Theme: Celebration

With Venus and the Sun conjoined celebration is in the air and the heart expands. The last few days have provided the opportunity for your compassion for yourself and others to grow. There’s a harmony between yin and yang and a certain verve to your speech. Don’t let wit overtake your common sense!

Great wits and valours, like great states, Do sometimes sink with their own weights.~Samuel Butler

Theme: Take your pick

Your normal routine is likely to be upended a bit. There is a confluence of different kinds of competing energies that require more emotional effort on your part to retain stability. If you feel at cross-purposes you can know in your heart that ultimately you’re okay but today it is what it is. The golden key is to pay attention to your physical and spiritual health today, and retain your humor.

Who believes not only in our globe with its sun and moon, but in other globes with their suns and moons, Who, constructing the house of himself or herself, not for a day but for all time, sees races, eras, dates, generations, The past, the future, dwelling there, like space, inseparable together.~Walt Whitman

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 4.56pm  and 12:45 am the next day. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Emotional Override

In the first half of the day it is hard to think and communicate rationally. Accept that emotions are strong in ourselves and others, but will ease as the day moves on. The Sun exactly inconjunct Neptune today can also cloud our minds. Turn towards prayer and meditation to find clarity. We are still in some situations that need change. Can we make graceful changes without a destructive revolution? You must be the change you wish to see in the world. ~ Mahatma Ghandi

Theme: Argue then Indulge

Best to focus on patience to antidote any frustration that occurs in the first half of the day. Then the Moon enters nurturing Cancer and “squares” Jupiter, and we may overdo a good thing. For the next week Mars harmonizes with the Sun and Venus. This is a good time to work independently from others, and to achieve personal successes, yet with Venus involved we can also work well in partnership or groups. We need to strengthen such inner values as contentment, patience and tolerance, as well compassion for others. ~ H H Dalai Lama

The Moon is void of course from 12:12 am until 12:12 pm. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Talk it out

There is a nice flow of energy between the head and the heart. All forms of communication are favored. In the second half of the day we become more irritable, and should practice patience. Relationships stabilize for the next few days. Remember to turn towards prayer and meditation, particularly when feeling discouraged. Of course I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice. ~Daffy Duck

Theme: Love and travel

Venus continues to exercise a beneficial influence on your purpose, providing opportunities and aiding your capacity to love others. With the Moon trine Jupiter your horizons are expanded and you can tap into an innate generosity, even if you think you possess that quality. Your communications are more focused on being a diplomat and peacekeeper. Of all the medicines in the world myriad and various There is none like the medicine of Truth. Therefore. O followers, drink of this.~Dhammapada

Theme: Truth

Truthful feelings come to the surface today as you seek clarity in certain situations. The more you can relax the better the outcome. You have big ideas right now but how will you profitably harness your ideas and engage in a good way with people? One way is keeping an open mind. You do have to watch out for over-confidence. The Moon remains in Taurus for most of the day which is good for consolidating projects.

I have seen students who have been shaken in their lives, perhaps by realizing the immediacy of their death or by being afflicted with AIDS or by having to go through some remarkable, horrible trauma or life-changing situations…You have to understand that these are times of empowerment. You have to look at them as an opportunity and a gift.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is Void of Course today from 5.42pm until 1.08am EDT USA. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Flexibility

Be flexible today – and follow your heart. Special occasions can uplift you from any despondency and frustration you feel today. You are more aware of the beauty of your surrounds and the need for balance and nurturing in your life. With the Moon in Taurus and the Sun trine Saturn steady accomplishment is the key goal. You have more success with people in authority at this time.

Believe in yourself, plan wisely to set attainable goals, move forward courageously, solve the problems effectively and achievement will be yours.~Thich Nhat Tu

Theme: Tension

The full Moon happens today, which brings emotional tension to the surface. This adds on to the other challenging energies of the outer planets that continue. Our thinking and communication style continues in practical, detail-oriented Virgo but now we will think big. Be careful not to take on too much or overlook details for the next several days. Otherwise this is a good time for planning. When I get a headache, I take two asprin and keep away from children just like the bottle says. ~ Anon.
