Theme: Hopping and popping along

With four planets in Aries including the Moon and one asteroid, Chiron, Aries energy abounds. There is a forthright quality to the day that Aries energy inspires and lots of enthusiasm to start new projects. With the Sun in Gemini there is an emphasis on making connections with others and undertaking short trips. Relationships with siblings are more prominent. Mercury is exactly trine Pluto bringing depth and insight to one’s thinking and communications.

It’s so worthwhile that you devote your precious human life to controlling your mad elephant mind and giving direction to your powerful mental energy.~Lama Yeshe

Theme: Party with mindfulness

Be spontaneous and exuberant today, enjoy the company of others and celebrate achievements no matter how small. However, don’t want to lose yourself in the throes of fun but rather find yourself, knowing that enjoyment and mindfulness can hold hands. Today the Moon and Mars move into Aries providing a little dust-up. Mars is in it’s home sign now so direct action is supported.

The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently.~Pema Chodron

Theme: Sunshine

With Jupiter sextile the Sun there is a welcome dose of optimism and brightness to your day. Emotionally there are some things that wisk you away and that’s okay. There are unconscious patterns that bubble to the surface seeking attention: investigate your psyche to unearth the hidden story. You are more quick thinking today which also means bringing people along with you, not agin you.

Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame. I’m also a great believer in treating others as you would like to be treated.~Benedict Cumberbatch

Theme: Turning Adversity into Felicity

The Moon conjuncts Saturn and can bring with it a sense of pessimism or depression. Even spending time in groups can amplify feelings of separateness because your convictions are strong and may not align with others. At the same time you have dynamic energy available to reach important goals. Spiritual retreat could be very beneficial today.

It’s not that I’m smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.

~Albert Einstein

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST 3.19am – 11.49am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Inquisitive Moments

With the Sun moving into Gemini and being conjunct Mercury (the ruler of Gemini) the focus of the day is extremely mercurial! Creative energy and ideas abound. There’s an air of excitement, many plans to think about, chatting with friends, enjoyable social interchange. Mercury is always changeable and loves freedom but can have difficulty sustaining any project. There’s a tendency to be scattered so you may have to work hard to stay focused.

If we investigate carefully, we may find that our daily life is in fact no more tangible than a dream.

~Gyatrul Rinpoche

Theme: Easy Communications

Enjoy a day of inner peace, serenity and ease of communication with old friends. You can express your feelings openly and sincerely, listening with sympathy to others. It’s a day to enjoy group activities, particularly of a humanitarian nature. It’s a good time to take a weekend trip and to consider plans for the future.

Where you go, go with all your heart.
~ Confucius

Theme: Seeking clarity

As Mercury moves retrograde towards the Sun it is more difficult to stand back and see things dispassionately. However, this aspect also gives more focus, and with Mercury sextile Jupiter there is more learning and engagement with beneficial and expansive projects. With both the Sun and Moon in earth signs there is a groundedness to the day, and a little whimsy with the Moon in good aspect to Neptune.

As a rule, indeed, grown-up people are fairly correct on matters of fact; it is in the higher gift of imagination that they are so sadly to seek.~Kenneth Grahame

Theme: Merging realities

With Mars and Neptune exactly conjunct it’s a case of marrying the ordinary with the extraordinary. One the one hand Mars helps us deal with the basic necessities of life to survive and on the other hand Neptune helps us see the spaces in between ordinary reality and other realities. We need to have good boundaries to deal with this other world and Mars can help with that also. The downside is (and there’s always one) is that energetically we can feel a bit depleted and prone to unusual illnesses- so it’s good not to push yourself too hard.

Love and the gracious heart are a single thing…one can no more be without the other than the reasoning mind without its reason.~Dante Alighieri
