Theme: Calm and Balanced

The Moon harmonizes with Saturn, especially in the middle of the day. We are at peace with solitude and can balance our emotional side with our obligations. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and benefit, has moved backwards into Pisces and stays there until December 21. This augments our spiritual pursuits. Enjoy the outdoors to support an expansive mind state if possible. …a person whose mind is distracted lives between the fangs of mental afflictions. ~Shantideva

Theme: Leaving the past behind if you can

With so many planets in Scorpio including the Moon as well as the south node it’s an opportunity to let go of past difficulties by re-framing them. Today a feeling of restriction, tension and frustration adds to your challenges. Patience is your ally and friends sustain you. Finding time to link into the more subtle aspects of life that help you tap into spiritual aspects is uplifting.

If there were no freedom, beings could never disentangle themselves from the world. But since there is freedom to transcend the world, beings are able to become disentangled.~Buddha

Theme: Re-set

With the new moon in Scorpio you can initiate and re-set your plans and projects. There is a partial solar eclipse today so take the time to be mindful, and take time out to meditate. You have more passion and drive. With Venus conjunct the Moon today the Scorpio habit of resistance is more easily transformed into heroic perseverance. A person or event mirrors deeply ingrained habits back to you so you can both face the past and move forward. Seeing the lighter side dissolves the darkness.

Theme: Searching Deeply

The Sun and Venus both enter Scorpio today. Happy Birthday to all who like to live fully and somewhat secretively. Early in the day we are feeling good, but also restless.There is some tension due to 3 150 degree angles, but since Jupiter is tied in with the Sun and Venus, things will work out well. Just be aware that some small adjustments may need to happen as you go through the day. Always go too far, because that’s where you’ll find the truth. ~Albert Camus

Theme: Disputes and Rash Action

Especially in the middle of the day we need to practice patience and compassion with ourselves and others. Besides irritability, we will have difficulty focusing our energy. The Moon remains in Virgo for the majority of the day encouraging organizing our lives and serving others. This is the last day with the Sun and Venus in Libra. We will shift our focus from relationships and beauty towards striving for deep answers and passions, when they enter Scorpio. You must first get along with yourself before you can get along with others. ~ Anthony J DAngelo

Theme: Breakdown or Change

The Sun and Venus continue to square Pluto for two more days. Can we work with the powerful transformative energy, or will there be breakdowns in our processes? Mars is slowing down and will go retrograde at the end of the month, but Saturn is about go out of retrograde making restrictions more external and powerful. Remember to turn towards spiritual activities when feeling thwarted. One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one’s work is terribly important. ~ Bertrand Russell

Theme: Tests and challenges

With the Moon forming a T-Square to Saturn and Uranus two things happen – your past catches up with you (Saturn) and a sudden event (Uranus) can set you on your heels momentarily. There is always a silver lining in even the most difficult of circumstances and these events help you re-focus on the power of spontaneity, flexibility and taking responsibility for change.

And while the world is so weighed down with the suffering, we have to add something in this pile. If it’s all we can do, then we can do that. And to add prayers, to take a hold of our minds and purge the war from our minds, to take a hold of our hearts and purge the bigotry from our hearts…~Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo
