Theme: Brief Respite

While the intense backdrop of several planetary conjunctions in a quadrant of the zodiac continues, we have a moment to breath again, enjoy nature and friends and really value time spent with the ones we love. With Moon and Uranus in softer aspect as well as Mercury and Mars, we may have a pleasant surprise as communications move to potential for hope rather than direct confrontations.

Theme: Lettting go, Allowing Change

With the Moon close to Uranus emotions are volatile and unpredictable, yet there is stability to be found with the Moon in Taurus and being emotionally flexible today. With flexibility new solutions can be found. Venus and Mars moves into the cooler atmosphere of Aquarius which is ideal for friendships, community activities and tasks requiring detachment and observation. … there isn’t enough of anything as long as we live. But at intervals a sweetness appears and, given a chance prevails.~Raymond Carver

Theme: Challenges

You will be challenged today to retain your equanimity. It’s a case of correcting your posture: flexibility helps. You are experiencing the confluence of the Pisces focus on feelings and the Aries focus on action. Inwardly it can be a healing time and outwardly there is much to accomplish. In general, a person with a virtuous heart is a good person.~ His Holiness Jigme Phuntsok

Theme: Emotional Tornado

Uranus and Moon conjunct May bring about a short lived emotional whirlwind. You may wish to express exactly how you feel about a particular situation that has been brewing over the last couple of days. While it may bring you some relief, it could bring unexpected consequences. When we can no longer change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. ~Anonymous

Theme: Build up of Tensions

Mercury and Sun are sitting right on top of each other in Aries, which leaves little room for a good sense of humor. It will be very easy to lose our perspective and take things personally, leading to arguments. Mars is moving closer to Saturn which builds up frustration and irritation. If you can apply your energy to a project that requires discipline and concentration you may avert any potential unpleasantness. He that would live in peace and ease, must not speak all he knows or judge all he sees.~Benjamin Franklin

Theme: The Gathering of Nations

With the New Moon in Aries arriving just before midnight to join Sun, Chiron and Mercury, there is a great deal of energy building that may keep us wide awake. Ideas and communication abound that will bring about fast moving action. It may be a little turbulent bringing up old wounds that make us feel vulnerable, but if we have the courage to communicate clearly, we will have the opportunity to heal the past. A good time for a truce. Turn your wounds into wisdom.~Oprah Winfrey

Theme: Initiative

With the the Sun, Moon and Mercury in Aries there is impetus to ‘do’ which means showing initiative even when others are not ready to join you. Aries is a courageous sign because it lives more in the now than other signs. That also means Aries energy can be impulsive and headstrong. Notwithstanding the downsides lots can get done right now and forward movement is the name of the game. Confusion is dissipating and being present is called for. What is the use of so much thought? It only causes delusion.~Patrul Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT 2.37 am and 5:30 am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: A full house

With the expansive union of Jupiter conjunct Neptune joining the Moon in Pisces it’s a day of immersion in the fullness of daily life and the myriad tasks that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. It’s a particularly good time to think and dream big but not escape for escape’s sake. It’s beneficial to deepen your awareness of your surrounds and connect with something larger than yourself whether it’s as vast as the universe, or simply your next door neighbor. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And the world will live as one.~John Lennon
