Theme: Explore

Today, you have the opportunity to do and see things differently. Let your experiences change your trajectory. In the midst of activity find the quietude and slow down. Keep looking at ways to be generous particularly around food and caring for the earth. Introduce a new health exercise to offset a weakness. Frustration is abating enabling you to build bridges more easily.

We have only one life. First equip yourself for the job, make full use of your talents and then love and enjoy the work, making the most of being outdoors, and in contact with nature.~Anna Mani

Theme: The grains of sand

With the Sun moving into Virgo today a new focus on detail and fine tuning emerges. Virgo can ground us and, like all earth signs, gives us an appreciation of the tactile including art as craft and art as journaling. The Sun in Virgo also facilities getting your health in order or at the very least, checked out. The Moon in Cancer compliments Virgo with an appreciation of how a family, biological or otherwise, can help support us on our journey in life.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life.~Mary Oliver

Theme: Kaleidoscope Day

Communications can get pretty weird today. It’s like swimming underwater with contoured goggles. Everything is a bit fuzzy and distorted, which is fine if you’re into fake news and views. Otherwise head for the canvas and enjoy artistic expression, or a blissful meditation. And don’t bother to pay for a psychic reading as it will be far from accurate.

Don’t believe everything you think.
~Thubten Chodron

Theme: Finger of Fate

Another rare configuration is joining the assembly in the heavens adding further fuel for significant spiritual transformation and a deep shift in beliefs on a personal level. But again there is an effect on the masses and globally. The world is very much in crisis on every level and to effect profound change that can turn things around, it must happen on an individual and collective level. Now is the time. Babies that are being born or conceived at this time will play a major role in this planet’s future.

Think globally, act locally.
~Patrick Geddes

Theme: Something is Happening

There is a rare configuration called a Kite occurring over the next few days, which is quite positive and which involves a Grand Trine and 3 other aspects. Because the 3 outer planets, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus are involved it should impact us all on a social and global level. Mercury is involved also and will bring about greater spiritual awareness through some form of communication, resulting in opening our minds to new levels of consciousness. There is a transcendent quality to the day.

So what does the world with all its contents have as its basis? Its basis is space.
~Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST 7.06am and 8.06am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Balancing the head and the heart

Balancing your sense of purpose with self-care is the challenge today. It’s a bit like patting your head and rubbing your tummy. Can you do both? Where there is a will there’s a way: the balance shifts in your favor when you think through the challenges and communicate clearly. There are disruptions and you feel in a bind but there is a lot of cause for rejoicing as well.

Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.~ UrsulaK. Le Guin

Theme: Navigating change

With the Moon now in Taurus determination, consolidation and consistency are themes. Taurus energy doesn’t sit well with sudden change, which can happen today from an unexpected quarter. Relationships wobble a little but right themselves over the course of the day. When you are generous with your resources and treat yourself and others with dignity good fortune comes.

The mind is devoid of mind, For the nature of mind is clear light.~ Shakyamuni Buddha

Theme: Progress

Good astrological aspects today create beneficial outcomes and produce relative harmony in your sphere. Effort brings good results today and you are more balanced and innovative in your approaches to tasks. Of course there is always a challenging aspect to offset the gains and today it’s Moon Square Pluto. But it’s not a deal breaker. Just keep your eye on the main goal.

When the eagle soars up, high above the ground, For a while its shadow is nowhere to be seen; Yet bird and shadow still are linked. So it is with our actions: When the right conditions come together, their effects will manifest.~Jigme Lingpa

Theme: Heading in the right direction

You have more reason for optimism today that in turn opens the door to increased generosity. There are still pesky people and systems that stymie you, but you are up to the challenge. You can make clear and far sighted decisions based on both ‘realpolitik’ and more freeing possibilities. Today the doorway is open to emotional healing that helps re-set your purpose.

The only people who see the whole picture,’ he murmured, ‘are the ones who step out of the frame.~Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

Theme: Energetic Focus

Mars trine Pluto can increase our focus and vitality to work on long term plans. If you work for the benefit of others you will have more success than just focusing on personal ambitions. It’s a good time to bring reform and change into the world around you. Operating from new understanding and motivation brings opportunity for success. Moon/ Neptune brings increased sensitivity and empathetic understanding to the surrounding environment.

And therefore I’ll dispel the pain of others, for it is simply pain, just like my own. And others I will aid and benefit, for they are living beings, just like me.
~Shantideva

The Moon is Void of Course today between 11.11am and 4.43pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
