Theme: Harmony tea

Harmonious aspects create ease and harmony today. Mercury opposite Neptune continues to create a lack of focus and misunderstandings in communication, so it’s a little like Mercury retrograde is still hanging around. Rest, relax, walk, meditate. So whatever your preferred beverage is – enjoy a break.

Theme: Practical Beauty

With the Moon in Capricorn and Sun in Libra conjunct Venus there is a focus on both practical matters combined with a beautiful appearance. Capricorn favors useful beauty which can be simply a beautiful tool. Libra looks more skyward at architectural and the beauty of design. Today, with Pluto conjunct the moon emotional truths are revealed, warts and all.

Form is no other than emptiness, Emptiness no other than form. Form is only emptiness, Emptiness only form.~Heart Sutra

Theme: A Sigh of Relief

Finally! Today Mercury goes direct, but really it stations as it appears to turn around. So expect things to start improving around relations and communication. By the time Mercury enters Libra on the 11th it will have returned to its normal speed.
Venus, Moon and Jupiter all play a role in bringing pleasant social connections and enjoying being with friends. The worst problem you might have all day is overeating! Excessive indulgence and pleasure of the senses could also affect your credit rating. Be that as it may, Mercury going direct is worth celebrating.

In the midst of chaos there is always opportunity.  ~Sun Tsu

Theme: Calming the Stormy Seas

A challenging day with discordant energies. It will be easy to fly off the handle and be overwhelmed with irritation and anger. Particularly as there is also the possibility for mental confusion and misunderstandings. You may prefer to be alone with your thoughts and feelings, bringing calm, reflective understanding to situations that may arise.

As long as we exist, our mind is an inseparable part of us. As a result, we are always up and down. It is not our body that goes up and down, it’s our mind.
~ Lama Yeshe

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST 5.46pm and 3.38am (10/2). Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Blue Expansive Skies

If you have felt weighed down over the the last few weeks, today is a day of optimism and finally feeling like the clouds have parted and you can see a sunny blue sky again. It’s easier to have an overview of the future. If you have experienced tensions in relationships, you will enjoy harmonious relations with close friends, effortlessly restoring emotional communication. A time of social contact and self expression through creativity.

Optimism isn’t a belief that things will automatically get better, it’s a conviction that we can make things better.

Theme: Concentration versus a wandering mind

With the planet of the mind and thinking, Mercury, continuing to be in opposition to Neptune you can find yourself day dreaming more than usual, unfocused and more susceptible to confusion. However, Mercury is also trine Pluto so you are capable equally of focused thought, insight and decision making. Your powers of concentration are magnified. So it’s likely you’ll move between concentration and lack of focus in equal measure.

Real peace will arise spontaneously When your mind becomes free of attachments, when you know that the objects of the world can never give you what you really want.~ Buddha

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 5.20pm and 12:03am the next day. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: A non-committal day

With no exact planetary aspects today larger transits continue to influence you, especially Mercury which makes communication even more problematic under Mercury retrograde. Any communication that is ordinarily straightforward does back flips and forward somersaults. A lack of focus also bedevils any sense of forward motion. Your connections with others assists you in navigating difficulties, and the Moon in Scorpio provides fortitude.

Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else.~Maya Angelou

Theme: Depth perception

Today with Pluto in aspect to Mercury and the Moon there is an opportunity to identify hidden emotions as they break the surface of your consciousness. Mercury in Virgo gives you penetrating insights and attention to details you might previously have missed about the way you react and think. You do have times when you lack focus – indicating it’s time to relax. Later today the Moon moves into Scorpio providing another opportunity to explore deeper emotions and transform your reactions.

Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.~Tao Te Ching

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 12.21pm and 7:15pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Confidence testing

With the Sun opposite Jupiter your confidence in your beliefs is tested, and you experience doubt. If you keep your heart open you will find answers. With both the Sun and Moon in Libra, and Venus conjunct Mercury there is a peacefulness that prevails creating spaciousness in your mind. Conversation flows more easily. With the Moon trine Mars you can move forward with good decisions if it’s combined with tolerance and humility.

There are actually three types of doubt: incorrect doubt, uncertain doubt, and correct doubt. The first type involves starting to think about the truth but still doubting it is correct. The second is more open but ambivalent and unsure of what is correct or incorrect. The third is when we start to believe in the truth.~HH Dalai Lama

Theme: Love the One you’re With

There is a New Moon today in Libra. A time of renewal, starting new projects and generally new beginnings. Libra of course places the focus on relationships, and Venus and Mercury are also conjoined the Moon, increasing communication of love and feelings. This may well be with someone you’re intimately involved with or meeting for the first time. It can also be focused personally, investigating and exploring the depths of your emotions internally. Either way it should be a very pleasant but intense day.

There are 3 sorts of feelings– pleasant, unpleasant and neutral. We can use breathing to be in contact with our feelings and accept them.
~Thich Nhat Hanh

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST 8.49am and 12.43pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
