Theme: The Hermit

Venus, Moon and Saturn are all in strong aspect with each other. For some there may be a strong pull to be close to others, but a feeling of isolation and loneliness arises. Others will feel a wish for introspection and retreat while feeling closely connected to all beings. All transits are impermanent but can bring awareness if we pay close attention.

As when a flash of lightning rends the night, and in its glare shows all the dark black clouds that hid, likewise rarely, through the Buddha’s power virtuous thoughts rise brief and transient in the world.
~Shantideva

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST 2.50pm and 7.01pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Bountiful Opportunity

A day for working with like minded groups in areas you have genuine concern for others. Jupiter’s influence gives a worldwide overview as you look to future plans. Mind is clear and sharp with optimistic potentiality for all things to be possible. Feelings are expressed openly and sincerely and can bring decisive results.

For all those ailing in the world until their sickness has been healed, may I myself become the doctor, nurse, the medicine itself.
~Shantideva

Theme: Truth

With transiting Pluto conjunct the Moon today there are ‘ah ha’ moments likely preceded by a bit of pain. Pluto unearths painful, but potentially liberating, emotional truths: it’s up to you whether you go there or not. If you are able to accept the truth there will be some relief and expansion of reality enabling you to connect with greater truths about life and the universe.

I had a lover’s quarrel with the world.~Robert Frost

Theme: Steady accomplishment

With Saturn trine the Sun for the next few days steady accomplishment, based on right motivation and effort, is made. Your experience that bears fruit. Now is also the time to reap rewards from the past that were built on right motivation and effort. It’s a good time to approach those in authority. Emotional healing can occur at this time.

Practice and  thought might gradually forge many an art.~Virgil

Theme: Fullness

Today is a particularly auspicious day to undertake tasks and activities that have wide benefit. With the full Moon in Sagittarius there is optimism, idealism and a focus on expanding horizons. Discipline grounds you today especially when your interpretation of reality is challenged. Contemplation and resting your mind are supportive activities.

Form is empty. Emptiness is form. Emptiness is not other than form, and form is also not other than emptiness. In the same way, feeling, perception, formation and consciousness are empty~Buddha

You are more confident today in your abilities. With Mars involved confidence can manifest as having more zest and energy to accomplish tasks. Today Mercury moves into its home sign of Gemini sharpening thinking and clearing communication blockages. With the Moon in Sagittarius you can spread your wings and expand your horizons.

But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, Leaving no track behind.~Shakespeare

Theme: Silence is Golden

Moon and Mercury are opposite each other and square Saturn with the potential for fruitful inner dialogue which would lean toward a quiet, reflective day, maybe a solitary walk in nature. On the other hand, if with others it will be easy to experience conflict by misunderstandings on both sides of the aisle. It’s a good day for research, intensive study or meditation.

If you aren’t feeding the fire of anger or the fire of craving by talking to yourself, then the fire doesn’t have anything to feed on.
~Pema Chodron

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST 5.40pm and 6.30pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Passions Abound

The focus is on Moon in Scorpio opposite both Venus and Uranus in Taurus, a powerful combination. Venus in Taurus will bring out our sensual side with a propensity for overindulgence and extravagance. Moon in Scorpio exudes powerful emotions and intense passion. Then throw the grenade of Uranus in the mix and you will definitely experience some surprises. Don’t get too carried away by the excitement… just saying!!

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

~W. B. Yeats

Theme: Reflective Thoughts

Today there is an Air Grand Trine involving Sun, Moon and Saturn bringing idealism and wisdom. Saturn can bring discipline to help channel our energies so that we can pursue self evaluation and tame our emotions. It brings inner peace, balance and serenity and puts us in a good position to begin preparation for the future.

“Why do I make myself suffer? … Why can’t I be happy when I really want to be happy?” And the answer is that we don’t know our own nature.
~Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST 1.36pm and 4.41pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Finding the right balance

With the Moon in Libra you can find equanimity in situations that test that very quality. It’s like a strong case of Goldilocks and the three bears: not too hard, not too soft, just right. Only it’s not about beds necessarily – it could be about anything. The Moon is in harmony with the Sun today so that’s good news for the Moon in Libra which also seeks harmony. However the Moon also opposes Mars, both testing and inviting patience. Transform reactivity into activity. Do not think about the past, do not worry about the future, do not become distracted by whatever arises in the present.~Buddha
