Theme: Joy and Nurturing

Mercury and Venus are both in Sagittarius now bringing joy to balance the seriousness of the Sun in Scorpio. At high noon the Moon unites with Ceres, the asteroid of nurturing others. This emotion oriented combination challenges Mars as the day goes on. Beware anger, and use meditation techniques to help. Neptune is also involved which can result in transcendence or delusion. If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment. ~ Carlos Santana

Theme: Verve

With the Sun conjunct Mars you are physically energized and physical outlets are good. You may feel more combative than usual so watch for push back. Be open and flexible today, and find ways to connect with the natural environment and what it offers. Mercury moves into Sagittarius today bringing adventure in communication and openness to ideas. Of course it’s also the case that Mercury in Sagittarius brings a bluntness and lack of tact in communication.

I will speak with gentleness. I will not speak in order to gain anything. I will not speak with a view to harming anyone.~Anguttara Nikaya

You find new ways to rejoice and express gratitude. Venus also moves into Sagittarius today diluting intensity and injecting adventure into relationships.

Theme: Power to Make Changes

For the next month Pluto and Jupiter are synchronized in a 60 degree angle. This is a time of changes in the world that happen with our without our input. For those of us who are having impact on others now it is important to think of the greater good. Selfish plans will not work out well. Overall there is much more ease of energy than challenges today. The only outlier planet continues to be Mars, again indicating the futility of egotistic efforts. To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. ~ Winston Churchill

Theme: Mental Creativity

In many ways today is a continuation of yesterday’s strong spiritual potential. Today the asteroid, Pallas Athene, is added to the mix. This enhances any mental creative endeavor. The Moon is in it’s home sign, Cancer, for a few days. We will feel more secure emotionally. This is a good time to focus on the home and family. The Yod with apex Mars will give us more energy. The challenge is to use it wisely. We proved that we are still a people capable of doing big things and tackling our biggest challenges. ~ Barack Obama

Theme: Imagine, Empathize, and Meditate

The trio of Sun, Mercury and Venus are all a harmonious 120 degrees from Neptune. This bolsters creativity, sympathy and mystical pursuits. This opportunity is not usually available. But at the same time there is potential to get really angry. Beware of irritability, but there are times to take a stand for what is right. Meditation is not evasion, it is a serene encounter with reality. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

The Moon is void of course today from 5:30 pm until 7:23 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: The past in the present

With the Sun conjunct Mercury and close to the south node ideas continue to flow and people from your past appear. You have a choice to relate to them as you’ve always done but with an incentive to move away from habitual ways of relating. Sudden opportunity is your guidestar. There is beauty in the moment that is inspiring.

Minor things can become moments of great revelation when encountered for the very first time.~Margot Fonteyn

Theme: A tight spot

Today a you could be between a rock and a hard place. You will feel like you want to run away or get out of the harness you are in. The test is to keep a steady pace on your endeavors and know that effort brings reward. You may be more abrupt with people so watch your habits more closely. Pressure can produce positive change if you can bring thoughtfulness to the situation. The Moon moves into Gemini today bringing a focus on communication in all forms, messages and a focus on siblings.

Like a star, hallucination, candle, magical illusion, dewdrop, bubble, dream, lightning or a cloud—
Know all compounded phenomena to be like this.~the Buddha
