Theme: Swimming

With the Sun, Mercury and Neptune in Pisces there is a strong concentration of water element that brings a sense of being immersed in the journey of life. Feelings flow more and there is a sense of being interconnected with others. Through healing the past your faith in others is also being restored. The Moon in Virgo focuses you on details and while the Sun and other planets in Pisces provide you with a more holistic view of events.

Theme: Active communication

With the Moon opposite Mercury messages and information are flying in many directions. Short trips are definitely on the agenda. Helpful friends turn up to help. The Sun and Moon compliment each other today bringing more harmony between your head and heart. Flexibility and understanding remains the name of the game.

Only after perfecting his understanding of opposing views would he be qualified to refute them. Such debates encourage individuals to maintain flexibility of perspective and honesty rather than seek victory egotistically. ~R. Malhotra

Theme: Stimulating

As the Sun approaches exactly 60 degrees from Uranus our minds are stimulated today. We can learn more than usual from everyday encounters. This is a day to act freely, not to be painstakingly disciplined. There is a nice balance in the 4 elements that the planets are in now. But there is a focus on spiritual surrender, Pisces, and immediate action, Aries. Can we act according to our values today?

If you believe that Enlightenment is the end of suffering, then that is your object of refuge. ~ Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course today from 10:20 pm until 10:40 pm EST. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Well-Being

Especially in the middle of the day, the Moon is trine Jupiter, which is a very beneficial transit. We are broadminded, tolerant and generous. The restricting effect that Saturn had on our thinking and communication has lifted today as well. Our energy shifts late in the day as the Moon squares Uranus. We will be hastier, and jump to conclusions. We will also crave excitement.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Theme: Curiosity and Imagination

For several days the Sun sextiles Uranus which brings new discoveries to our daily encounters. This is a time for free thinking and making changes to our environment. For 2 and 1/2 weeks Mercury is now in Pisces, which also stimulates our imagination and ability to be compassionate. The pitfall is in thinking and communicating what you want to be true, being caught up in fantasy. Finally, the Moon enters Leo in the middle of the day so take some time for play or creativity if possible.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. ~ Albert Einstein

The Moon is void of course today from 9:24 am until 10:17 am EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Pillars and Posts

With Mercury conjunct Saturn and Venus conjunct Jupiter there is contrast between the rough and the smoothe – or constraint and restrictions on speech contrasting with a sense of expansion and peace. The Moon in Cancer is a creative space for reflection and imagination. What is home is the question. Is it with friends, family or something else entirely – or all three? The Sun in Pisces continually prompts us to be of service to something greater than ourselves.

When the realization of interdependence dawns in your mind, Your loving-kindness and compassion become impartial, And you come to perceive all phenomena as pure~Namkha Longyang Gyü

Theme: Promise

With Venus and Jupiter almost exactly conjunct, and shining even brighter when paired together in the heavens, you can feel more optimistic about humanity and the world today in spite of all the challenges and suffering. To seek beneficial change for yourself and all beings requires setting an intention to be of benefit. Venus and Jupiter embody beneficial change shining a light in even the darkest of places. The Sun and Moon are both in water signs encouraging us to connect with our hearts rather than our head.

You can say that space is totally empty but what space is really like leaves words behind.~Tilopa

Theme: Blessings in unexpected places

There’s an interesting conjunction between Venus and Jupiter, and the asteroids Vesta and Chiron right now. Jupiter and Venus alone are the two planets most likely to bring forward merit and therefore some good fortune. With both planets in Aries, there is a direct experience of both receiving benefit and learning how to deliver benefit to others. The nearby asteroids add a nuanced energy that delivers both healing from a past event, and a certain degree of self-reliance that can set you free.

I don’t think people can start too early to understand that we’re all very interconnected and our suffering is shared by so many others.~Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo

The Moon is void of course between 8.07pm and 9.40pm today so take a rain check during this time. Don’t sign contracts or start anything new.

Theme: Energy to spare

With the Moon conjunct Mars today you have more energy today – and enthusiasm – but avoid pushing your way through people or situations. You are more prone to be reactive while this transit occurs. Today, a strong past memory surfaces that can provide a point of healing for you. With the Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Gemini you can go with the flow more in dealing with challenges. In other words you can move around situations rather than facing situations head on.

We need many tools in our meditation toolbox to skilfully manoeuvre the sometimes treacherous waters of life.~Erik Jensen

Theme: Shallow but Deep

The Moon enters chatty, sometimes superficial Gemini in the middle of the day. Yet it is trining Pluto at this time which indicates a desire for depth. The next few days is generally a time to be lighthearted and even pull pranks, but especially in the middle of the day, our emotions are more intense than usual. We should deal with our feelings, but avoid obsessiveness. The part of fortune indicates a sudden, beneficial change in our lives in the mid morning.

Shove me in the shallow waters before I get too deep. ~ Edie Brickell

The Moon is void of course from 9:44 am until 10:49 am EST. Do not make any big decisions at this time.
