moon is helpful for inner examination and reflection. On other fronts, it’s a day of mixed blessings. There is energy to complete tasks but challenges in dealing with others. With Neptune opposite Ceres it’s timely to explore the spiritual connections that help grow the giving side of your nature, that in turn returns sustenance to others.

A common teaching is that one should so discreet and selfless, that if you are doing seva [selfless service], that if you are doing seva from the left hand, even your right hand should not find out about it.~Abhinandan Chaudhary

Theme: Moving one step at a time

With the Moon moving into Taurus today there will be steady forward movement in plans and projects for the next 2-3 days. Today, there is a fortuitous connection between the Moon and the North Node and Jupiter which gives you cause for optimism in the goodness of people. However, with the Moon also square to Pluto you will be asked to let go of your attachment to outcomes in a deep way. Also, don’t pay lip service to suggestions today. It could backfire. Best to pay attention to mindful speech.

When one gives completely, there is no one left to watch what is being given, and no one to appreciate how generous one is being. This is called “giving the giver.”~Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 2.27pm until 2:31pm. 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: Unusual outcomes, but possibly good!

Today you make fortuitous connections with people but there may be some stress involved as the energy is about changing positions and postures – in other words, being flexible. Overall you have good physical energy but have to be more mindful of the adage ‘you are what you eat’, today. Close interpersonal relationships continue to be important. A challenge is giving latitude for people to have freedom in relationship.

Theme: Responsiveness

With the lack of activity-cardinal and water signs today you may find yourself responding to situations that are not directly caused or initiated by you. It’s always a question then about how reactive you will be in these circumstances- as opposed to experiencing spacious compassion. Close partnerships and health remedies are more prominent today as you seek connections with loved ones and healing.

Everybody has to die, but I always believed an exception would be made in my case. Now what?~William Saroyan

Theme: Balancing intensity

The Moon moves into Aquarius today bringing a more dispassionate, observational quality to your experiences today. And yet, with the Moon conjunct Pluto, you have another reminder to work at feeling connected with your heart and feelings so that you are not compelled by unconscious wishes. Honorable friends are helpful in guiding you at this time. If someone is combative use non-oppositional and skillful methods to step around them.

At first, turn away from non-virtue, In the middle, dispel misconceptions of self, Finally, go beyond all philosophical views— One who understands this is wise indeed.~Aryadeva

The Moon is Void of Course today until 4:42am. 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: Helping hands

With Venus opposite Pluto square the nodes, thus forming a Grand Cross, Venus is the ice-breaker providing help in a challenging environment. Helping hands in the form of friends and acquaintances buoy you. Another way of seeing this aspect is that you are being impelled to reach deeply into your inner psyche to seek beneficial change. The Moon is in good aspect to the Mercury/Uranus conjunction signaling more latitude in problem solving especially in relation to your daily routine.

If you can see, look. If you can look, observe.~José Saramago

Theme: Transforming relationship patterns

With Venus directly opposite Pluto today and square the North Node you can delve into experiences of relationship loss and turn it into a touchstone for transformation. Relationships take many forms and there are pivotal relationships that are lost to death or other circumstances that provide an opportunity for you to contemplate the nature of reality and examine the legacy of those people you have lost. Venus has moved into Leo bringing a spark of enthusiasm and sense of playful dignity to relationships. The waning Moon has moved into Capricorn focusing attention on practical completion of tasks.

If, in her dream, a young girl has a baby boy who later dies, She feels joy at first, then grief—
Know all things to be like this.~The Buddha

The Moon is Void of Course today until 3.31am EDT. Do not make any big decisions during this time period .
