Theme: Transforming Anger

The transit today of Mercury square Mars is difficult to navigate. Communications with others could be challenging. Either or both of you loudly proclaiming strong beliefs that can be met with strong resistance and potentially result in arguments. Even if not between people, you may experience a pent-up rage. But be careful, because if you don’t deal with it mindfully there is a real potential for accidents due to reckless behavior.

The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action or one thought can reduce another person’s suffering and bring joy.
~Thich Nhat Hahn

Theme: All Systems are GO!

Sun moves into Leo today radiating warmth, creativity and sociability. With Mercury, Moon and Jupiter all in congenial aspects you will be inspired to join close friends and share plans and ideas for the future. Optimism is in the air and conversations are mutually rewarding and stimulating.

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and loved more than you know.

Theme: True Change

Sun is in the last minutes of Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn and requesting we change on a personal level. With Mars starting to conjunct Uranus we are feeling the build up of tension and frustration as we look to change to come externally, particularly related to our values. That may be climate change, women’s rights or about institutions needing to change, but true change must come for each of us individually to bring the change we wish to see in the world.

We are visitors on this planet… during that period we must try to do something good, something useful with our lives. If you can contribute to other people’s happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life.

~HH Dalai Lama

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST 7.45pm and 1.11am (7/23). Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Moving through stuff!

With the Moon transiting Mars and Uranus it’s a case of managing those moments that you wish you hadn’t had. But the good thing about the Moon is that it moves swiftly over these neighboring planets so the unsettling moments pass swiftly too. You later have the opportunity to re-set your daily course in a way that aligns with a truer part of you.

Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that’s good taste.~Lucille Ball

Theme: Finding balance

The Moon moves into Taurus later in the day bringing steadfastness and patience to your actions. You’re challenged by competing goals – both inner and outer and it’s hard to find the perfect balance. Sudden events can invoke beneficial change particularly if you’re willing to be flexible and learn new ways of doing things.

The lichen hanging in the trees wafts to and fro, Stirred by every breath of wind; Likewise, all I do will be achieved, Enlivened by the movements of a joyful heart.~Shantideva

Theme: Airing your cupboard

It’s never easy to clean the dark recesses of your unconscious – but the world mirrors back what is within providing an opportunity to look into the corners. It’s not necessarily a time to meet your adversaries directly but rather, exercise patience and investigate the ultimate causes. Mercury moves into Leo today making communication more ebullient and playful. The seeing one sees both the one who sees and the one who doesn’t. The one who doesn’t see sees neither.~Vappa

Theme: Transforming your view

With Mercury, Ceres and the Sun close together opposing Pluto other people and circumstances offer a roadmap for deep-seated purposeful change in the way you think and nourish others. Generosity and letting go is the key. Today you can spread your wings and expand your horizons in whatever format best offers that. The Moon moves into the fire sign of Aries bringing vim and vigor to you self-expression. As with all fire energy it’s hard to press the pause button. “You can’t change the world.” But the world is changing every day. Only question is … who’s doing it? You or somebody else?~ J. Michael Straczynski

Theme: Inner Illumination

The Moon is joining Neptune for a couple of days to increase our intuition and sensitivities. Mercury and Sun Trine these two planets increasing our discussion and expression of these qualities. Poetry, music , art and spirituality are top of the agenda for you over the next few days. If you’re not a visual person you may get lost in day dreaming and some could get carried away with mood altering substances.

Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.
~Maya Angelou

Sun and Mercury are conjunct, bringing clarity and sharpness of mind. A day for interchange of ideas and sharing from personal experience. Neptune in aspect to the Sun brings forth our idealism and compassion, with a strong desire to understand the nature of reality. Meditation is very beneficial today.

Do not train in many qualities when desiring to attain enlightenment….. The one with great compassion will possess all the enlightened qualities as in the palm of their hand.

Theme: A Lot Going On

Many intense aspects today that can bring challenges to emotions and communications. At times you will feel a strong urge to withdraw and retreat from emotional unrest. Particularly, you or others may get obsessed with ideas. Avoid discussing politics and remain open minded. It is beneficial to study the mind and one’s reactions deeply and can result in spiritual life changes.

Our minds are totally unpredictable, just like plants during the summer rains: all kinds of thoughts, both good and bad spring up…. Dharma is about trying to decrease thoughts and subdue our mind.
~HH Penor Rinpoche
