Theme: Details and Memory

With the Moon in Virgo and Sun in Cancer attention to details, memories and how we remember are prominent themes. How can you pay more attention to the details and draw on the past in a beneficial way? Today Mars moves into Taurus bringing a stubborn quality to actions, but also perseverance. Mercury moves into Cancer bringing more retention of information and a less direct quality to communication. You have more mental agility today – as well as assertiveness. A baby is expected. A trip is expected. News is expected. Forgetfulness is expected. An invitation is expected. Hope is expected. But memories are not expected. They just come.~Giannina Braschi

Theme: Analysis and Organization

The Moon moves into Virgo, so it’s time to clean and organize. Maybe not the whole house but definitely the grill, and shopping may be on the list today too. Other transits support the ability to focus on projects with an eye for detail. You will have more physical energy than usual and enjoy sports or a good workout. Mental energy is also high today so any research project is successful as no stone will be left unturned.

Exercise not only changes your body it changes your mind, your attitude and your mood.

Theme: Storm Clouds Gathering

Today there is a T-square forming, and one leg of that is Saturn square Uranus. That transit will continue to build over the months until October this year. The last time we had the Uranus/ Saturn square was in December 2021. It is often described as an extremely tense and upsetting period particularly if you have allowed your life to crystallize into rigid patterns that can’t easily change. This may herald a time of anxiety and stress for some.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Theme: Liars, Thieves and Thugs

There are two strong transits that color the day. Mars square Pluto can bring fierce power struggles and conflict between individuals or groups. Occasionally violence may occur. Mercury square Neptune brings considerable confusion, withheld secrets and distortion of truth. We can be vulnerable to scammers and swindlers. This could affect us personally but also be playing out more on the national and international levels.

Your entire mind consists of the phenomena of hope and fear, of discrimination in a subtle and dense way. But the nature of mind itself remains steadfast, clear, uncontrived.
~Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Seeking clarity

Different influences impact your feelings and daily routine opening your heart and challenging your sense of what is right. Take time to investigate the source of your suffering. You can also investigate the forces that hold you back. News can re-calibrate your vocational purpose today. The Moon moves into Leo inviting us to strengthen our dignity and transform our pride.

Mind’s nature is and always has been Buddha. It has neither birth nor cessation, like space. When you realize the real meaning of the equal nature of all things, to remain in that state without searching is meditation.~Garab Dorje

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 4.14pm and 8:40 pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: New beginnings

With the new moon it’s time to give form to your intentions. You can also envision the future more clearly. There is a great capacity to give and nurture others at this time with both the Sun and Moon in Cancer. You still have to have consideration for your limitations as you may be inclined to go beyond them. Mars in Aries adds pepper to your actions while Mercury in Gemini bestows the gift of the gab. You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.~Khalil Gibran

Theme: Moving forward

The Moon has moved into Cancer bringing a focus on feelings, imagination, family and home. The new Moon ushers in a renewal period that allows you to re-energize, initiate actions and start up new projects. You have more optimism, confidence and connect with a stronger sense of purpose. Use this energy for good. If the Sun and Moon should doubt, They’d immediately go out.~William Blake

The Moon is Void of Course today until EDT USA 7.53 am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Letting go of the past

Today you can tackles tasks you have been mulling over. It’s the last day of the waning moon so it’s timely to let go of the past in in order to start afresh with the new moon tomorrow. You have more energy today but still need to pace yourself. Discipline and endurance are the keys. With Mars approaching an exact square with Pluto you need to become more aware of how your operate in situations where you don’t have free will. If human beings can simply decide on what they want to do and then do it, then forecasting is impossible. Free will is beyond forecasting. But what is most interesting about humans is how unfree they are.~George Friedman

Theme: 3 Friends

Gemini is known for having two sides, and today is no different with the Moon now there. She has Venus on one side and Mercury on the other. These three planets are very compatible, and if you have been feeling isolated before today, you will be talking, laughing and easily communicating feelings you haven’t shared for a long time. Gemini is unendingly curious, so no topic will be out of bounds. It is a time where you feel light hearted and gregarious. The only caution is to be careful of overindulgence in food and shopping.

Speech without heart is nothing but noise.
~Abhijit Naskar
