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

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.

Theme: Patience

With Mars square the Moon today your patience is tested. So why not exercise some patience. The Moon sextile Jupiter offsets the Martian edge by encouraging broader thinking and new horizons, whether in a book or upon reflection. The Moon is on the wane bringing a softening of intensity. It moves into the rebellious, freedom loving, conversational sign of Aquarius today.

There is nothing so disagreeable, that a patient mind can not find some solace for it.~Seneca the Younger

Theme: Full tide, Full Cup

With the Full Moon today the pull of the Moon on our eco-systems including our bodies reaches it’s peak. There is more activity and sometimes, accompanying that, more emotional agitation. Best to surf rather than stop the inevitable pull of the tide. Communication, change and continuing transformation are themes today. It’s good to keep one’s own counsel where there are challenging relationships.

Tricked out of our expectations, we fall back on our senses. What’s astonishing is the gulf between what we expect to find and what we find when we actually look.~Merlin Sheldrake

Theme: Refine, review and harness disruption

With this phase of the moon you can take stock of what you have done and revise plans if necessary. With Uranus conjunct the north node flexibility allows you to deal with sudden change in a way that can be harnessed for good. You may not see what the future holds but you can deal with the here and now. Seeking ways to nourish yourself helps you to nourish others.

Those who long to triumph over life’s distress, And who wish to put an end to others’ sorrows, Those who seek to experience abundant joys—Let them never turn their backs on bodhicitta.~Patrul Rinpoche

Theme: New Horizons

The Moon moves into Sagittarius, bringing a sense of expansion, a desire for freedom and the wish to travel. The mind is more engaged in philosophical inquiry and open to all ideas and walks of life. The Sun sextile Uranus also supports this with encounters with friends or acquaintances that are illuminating, taking us out of our normal sphere. Expect to feel more alive, alert and curious as you explore new horizons.

You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.
~William Faulkner

Theme: It’s Such a Perfect Day

A Water Grand Trine of Sun, Moon and Neptune soothes our day, bringing enrichment on an emotional level. We gain nourishment from stillness and rest. Our compassion and empathy is apparent and a wish for healing of others arises easily. It is a perfect time to meditate on loving kindness towards others.

If we understood the full implications of compassion on the many different levels that it exists, we would think compassion is not only desirable, but essential. There is no life without compassion.
~Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Power Sharing

The Moon moves into Scorpio bringing intensity of feelings and sometimes turbulent emotions. It forms a loose T-square involving Pluto and Mars which increases the potential for discord and power struggles. Even though there is a desire for secrecy, if feelings are shared with honesty it will be easier to penetrate underlying motives and have deeper insight into challenging situations.

Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people.
~Spencer Johnson
