Theme: Empathy and giving

With the Moon conjunct Jupiter giving is encouraged: even better generosity comes naturally with this aspect.  Imagination is heightened today as is compassion for others. You can put the inner mind to good spiritual work – don’t waste the opportunity. There is a tendency to be more critical of others so watch that tendency in yourself. You can continue to create opportunities for the benefit of others and yourself at this time because of the high energy available to you. ‘If it is not tempered by compassion, and empathy, reason can lead men and women into a moral void‘.~ Karen Armstrong

Theme: Planned activity

The Moon is Void of Course from 11:14 am to 3:07 pm EST USA which means try not to start anything important during this time including signing a contract. After 3:07 pm the Moon enters the much loved sign of Scorpio creating opportunities for in-depth conversations and intimate connections. It’s still a high energy and high activity time. So harness the energy wisely. ‘A horse is dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable in the middle’.~ Ian Fleming.

Theme: The critical mind

With the Moon square Saturn today you might feel a bit isolated and out of touch with your feelings. In the words of Billy Joel: ‘They’re sharing a drink we call loneliness but its better than drinking alone.’ We’re not encouraging you to drink! It’s only one day and it will pass. Contemplate the impermanence of all phenomena. Re-focus on the aspects that are working well today. ‘Sometimes I go about pitying myself, and all the while I am being carried across the sky by beautiful clouds.’~ Ojibway proverb

Theme: Service with a dollop of patience

With the Moon in Virgo its an opportunity to serve! How will you do that today? With Jupiter conjunct mars there’s still a lot of energy expansion activity. One side-effect is overdoing it. Don’t forget to stop at the water station during the marathon. It’s not a day to trust your emotions because emotional misunderstandings abound today. On the plus side there is overall potential for harmony. ‘Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions’~H.H. Dalai Lama

Theme: Unceasing activity

After a time of heightened emotion and activity it’s time to climb a mountain! That’s because there is little time for pause because of all the planetary activity right now. You are being stretched and individual needs do not take priority. There is a balance between facing reality and wishing it were otherwise. Good friendships and creative solutions assist. ‘When I look down at the flowing river, I fully realize the running nature of all flux.’~Milarepa

As the Sun approaches Pluto during the next week, you will have to fully engage in what you do. Some practical items need repair now. Power struggles with others abound. Stay out of unfamiliar neighborhoods if possible. Pride is strong with the Moon in Leo for the next two days. Keep a check on your inner deva, and enjoy some recreation with friends.

Theme: rebelliousness, inspiration and sociability 

Change the world today! Or just kick back and imagine doing it. Be social or meditative-both are supported by the planetary energies. There may be some emotional upset in your interactions, but it requires a deep patient response. There are always lessons learned from both positive and more challenging interactions. Change within ourselves can manifest in change in the world. As Mahatma Ghandi said: “We must become the change we wish to see in the world.”

Theme : Intuition and Inspiration 

May you find benefit in the activities you undertake in the coming year. Spirituality is heightened today. You may find yourself day dreaming, especially in the second half of the day. The challenge maybe to bring your mind back to the present. With the nurturing energy of the moon in Cancer, cook some nourishing soup and share it with others. You are still focusing on the big picture in your planning and decisions and open to new innovative ideas.  With four planets in Capricorn, emphasizing the results of our actions remember, “As you sow, you shall reap.”
