Theme: Disseminating and contemplation

With the Moon in Pisces in the last quarter it’s a good time to tie up loose ends, finish and complete tasks. The Moon in Pisces provides nurturing waters for reflection and contemplation. As the Moon approaches Saturn, rather than turning away from others, turn to spiritual practices for insights. Diligence pays off. Beauty is a touchstone for upliftment at this time.

Please focus within, and shine the light of your love on to the world…~Chamtrul Rinpoche

Theme: Harmony comes with view

With the Moon Void of Course most of the day it’s a time for tying up loose ends and not undertaking overly large projects. Small is good. Later in the day the Moon squares the conjunction of Jupiter, Venus and the Sun creating a tension that can inspire a search for more spaciousness and reflection on what is actually doable. At this time it is better pays to take small bites of the pie of life.

We may think that in meditation we have a lot to do. That’s why sometimes we say, I’m “doing” meditation. Actually there’s nothing to do. Just sit. ~Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche

Theme: Communication habits

With Mercury square the Moon today you’ll be forgiven for wishing to hold your tongue. The unpredictability of communications is the cause. However, as the situation is fluid repairs can always be made. Mercury is also moving towards Uranus bringing an underlying pressure to change the way you communicate. It can also mean sudden unexpected ruptures in communication. There is always a saving grace and this time the Sun in Gemini shines upon all communication conundrums and keeps the communication situation flexible enough to find the middle ground.

When our mind is disturbed by strong emotions, we’re no longer lucid and peaceful, and our perceptions are distorted. When our mind is calm like a peaceful lake, we reflect things as they are.~Thich Nhat Hahn

Theme: Deepening

With the Moon approaching Pluto today, conjunct in Aquarius, there is an opportunity to reflect on your routines, emotions and intentions: change and innovation are friends at this time. While the Sun has moved past Jupiter and Venus , there is still the ambience of optimism that pervades the space, notwithstanding that in the sign of Gemini changes in direction are inevitable. Mars is conjunct Chiron reminding you that forward movement can be impeded by past emotional wounds.

It is such a mistake to assume that practicing dharma will help us calm down and lead an untroubled life; nothing could be further from the truth. Dharma is not a therapy. Quite the opposite, in fact; dharma is tailored specifically to turn your life upside down-it’s what you sign up for.~Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 4.42pm until 4:45am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme:  Optimism

As Jupiter moves into Gemini for 12 months it brings greater optimism and expansive ideas. Interests and opportunities are wide ranging. Jupiter, Sun and Venus are closely aligned improving health, vitality and a strong desire for happiness and peace. Where there have been difficulties in relationships there is now the potential for success with good and clear communication. It’s also beneficial for finances particularly if you resist extravagance.

Theme: Sensitivity

Today the Moon moves into Capricorn allowing us to react with self control and determination. It’s easy to set aside personal concerns to fulfill duties. A Moon Neptune aspect can inspire great devotion in our spiritual life and bring increased sensitivity to our environment, that’s not easy to understand the meaning of what we see.

“ For the very idea of self to arise there has to be division in which there appears to be a separation between self and other.”
Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme:  Brighter Days

For so long we have lived through challenging transits and now Venus and Sun have moved into Gemini bringing light and movement to communication we can take a breath again. Pluto is also trine these two planets bringing potential for positive change.
This is a time for communicating clearly with others and bringing peace and kindness to the table. The Moon in Sagittarius also adds hope and idealism for the future. Today is day like no other as all the aspects are soft and only a couple are challenging.

Theme: Over-expansion

There are lots of beneficial outcomes with Jupiter conjunct Venus, bringing forth meritorious causes and conditions. But also, with Jupiter involved it can also indicate over-expansion, going too far and, with respect to the ego, thereby over-estimating one’s own capacities. The Moon has moved into Sagittarius and Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter adding a double dose of Jupiterian expansionism to the next couple of days – which could simply mean over-estimating the amount of cake you can eat. Jupiter is activated most beneficially when humanitarian and education goals are harnessed for good.

Mindfulness requires that we bring all our attention to whatever we’re doing, whether walking or breathing, brushing our teeth, or eating a snack.~Thich Nhat Hahn

Theme: Expansion, Contraction, Integration

With the beneficial aspect of Venus and Jupiter to the Sun there is an accompanying expansion of view and seeing that you are part of a whole. Daily life however can bring you down to earth with the minutiae and challenges of dealing with the nitty gritty, and the natural cycles of coming together and coming apart. The challenge is to integrate daily activities with a greater perspective of how both are link – both the Moon and it’s daily rituals and work ethic, and the Sun with its inherent life sustaining purpose.

Know contentment And you will suffer no discrace, Know when to stop And you will meet with no danger You can then endure.~Lao Tzu

Theme: Sparkle, Arkle

With Venus, Jupiter and Sun in close conjunction there is beauty to be found within oneself and outside oneself in the world around you. The elements are more harmonious and good outcomes are more accessible. The Moon in Scorpio brings an intensity and investigative quality to actions today. Sun trine Pluto adds to the investigation and provides more insight into habits and patterns that trip you up and enables you to draw on your inner resilience.

We have to look deeply to see how we grow our food, so we can eat in ways that preserve our collective well-being, minimize our suffering and the suffering of other species, and allow the Earth to continue to be a source of life for all of us.~Thich Nhat Hahn
