Theme: Talk it out

There is a nice flow of energy between the head and the heart. All forms of communication are favored. In the second half of the day we become more irritable, and should practice patience. Relationships stabilize for the next few days. Remember to turn towards prayer and meditation, particularly when feeling discouraged. Of course I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice. ~Daffy Duck

Theme: Love and travel

Venus continues to exercise a beneficial influence on your purpose, providing opportunities and aiding your capacity to love others. With the Moon trine Jupiter your horizons are expanded and you can tap into an innate generosity, even if you think you possess that quality. Your communications are more focused on being a diplomat and peacekeeper. Of all the medicines in the world myriad and various There is none like the medicine of Truth. Therefore. O followers, drink of this.~Dhammapada

Theme: Truth

Truthful feelings come to the surface today as you seek clarity in certain situations. The more you can relax the better the outcome. You have big ideas right now but how will you profitably harness your ideas and engage in a good way with people? One way is keeping an open mind. You do have to watch out for over-confidence. The Moon remains in Taurus for most of the day which is good for consolidating projects.

I have seen students who have been shaken in their lives, perhaps by realizing the immediacy of their death or by being afflicted with AIDS or by having to go through some remarkable, horrible trauma or life-changing situations…You have to understand that these are times of empowerment. You have to look at them as an opportunity and a gift.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is Void of Course today from 5.42pm until 1.08am EDT USA. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Flexibility

Be flexible today – and follow your heart. Special occasions can uplift you from any despondency and frustration you feel today. You are more aware of the beauty of your surrounds and the need for balance and nurturing in your life. With the Moon in Taurus and the Sun trine Saturn steady accomplishment is the key goal. You have more success with people in authority at this time.

Believe in yourself, plan wisely to set attainable goals, move forward courageously, solve the problems effectively and achievement will be yours.~Thich Nhat Tu

Theme: Tension

The full Moon happens today, which brings emotional tension to the surface. This adds on to the other challenging energies of the outer planets that continue. Our thinking and communication style continues in practical, detail-oriented Virgo but now we will think big. Be careful not to take on too much or overlook details for the next several days. Otherwise this is a good time for planning. When I get a headache, I take two asprin and keep away from children just like the bottle says. ~ Anon.

Theme: Strong and Weak

Today the Moon enters Aries and is united with Jupiter. This leads to a positive outlook and energy to work on “big picture” projects. Yet Mars is challenged by Neptune until the end of November. This can be demoralizing. Can we let go of our ego urges enough to blend them with the spiritual? This will help our morale and energy. This is a potent time for prayer, meditation and compassionate action. We have to develop the habit of putting some spaciousness into our mind in order to accomplish spaciousness at the time of our death. ~ Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course today from 7:12 am until 11:58 am EDT. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Insight and Change

Today the Moon in Pisces harmonizes with Uranus’s sudden insights and quick changes. Meditation and prayer will be fruitful. The conflict between our attachments to what we rely on and the need for progress continues until late November. But today is doubly easier, as not just our emotions, the Moon, but also our thinking, Mercury, flows with deep change. Today we can get to the bottom of a problem that has been lingering. Insight is the capacity to “see into” a person or situation. ~ George Christopher Scruggs

Theme: Feeling and Planting

With the waxing Moon now in Pisces it’s a good time to plant seeds and crops – and get in touch with your heart. Pisces gives us more access to the emotions and, if we are willing and open, connects us with compassion and kindness. You will be more sensitive to others vibes right now so choose your company well. Pisces energy is also associated with loosening boundaries between this world and the next.

The clear, calm, stainless, moonlike quality where the shackles which bind the person to becoming this and that, one thing after another, are dropped and allowed to go- this is what I call wisdom.~Sutta Nipata

Theme: One of those variable days

It’s a day of mixed blessings. Go easy and carefully on working with equipment if you’re emotionally stressed. You also feel a bit hemmed in emotionally. But you also have energy to deal with challenges and be assertive. With the Moon involved in these transits these particular challenges pass by the end of the day. The Moon in Aquarius means you can be more experimental with solutions. Friends also offer you their support.

The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution.~Bertrand Russell
