Theme: Generosity of Spirit

The Moon moves into Leo today bringing warmth and playful engagement in encounters. The expression of pride and dignity are themes. The Moon’s trine with Jupiter adds to a sense of expansiveness and generosity. Your thinking is more incisive and there is more leeway in sorting out differences. You see beauty around you more easily.

Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars. Gaze at the beauty of the earth’s greenings. Now, Think.~Hildegard of Bingen

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 5.51am and 7:48am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Power to Make Changes

For the next month Pluto and Jupiter are synchronized in a 60 degree angle. This is a time of changes in the world that happen with our without our input. For those of us who are having impact on others now it is important to think of the greater good. Selfish plans will not work out well. Overall there is much more ease of energy than challenges today. The only outlier planet continues to be Mars, again indicating the futility of egotistic efforts. To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. ~ Winston Churchill

Theme: Mental Creativity

In many ways today is a continuation of yesterday’s strong spiritual potential. Today the asteroid, Pallas Athene, is added to the mix. This enhances any mental creative endeavor. The Moon is in it’s home sign, Cancer, for a few days. We will feel more secure emotionally. This is a good time to focus on the home and family. The Yod with apex Mars will give us more energy. The challenge is to use it wisely. We proved that we are still a people capable of doing big things and tackling our biggest challenges. ~ Barack Obama

Theme: Imagine, Empathize, and Meditate

The trio of Sun, Mercury and Venus are all a harmonious 120 degrees from Neptune. This bolsters creativity, sympathy and mystical pursuits. This opportunity is not usually available. But at the same time there is potential to get really angry. Beware of irritability, but there are times to take a stand for what is right. Meditation is not evasion, it is a serene encounter with reality. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

The Moon is void of course today from 5:30 pm until 7:23 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: The past in the present

With the Sun conjunct Mercury and close to the south node ideas continue to flow and people from your past appear. You have a choice to relate to them as you’ve always done but with an incentive to move away from habitual ways of relating. Sudden opportunity is your guidestar. There is beauty in the moment that is inspiring.

Minor things can become moments of great revelation when encountered for the very first time.~Margot Fonteyn

Theme: A tight spot

Today a you could be between a rock and a hard place. You will feel like you want to run away or get out of the harness you are in. The test is to keep a steady pace on your endeavors and know that effort brings reward. You may be more abrupt with people so watch your habits more closely. Pressure can produce positive change if you can bring thoughtfulness to the situation. The Moon moves into Gemini today bringing a focus on communication in all forms, messages and a focus on siblings.

Like a star, hallucination, candle, magical illusion, dewdrop, bubble, dream, lightning or a cloud—
Know all compounded phenomena to be like this.~the Buddha

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 7.00am and 8:37am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Intense activity and thinking through things

There is a total lunar eclipse today so its definitely a day to focus on what is ethical and virtuous. The T-Square between Sun/Mercury, Moon/Uranus and Saturn creates a sense of restriction and being hemmed in, even bringing feelings of futility. When it feels like you have no room to move, Mercury comes to your rescue and Uranus also helps shift things. Mercury is the messenger that brings news and rapid change. On an inner level you can also re-think how you deal with challenges. Nothing stays the same, and much is possible. With the Full Moon in Taurus energy and activity is at it’s peak. Every good thing really matters. So hold the line and practice mindfulness.

Mindful attention causes beneficial thoughts that have not yet arisen to arise. It also causes harmful thoughts have already arisen to vanish. In the one who is mindful, the good that is to be will be realized.~Buddha

Theme: Ideas

With Mercury conjunct the Sun ideas flow. You have more optimism and confidence is high which helps produce better outcomes. However, more effort is required to understand others view points. The transit of the Moon, opposite the Sun and Mercury, invites you to look more closely at how the past is informing your current actions and outcomes. It’s okay to forge a different path than you normally would. There are rewards for doing things out of your comfort zone.

When you realize the real meaning of the equal nature of all things, To remain in that state without searching is meditation.~Garab Dorje

Theme: Still and Mutable Water

Besides 4 celestial energies ( Sun, Mercury, Venus and the south node) in a still water sign, which runs deep, Scorpio, Jupiter and Neptune are in mutable water, Pisces. Now Venus is harmonizing with Neptune for two weeks. We can be caught in fantasy and illusions, especially in relationships or have great selfless acts of compassion. The Moon finishes in Aries today, so continue to act quickly. There is a nobility in compassion, a beauty in empathy, a grace in forgiveness. ~ John Connolly

The Moon is void of course today from 6:31 pm until 1:16 am EDT the next day. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Subjectivity

For the next week Mercury, our thinking and communications, and the Sun, our sense of purpose, are united. This enhances our concentration, but makes it more difficult to be objective. The Moon has entered Aries for a few days making us quicker to react, and giving us more sense of urgency. Be aware that our Mars energy is still weakened by Neptune until the end of the month, unless we can turn towards prayer, meditation and compassionate motivation. If we really knew the truth of suffering, there would not be one moment that we did not practice with the utmost compassion. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo
