Theme: Intellectual Energy or Overzealous Ego?

Mercury is tightly conjunct Mars today, and for four more days. We have more mental energy than usual. We can work longer and harder, but may get into debates or competitions with others. Will we get into arguments because of our ego? Or do we have a valid point to defend? There is a nice synchronicity between the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. The only danger is that we overdo a good thing.

To make a wish that you become able to help all beings throughout space, you need a strong self: with a weak self such an intention is impossible. ~H H the Dalai Lama

The Moon is void of course today until 2:12 pm EST. Do not make any major decisions until after this time.

Theme: Illumination

The Moon forms a T-square with the Sun and Jupiter bringing insights into challenges and re-framing difficulties. Jupiter, signals expansive energy, and even when you feel overwhelmed it can provide a steadying optimism. It doesn’t mean today will go smoothly but it does mean you see the big picture more easily, which gives you more perspective on situations. The Moon in Leo also adds more brio to the day and invites you to be both brave and bold.

I believe that freedom must be accompanied by a sense of responsibility. If I can he considered famous because I have succeeded in my life goals, which were different from most other Chinese Americans, I achieved because of my unique combination : American freedom of choice, Chinese discipline in responsibility, my integrity, and willingness to work.~Jade Snow Wong

Theme: Concluding transformation, for now…

The Moon in Cancer goes opposite the Pluto-Sun conjunction today giving a final kick-a-long to this transformative conjunction. It’s a like a magnifying glass intensifies this energy. In moments where you feel a loss of control remember, this too shall pass and that this energy is from the past – not right now. You can be innovative around your activities today, including managing any health challenges.

A violent wind does not outlast the morning; a squall of rain does not outlast the day. Such is the course of Nature. And if Nature herself cannot sustain her efforts long, how much less can humans!~Laozi

Theme: Transforming era

Pluto has moved into the sign of Aquarius where it will remain (notwithstanding a brief interlude in Capricorn from September 2-18) until March 8 2043. Pluto removes the old worn out modalities to allow space for new more aligned modalities. However, if there is resistance to change difficult outcomes from the build up in pressure can result. Pluto in Aquarius ushers in radical changes in society, community and technology. Those with major planets in Aquarius (think Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars in particular) can expect a particularly transforming, albeit challenging, time. With the Moon in Cancer in strong aspect today to Chiron, Mercury and Mars you have the opportunity for insights into psychological wounds in your family lineage.

… when mind shifts from awareness to nonawareness, limitless karmic seeds grow in that ground and come to fruition, and the cycle of suffering continues.~Khandro Rinpoche

Theme: Awareness

Health, home, relationships and awareness of non-ordinary reality are in play today. You can ask yourself am I really seeing what is there? Attention to home and hearth helps with health. Consideration of relationships, and how to improve them by looking for the deeper causes of interactions, can help you understand them better. As the Sun has moved past Pluto now is the time to have recognize the old, habitual ways that prevent you from being your authentic self.

If we practice ordinary compassion we will be kind, give help. If we want to help people in a permanent way, we have to know what will help them end their suffering. ~ Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 3.40pm until 4:51pm. 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: Happy Birthday Aquarians!

Mid morning today the Sun enters Aquarius. May we all enjoy the friendly, humanistic tendencies, and overcome the difficulties of getting warm and personal with others. It continues to be a deep, powerful time and Pluto is about to enter Aquarius as well. The Moon, our emotional life, is in restless, chatty Gemini for a few days. Our thinking and communication are enhanced by nice aspects to Saturn and Jupiter. We have disciplined, and expansive thought and talk.

The age of Aquarius has met our souls, We’ve come to dance earth bound to re create this world. ~Nicki rowe

The Moon is void of course from 8:58 am until 8:59 am EST. Do not make any major decisions during this time period. (Just “wait a minute”!)

Theme: Power and Depth

The Sun is united tightly with Pluto for a few more days. This is especially powerful as they are both at the very end of Capricorn and will be at the beginning of Aquarius. At best this gives us a deep, thoughtful approach to what ever we are doing. At worst there is a malevolent energy from others or ourselves, even if it is thought that the intention is good. Machinery tends to break down at this point. There is also emotional unrest today.

If you have a choice between being kind and being right, choose being kind and you will always be right. ~H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Generosity of spirit

With the Moon in Taurus conjunct Jupiter today it’s a natural opportunity to give to others and expand your circle of connection. Your communications can also benefit from reaching out beyond your normal comfort zone. At the same time the intensity of Pluto moving ever closer to the Sun is ratcheting up. You are being asked to draw deeply from the well of of your inner resources in order to move on from the past and build something new. You are more adventurous in your relationships and seek a common goal with others to nourish those who need it most.

Do you all give? Do you all help the poor? Are they real to you? Put effort into finding them. Because I see them. I know them. I can’t help it. These people are needy. These people include refugees who came with nothing. We’ve been praying for them all this time. And now they are here. They are our people. And we will give to them.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Leveraging available energy

With beneficial aspects to the Sun and Mars there is more available physical energy at your disposal, and more insights about how to harness this energy for inner development. The challenge is to not force this energy or your will on others. The aspects to the Moon provide the connective tissue in relationship to daily life and routine. Self-care is highlighted and supported by key friends at this time. The doorway of generosity towards others is open to you.

Although the nature of mind, the basis, is completely pure, one does not recognize this luminosity. Failing to recognize one’s own mind is what is known as ignorance. Out of ignorance arises the fixation to a self. ~ Third Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche

Theme: Challenging investigations

With the Sun approaching Pluto a light is shone on your subconscious impulses and deeply ingrained habits over the next week. You can see more clearly what is holding you back. You opponent is yourself. You have the opportunity to remove obstacles to your forward movement. Today there is a health challenge linked to your past. The Sun sextile Neptune softens the solid edges of Capricorn, illuminating spiritual truths.

All suffering comes from our mind and all happiness comes from our mind.~Dagyab Kyagoen Rinpoche
