Theme: Fortune favors the brave

With a grand trine between the Moon, Venus and Mercury, and the north node, harmony, good communications and beneficial relationships bring positive results. With the Sun still in close square to Neptune you still have to be mindful of your energy levels and emotionally, any habits to martyr oneself in difficult situations and mis-read the motives of others. With the Moon in Virgo it’s a good time to attend to details.

There’s no way to achieve liberation in dependence upon non-virtue.~Gyatrul Rinpoche

Theme: Patience and Flow

With Saturn opposite the Sun today you bear responsibilities and carry a heavier load than usual. But as always in the heavens there are offsets and this comes with the Moon trine the Sun bringing harmony, flow and the support of friends. With the Moon Void of course for much of the day avoid trying to sort things out with bureaucracy. Small gains bring you closer to your overall goal.

Theme: Non-distraction

With the Sun square Neptune you will have less energy and focus – but you can draw on self-discipline with Saturn sextile Sun batting away vagueness and distraction. The Moon in Leo also helps, shining a light thus dispelling the fog. Today you have more insight into how you’re own suffering can be transformed into wisdom. With the waning Moon it is time to consolidate and tie down lose ends.

When elderly eyes long for youthful strength There’s the toxic taste of attachment. Once clinging to this physical body Is freed in absolute space, Youth and age have one taste.~Patrul Rinpoche

Theme: From Passionate to Playful

Through the middle of the day, the Moon is in Cancer and opposed to Pluto, which brings intense emotional experiences with others. Then it enters Leo and we become more lighthearted and playful. It is then a good 2 1/2 day period for all forms of creative self-expression. Jupiter bolsters our mood, and our concern for others most of the day. Take advantage of prayer, meditation and any humanitarian opportunities. I like to be playful; I want people to look at what I do and smile. ~ Patrick Cox

The Moon is void of course today from 1:50 pm until 3:10 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions at this time.

Theme: Cautious and Ambitious

Mercury has entered Capricorn, and it will go retrograde at the end of the month. This gives us a more careful approach when thinking and communicating. We are also more ambitious to achieve our goals now. Today there is likely a conflict between our reasoning and our emotions. We may get swept away by subconscious patterns, and our feelings. The best result is to integrate the head and heart and perhaps help someone else to do so. Nothing is impossible, the word itself says “I’m possible”! ~ Audrey Hepburn

The Moon is void of course today from 1:15 am until 2:50 am EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Uneven feelings

With the Moon square Jupiter and Neptune – and opposite Venus today – you will feel a little out of sorts. Don’t get too involved with the highs and lows: knowing it’s a passing phase can help. With the Moon trine Saturn you can be task oriented and focus on your ‘to-do’ list. Pick the ones that are boring! Overall, you can re-set your compass today on the bigger picture.

Theme: Courage and Flexibility

With the full Moon in Gemini today there is, quite literally, a rising tide of activity. The passionate planet Mars is heavily involved with the Sun and Moon bringing lots of opportunity to show your strength and courage in the face of challenges -if you can also exercise patience and wisdom, and dilute your reactivity. That’s the challenge! The Sun in Sagittarius and the Moon in Gemini bring a lightness and mobility to the energy today that can transform heated encounters into lighter adventuresome moments.

There is a way out of every box, a solution to every puzzle; it’s just a matter of finding it...~Jean-luc Picard

Theme: Moving forward

With the Moon moving into Gemini today speed of communications and and short journeys increase. Encounters with sisters and brothers are more prominent. There is always a light and dark twin with Gemini. Which will it be today? The planet of communication, Mercury, moves into Capricorn reinforcing practical activity and quite literally constructive communications. Capricorn has a dry wit that often comes out of left field.

I have to be seen to be believed.~Queen Elizabeth II
