Theme:  The Dawning –  Aries Solar Eclipse
Between 6.49am to 7.04am EST in MD, there will be a partial eclipse of the Sun at 9 degrees of Aries, bringing light in unexpected ways to those who have a natal planet around this degree in Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.
This effect lasts for 6 months and can illuminate areas in your life that need to change. The Aries energy gives the courage to break out of habitual patterns that have held you back. Mercury and Venus retrograde offer opportunity to revisit unresolved matters in ways of thinking and communicating, relationships and values. The North Node places emphasis on spiritual solutions, allowing delusion to dissolve and focus on what is truly meaningful.
“ May I clearly perceive all experiences to be as insubstantial as the dream- fabric of the night, and instantly awaken to perceive the pure wisdom display of every phenomena.”
Chagdud Tulku

Theme:  The Night Sky

Tonight will bring a line-up of the majority of planets that you can actually see with the naked eye. A very unusual occurrence and as we know, we are experiencing unusual times. Neptune is in its last days of Pisces and is tightly woven with Sun, Saturn, Moon, Venus, Mercury and North Node.
Everything is very chaotic and truth is hard to find. It is a time of questioning long held beliefs.
For some it will bring a spiritual renewal based on compassionate idealism. Mars trine Saturn will assist in having the willingness and patience to attempt difficult and exacting work. Some will feel pessimism and depression with the turbulent uncertainty.
If possible reach out to others as Venus is also strongly placed today.
“ Only in darkness can I see light, only in mud can I find a lotus, only in defilement can I see Buddha.”
Dzongsar Khentse Rinpoche

Theme: Forthright

The Sun, Venus, Mercury and Chiron are all in Aries, focusing attention on actions and moving forward. Aries is not a contemplative sign. Courage to face difficulties are what enables Aries movement forwards. As one of the cardinal signs it’s signature saying is that ‘actions speak louder than words’. It’s the sign of the warrior and at a higher level it represents the noble Bodhisattva Warrior who undertakes actions on behalf of all beings in spite of challenges and difficulties.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.~Anais Nin

The Moon is Void of Course between 6.15am and 3.31pm. Focus on inner goals. Take time for contemplation and avoid signing major contracts.

Theme: Meaningful conversations

With Mercury and Venus close, on-to-one conversations are particularly illuminating and enlivening. Turbulent waters of the mind can be calmed with this aspect. The North Node sits between Neptune and Saturn acting as a fortuitous bridge in bringing these two very different energies together. A new way of integrating the spiritual and material is offered with this aspect.

A frog in a well cannot conceive of the ocean.~Zhuangzi

Theme: Insightful moments

The Moon is conjunct Pluto today bringing psychological insights through investigating truthfully, the basis for your feelings and responses. This aspect coupled with Sun sextile Pluto means you’re more likely to speak your mind. How this is received is another matter! The Sun is conjunct Mercury bringing news through your initiation of ideas and plans. Younger people are your allies today. The Sun is also conjunct Venus making auspicious connections through relationships. This aspect is often accompanied by a celebration.

Do not burst into anger while others do nonsense. Do not let your afflictive emotions increase. It’s important to stay with a firm mind.~HH Penor Norbu Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course between 11:01 and 11.25am. Avoid major projects and signing contracts.

Theme:  Action through Communication
With Sun conjunct retrograde Mercury you may well revisit a conversation or have communication with others about an important issue in your life and share insights you have had recently.
If you’re open to their input and perceptions rather than completely self-absorbed, you may find it’s a good opportunity to make creative plans for your future that could bring some real success. The Aries energy available right now can inspire and bring long awaited action.
“ Action is the antidote to despair.”
Joan Baez

 

Theme:  Spring Exuberance
Today the Moon moves into Capricorn bringing a little emotional sobriety and self control which may be a good thing with Aries passion abounding.
The Sun is exactly conjunct Venus in Aries inviting creative self expression in relationships. You may enjoy socializing with friends new and old. Kindness and warmth will prevail even if the Moon clouds the picture occasionally. Thought tempted to extravagance by such a strong Venus, the Moon should help us apply some discipline to not blowing our budget completely.
Overall it’s a very favorable financial transit.

“ Always it’s spring and everyone’s in love and flowers pick themselves.” EE Cummings

Theme:  Coercion or Ceasefire

Today is the Equinox, the time at which the sun crosses the celestial equator, when day and night are approximately equal length. (This gets a little confusing with daylight saving)
It is also the day when the Sun moves into Aries bringing the radiance of spring and sunshine into our lives again. There is a feeling of confidence and vitality and for some a forceful assertion of individuality. This is being displayed on a national and international level. As Mars is the ruler of Aries, there is a potential for war but with Venus and Mercury conjunct the Sun, dialogue and communication towards a ceasefire are ongoing also.

Theme: Explore

The Moon is in Sagittarius today giving the green light to exploration and adventure. You don’t have to go far to experience an environment that expands your horizons and get you thinking about the big picture. Sagittarius is a fire sign so optimism is one of its signatures. Mercury retrograde continues to move towards Venus creating a silver lining in communications and relationships.

You do not see as the Buddha sees, with a mind that is natural, uncontrived, and relaxed. You do not know the natural state-your own Nature that is beneath the conceptualizations you force upon it.~Her Eminence Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Making space

With the Sun conjunct Neptune conjunct Venus there is the promise of recognition of your own true nature. The normal barriers are down allowing wisdom to arise. Finding space and solitude assists with this enterprise. The Moon moves into Sagittarius later in the day bringing attention to the wider world .Neptune conjunct Venus shows us that the beauty in small and large moments can be transforming.

The main result of solitude is that pointless activities naturally diminish.~ Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course between 3.28 and 4.17pm ESDT USA. Avoid major undertakings.
