Theme: Energetic Focus

Mars trine Pluto can increase our focus and vitality to work on long term plans. If you work for the benefit of others you will have more success than just focusing on personal ambitions. It’s a good time to bring reform and change into the world around you. Operating from new understanding and motivation brings opportunity for success. Moon/ Neptune brings increased sensitivity and empathetic understanding to the surrounding environment.

And therefore I’ll dispel the pain of others, for it is simply pain, just like my own. And others I will aid and benefit, for they are living beings, just like me.

Theme: Just for Today

Today is a balancing act between emotions and reason and self-expression versus responsibilities. It’s easy to feel constrained by commitments and duties, wanting to break out of a sense of confinement. Rather than blaming circumstances or others we can turn the day around by changing attitudes and embracing those commitments as part of our path and identity. Either way it’s a day that it’s best to work from home or take time out for inner reflection.

A tranquil mind is the first requisite for good judgment.

Theme: Fast Moving Clouds

The morning may start with some emotional turbulence and bring about needless disputes due to irritability or rash actions. Reacting defensively, one can become oversensitive or overcritical of others. The afternoon moves into feeling mentally awake and stimulated by new ideas. It’s easy to find solutions to problems, with depth of vision. Study of astrology, math, science and technology are favorable.

Sometimes, we do not have the intention to hurt, but because we are not mindful or skillful enough, we hurt someone. Being mindful in our daily life is important, speaking in a way that will not hurt anyone.
~Thich Nhat Hahn

Venus moves into Leo today bringing warmth to relationships and a juggling act between seeking love and getting attention .

You begin to see some cause and effect relationships. You begin to see that virtuous behavior actually does make you feel pretty good, and you explore that.~Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Integration

There is harmony between your feelings, thinking and your capacity to be flexible. You’re more open to going with the flow of life than against it. It’s a time of consolidation and paying attention to fundamentals including finances. Notwithstanding the need for reality checks you can experience a strong sense of the interconnectedness of life.

Theme: A healing day

Two planetary aspects: Venus trine Neptune and Sun trine Chiron open the door to healing your physical health and the way you relate. In relationships this healing through being gentle with yourself and others. With Neptune there is an incentive to escape from reality, so it’s not a time for big decisions. The Moon moves into Capricorn today bringing a feeling of being more grounded and being present in life.

Theme: One Thing and Another

There is a wonderful transit that will bring strong feelings of altruism and generosity. It brings a pleasant sense of well being, feeling warm and open to everyone. This will apply particularly to people with planets in fire signs. Another transit is almost the opposite bringing desire for calm, reflective alone time. It can balance emotional needs with a sense of duty and obligation.

The content of your character is your choice. Day by day what you choose, what you think and what you do is who you become.

Theme: Reflection and Clarity

Opportunities are apparent to increase one’s capacity and understanding of suffering of others and oneself and to seek change on a deeper level. Through reflection, insight can bring clarity of one’s views and motivations that need changing, to open up further, bringing deeper understanding of the greater needs of society. Imagination is also stimulated to produce creative output for some and dreaming for others.

Therefore, from the gateway of awareness, mindfulness shall not have leave to stray and if it wanders, it shall be recalled by thoughts of anguish in the lower worlds.

Theme: Water Grand Trine

The challenges of Mars, Uranus and Saturn are still apparent but fading. Today brings a lovely Water Grand Trine with Venus, Moon and Neptune. These planets bring softness and fluidity into our lives. Maternal nurturing, empathy and compassion color our horizon once more. Our wish is for closeness with loved ones and enjoyment of simple pleasures, like eating nourishing and enriching food together. Most of us have been worn down with innumerable tragedies and sadness. Just for today we can enjoy peace and good companionship.

Imagine there’s no heaven, it’s easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today.
~John Lennon
