Theme: Stubborn or Determined?

The Moon joins Jupiter in Taurus today, bringing the total number of planets in Taurus to five, plus a couple of asteroids. Taurus can be stubborn when pushed too far – but the flip side is perseverance and steady movement towards ones goals. The desire realm is more emphasized in the sign of Taurus, both sensual and aesthetic. You can ask yourself if desire is helping or hindering your forward movement? Jupiter is happy in Taurus and good fortune is more available to you- but while it’s in challenging aspect to Pluto and Mars consider all your options before pressing the start button.

Mind precedes phenomena. Phenomena appear due to mind, and they disappear due to mind.〜 Buddha

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 5:10am until 8:28am. 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: Maintaining perspective

With Jupiter at the apex of a T-square between Pluto and Mars it behooves you to keep your perspective about the big things that happen. In other words don’t blow events out of proportion. Rather, use these moments as turning points. With Jupiter’s involvement there is always a silver lining. The element of air is diminished today so take a breath when you need to, and pause. You may not be able to see what’s going on today but tomorrow is a new day.

In law there are “magic words.” If one of them applies to what you are challenging, you have a good chance of getting it overturned.~Sarah Weddington

Theme: Re-fresh

With the Moon now in Aries you can generate energy and move forward with daily tasks that might have languished in never-never land. Mars is in good aspect to Neptune bringing a heightened a sensitivity to the results of your actions. There are still strong forces at work with Pluto still retrograde, opposing Mars and pushing deep unconscious habits to the surface of your mind. This means you can see what drives you more clearly, but you can also feel more uncomfortable while you are processing this information.

Poems are like dreams: in them you put what you don’t know you know.~Adrienne Rich

Theme: Freedom of expression

With the Moon in Aquarius for the next few days you can socialize and engage with your community with more ease and breeze. Stretch, open your arms wide and connect with the greater world around you. Mars and Venus are both in the sign of Cancer bringing a focus on family and home. Cancerian energy brings emotional sensitivity, and creativity that stems from the past. It is good to pay attention to the tender tendrils of your heart at this time.

Theme: Potency

With the Moon conjunct Pluto opposite Mars you should inhale, but remember to exhale! Lots of mixed emotions today put you on tenterhooks and physically you’re up and down. The saving grace is Jupiter and the north node in aspect to these planets signaling a steady hand and sending beneficence to soften the emotional impact and provide more perspective on what you are experiencing. Integration is possible with courage to explore the depths.

Hold back your mind from pride, for pride comes from ignorance.~Krishnamurti

Theme: Finding stability

In the midst of change there are quiet moments and places to ground yourself. The Moon in Capricorn focuses attention on practical matters. Jupiter moves into Taurus today bringing more material stability and opportunities for wealth. There is lots of support for your brain and thinking through things and working out solutions. Key people are of particular help in this regard.

All sentient beings are inherently equal. We all have the Buddha-nature equally.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Twists and Turns

With the Sun and Uranus ‘cheek to jowl’ expect the unexpected and some ‘bursting out’ energy as people seek freedom from constraints and limitations. World events are more volatile right now. It pays to keep your heart open in whatever way you can to avoid cutting off from yourself or others. The waning moon in Capricorn enables a focus on finishing projects.

Your form is your meaning, and your meaning dictates the form.~Joyce Cary
